    SK customer service is no good

    Dec 2020 so COVID timeframe. Broke a 3/8 drive 19mm socket on a Sunday trying to get into a tight spot for a steering rack replacement. Sent an email/picture to the address on their website. Got a reply on Wednesday asking for a part number and shipping address. Replied with info and they...

    socket rails

    I also went with the Olsa rails when I got sick of the plastic red cases my Sunex impact sockets came in. They live in the bottom of a travel box so I loaded the top and bottom of each rail.

    Karcher electric pressure washer opinions.

    I am pretty happy with my AR Blue electric from 6 years ago. Little stuff around the house it is convenient enough I’ll actually use it. Not the right tool for big jobs, but the rental place is right down the street for the once every two years I need something like that.

    Where do you buy small batteries for remotes etc? Coin cells and...

    eBay. My use right now is mostly kids toys that are push to activate some annoying sound or get left on and run dead. The 25 for $5 shipped price is perfect for that.

    How do I get a wood baseball bat out of a cleanout?

    Fishing lure with treble hooks and heavy leader if it isn’t jammed in there too tight Long length of fishing line/rope/wire/whatever pushed as a loop through a length of conduit or <1” pipe with enough to pull it from the back to make it tight around the end of the bat.

    Husky Tools! What Happened?

    I have one of the USA husky sets from around 99-2000ish and it got a lot of use on my vehicles. Most of it that I haven’t lost is still in use and it decent shape. Ratchets that got traded in kept getting worse over the years so now they are back ups.

    I need a beam style 1/4 in/lb Torque Wrench with CASE

    Picked mine up for preload also while doing a re-gear/locker. I’ve used it a handful of times since then. Only other thing I really remember using it for was changing out a fork in a mountain bike. If you are feeling on top of your origami game you could fold up an old Amazon box or whatever...

    I need a beam style 1/4 in/lb Torque Wrench with CASE

    Cardboard box work? I picked one up from Napa a few years ago and the box has worked for my storage needs.

    Comfortable shop shoes?

    Whatever shoe you already have/like. Just rip out the insole and toss in some Sole brand insoles. I did that with a few different styles of shoes and was worth it in every case.

    Cr-v VS. Cr-mo : Comparing the two for a Harry Homeowner.

    Unless you are getting that Tekton set for under $20, there is a pretty complete Sunex collection for around $190. Buy the SAE kit, they throw in the metric. CPO outlet
