    Bench Grinder

    Hello folks, Looking ahead to Father's Day 2018 and I think Dad is due for a new bench grinder. He would like a grinding wheel on one side and a wire brush on the other side. This will be used in a small automotive hobby shop, nothing super heavy duty. I'm looking to probably spend up to $300...

    MAC Tools, how "common" are they

    What about Gearwrench trucks? That's probably the best service in my town.

    Tools around London

    Interesting notes about London guys, thank you for sharing. Lots of cafes and gambling establishments, not so much in the way of tools! I have some family in East Sussex that I can go and see anytime. I've been told a "boot fair" is where I should go if I want to find some neat, old tools...

    Tools around London

    Hello, I'm going to be in London, England for a little while and was wondering if anyone knows of any neat tool stores to check out. Wouldn't mind traveling to a different city, either. Something along the lines of a Harry J. Epstein. Not really interested in homeowner or power-tool DIY...

    Who cleans their tools!?

    Frequently and using that exact product. I dislike the grime that gets built up on my soft grip tools after a day's use.

    Flashlight for Auto Shop Environment

    Thinking it's time to get a professional grade flashlight for use with in an independent repair shop. The guys I work with mostly all use Streamlight Stinger lights they got from the Gearwrench driver, but I'm not sure if its exactly what I'm after. I would like: 1. DO NOT want a...

    Where can I find this threaded insert?

    I am adding power steering to my '68 Ranchero that was originally a non P/S truck. As such, there is no provision to mount my power steering ram. I found this article about the proper procedure to affix some inserts, but am unsure of where to begin looking to purchase them. Anyone familiar...

    Who likes 1/4 Drive and Why

    Primarily I find myself using 1/4 drive sockets on my ratcheting 1/4 driver. This is great for hose clamps! Second to that is when I am doing interior work on vehicles. The way I setup my tools is that my 3/8 sockets go down to 8mm & 5/16. I use these sockets with a 3/8 drive anvil in a 1/4...

    New KRSC326

    I think this is the part number for the adapter panel KRSC404APV. Took me a while to find it! I have moved my tools over, but it is a sorry sight. I am a student starting my collection.

    New KRSC326

    Received the KRSC326 I ordered last month. Color is Midnight Blue and it is very, very sharp looking in person. I had to laugh when I saw the keys that came with it. Does this series of cart have any customization options? Maybe change drawer layout or add a prybar rack to the side?
