Yeah, that's really debatable. And yes, seen plenty of his videos.

You can always just use them for the pressure only and not for refill. Have to keep an eye on the reservoir level, obviously, and it does add an extra step when you have to add more fluid to continue bleeding. Not as big of an issue when the hoses are new, but it does introduce the possibility...

Vacuum bleeding can introduce air into the system. Also, it is sometimes difficult to get all air out unless you finish by old-fashioned bleeding or pressure bleeding. Pressure bleeding is much better in my experience. Nothing difficult about it.

Excellent tool, works great, no leaking.

The made in USA screwdrivers are ok, but they are priced a bit high.

Same person, different username

The Hazet 90 ratchets tend to have a good bit of back drag, which is not ideal in 1/4” drive. The 20-tooth 863P has very little back drag if you are ok with the low tooth count. Might go for the Koken 1/4 72-tooth ratchet instead.

Used, thank you

I like Zoro, but there are some vendors that do pretty well with Williams pricing. Seems like Suncoast Precision Tools was one of them, and you don’t have to deal with coupon codes.

No, SK has no hand tool manufacturing in the US. Any USA tools are made by another company for SK.

Seems like the correct idea to me. I don’t see a compelling reason to buy any new SK tools.

The USA made sockets are supposedly made by Wright. SK doesn't manufacture anything in the USA.

I purchased a set from Zoro in recent months, and the stamping is the older design. I have not seen any 12 point with that newer stamping, so that may be exclusive to the 6 point wrenches.

Yes, that info is in the Proto catalog. 9mm and smaller, 36mm and larger, 11/32" and smaller, 1-5/16" and larger do not have ASD feature. Maybe a better way to word it is only 10mm-35mm and 3/8" to 1-1/4" have ASD feature.

The French S.154 is 72 tooth, at least the one I have. How many teeth to the new Taiwan produced tool?
