As nut drivers, which I use very often to work on the lawnmover and to tighten hose clamps and remove hex screws on car bodywork i use the Wiha nut drivers. They have a very good grip and using it in reverse grip mode allows for quite a high torque to be applied. The only drawback is when...

Well, i searched the forum for any mention of Swisstool and nothing came up, so considered it an almost unknown brand at least in the US. Santoprene or whatever it is called is soft and cushioned and is what I like to work with. My primary concern is the flat tip which saves a lot of classic car...

I have gone through many screwdrivers in my lifetime (72 now), and always remembered in my first job as a photographic lab technician the screwdrivers the Swiss technicians used to install and service some very fine and advanced photographic automatic printers made by Gretag. I liked their...

Have been a long time user of this forum. Have downloaded the android app as i more and more use my mobile for almost everything. So great to be here again. I live in Mallorca, Spain and am a great fan of Snap-On tools, of which i have a SO cart full of them. Lately using a lot of Makita...

The flat attack surface to the screw slot just permits more torque to be applied without the srewdriver beeing driven out of the slot by other designs where the screwdriver has a conical tip. No damaging screw heads possible with them. If you...

Not much used old Bedford Sheffield socket set. 1/2" not very practical, prefer 3/8", so probably will be selling this.

Wow, Wow, Wow, ...................Wow !!!!!!!!!!!! Now that is a well stocked tool store. I could get lost there and spent several days going through it all.. If I where with my wife there I´d to tell her: pick me up here again in about a week. Thanks for posting all thos photos, they are...

These ITMA tools were my first ones I bought in 1967 to fix my NSU Prinz TT Car. There is Stahlwille ratchet, a Belzer handle and Dowidat 3/8" to 1/2" adapter. Also some ITMA wrenches from 1967...

this same tool is manufactured (or imported) by Franklin, Sheffield, UK. I bought one because I needed to remove rusted exhaust header to manifold studs. No way of getting heat there, as in many applications. Forget the torch in a car. Fuel and electrics are a NoNo when using torches. I use...
