    Do you know PB SWISSTOOL, possibly the best screwdrivers in the world?

    I have a couple of Wiha ph2, they fit the phillips head screw so well, like a glove, I always reached for it first. I have some Vessels too. Some day, I'll like to order some PB Swiss to try when my finances allowed.

    What's your go to screwdrivers?

    I have a Wiha and some Vessel. If I'm looking for a good grip on a phillips screw, I'll grab the Wiha.

    Recommend a good "dumb" 12v battery charger

    I used this for about 5 yrs now to charge all my batteries. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32992652972.html You can set the voltage and current limit.

    Tools of Japan

    I use Koken wobble extension and I lost a couple of sockets inside the engine compartment. While pulling out the extension, it accidentally hit the chassis and the socket dropped off. It's getting too expensive for me to lose Koken sockets this way.

    Recommendations for an Amp Clamp Meter

    IIRC, my Uni-T DC clamp meter reading was off, I had to add, like +200mA when reading at the low scale. I left it aside, and use Craftsman which is more accurate. I mainly use this to check for car battery leakage.

    Has anyone ever used a car jump starter?

    If you carry around a 12V cordless tool, you can probably hook some wires into the battery and use it as a jump starter.

    Yes, I have this style of locking extension. It works well, but it's 3/8" drive. I wanted to use 1/4", but my 1/4" locking extension is not locking. It's defective. :mad: I wanted to use 1/4" bcoz 3/8" is getting too heavy when I'm carrying many tools around.

    Yes, I was using a 1/4" drive Koken wobble extension. I pushed it in tight (no wobble) but it still came loose and then the socket has to drop out. You can't find it after it roll into a corner somewhere inside the car. I use a 13mm socket to loosen battery hold down bolt in VW cars. So I had...

    These koken nutgrip was nice and expensive. I stick them on a koken extension when working on a car. As I pull it out, it hit the side and dropped the socket into an abyss. I lost it 2x the same incident on the same brand of car, unfortunately. I won't be replacing it anymore.

    Jump Starter won’t hold a charge ?

    I bought a new one. Jump start probably about 10~20 times, then the battery is toast. You'd need to replace it. Inside is a SLA battery, they aren't meant for long term duty starting a car.
