Who makes that torx set?

Pretty sure that’s the NEIKO set. Available on Amazon for $30. - $35. Dollars. I have the same set. Good deal for the money. Used it quite a few times without issue.

WHen I was shopping, the neiko set was around $60, right now it's $55 on amazon. The one I bought basically looks identical but the only markings are cr-v and the size. Doesn't have any mfr name. I lumped these in with a few other ebay orders with a 15% coupon so they were about $30.

I stand corrected, price is $55.00 on Amazon for the NEIKO set.

About $9. Can't see how they could be any better/worse than Vise-Grip's model as they are basically the same.

Have been using these and the model with the pads and been very pleased. Half the cost of vice grips. Made in Taiwan and lifetime warranty where I can just walk in a HF and swap out a broken for new if it happens.

Went in to order the ratchet and he had it on promo! Got the wobbles on promo as well. He knows how to keep taking my money

I'm in the market for some of these, but I'm seeing them for $50 SAE and $90 Metric online. Is $60 for both repeatable, or was that specific to you?

 

[Flash21]

Got tired of raiding my garage set when I needed one at my bike workbench.

I've been using those, the 6" and 18" day in and out for the last 4-5 months hundreds of times daily. They are a good buy for sure

Sold on amazon fulilled by Mobile tool supply. Little slow on shipping but packed very nicely.

So far, I’ve run into sockets from Carlyle, Koken, Proto, & SK whose through-holes are smaller than the corresponding peg on those things. This is NOT a complaint directed at the socket manufacturers, but at the idiot engineer who bought one set of Snap On or Kobalt or whatever and designed a product around it.

Nice design on that.
Never seen that before.

Is it wobbly or solid ?

 

[HaroRider]

Obviously not on par with the snap-on and mac stuff I have at work but I wanted a cheap and comprehensive set of torx bits for home and this fit the bill

I have this set, not a bad set.

I usually drill the socket out. I even ordered a Snap on 6mm to fill the tray. It showed up with no hole at all. Took a 3flute carbide drill but I got through it.

I go the other way and sand down the post until my sockets fit

Hi dodge610,

I have experience with the Grease Monkey and Firm Grip gloves with cleaning chemical use. Here is a small review:

- Grease Monkey: I work in I.T. and refurbish small Zebra label printers for the pharmaceutical industry. I clean the outside with either Goo Gone, Zep Write Away (as a final step to remove remaining adhesives or ink), or Zep Formula 50 (after scraping adhesives or other undesirable material). These chemicals go right thru the nitrile palm and right to the finger tips.

- Firm Grip Nitrile Coated: These gloves are much better than the Grease Monkey. However, they only last half to one day of use in chemicals before needing another pair. The chemicals don't permeate thru the nitrile coating.

Good to hear I deliver fuel oil and gasoline in bulk that is what i use them for usually get a week out of a pair.

I had the Firm grips before, noticed they make your hands sweaty and stinky

 

[hangfirew8]

Late Christmas present to myself, ordered Christmas Day received 28th from Amazon. Channellock oil filter/PVC pipe pliers set OF-2.

 

[rmsg0040]

^^ I had the 9" pliers and then bought the 12", I should have bought the 15" instead

 

[Jeff590]

Seems solid to me. It replaced one of the Torin Big Red seats - the casters on that one were were getting worn. I think this one is better built (but more money)

Just curious, what do you need 15" for? These seem to be just right for my vehicles. I don't anticipate a need for doing larger pipe or huge engine filters.

Jaw capacity

209 - 1.75-3"
212 - 2.5-3.75"
215 - 2.5-4.5"

15" for me would have been more better in terms of reach, on my mom's equinox accessing the oil from the bottom I wish I had more reach to grab the oil filter as the exhaust is right there, with the 12" my hands are right at the bottom of the pliers and I sometimes brush the exhaust if not careful

While doing an upgrade to the bench grinders, I spotted Menard's 11% sale was back on. I checked out total $$ of rebates on hand and decided to replace the small Skil bench grinder.


8" coarse wire wheel came from HD.

 

[Bldmovs]

Replaced my 20 year old jack. I’m in love!

 

[AirForceVet]

I have that jack. I really like it!
