    Less expensive alternative to Snap On midget wrenches?

    I'm thinking that I'm going to complete my MAC sets down to 1/4" and 6mm (the smallest combo wrenches MAC offers). Then, I will buy the Snap Ons only in the tiny sizes. I'm not exactly sure why I want them, but I do. :headscrat I've gone my whole life without a 1/8" combo wrench.

    Less expensive alternative to Snap On midget wrenches?

    I have really been lusting after these two Snap On sets, OXI709SBK and OXIM707SBK. I would like to have a high quality set of combination wrenches in my precision tools toolbox. But, these are darn expensive! Can anyone suggest an alternative? Maybe Armstrong 25-602 and 52-601? Thanks for...

    26" top chest? KRA4059, Kennedy 360, or other?

    I ended up going with a Kennedy 52611 machinist chest, and a Kennedy MC-28 2 drawer riser. Should last a few years.

    26" top chest? KRA4059, Kennedy 360, or other?

    I'm going to keep a lookout for one of those. The drawer layout is what I like, just a little bigger. I'm also liking the Kennedy's that kinda bridge the gap from a macinist chest to a mechanics top chest. I guess no one likes the little guys, but I don't have much room in the basement shop.

    Damn you Sears/C'man-now teh chrome xtensions are Asian

    We have a basic conflict in our society. The fact is, most consumers want goods for nothing, yet they aren't willing to work for nothing to make them. People will buy the stuff from places where people work cheap. Even China will reach a point like this sooner or later, and all our stuff will...

    Mac 1/4" ratchet (mrr6fpa) assembly question.

    I recently took apart my MAC torque wrench that has that mechanism. Took awhile to get it back together.

    Damn you Sears/C'man-now teh chrome xtensions are Asian

    I sorted thru the 1/4" drive extensions at my local Sears to find USA made ones and found the import ones to be nicer. The chrome was pitting on the USA ones, and the lettering was all messed up. So, I bought a set of new SK extensions instead, and they looked like a kid knurled them with a...

    26" top chest? KRA4059, Kennedy 360, or other?

    Anyone have any thoughts on the KRA2055 or KRA4059? I have a 1970s MAC 33" top chest and roller in the garage, but I have been using a no name wooden 9 drawer machinist chest in the basement workshop. It holds my precision tools. Now it is starting to fail. I would like something of similar...

    I am so pleased with the ratcheting Snap Ons that I got, I may not need non ratcheting ones. These Snap On ratcheting drivers are great!

    Non ratcheting bit holder screwdriver?

    Thanks for the help! Wiha has a good selection, including a stubby. Wera has a couple that look nice too in the ESD safe line.

    Non ratcheting bit holder screwdriver?

    If all goes well, tonight I will have regular and stubby Snap On ratcheting screwdrivers with all the various shanks and blades. I have been wanting these for weeks, but had a hard time meeting up with a Snap On truck. But, I'm wondering if i might not want a couple non ratcheting bit holders...
