    Electrical Terminal Release Kit Recomendations

    I have the Snap On set with the instinct handles. I've bent and stabbed myself too many times with the cheap ones.

    Ratchet repair...or replace it. Raised Panel 1/2"

    Other than collecting, I see no reason to bother repairing old Craftsman stuff. Just call or email and get it warrantied, they don't even make you send back the new one so you can still hold onto it for "nostalgia".

    Introducing New Flarenut Crowfoot Sets & 12-point Nano Sockets

    Excellent! I'll be ordering a set of the 12 points next time I know I have an ISB turbo job coming, right now I'm up to my neck in Navistar rebuids. The crowsfeet are a nice surprise I wasn't expecting, I can finally replace my trash Indian Sunex set.

    Which Icon wrenches set to get?

    Dude always makes it sound like whatever is being worked on is going to catch on fire the moment anything from Harbor Freight touches it

    Comfortable flex head ratcheting wrench set recommendations please

    The Icon double box (mountain wrenches) are plenty comfortable, and I'm a 6'9" gorilla that leans on them plenty without them giving. If you want ratcheting combos, I like my Mac Precision Torques.

    New Vim 1/4 Comfort Grip ratchets

    VIM launched a new product that they didn't make at an absurd price? In other news, water is still wet.

    Nut Drivers (new or old) show them here

    Big Proto set that I got from a fellow member on here. I typically use the 8 and 10mm ones for doing valve work on HD diesels.

    Collecting tools?

    I don't really care if people collect tools, new or old. What annoys me is when people who clearly don't use their tools "review" them. Lastbesttool being one of them.

    I think one of my tool truck drivers has had it with non payers

    Maybe not, but even warrantying them once can make it worth it. Compared to paying to mail it back to have them MAYBE warranty it, which they probably won't.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I use them daily, they've replaced my Icons for regular use.

    1/2" Semi-Deep Impact Socket Set Options?

    I have the Genius set, grabbed them a few months ago for $50 for the set. I like them and have been using them over my normal Mac USA shallows/deeps

    Need some "greasy hand" testers for a plastic-free wiping project.

    HD Diesel mechanic here if you need a tester. Often doing cylinder heads, HP fuel pumps, HP oil pumps, etc. Side question, are these "lint free" by chance?

    Insanely bad customer service experience from Matco

    I'm gonna chock these up to a bad batch, I looked at my most common ones used today, and yes, they have wear, but not NEARLY the extent yours do (especially over so short of time). I'm FAR from gentle with them too, my 3/8s set on occasion get hit with the 2967 where I can't get my 1/2"s.

    First Experience with Vim Tools Ends in Dissappointment

    I was on the verge of buying a Crosstrek but caliper bolts and the CVTs were always big on my negatives. Dunno if I ended up doing better by buying a Countryman, though so far I love it. This thread just further convinces me that VIM just sells imported gimmicky junk. Hopefully they don't give...

    Insanely bad customer service experience from Matco

    Blows my mind that they're wearing like that, I feel bad for recommending them. Mine have some wear but not that bad.
