To me, what you just described is a Hazet Assistent. https://www.jensputzier.com/hazet-assistent-166n-tool-trolley They collapse when not in use, and extend to give you access to them when in use. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have a few random sockets from Klutch and a set of stubby wrenches and wobble extensions from there. One of the nice things to me about Northern is the ability to buy singles to replace lost tools or pick up oddball sizes. The tools that I have bought from them are decent quality, but not...

That looks really great. I really like the clean, organized look that you get with the foam. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

If you have had a chance to try a cordless and you like it, it may be worth considering anyway. Time is money in this business. If a cordless can save you time over a pneumatic, it can make you money. As with all electronics these days, they have a finite lifespan, but if you can use it for...

I have the 3 ton steel jack that you linked in your first post, have had it for about a year now. So far, so good, it has done everything I have needed it for without issue right out of the box. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

My Sawzall really came through in a pinch today. My neighbor and I were doing ball joints on his car today. The left side would not seperate from the lower control arm no matter how much being beaten with a pickle fork, soaked in penetrating oil, or being sworn at we employed. We ended up...

Cool story and toolbox O.P. My dad still has some of my grandfather's tools, but what is left is more odds and ends than anything. As for those snap on wrenches, what if you tried something like a Mother's PowerBall ? They are made to polish chrome wheels, I would venture that they would...

I am never more than a couple feet away from this one. It is a Kershaw 1820, aka Needs Work. It is a type of Wharnecliff blade, which I really like. The straight blade is very easy to sharpen. I have had this one for about 3 1/2 years, and I had one just like it but with black handles before...

Matching sets of tools may be your best bet. Alternatively, you could sell one of the houses, and invest the proceeds... in tools.

Just curious op, how many miles are on the car? Your warranty is probably 3yr/36k, it may be covered. 3 years is awfully short for a tpms sensor, the batteries are normally supposed to be good for about 10 years. Sorry I can't be more helpful on a tpms tool, the bartec 400sd is the one I am...

The "Anti Slip Design" has nothing to do with the handle. If you Google the patent number on them (5381710) it refers to a specific patent for the open end of the wrench to enhance its grip. Apparently it is somewhat dependent on size though. The ones that I have use a standard open end design...

I found a 14mm craftsman raised panel wrench in the shoulder of the road raking leaves in front of my place. I saw a pretty nice hammer one day when I was out on the bike, but didn't have anything to put it in to get it home.

If you are a professional, you owe it to yourself to spend the extra money and get the Hoffman. Accept no substitutes.

Based on your want for an upgrade, maybe you should buy a cordless ratchet. Not only does it look futuristic, it can turn itself when you squeeze the handle.

Sorry, but I just have to point out the irony of this argument. You can't very well criticize people who buy from HF of not supporting the American Worker, when the alternative that you suggest to buying cheap tools is to buy used Snap on. The first person to buy the Snap on tool can say he...
