    HF Heavy-Duty Ratchet Changees

    Sorry if this was mentioned already, but I searched and didn't see anything. A couple years back, based on some reviews here, I bought one of the ½” heavy-duty HF ratchets. I was in HF the other day, and was going to pick up the 3/8” one, to keep it in the truck. I looked at them, and they...

    Kobalt 72 tooth 3/8 drive ratchet

    Is this ratchet the same as the HF composite without the plastic covering? They look pretty similar and both 72 tooth. http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-inch-heavy-duty-composite-ratchet-66313.html

    double open ended wrenchs worth keeping?

    That's funny, i'm in the same boat. My parents bought me a set when I was 15. I think I have used them twice in 20 years. I always reach for a combo instead.

    What is your go-to ratchet?

    I have the same ratchet that I inherited from my father-in-law, and it is really a great ratchet. I feel like I am making the man proud every time I fix something with it.

    !#$% snap ring pliers - need recommendations

    I had the HF ones too, and hated them. I replaced them with some Channellock ones, and have been very happy with them. http://www.amazon.com/Channellock-927-8-Inch-Retaining-Plier/dp/B000TG80SY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359427305&sr=8-1&keywords=channellock+snap+ring+pliers

    Gearwrench XP120 vs 84T

    Hey everyone, I have some Amazon gift cards burning a hole in my pocket, and was thinking about getting some decent ratchets. I'm just a weekend wrencher, so I don't want to spend a ton of money on them. I've been looking into some of the 84T Gearwrench ratchets, and thought those were...

    VW Poster?

    You may want to check with some of the vintage VW parts houses, like WolfsburgWest or Westcoastmetric, sometimes you can buy old VW ad posters from them.

    Favorite cheap-O tool.

    I like my cheap pocket multi-tool with flashlight. I think it was under $5 and they sell them everywhere. It is a little smaller than my Leatherman Juice, and the flashlight has come in handy more than a few times.

    Craftsman reciprocating saws any good?

    I'm looking for a corded recip saw. I will be using it to cut scrap lumber and some scrap metal. I'll probably only need it about once a month. Is this Craftsman a decent saw for the price? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917183000P Thanks in advance.

    Snap-on warranty question

    I wasn't bitching about anything. My first post was just asking how the warranty worked. Like I said earlier, I had no idea how old this ratchet was, until I posted on here.
