    Knipex bolt cutters

    I have both. Blade with the notch easier to use sometimes.

    Is Ford rejecting new oil formulations for use in powerstroke engines?

    Note that Rotella T6 5w40 CK-4 also is NOT on Ford's approved list for powerstrokes. Seems like Shell significantly reduced the phosphorous anti-wear content in T6 when they reformulated the T6 for CK-4.

    Vintage S-K Tools

    Have an old SK 1/2 drive set I use regularly (see pix). The patent number on the ratchet was filed in 1939 and issued in 1941, so I'm guessing the set is from the 1940s. Anyone have an idea on the date for this set?
