It's honestly not an easy answer with Amazon due to how they stock things. If it's shipped from Amazon, basically they combine products from all sellers so who knows what you actually get. Say sellers A through C are legit. Seller D sells knockoffs with the same SKU. They can all be intermingled...

The spray cans work fine. I got the Woolwax 12 can kit with 24" extension wand and 360° nozzle before last winter. I was able to completely do my 4Runner (probably over did it). I did a quick touch up before this past winter and it held amazingly well. Did a few more cans for good measure...

Pro Torque Tools also has some

If the tools are high quality and near the best in their category, pricing doesn't seem that bad.

I'm a fan of the Hakko, I like the FX951 but that might be too much for you. If you won't use it a lot could look into T12 clones like from KSGER or others. TS100 is also a popular choice.

Are these made in USA Gearwrench/Husky torque wrenches able to be calibrated? Anyone ever do it? I'm assuming if you get the plastic handle off there is probably a cap at the end that you can unscrew. The plastic handle is on there pretty good and doesn't seem to want to come off too easily...

Older generations always complain about the younger generations yet seem to fail to realize their generation is the one responsible for raising them.

You can buy an aircat and IR and save a few hundred over Snapon and have a spare.

My local Ace still has a number of the hex hoses left, just checked this morning.

Good point, so maybe not a total waste if I get this.

Was just looking at this, it includes a 14" Black Diamond Hoof Finishing Rasp. Is a hoof finishing rasp acutally useful for anything other than horses hoofs? 6 Piece USA File Set

Tekton has a newish line of pliers made in Taiwan. Not sure when they were actually released. Appears to be some needle nose, mini pliers, and a couple of cutting pliers. Anyone use\try any of them? My first assumption is they are probably similar quality to the Harbor Freight Doyle pliers. I...
