    Wera 838 RA-L ratcheting screwdriver

    The Wera stainless bits are awesome! I have this set and purchased the other stainless bits not in the set. I generally do not like the Wera screwdriver handle shape, except for this particular size that's included in the kit. For some reason I like it. But every other size of Wera handles...

    Koken Z-Series Semi-Deep Metric Socket Comparison

    I bought a Nepros set of mids one time, and the play of those sockets with Nepros ratchets was simply too much so I got rid of them. The detent shape of the Z helps reduce play on any ratchet you use. I would describe the polished barrel on the Z is more like a polished machined surface rather...

    Question: Wiha 75965 65 Piece System 4 ESD Safe Master Technician Ratchet and MicroBits Set

    I have the non ESD version of the Wiha 75965 set. The ratchet is heavier than expected. But feels nice. I don't use it much, and it sat for almost a year before I got around to using it. Half a dozen of the bits were rusted beyond what I deem as acceptable. I wrote to Wiha and they agreed...

    Dewalt gyroscopic screwdriver

    About a year ago I had to move my dad into an assisted living place. I had to clear out his garage and brought about half of his stuff down to my house. I was getting rid of all his power tools that I didn't need and came across the gyro screwdriver. It was selling for about $300+ on ebay and...

    The Facom Tools Thread.

    I have the RL.171 in 1/4" and I love the handle on it. The only reason it's not a favorite of mine is the heavy back drag :( Is the back drag on the R.161B 1/4" less? The head is much larger. I have the R.161B in 3/8" and its back drag is good.

    Best Hex / Torx sockets?

    PB Swiss doesn't have any old stock left around they are willing to sell. I'm missing 1 size out of my long 1/4" hex socket bits and they simply had none left back in Switzerland. The Nepros, Ko-Ken and Hazet would be your 3 top choices.

    Digital tire inflator?

    Money no object, use what the pro's use. My preference for teams is this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rns-s0002 There is a newer less expensive model: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rns-s0004 But many teams also use this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/icp-360049

    Tools of Japan

    That's aircraft spec socket. I believe... the aerospace spec is a looser tolerance on their sockets because it needs to grip painted fasteners. ?

    Howdy from DRPD!

    Will you be stocking their full lineup of slotted drivers? I can only find the 200mm and super long ones on your website. I looked again and can't find the shorter lengths which I am mostly interested in. I found some on the official PB Swiss website but did not see them available stateside...
