For tires I go to Les Schwab tire centers up here in the pacific northwest ever since I've owned my own vehicles and always watch the guys doing the work. They always use torque wrenches, I guess I'm lucky. Of course I rotate my own tires even though they offer it for free, but only because...

The PI is so nice, I love it so far. Not sure the manufacture date of the KD but I'll double check. I did order it as new last week from Tool Topia.

Got my order in from Tool Topia today. Great service and free shipping on orders over $99. I bought a Precision Instruments 40-250 ft. lbs and a KD 0-600 in. lbs. torque wrench. Both made in the U.S.A. I've been wanting the PI for a long time based on reviews here. I had used an old...

Cool!!!

The OHT has blades on the outside. I am interested in both these...but my only gripe about one handed opening pliers like the Gerber Diesel was if you were using lots of force and the jaws slipped it would pinch the **** out of my fingers/hand since it closes completely, unlike Leatherman's...

Don't forget to check out Sunex too.

Gotcha, I was hoping that Benchmade hadn't been corrupted like Gerber, Kershaw and others. It's sad really Gerber, CRKT, Kershaw and Leatherman are all in Oregon yet most of the stuff they sell in big stores is lesser quality than the stuff that made them famous. I am a fan of Benchmade and...

Are you saying that Benchmade has a line of knives for sale at Walmart now?

I have been carrying a Fenix or Quark pocket light everyday for the last few years. Before that the only flashlights I used were Maglite, and although great they lack many things that give these newer LED's the edge. I didn't realize how much flashlight technology had changed, even in the last...

Haha....That's the first thing I thought too. Gas is like gold.

I've got the ones Harbor Freight sells. They work well, but for some reason on the 1/4" dr. rails I have had the retaining ball and springs pop out after little use. I just have extra clips so I replace them as needed, but it is a pain sometimes. The 3/8" and 1/2" have been fine even with...

That was pretty good, haha. Wish everything was as simple as that!!!

That's funny because most if not all the 3/4" dr. sets I've seen have been 12pt.

Cripe Distributing has the SAE set for 60 and I believe they have the Large SAE set also. Last night on their ebay site I saw an sae set of 12pt. long pattern combo wrenches 1/4-1" for 68.

I've got a set of CM RP combination 12pt. wrenches and while they have worked for me since forever, I find myself wanting the "professional" sets only because they are longer. I can't tell you how many times I've had to double them up to get more torque or because they were just too short. I...
