    Picked up the Ko-ken locking wobble extension, and a few Tone offset double box ratcheting wrenches that I was curious to try (made in Taiwan). One thing that wasn’t mentioned before on the locking wobble extension is that the locking mechanism locks the socket in wobble-mode - you’d need to...

    I’ve had the 200mm version of these and really enjoy using them.

    If it cut wood well in 2010, it’ll cut wood well in 2026. I’m in for the old model! Been using a 35-yr old fixed 10” Makita miter saw.

    Totally agree, especially on the wobble-fix where you are actually pulling on the socket to go from fixed to wobble.

    That’s not bad for a brokerage fee at all. I don’t know why i expected that to be higher. But that also isn’t a very heavy shipment- a few larger wrenches and you’re already at 2kg.

    Really appreciate you sharing this datapoint. I haven't done an order from Japan since Tariffs went into place. Do you know how much your 17 items weighed? And did DHL collect additional brokerage fees upon delivery to you?

    Lots of little items here and there but they sure add up. Thanks for sharing! How did you (and others) choose between KTC’s MR1A and LMR1A doubles box and flex head ratcheting wrenches? Satin vs mirror finish?

    The problem with that is you end up buying stuff you don’t need just to make it more “worth” it. Can you share what 28 items you’ve got waiting there? I need ideas lol

    The Facom Tools Thread.

    Curious if anyone here has experience with the 467BF wrenches? I really like the 467 non-flex reversible ratcheting wrenches and had my eyes on a set of these for a flex option.

    Show us your *NEW* 2021+ Craftsman V Series tools and tool boxes!

    I didn’t see it in your new toolbox pics, and if it wasn’t originally on your list of V-series tools to acquire, I’d strongly recommend the reversible ratcheting wrench sets. CMMT87375V for the metric set. CMMT87350V for the SAE. They have a great feel, in my opinion. The ratchet mechanism is...

    I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the Vessel ultraball powergrip hex driver - had my eyes on those as well.
