    Long term every day shop experience with Olsa tools and Tekton 1/2” split beam torque wrenches?

    I use/own the most current version of the Tekton fairly regularly both at home and at work. It has held up very well! I much prefer its grip and finish to the shop's ICON, but they both perform admirably. The "set & forget" is awesome, and I'm never tempted to use it as a breaker bar. I will be...

    I know this wasn't directed at me, but I can say it's worth grabbing. It took me a second to figure out the jigsaw blades, but it works on both T & U shanks.

    “Best and Worst” Tool Brand Video

    Any thumbnail with some idiot making a stupid face superimposed onto anything gets an immediate "don't recommend channel" click. I ain't got time for that.

    Would rock a Kincrome or similar kit if it was easier to get stateside.

    Which toyota adapter for this brake bleeder?

    The Speedi-Bleed looks pretty slick, and I think I may pull the trigger on one. One minor question: Do these styles of bleeder end up overfilling the reservoir? Easy enough to hit it with a turkey-baster, but it does add a step.

    Ikon ratchets lack QR feature

    Eh. If the QR was the weak point smashing on a stuck bolt, the wrong tool was used.

    The uses and usefulness of different wrench types

    As someone's only set? Absolutely. I kinda wish they could disconnect at the middle to act like regular length when needed. I made it the first 50 years without 'em - pretty sure I could make the next, but they are fun to have around. I recently added Icon's long pattern grippy...

    budget 3/8" torque wrench

    No beam, or no split beam? Icon's 3/8" 20-100 ft. lb. split beam is $99.99 and there's always a coupon or sale around the corner.

    This one is a bit of a banger. We have one at work (and mine in a ToolCheck) that I lean on pretty decent. States 65Nm, but if you wanna act like a YouTuber turd and treat it like a breaker bar, yea - it will get bad reviews. :LOL: I know it's kinda spendy, so if you are going this route, I'd...
