Don't worry about the jaw slop, I haven't slipped off a fastener yet and I regularly use it with a cheater pipe or a sledge.

I wonder if these are made by the same company that makes Snap-on Adjustable wrenches. They are also made in Spain and have similar number marking on them.

I have those Facom hose clamp pliers. They're great!! Is that a NEW MAC 90 tooth 3/8 drive ratchet? I don't have a MAC driver but, that ratchet looks sweet!!!

I have a nice pair of Clic-r clamp pliers already but these looked like they would be a little handier, good to know they work for you :beer:

Yup, it's nice man... Smooth, compact, and the handle fits just so :thumbup:

No, SO/Bahco's wrenches are made by a different company in Spain, Irimo.

That said, Irega is the OEM for a number of high-end European brands, such as Stahlwille and Hazet.

At the end of the day, I still prefer my Knipex Pliers Wrench to any adjustable wrench. Even the nice Irega-made ones.

Interesting.

I would like a review if you get an opportunity.

I feel I have come to the conclusion you can not have enough hose clamp pliers.

Added this to my collection today. 10" Pliers wrench.

$12 out of pocket makes it even better.

Quite possibly one of the best tools I've owned. One of these does truly replace a set of metric and standard wrenches for the DIY guy. Epic.

iScream · Nov 11, 2015

Some sharpening stuff and Knipex end cutters.

I got a Sears is dumb story along with the pliers. Ordered from Sears on Sunday for $9 after points. Monday morning I got an email from Sears saying they were out of stock and wouldn't ship until November 24th. Today I got an email saying they shipped. Two hours later UPS delivered them.

My Ellis 1600 band saw. :bounce:

firworks · Nov 12, 2015

My 1-ton arbor press from the Enco sale arrived today.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal for 57$ shipped. Now I just need to find some repair that I can use it on! Not that I'm hoping to do another wheel hub now that it's cold out...

anndel · Nov 12, 2015

This is my latest arrival from yesterday was Craftsman 17 pc screwdriver set. The Snap On 3/8" 6 point flank drive deep socket set 8-19mm from 2 weeks ago and the Snap on MG725 Impact Wrench from last month which replaces a broken Aircat Killer Torque IW that died and I only had that for almost a year.

I took a knife to it.

There's no way that grip will ever slip off the handle.

After 6 months or so of oil soaked use the grips swell and are removable. Great wrenches though, I have the 6W, 8W, 12, 15. They take a beating.... steel hammer LOL

How do you like that Max Axess set? I just got one for $5 the other day after points. Haven't gone to pick it up yet though.

It's pretty high quality. Ratchet feels smooth and all in all the system is good. It's interchangeable with gearwrench pass through. If that means anything.

Exceller8 · Nov 12, 2015

Some bargain shopping: :thumbup:

Gedore set was $66 shipped (Amazon)

Facom (France) 10mm insulated wrench $12.50 shipped (Ebay)

Taiwan? Looks like Taiwan, the Chinese Craftsman ratchets tend to have a rather poor finish. Nice score, I might have to take a good look at those.

Who makes the socket rails? gearwrench? They look just like the matco ones.

Any info on how to find the SK beanie and emblem on the site? Tried but no luck. :lol_hitti

Jarhead0408 · Nov 13, 2015

I don't know about the emblem, but the beanie was just a limited promo item for this years SK Day.

I obviously didn't spend enough. :lol:

My order showed up today, with a hole in the box, and one less ratchet than I ordered. Already contacted HJE. Not a fan of the USPS playing soccer with my packages...

Could be worse, last year I had a package that got delayed by a "train derailment" according to tracking. When it showed up it looked like someone dropped a nuclear bomb on it :willy_nil

Got my order in today! 3/4 XXL breaker bar, 3/8 XXL breaker bar, 1"-1 1/8" line wrench, and 3/8, 1/2 drive metric hex socket set. Got the sweet tshirt, awesome beanie, just in time for cold weather, and the power bank. I'm pretty pumped about that 3/4" breaker bar!

Posted it to the SK Day thread too

Also recently picked up some new CL pliers, Wiss snips, Crescent pliers, DeWalt bits, Stanly knife and blades, new bolt gauge and 25 pairs of 3M safety sunglasses.

What's the diameter of the 3/4 breaker bar below the flex joint? Thanks.

Diameter of the shaft of the bar is 15/16".
Outside diameter of the whole flex joint is 1 3/4".
Handle diameter 1 5/8".
Hope that helps. I haven't used it yet. But it feels good and solid.

JAKE-THE-TOOL-MAN · Nov 13, 2015

That 3/4 breaker bar is just beautiful to look at. It's tempting to buy but I have no 3/4 sockets so it would just sit.

That's why SK has a 3/4 to 1/2 adapter.

I'm not a fan of Milwaukee hand tools, but for $12 it will save me abusing my Spyderco's.
