The old mechanics at my dads shop had SK's when I was a kid and I always thought the looked great. So keeping that in mind I'm a little biased. That being said truth is that the sk 3770 with a little grease in the inside is smooth like butter and built like a tank. For me the sk3770 is my goto...

That is a score and a half

Order in # 100020307. Thanks HJE!

Thank you SK count me in :)

This guy... https://www.harryepstein.com/index.php/otter-bone-handle-tachenmesser.html Lost the first one to the TSA, the second one to the desert and the 3rd one is in my pocket right now. for some reason I really love this knife. It's sharp as all get out, and holds an edge and just has a...

This guy is my goto 3/8 ratchet. It's built like a tank and with a little lube I don't notice the tooth count. http://www.harryepstein.com/index.php/ratchets-3-8-drive-26871.html I've got several Dual 80's and they are super nice but for some reason old bent handle SK is my favorite.

For me I use both but I favor one brand over another for certain pliers... Knipex: Side cutters Cobras Pliers Wrench Snap on: Slip Joints needle nose Long reach pliers I love the talon grip snap on needle nose pliers and their slip joints they are absolutely the best. Knipex wins...

New bottom end in the CR250

I use the Wadsworth ratchet super deluxe... It's pretty nice and I've used it's been handy a couple of times: http://www.amazon.com/Wadsworth-Ratchet-Super-Deluxe-Tools/dp/B0000WTWZ2 Also I use the heck out of a good ol 1/4" ratchet with a 1/4" hex bit socket, that's usually my go to.

Hi all - This ratchet has been Sold! Hello I have a used in good condition SO tf936 for sale. I picked it up recently as part of a set of tools but I already have too many 1/4" drive ratchets so I don't need this one. Asking $40.00 shipped Thanks!

I own both the 1/2 and the 3/8 PI torque wrenches I they are great. The only downside and I would imagine this is the case for most torque wrenches is that they are fairly coarse toothed meaning that the swing-arc is pretty far. Not the end of the world but all in all I really like mine and...
