Ha. Please post a review once you have used it.
I always think of myself as a skilled manual drill bit sharpener but sadly I usually end up ******* up the damn things.
As if often the case, it is very hard to make any sense of the Amazon reviews on this lil machine you got there.

I can give you my review of the Drill Doctor: The boss bought one for our shop and I used it about 20 bits before I decided it was just too much hassle and the stone was already starting to loose the correct shape / angle (bits coming out rounded, not true / straight).
Not a bad machine, if you have time on your hands, but we're working shop and time is money - it takes longer to process a dull bit through that machine than my time is worth.....just hand sharpen in a few seconds (luckily I'm good at that) or go buy another bit.

Channellocks Snap Ring Pliers, Makita impact socket set @ Home Depot $19


I just got that Makita socket set. The 3/8" drive is either wobble or fixed depending on how you attach the socket. I haven't used it yet but I am impressed with the quality for the price.

I've got that 3/8 adapter too, bought it without the sockets. Great little piece, I really like Makita's bits and attachments even though my power tools are all Milwaukee.

Yep seems Taiwan tool's are an improvement in quality over Chinese so I figured what the Heck why not. I won't be taking off any lug nuts or motor mounts so it shouldn't give me any grief. :pimpflash

All of my cobras have milled jaws with no black grey coating on them. I've never seen cobras with the coating on the flat (milled? ) face next to the jaws. Are these a different style?

Those wrenches looks nice. Care to share a bigger photo showing how thin or thick the profile is? More detail would be nice too. Britool looks interesting, tho I don't think they are readily available in the US without insane shipping prices.

What is its COO? I wished I invested more into buying european tools, or tools in general when I was living in Scotland years ago...

They look a lot like some of my Mac wrenches. Mac is owned by Stanley. Hopefully they are of the same quality. ;-)

They are a good looking wrench!

What did you pay if you don't mind my asking?:thumbup:

Cornwell sells a similar set for about $130.

Those look great. Got a link by any chance?
I can't find them on Cripe. Might be gone already.

LoL so I see you found yourself reading this thread only to find yourself on eBay or whatever trying to find something you saw here. I catch myself doing that too. Increasingly lately LoL.:lol_hitti

Sorry bro but those I did not get from cripe. It was an auction that I managed to win for less then 20 bucks. 18.60something to be exact, tho I have no idea how much these go retail for as I have never ever seen them before this. But I lurk eBay for boxend wrenches (tools in general) a lot, if I see some like these I'll drop you a pm with the link.

Here is the parts number 3/4 and 11/16 is 85-820. 7/8 and 13/16 is 85-821. 1 and 15/16 is 85-830. Made by Stanley, made in the USA too. Hope that helps.:beer:

I don't think they are the same. The Mac are straight zero offset, these have a slight offset to them and a lot thicker too. I could be wrong tho

Mac has and still does make double box end wrenches with a 10-15 degree offset.

http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Wrenc...Offset-Double-Box-Wrench-Set-in-Plastic-Tray-

I have a set of Mac Micro Turn wrenches and they look very similar to your Stanley wrenches. Mine are probably just a bit shorter.

Hope you weigh about 150 lbs or that creeper will drag

175 here and it doesn't drag unless i'm sitting up. Laying flat it works fine. Biggest problem I have is the super loose swivel bearings locking up the wheels all the time. :mad:

PBT Seal kit. COO Taiwan. PVC, sockets and fender washers work well but saw this and just thought it was a good purchase as opposed to rigging a configuration up.

Is that to go around a crank to tap the seal in?

Picked up those locking pliers on clearance a while back, they are alright but super bulky. The snap ring pliers are awesome, I have the craftsman branded ones which are the same.
