$150 for those is a pretty good deal, congrats! And thank you, it was a lot of work but turned out real nice and still looks great. You're doing a great job restoring yours and I'm excited to see the end product!

That's a nice set you got there! Where in Canada are you located? I've always wanted a large Beach roller like that. Probably will buy one, one day. What did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?

I **think** Leatherman fixed this issue with the new-ish model by changing the handle design slightly. That said, I used to be a Victorinox swiss army man through and through, but after I came to university and didn't have any tools, the Leatherman really shined. I keep it in my bag at all...

Interesting, I've put some hard use on my 7" PW and haven't seen this issue...Maybe send them in for warranty?

Meh, that crinkle finish black will just be harder to clean. Same with the handles. I can never get my Cobra's looking as good as my PliersWrenches. IMO the Cobra's and now these new PliersWrenches look cheaper Ofcourse, I could just be saying this to make myself feel better about having the...

Sounds like my dad and I! We've ran an old ~1959 40hp Viking (made by OMC, for Eatons I believe?) for some 25 years. We replaced just about every hose on that engine, as well as the diaphragm and impellers, until we finally upgraded to a brand spankin new 1972 Mercury 700 70hp. Got it in 2010 in...

Gray's been around for quite a while, they're the Canadian Snap-on. Great tools though, right up there with Snap-on, Mac, Matco, etc. imo

Wow, nice find! You ****.......but would you take $25!?

I don't see a difference between these and the ones that have been around for a while?? Either way, you won't be disappointed. Great pliers, I carry them instead of an adjustable wrench when out in the woods. The 7" (180mm) ones will take off a 27mm axle nut off my KTM. EDIT: Looks like they...

The Harbor Freight 1.5t alu one is pretty good. It's light and compact. Lifts the whole front end of my Audi easily. Not bad for a cheap jack. My only complaint is that it has the single roller in the front, as opposed to 2 wheels on either side. One of these days I'll turn up some "stabilizer"...

Must be something about Jeeps and losing Leatherman's :headscrat

Back when I had a Jeep, I needed pliers to zip my windows back in, so I'd carry Channellock 317s, and my leatherman wave. Unfortunately, once I was in a rush and left the leatherman on the roof of the Jeep and drove away... I lost a 16mm Husky USA 3/8" drive socket when I was taking the...

Picked up an old Beach B26 the other day for $40. Not the best condition, but good for the price imo. Looks to be rebranded by Mastercraft. Couldn't find a stamp in the back to get the year, but judging by the shape of the crest, I'd say 80s. This is my first Beach top chest, I've been wanting...

I would say 4.5" is most versatile. It can be used for damn near anything. Granted, its not always the best tool for the job, but if I only had one, it would definitely be the 4.5"

My pliers drawer: Not bad for 17 year old eh It started with the 7 inch pliers wrench that use in my dirtbike tool bag. Then I saw they were at Lowes, and I had to get them. Then I got the 12 inch pliers wrench for cheaper then the 7 inch.
