    1/4 drive 5/8” 6 point deep socket

    I used to have a Ultrapro deep and SK USA 5/8 shallow. The broaching on the SK was awful and had manual die grinding on the 1/4 drive hole. I sold them with my old socket collection but I kept the 1/8 SK shallow and deep as they are close enough to the Tekton set. If you were in Canada you can...

    Tiny claw hammer - “ATF”

    Looks like the hammer head from one of those really old kids woodworking kits. The nails were pretty much tacks and had a coping saw with a 3" blade.

    Honda's are indeed expensive. While you can get Honda engines on various power equipment, they haven't allowed another brand to use one on a snowblower since they started making them in the 80's.

    Seems they have a 15/16mm and 18/20mm to complete the set but of course the two wrenches cost as much as the set.

    Wright Tools Disappointment (Transforms to Respect)

    Typically shared wrench blanks happen on sizes outside of the common wrench sizes. For example Gearwrench 72t ratchet wrenches 13/16 and 7/8, 15/16 and 1", 20mm, 21mm and 22mm, 24mm and 25mm.

    Wright Tools Disappointment (Transforms to Respect)

    Here's a comparison of my Wright wrenches. The Westward is a Taiwan made by Infar. My other open end wrenches are either Gearwrench or Kabo made Mac with a V groove open end. The 3/8 is smaller than the 10mm and bigger than my 9mm.

    Wright Tools Disappointment (Transforms to Respect)

    My Wright SAE and metric wrench sets were bought a little over two years ago and there are no shared wrench blanks between sizes. I love these wrenches. There is lots of used SAE Snap On tools for sale near me but the SAE market is dead up here so they sit for months unsold.

    Speed Handles --- What They Good For?

    I have a 1/2 drive Canadian made Snap On that I got for free. Haven't used it yet but is one of the few Canadian made tools I have.

    Tools of Japan

    While not Koken, my Stahlwille wobble extensions are stamped: 1/4 - 40 nm 3/8 - 80 nm 1/2 - 200 nm By their nature wobbles aren't as strong as a normal extension.

    New Tekton extra shallow socket and tiny 1/4 ratchet Releases

    There is a groove cut in the middle of the 12 point ring that holds a metal clip that fits into the notches on the socket.

    Tekton Auto wire stripper

    I'd totally buy a professional grade Little Tikes wrench set just to mess with people. You need to borrow a wrench, here you go...

    Tools from the old world

    Finished my Stahlwille locking and wobble extensions set. I put in the three that I already owned in this picture.

    Received my Stahlwille locking and wobble extensions from Mister Worker today. I can retire my Mastercraft ones other than the 20" as Stahlwille doesn't make long ones except for a 18" 3/8 but the price is more than double.

    Screwdriver Sunday … let’s see ‘em

    Nothing super fancy here, mostly Taiwan made acetate handles.

    New Tekton extra shallow socket and tiny 1/4 ratchet Releases

    Just noticed that they now have the extra shallow listed on the main page but are saying the missing sizes that are included in their other sets will be available in a couple months. Wonder why they released it if they are going to finish the set later? So early buyers would have to buy them...
