I have 3 sets of tools. I've never come across sizes other than these for the work I do. SAE is used more than Metric for me. For some reason I've never liked having double sizes i.e. a 19mm and a 3/4" or a 27mm and a 1 1/16" in my tools set. If it's a double size I have the larger of the two...

Me too, been searching for the SK tool ,mainly cause I have all the matching SK indexing pry bars. Thanks for sharing this. I will stop looking for the SK now

I used to buy Bahco. I find that the Bahco blades wander more than others. not sure why but now that I buy Starret I make straighter cuts, same technique, both cut very well but Starrett is the one I prefer now

Wow AdAstra this chart is the best on I've seen. Pretty much what ive discovered thru use. If that's lash angle is less than 1degree and I can fit it on the faster than it works for my use. I have No need to keep both metric and SAE in my tool bags.

Thanks for sharing this chart. Would have like to see how 33mm and 1 5/16" correlated as far as lash angle. For me I use more SAE than metric but I don't keep my tool sets separate these individual metric are added to my SAE. As long as I have a full SAE set all I need for metric are 6mm 7mm...

I don't know the answer to your question but I do know that the red vise is sure a beautiful thing!

I hope they get back up and running. Ive bought a lot of Williams and Bahco from them. Always great prices and never a problem. Plus I think their site is easy to navigate. At first I thought maybe it was down because the were changing the site (which would be a mistake) like so many companies...

Im sure some of you like me love this channel. Just wanted to share this channel for those that might like watching tool/repair videos. Pakistani Truck (not the similar "Pakistani Trucks" Channel) has been putting out great videos for some time. The guy that puts these together is a fantastic...

I thought I had everything I needed for wrenches with my 24, 27, 30, 32, and 36. Couple of weeks ago had to buy a 1 5/16 wrench (which is 33.3mm) for the pitman arm on my Chevy 1 ton. I was able to use a 33mm axle socket to get it off. The 1 5/16 wrench is supposedly the correct size and was...

Firmly agree. KD made good stuff. You can still find the older stuff at Cripe Distributing and some of the mom and pop tool stores

My vote is for the Rainbow SwissGrip. I have all three Handle styles. I love the original Classic style handles. All time favorite is the craftsman clear regular style. So that's why I bought first, the Classic style. Classic/craftsman style are good because they have ribs that allow you to...

Awesome, The stubby Flat Flat is my favorite hammer, might be my favorite tool. I will order one of these for sure

Easily Grey Pneumatic's adapter. I don't have a 1/2 impact so Ive gone thru plenty of 1/4 hex to 1/2 adapters. I know I using the wrong tool for the job but I use what I have right now. The Grey Pneumatic adapters have held up the best plus they are shorter than some others. Don't get me wrong...

I feel that is the best ratchet on the market. I got the long 3/8ths and its now my go to. The head is super small almost 1/4 size. Love it. Add a little grease to the ratchet mechanism. Carlyle uses a light oil, but if you pack it with grease it'll be much smoother. Use a small flat head...
