    Armstrong ratcheting wrenches

    I have a lot of Armstrong hand tools, all of them are awesome. Very sad to see that they went away. That said, I second the suggestion for Proto ratcheting box wrenches. I have both full sets in SAE and Metric and they’re awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Found a NOS Allen USA 22mm that’s perfect for my lugs, has a nice deep broach. Compared to a Williams USA Williams on the left, Allen on the right Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Deep well socket for lug nuts?

    Nice, all my old NAPA USA stuff is great. I wish they still made it. Got a lot from Cripe Dist off of eBay over the years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Deep well socket for lug nuts?

    I have a wide selection of sockets (all sizes, SAE/metric, splined, deep, shallow, chromed and impact, etc etc) My problem is specifically for the lug nuts on my 2003 Ram. My 22mm and my 7/8” deep impact sockets are SK, which even though they’re “deep”, the hex recess is still “shallow”. What...

    Very low-profile flex-head ratchet

    I have one from Cornwell I got on eBay, one end is 1/4" hex for driver bits, the other end is 1/4" square for sockets. Very high quality and occasionally indispensable. As far as COO, I'm not sure but I suspect Taiwan given its quality, and the fact that it isn't marked "USA" Sent from my...

    Water Pump Pulley Holder (for fwd applications)

    Do you have a part number? I'd love to find something "universal" like this, and I looked all over the Stahlwille website with no luck

    New ratchet wrenches?

    I love the proto splines. Have a full set of SAE and metric, and zero complaints. With a coupon code to Zoro they are an awesome deal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wright Wrenches Too Short...Sigh

    I can't speak for the OP, but I don't want longs for the leverage; rather, I want them for the reach. I'd give bonus points for a zero offset set since I want them for difficult to reach, tight areas. Might have to go with double box ends for that in an XL length wrench, but I'd like to have...

    Wright Wrenches Too Short...Sigh

    I'm with you brother, I love my proto spline ratcheting wrenches but I really want a set of long pattern combos that have some kind of anti-slip feature for the open end. I'd be down for American or euro brands, but aside from snap-on (which out price me, even used...) I can't seem to find a...

    Best buy in US made 1/2" deep impacts?

    Re: Best buy in US made 1/2" deep impacts? I always forget about the Williams USA stuff, thanks! I have some of their chrome stuff and have been very impressed.
