During a search for a stubby and affordable version of my beloved red racing series snap on, I bought the kobalt about 5 years ago. In the store it seamed perfect, comfortable, short shank, and an extension right in the handle. But every time I tried to use it the screw cap would come lose...

That's what I thought as well. Sent from my LG-LS720 using Tapatalk

Will do, thanks.

Great timing on this thread. I asked for portable box for Christmas. I've searched all over this forum looking for organization ideas. Perhaps someone could start a "show us your portable toolbox" thread for all the rally and cantilever tool boxes. Would be great to see pics of these...

I can get 90% of any holes I need drilled around the house with my bosch 12 volt pocket driver and an assortment of these. I keep them both in a tool kit inside the house for honey do projects. Most of the other 10% usually requires me to break out the Hilti which has its own goofy bits. My...

When I got mine last month, all of the open stock looked like the old (Taiwan) style but at least some of the the kits said China. I didn't look too close though.

I had but almost never grabbed my nutdrivers. For around the house, i keep in by gp kit a cheap 6n1 screwdriver,a snap on rat screwdriver, a bosch pocket driver,and a small zippered case containing an assortment of sae and metric nutsetters, sae and metric hex, small torx, and driver bits...

After reading reviews on this forum, i picked a Taiwan 3/8 flex head with reward points. Used it to change the pita plugs on my ford freestar. Not a real test but real enough for what i'll use it for. Best free purchase I've ever made. I'd rather have a comfort grip handle but can't...

I have an Oxo. http://www.oxo.com/p-719-stainless-steel-liquiseal-travel-mug.aspx I got my first one as a gift. I used it for a couple years before I ran it over. Tried several other cheap ones. Disapointed, I dropped $20 and got another. Been happy every since. Many years ago, I got a...

What about using an inspection camera inside a pass through ratchet?

Never buy anything at Menards with cash. You can look up and reprint the receipt at the kiosk any transaction you made with CC/debit or check. I have never had an issue returning anything but I never had to warranty any of their tools. OP, buy with confidence. If you have a issue, swap it...

You can buy Proto tools at Wal-Mart.com with free ship to store. That doesn't mean that Proto will be moving production overseas or anything else. Wal-Mart sells products that it thinks people will buy and give the most shelf space to what they think most people will buy. CL is a household...

I forgot to add that to my list. I started carring one about a year ago and its amazing how many times I use it throughout the day. All the older guys I looked up to as a kid carried one, so after I saw an article on why men should have one, I said why not. Not for the nose, mostly use it to...

re 5.11 pants, As a cop I wore my fair share of them both on and off duty. They are not bomb proof but they are solid, comfortable pants. They used to be a great value at about $30 but when ey started being sold at sporting good stores they have went up quite a bit. I saw a pair for 60 at...

Perhaps thats because thier an industrial brand. My father-in-law was a factory mechanic for over 30 years till the glass plant closed. He has /32s up to at least an inch. He told me that most of the equipment was pre-WW2 and fastners were in all sorts of sizes. To the OP, I also hate...
