glad he tested/demonstrated how stiff SO pliers are to open and close. ive been saying this for years and ppl have just told me "you have to wear them in". pretty much only SO pliers i use daily are slip joints that dont have this issue and my pair of side cutters like the one tested in the vid...
i'm over here in the RVA, midlothian area to be more specific and we recently got a greenhorn CW dealer a few months ago to much excitement. i used to own a CW toolbox setup and still have a bunch of their hardline tools from my time living out in nashville where CW had a much greater presence...
I've bought every generation of 1/4 and 3/8 versions of the SO 14.4 impacts, I find them that useful and enjoy using them. And it helps that my SO guy will actually work with on prices after stonewalling me at MSRP for the longest time
Picked up your new ct861am from my SO guy at the end of work today. Surprised he actually had it on the truck as he's usually behind on times when it comes to new stuff. Haven't put it to use but she's def torquey
agree on the astro thor 401 but mine only lasted about a yr with not much usage or abuse. the price is cheap enough to replace it and not try to repair it. went back to using my 20+ yr old cornwell air hammer that hasnt skipped a beat but obviously not as powerful. ill pick up another 401 thor...
yeah, the stamping is not very pronounced but it is better then nothing. there is the tekton name also stamped on the lower body of the socket on the opposite side laser marking which i think is a nice touch. yep, the are made in taiwan, even the box it was shipped on is labled so. the flex of...
Picked up the full metric set that came in today. Sockets feel great, love that they finally started stamping the size on to them. I have astro, matco, sunex and GW 3/8 sets but wanted to try out the tektons. I use 3/8 and 1/2 impact wobble sockets everyday, break/wear them out constantly and...
i dont use my bjp1 as much as i used too but i did bust it out this past fri on a set of lower bj's on a 2011 nissan xterra. made me smile to knock the dust off ole gal and put her to use. i do own and have used the otc kit with the master astro adaptor set but mostly use cups as seal driver...
im like most here that have almost every flavor of "mini" pry bars and they all have their uses, i tend to grab my tektons b/c i prefer the feel of the handles. but as far a "pocket" pry bar, hands down its the snap on. havent worn out/broken the clip in over a yr of use and its light enough to...
used some reward points to get the set for half off. i use the 90* pick multiple times day, order history says ive bought over 10 of them since they came out. i dont feel terrible losing a one along the way being how reasonably priced they are. i still prefer the SO mini pry bars but the tektons...
yeah, those are the newer satin finished 12pt wrenches. ive used them for 2 days and really like them. have a good heft to them, the satin finish provides a little grip to them and the direction arrow comes in handy at a quick glance. and the shoes are a size 9.5, not huge for a 5'5" guy but the...
Recent pickups are the m18 super sawzall, tekton 6-19 long double rachet wrench set and GW XL 21,22,24 ratchet wrenches. I have 2 sets of EZ red wrenches and a set of matco large wrenches and got tired of warranty replacements. I have enough sets to keep on working while dealing with waiting on...
