    Need to install rivnuts in aluminum diamond plate, exterior vehicle use exposed to midwest road salt and de-icing solution. What's the preferred rivnut material to prevent galvanic corrosion between the rivnut and the aluminum plate? Would zinc coated steel work, or should I stick with aluminum...

    CM Industrial Large Wrenches are Back!

    The cash flow theory regarding the continued in-stock status makes more and more sense. my personal experience was a few online inquiries, followed by a expected ship date of 1/2, followed promptly by a cancellation, and then a five day wait for a CC refund.

    Need thin crowfoot wrenches

    well, i'm at 6.25mm thickness on the Proto 3/8" drive, so that has the SO beat. I would only shy away from grinding down a cheap crowfoot due to slop in fit (it is for final torque on thin wall aluminum components).

    Need thin crowfoot wrenches

    I'm in need of thin crowfoot wrenches, in specific, 21mm and 25mm. I have in hand a 3/8" drive 20mm Proto (matte finish/USMC surplus) that measures 1/4" thickness on the working end (3/8" drive is thicker). Any other commonly sourced brands thinner? Also, how does a 1/2" drive Proto crowfoot...

    Hex bits falling out of sockets (SK)

    My 6mm hex sk fell out while tempting removal of a bike pedal. Sent it in to sk, got a brand new one free of charge, minus my shipping. Next attempt at pedal removal, bit falls out. No reefing, no cheater, correct direction of rotation, etc. Piss poor press fit.

    wera bits fail

    one bad thing with wera's warranty vs wiha is the fact that wera bits need to be shipped to canada; no USA option. adds to the user cost for warranty evaluation.
