I have 2 and love them! A standard/slow speed and a high speed. Awesome tool for smaller task like taking apart my fishing reels for cleaning and lube.

I have the twin grip pliers and a pair of screw pliers from Merry that are very nice. They both work great but in slightly different situations. I also have the small engineer screw pliers. They are amazing for small screws made from cheese grade steel, as long as the head doesn't pop off, they...

Yes, same here, but I am also always carrying at least a pistol on my hip. My home is even better protected.

Hilti has some crazy strong cordless drills. I have a 22 volt hilti. It will hurt you easily if not paying attention. It has 4 speeds, so going very slow to very fast and in between is possible.

I have and still use a Swiss made Bosch 10.8 volt hex driver/screwdriver. They are called 12 volt max now but they are really 10.8 volt. This thing just keeps on screwing and drilling! I wish bosch still made their 10.8/12 volt cordless tools in Switzerland. I think my 90 degree/right angle 10.8...

Vessel is much better in my eyes. Anex and several other Japan made screwdrivers are very nice. As mentioned, PB Swiss is awesome, the best I have used so far.

here is a 10 foot tape that is similar. The 16' will look like this but be bigger. Seems these may have been made is Mexico too. I hope this helps. It ***** all the tapes I like are tough to find...

Lufkin model HV 1316 is the one I was referring to. Excellent USA made tapes. Sadly, it appears these are discontinued too. They were sold for many years, so you may still be able to find a few. I did see where this model is being made in china and looks very different. I have no idea about the...

I had a Tajimas tape. I was not impressed and quickly gave it away. It has been so long ago I dont recall the model but it was SAE only and 16'. Before I found the Big Johnson tapes, I used the plain Lufkin 16' orange or black tapes. Accurate, tough as nails, not expensive, not heavy or bulky...

needthattool.com had them, but the owner retired and closed sadly. I got the last or so he had. Those were the last sae Big-T tapes I have seen for sale. I hope they again make them in sae and become available here in USA. The 16' model is my go-to favorite, but I do have a couple 25' and 30'...

wera is hard to beat for the price.

https://wfmc.shop/ Shop around. It can be found much cheaper from time to time. I got my super deluxe set for $120.

the Wadsworth Falls bit ratchet kit gets my vote! Very compact, lots of great quality bits, very strong ratchet, even has a screwdriver handle that can be incorporated into the ratchet or use it alone, has finger spinners for the bits. I probably missed something. Pricey, but well worth it if...

YES! Much better.

I would like a pair too. Where to buy?
