Made of American hickory but started in Taiwan and finished in China.
Just wondering what did the screwdriver set run you?Forgot to take a pic before I opened it, but screwdriver set from the dealer, and a couple wrench sets from the 40% deal.
From what I recall I think it was $280 after a $60 discount
Got a trio of Vessel sets for Father's Day. I must have mentioned at some point I was wanting a set of Vessel screwdrivers, but I guess when he went to get me one he didn't know which ones I wanted, so he tried to cover all the bases. Vessel Megadora 8pc, Vessel Precision screwdriver set, and an Vessel Impact Ball Driver.
He did good!
And now that Impact Ball Driver set came in a case with some empty slots that now I'm going to have to figure out what to fill them with.
What do you work on that you will use these enough to be worth while?
I have this Birzman double ended no-handle set. Completely different thing really and the shafts are ~1.5mm diameter, so not much of a comparison, and I don't have them with me right now.
I'm not sure, I've wanted these for a long time because I thought they looked cool. I've found myself wanting ratcheting open end wrenches very few times for sure, pretty much only when a socket can't be used because of some obstruction.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I haven't needed to use it yet, but I assume it's similar in respects to their impacta screwdrivers, not on level with an actual impact driver though.
We all (me) want to know if a 14 hex fits in the 13 surface drive!! My set didnt leave Louisville yet.The $50 Gedore ratchet and socket set from Zoro actually showed up today. These are my first Gedore tools, they're not bad, I like the knurling bands on the sockets, the satin finish isn't bad either. I don't understand what people see in the ratchet(s) though, I think it's 44 tooth and smooth, but very much just "an ratchet". I'm not disappointed about spending $50 on it though.
That is pretty cool. I have a set of Craftsman that have that odd open end on both ends. I must have bought it 20+ years ago. I have not tried one yet, but one of these days. I havent seen anything else like it until now.Snap-on SRSM speed/FDP wrench set.
I have the exact same set, the 12mm was perfect for undoing the front powerhead bolt on Yamaha 90hp outboards.
I ordered the exact same set, same price. After about three weeks they pushed the delivery date back to September. Two days later canceled the order.

re spoke wrenches. The color is the size. Most keep that color coding. I have the black (used most by me) and the green for a set of mavic wheels that just had to use that ****** size. I also have the 3 sided park which has 0,1,2 sizes. I also have an 8 sized spoke wrench as well. Sometimes a little corrosion, and you go the next size up.
Honestly, I would just try it again. They haven't adjusted the price on it. Even if Zoro shot me down on something like that.. I have to say that they have saved me tons of money the last year, I would have a hard time writing them off.
Labels are awesome. Just the labeling process helps me sort and classify stuff so I remember where things go, and put stuff away. And a memory aid when the above doesn't work!I wanted to get a label maker and decided I'd rather not worry about batteries.
Ended up narrowing it down to a Dymo 1570 - an old school embossing style label maker.
This one is new to me, and likely older than I am. It's mostly metal and very burly.
It's a bit slower to use than an electronic label maker, but I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff.
It'll be nice to have drawers, hardware, and blowmolded cases labeled.
It'll also be nice if having someone else grab something. And to label all the totes we use to store outdoors gear. A long overdue purchase!
Yeah, itās definitely on Gedore and not Zoro. Anything not in stock from Gedore takes a long, long time to import. KC Tool also has most of their Gedore stuff that is out of stock with a late July or August release.
Just remembered that in the past week I got a Husky kneeling pad from Home Depot. 22" x 15" x 1.5". Best pad I've seen. Nice and comfy, and large enough that if you're kneeling on the floor while peering under a dash, you can move about and still have your knee(s) on the mat. $14.88.
Also, stopped by my local/only Ace Hardware today and grabbed a brush. I wanted a handbrush, so I removed this plastic socket when I got home.
The best kind of Lanka!
Hi, which model Milwaukee M12 drill is pos and why? The reason I am asking is I have Snap-on 14,4v at work and wanted Milwaukee M12 for home use but can not decide.Todayās stop on the truck. Ratchet is a warranty replacement for a vintage one. Shirts and bottle opener was baked into everything Iāve bought over the last 25 years.
Drill is to replace the pos Milwaukee M12 at work.
Way better, theyāre much thicker and softererer. I donāt have the husky but do keep a klein one in my truck, itās the same thing just different colors.
Standard M12. I drill and tap a lot of holes at work. I usually use the m12 for the smaller ones vs a Dewalt 20v for the bigger ones. The Milwaukee should not have a 1/2ā chuck (probably the same for the SO). Itās very underpowered above say 3/8ā, also it seems with Milwaukee once it gets moderately warm it chews through batteries at a very fast pace. In my career of owning way too many platforms of tools, the Milwaukees are the only ones Iāve had thermal issues with.
Zoro has really good support in my experience. Just give them a call if you have an issue or question.
Snap-On has made a bunch of different Ratcheting Open End Wrench designs over the decades judging by patents.
