    Depinning tool set

    Thanks, Olli. I saw those, and for some reason, I thought I remember a bigger set (16-24pcs) with the red/black soft handles. Maybe I'm confusing that with someone else's offerings.

    Depinning tool set

    My ******* posted this in the wrong thread yesterday: Thanks friends. I appreciate all the advice. Unfortunately, I dont get the choose the coonectors--they choose me! In my world it's just as likely to be a connector in a 70s VW, a 90s appliance, a modern Mopar, or a new pinball machine...

    Gas cans that expand like a balloon

    Burst? No. But I did have one inflate itself so much it was more round than square and tipped itself over. Didnt spill. This was in a detached/uninsulated garage.

    Tools and Bits To Improve DIY Automotive Wiring Quality

    Thanks friends. I appreciate all the advice. Unfortunately, I dont get the choose the coonectors--they choose me! In my world it's just as likely to be a connector in a 70s VW, a modern Mopar, or a new pinball machine. Right now I'm thinking of going with the set of three Lisle round pokey...

    Snap On Quality?

    I dont think they make the multicolor nut drivers anymore. That's probably why. Or he's a jerk

    Snap on triple square sockets

    I only have one, I think it's 8mm. Its whatever size the CV axle bolts on '68-up air-cooled VWs are. It pulls 50+ year old corroded bolts out without drama.

    Depinning tool set

    Hi all, Today I ran into a situation where de-pinning a connector would have saved me a bunch of time. I don't have said tools. I'm looking for a recommendation on a comprehensive set of de-pinning tools. My usage is split between automotive style connectors as well as Molex type connectors...

    Snap On Quality?

    That handle looks like it's more brittle than it should be. Is that nut driver from one of the newer sets where all the handles are the same color?

    UPDATED: Anyone had any recent issues with Koken USA orders?

    I haven't ordered directly from KoKen in quite a while...because their in stock fulfillment time was glacially slow. I buy it elsewhere, namely Zoro. If its in stock I generally get it next day.

    Don't need it, still bought it.

    Made in England? Don't see that very often. Cool!

    Boggs Tools - The Last File Sharpening Company in America

    Makes sense. Mr. Boggs said in the video the manufacturers used to do this process on new files but stopped years ago. It was a good video; saw it a few days ago. I just wish they had gone a bit more technical on the actual process. Pretty neat something like this still exists, especially in a...

    I may be wrong here, but everything I've looked at from RHINOUSA was made in China. I have a 3"x30' US made tow strap I bought from Mac's several years ago. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend them to to being bought out by a conglomerate and a subsequent degradation in quality and...
