    What tools have you recently gotten past TSA in your carry on baggage?

    The TSA has a list of prohibited items. Last on the list is a catch all. The agent can basically say anything is not allowed if that person doesn't like it. I fly a lot. I was stopped once because I had a 6" Channellock adjustable wrench that had already flown dozens of times with no problem...

    Wright 4434 breaker bar vs Stahlwille 504

    I have the Wright 4434 and it's rather beastly. Very stout and I love it. It makes other breaker bars I have or have had look kind of flimsy.

    Craftsman V Series XXL Ratcheting Flex Head Double Box

    I got this set from Lowes on sale at a very good price. I recently ordered the new Tekton fixed/ flex version in 15,16, and 18mm to fill in. They are 12 point without the I beam machining, and with a lovely satin finish. Other than these differences, well, I'd bet money they came from the same...

    Sewing machine recommendation?

    I have a Janome hd3000 that I like a lot! I used it with 1000d cordura nylon and heavy cotton canvas and it works great.

    All different dual drive sockets that exist and sneaky tricks you use on them

    O'Reilly's has Power Torque 1/4 drive low profile chrome sockets with an 11mm hex. They sell a ratchet for them too that makes for a very skinny setup. Also Husky sells, or at least sold, 1/2 and 3/8 drive low profile impact sockets that are like the Asto ones.

    Anyone else like Channellocks?

    I hadn't either until I saw them on a shelf at a local tool store. Had no idea!

    Anyone else like Channellocks?

    I'm curious what the Channellock aficionados on here know about this small pair of box joint long nose pliers that are marked as Made in Germany? I've had them for several years and love them but also find them a curiosity. I'm assuming they where rebranded by Channellock.

    John Deere wrenches rust removal

    He practically wouldn't let me leave without them. I thought I would try to clean them up and sell a set on his behalf if they are worth much in not pristine condition.

    John Deere wrenches rust removal

    Hi! I was just going through stuff with my father in law and he insisted I take these wrenches. They are two complete sets (minus one 7/16) John Deere wrench sets from 1/4 to 1-1/4. I have an odd ball Bonney 11/32 that looks exactly the same so I'm assuming that's who made them. They're lovely...
