    Pin fitment gages

    Watched that vid. too. I could see the value in diagnostics. But it's just an issue that's not going to come up on sealed -pack connectors much. Even on that salted, crusty vehicle. Also, on a connector to connector situation, there may be an opposing terminal that can be unloaded and test fit...

    Tools that actually look nice and have some form of aesthetic

    I have a sense of "that's what a tool should look like" on a few things. I think the representative tool I'll post will be of a very similar sander to one I used in my youth. It just struck me as powerful, far from the namby palm sanders, and productive. Definitely a Rockwell (no P-C naming on...

    Jet tools color match.

    $45 for 6 cans? Can the qty you don't need be other colors for use after? I was out of touch on spray can prices until a visit to big box store blue within the last year. I thought we were $10 and up, retail.

    Made in USA extensions. Jawco

    That's sad. Were they the ones actually making all the thread clean up dies and taps?

    Nut selection for carburetor repair

    The design defeats use of a retaining ring to hold the cover, or a longer nut design on one corner. If the depth were more restricted, a slotted allen stud with a taper set screw to lock the nut in place could do what's needed.

    Tools of Japan

    The finish on the wobble anvil seems micro peened vs. just machined. Really nice looking tools.

    CAT Round Head Ratchet

    Pear heads are weaker, hence the need for the mega warranty.

    Sawzall Choice?

    Stroke length, whether the blade goes in an arc or just reciprocates,, battery AH/life, vibration are easy factors to help decide. Oh, and maybe weight but a 2 handed tool shouldn't be bad either way.

    Tool for gripping T40 “cam’d - out” Button Head 6MM Steel Bolt in Aluminum

    I like those, but IME, you gotta go undersize, be able to hammer it on, and they prevent working it back and forth. If there is clearance, they do grip!

    Tool for gripping T40 “cam’d - out” Button Head 6MM Steel Bolt in Aluminum

    Does that hole line up with a pan bolt directly? If so, can the bolt end (bottom) be slotted? If so, can you line an impact screwdriver to clockwise the bolt from below?

    Tekton tin snips

    Maybe buy a new Witte, a clearance Tekton if they still have them, and stop by the Snap On truck and have them do it for you. "I really like" doesn't always mean sales.

    The Bosch addiction thread

    At least someone's nephew that went to business school has something to put on his resume. I can see there being improvements, but it will be a while before I see it in tools I use. I see $600 on Acme for an Expert grinder. What other brands market in that range?
