Again just a matter of opinion...im entitled to my opinion just like anyone else and yes I use and buy plenty of tools...but somehow you know that I don't. As far as suggestions,ive given plenty already just no one wants to see them.I'm merely giving my view of the shopping experience compared...

This is a matter of opinion,its quite ridiculous to base a shopping experience on things like "my items arrived sparkling new" or "they answered my emails within hours"(shouldnt have to email at all).These things are not above and beyond the call of duty for any vendor.Now price ya that makes...

Whats the advantage of the huge,totally unwieldy plastic gedore ratchet??much rather have the bahco then that plastic pos.

The thickness on that washer is pretty critical too thick and it will cause the bolting to lock the tensioner in place,too thin and it will allow it to wobble with the bolting tight.That washer and bolt is the pivot for the spring loaded tensioner.Don't cut corners here get the right part.

Im not "pulling" anything,I went to the site a year ago and found it lacking...was told give it some time,it's been a year.Sight looks nearly the same.Only a couplr of brands have a few items listed,the others you have to d/l ponderous .pdf files(bgs one is corrupt and wont open on 2...

I wouldnt mind ordering some stuff but...there is just nothing on the website besides a handful of pliers,and some broken .pdf catalogs that wont even open.Honestly is this ever going to be a serious venture?

In my opinion HF is good for throw away screwdrivers,ratchets,hammers etc.NOT life and death stuff like jack stands,cargo straps,jacks etc.Im not going to risk my life or possibility of someone else getting hurt for some chi com piece of ****.

Sounds like alot of work "reforming" a ¢39 pipe plug,probably would have been better off trashing it and getting a plug with an internal or external hex.

Can you double.nut a couple of standard thin jam nuts under the head and tighten/loosen via those instead of the hardened.head?

I have the combination set 1017 ...one of my best investments,pulled me out of the fire a few times.

What about a ratcheting style line wrench such as

this is not a screw... and a screwdriver is not a prybar.If you misuse a tool dont complain if it breaks on you it's your own fault.Now if you want a good screwdriver to drive screws and not use as chisels and prybars,my vote is either PB swiss or Nepros.

Well I jusf received my 40pc bovidix tap and die set and these are my preliminary findings.. Love the metal case with sturdy hinge and clasps Cant speak for how these things cut yet but for the most part all the tools seem finished no flash on the tap flutes etc,that you might see from a china...

It removes the scratches...because the aluminum is softer than the chrome surface very fine particles of aluminum oxide are produced that act as a polishing compound, adding a little water helps as well.Ive used this trick for years to remove rust,road tar and generally revitalize chrome bumpers...
