    replacing the comfort grip handle on carlyle ratchets

    Interesting, TY for all the info posted so far. Hopefully someone who has tried putting a snapon handle on a carlyle ratchet will chime in. I think that would be a pretty nice solution I think i might try and see if a matco handle will fit. I've always thought their comfort grips look real...

    replacing the comfort grip handle on carlyle ratchets

    Can it be done? Are replacements available? And if so, is it covered by the lifetime warranty? I guess I should just call napa and ask. But I feel like being lazy and asking the internet instead. Plus they're closed right now. Does anyone know these answers? I've looked online for...

    Larger cans of r-134a?

    First of all, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question ..wasnt sure where else to post it. Is there anywhere to buy cans of r-134a that are larger than 12 oz? Other than the huge tanks, of course. I can only find the 12 Oz cans. My car takes just over 2lbs and I know thats pretty...

    Pleasant surprise @ Tractor Supply.

    There are actually a few in AZ. I believe one is in fountain hills. They are relatively new here, I've lived here all my life and as far as I know they only showed up within the last year or two.

    New knipex ear clamp pliers 10 99 i220. Is this a defect, or is this normal?

    The top jaws close all the way, but the side jaws still have a gap when closed. I know it probably won't really matter for how these are used, because they aren't cutters, and they don't really need to shut all the way to tighten an ear clamp. But I've also seen people using them to cut off the...

    I picked up some more koken extensions on black friday and I notice there are some inconsistencies in the finish and the thickness of the shafts, in comparison to other extensions I own, I wonder if anyone knows the reasoning behind this and can exlpain? For example, this is a 4763-150...

    Howdy from DRPD!

    I ordered on Friday, from both DRPD and from KokenUSA. I received my order from DRPD on Monday. I still haven't even received a shipping notice from KokenUSA. Frankly I think Palmac and KokenUSA (as distributors, completely separate from Koken manufacturing) **** big time, imo. although I guess...

    In that case, you would probably enjoy the features of the Z-series more than most of us. The lack of slop is a feature of the Z-series. Their normal sockets have the same amount of slop on the drive end as snap-on and other sockets

    Howdy from DRPD!

    lol, I feel pretty stupid even talking about stickers like this haha. I normally wouldn't care about stickers at all. But people here have made me want some from koken. glad you include them. can't be more happy about the shipping speed. I ordered from kokenusa within an hour of ordering from...

    Milwaukee M12 1/4" Drivers for socket use?

    I just used mine last night to remove all the 10mm transmission pan bolts from 2 transmissions. IDK what they're torqued to, but that thing has plenty of power on setting 3. But then you can tighten small bolts setting 1 and it only makes them finger tight. It's great. I've never used an...

    Howdy from DRPD!

    looks like you posted 2 codes here. tools22, and gjtools22. I'm guessing the latter was created to try and track the amount of sales brought in from this site? I used the first one when I ordered yesterday but I only know of you because of this site, specifically the tools of japan thread...

    lol, are you serious? I just went there and applied that coupon to my cart just to check because I couldn't tell if you were serious or not. The code actually worked, but it didn't apply any discount. Do you know when the sale ends? It doesn't specify, so I assumed it was only for 1 day, but...

    That picture shows the 1/4" set going down to a 3mm, and also including a 3.5mm. Does Ko-ken actually make those sizes? I've never seen sockets in those sizes and can't imagine what use they would be for... I looked up the set on uktools and the photo they have shows sizes 4-14mm, your photo...
