True (not) or urban legend (definitely), but this thread is reminding me of the joke/anecdote of NASA spending millions on a pen that worked in space while the Russians brought a pencil.

My Poulan saw needs a new bar, new chain and new chain brake... Don't think it's worth putting over $110 in parts into this piece of junk. Really wishing I had seen those reconditioned Husqies before they went out of stock Been searching around a bit, but not much luck. Any other deals out...

Like the stationary brand? I'll do some digging, see if any of our suppliers carry them

Need to restock paint pens/markers at work. These are the ones we usually get, Genpack "The Pumper" https://www.grainger.ca/en/product/PERMANENT-MARKER-YELLOW-PIGMENT/p/GPK04010013 They kinda ****. They're not great on wet/oily surfaces although they advertise that they do work. More...

I have the 3/8 stubby Astros paired with the 3/8 stubby M12 and it's a nice combo. Don't see the point of going with the 1/2 stubby. They won't go over the nut end usually because they're so shallow

You're a bad influence

Interested to hear how they feel when they arrive. For work I can justify knipex but for home something cheaper will do

Look up some of THE video reviews of the GW Guy at work as the 1/2" and the beeping is infuriating.

Channellock brand 10-30% off CT Bessey clamps 5-35% off Fed Tool https://federatedtool.com/sales-clearance/

Gedore maybe

The DeWalt has a way better wall racking system than anything the packout offers https://www.dewalt.ca/product/dwst08260/toughsystem-workshop-racking-system Although I read the 2.0 parts organiser doesn't work with it which is kind of dumb.

If I ever need a 61mm and nothing else will do, I'm going home

It's hard to know until you need it and don't have it . We've all pulled off an m10 with a 16mm and put a generic replacement in that needed a 17mm. I've seen Parker and Gates hoses need different size wrenches so who's to say that what is ok to skip. If I can take it off with a 46 that I...

They arrived this week. Finish is fine. They're not as nice quality as my every day wrenches but the price was right. I've never seen a 2"/50mm wrench spread anyway - regardless of brand/quality/finish. I don't know how he thought 7 pieces would cover that range without skips... Only thing I...

I have the 3/8 in my hand and I don't think a flex head would work without doing some calculations for the extra length added
