Yea I know, I’m a proto fan boy. Use their made in USA tools almost exclusively as a multi craft industrial maintenance tech. just noticed that it seems, on zoro atleast, the tools they’re advertising with the new fancy styling have coo’s of Taiwan, and the old style plain ones have coo’s of...

The catalog, last I looked, it’s updated as far as their boxes and stuff goes. Im pretty sure they axed the 540 boxes and now have a line up with a name, for some reason I’m wanting to say the velocity series? Maybe, idk. but hollleee **** their website is the absolute worst. And good luck...

Was just looking at some stuff on zoro and noticed a trend with proto products. Looks like their tools with the more ”modern” looking font are manufactured in Taiwan and their tools with the more classic looking font are the ones made in the USA. Can anyone confirm? I really liked the look of...

thanks guys

Looking to buy a 3/8 drive metric hex bit socket set and thought this would be a good opportunity to pop my nepros cherry

Like the title states. Either a 10” or 12”, in good shape

If you’re in the market for a 90 tooth ratchet and are in the price range of the lp90, buy the proto 90t, it’s a much better built ratchet. I made a thread a couple of years ago with pictured of both opened up side by side

My little ms170. It does what I need it to around the house. I did the muffler mod, 018 adjustable carb, 14” sugihara bar and raisman half chisel chain.

I tried to slip an orange bench vise past my boss at work when turNing in a tooling order list, it got sent back to me

Is the op still around? I’d be curious where my 90t proto and 90t sk fall as they’re opposite ends of the spectrum compared to each other, where can I get more info on the titanium ratchet? that would be the ultimate one up with the shop, and I’m just that kind of guy

knipex. Hands down. All day, every day. They’re not even in the same league in my opinion

Does the sweatband irritate your skin? Mine does, it seems to let grinding dust and stuff cling to it a lot more than the one on my Miller I use at work. I keep meaning to drop the head gear off at the Amish folks Down the road that do leather work to get them to make me a leather one

My trusty old knipex 00 11 03 finally wore through and broke after about 8 years of being carried. I was eyeing the pb Swiss just to try something different although the 4 position knipex was all I really ever needed. Just seeing what everyone else likes. Fwiw, this will be carried on a...

This is what i came here to say. I absolutely love all my Proto tools. The 90t ratchets 🤤
