In a desperate attempt to gain subscribers (and in honor of my 420th post), I'm giving away this brand new Snap On TM9G 1/4" breaker bar in the longer 9-inch length. Must be a subscriber, like and comment. One lucky winner will be announced on Valentime's Day. Snap On GIVEAWAY! (and...

It's been a long time, but back in my youth I used to love those things. I had 4 late 70's 164e straight 6 sedans, even a 122 wagon (never got that one running) and a turbo 245 wagon with manual trans! I used to mess with air cooled VW's back then too, but now I don't really wrench much...

'fraid not! MADE IN CHINA! "Ramps in the Daylight" Part II video:

They came yesterday. Here's their unboxing video. Much larger and more ******** than I imagined:

I made my own, from a piece of leather. I've had it for 25 years and doubt any burlap sac version would weather the years with such splendor. Pretty self-explanatory how to fashion your own, not much to it. The leather formed around each wrench for that TIGHT "molded" fit we all love to see...

LOVE that M12 soldering iron! I cut my solder-tethers 15 years ago with a Weller BUTANE *******, but it was always clogging up and running out of fuel, and took longer to warm up, etc. I loved it at the time, but hate it now compared to the M12 2488 soldering iron. It really is a joy to use...

Thanks, I am interested in learning, but your link is bogus.

What are you using for a belt-grinder? I just stopped in to give props to my Kalamazoo 1SM 42x1. I don't make any, but I keep my production and semi-customs very sharp. :evil:

I have "modified" plastic blow-molded cases with a heat-gun. Just warm up the plastic until it's pliable, then mold it to your liking. I recommend the Milwaukee 2688-20 M-18 Compact Heat Gun (Bare Tool).

I logged in, typed a great response, but GC had logged me off and erased it all when I clicked, "Post Reply". How can I extend the time I'm logged in? What is this short, seemingly random, time limit anyway? I'll try to re-type my response, but it's lost its glory: I bought a set of adapts...

I probably didn't need three tools either, but adding that third tool doubled the savings from only buying two bare tools. I basically got free rubber boots for all three drive tools, it covered all the sales tax, and then some change on top of that. I always end up close to $500 everytime I...

Re: Your thoughts on using just 1/4" and 1/2" drive tools Abandon 3/8" drive? Hell YES! That's like my new thing! I mean, the monetary outlay for all the satin chrome I got is like peanuts compared to Hazet, but it gives me the same feeling in use, so I just bought my first chrome socket...

Re: Your thoughts on using just 1/4" and 1/2" drive tools Abandon 3/8" drive? They look exactly the same, made in Taiwan? I bet they're the same. Nice Satin finish? They look nice!

Re: Your thoughts on using just 1/4" and 1/2" drive tools Abandon 3/8" drive? Dude! Are those OEMTOOLS in 1/2" chromes? SICK! I just bought the 3/8" and 1/4" sets in both Metric and SAE, because I love their satin finish! I need that 1/2" set! Where'd you get it/how much was it? :bowdown:

Re: Your thoughts on using just 1/4" and 1/2" drive tools Abandon 3/8" drive? Same. This notion began when I got my Grey Pneymatic DUO 1/2 drive sets in both the Metric and SAE. I added regular GP deeps to match the sizes. I couldn't believe how high and low it went, from 10mm to 36mm and...
