Wrench knife? Offset scrapers? Leather paperweights? Man, I missed so much stuff. Well done! Pail guy almost headbutted a stack of old pallets at one point, so thank God he had enough caffeine in his system to avoid it at the last second. Cheers to camera operators, editor(s), and everyone...

My stuff from HJE Day 2023 showed up earlier today! I requested something like "Bob Dylan sitting at a kitchen table, smoking a cigarette and working on lyrics to a song. Maybe he just finished some apple pie or something." My lagniappe items were a Wilde koozie, a puffy Lang sticker, and a...

Oh man, I forgot to say "Happy Epstein's Day" in my order comments. I was Order 000063323. I actually love screwdrivers which are expressly built to be prybars, so that Lang mini prybar set was a must. The ancient incantation of NOT A PRYBAR CHISEL OR PUNCH still exerts a powerful force upon...

Re: FREE GIVEAWAY - Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2763 High Torque 1/2" Impact - Realtoolreviews Woohoo! Count me in!

Cool giveaway, please count me in! Thanks sir!

FH80 - I wanted to take a chance on a comfort grip to see if I liked them, and as it turns out, I do not like them at all. I do not like the super lightweight handle + heavy ratchet head feel one bit. Wish I would've gone with the FL80 instead.

Heh. I was coming into this thread to recommend a set of Cobras, since they're super narrow. The pliers wrench idea sounds like a winner too.

Good write up man. I picked one of these up after reading your review -- I had never thought of using a ratchet like this with the "wrist" unlocked. My particular ratchet locked up after I tried to remove/reinstall a few bolts after getting it home. I wound up taking the thing apart, and...

Oh, I'm totally getting one of these then. I picked up the SK 3/8" RH flex and the HF double-ended long flex -- both with floppy heads -- and when I finally got a chance to use them for repairs, the floppiness of the heads drove me up the wall. I guess when I use a flex head to get at a...

I think that the locking feature might be as good as/better than clicks for the way that I use flex ratchets. Only one way to find out, right? :) (There have definitely been instances where a tool looked awesome to me on paper, only to be frustrating to use in real life -- and vice versa.)...

Do the Matco locking flex ratchets have click stops/detents when the head flexes, or it it just a continuous free movement of the ratchet head? (I'm hoping for click stops.) Thanks for any info y'all can provide.

Thanks OP!

I think that is the same USA KD torque wrench as the GearWrench 85052. It's 10-100 ft./lbs. The oil filter cap on PD TDI's is 18 ft./lbs., and I use that GW torque wrench for that.

Dude, if you have room to stick that Dewalt adapter + square drive adapter + socket in there attached to the end of a drill or hex impact, then I think you would've had room to swing any ratchet you own. No need to come up with justifications around here -- it's the GJ! If you want a new tool...

Hopefully my survey managed to sneak in under the wire. Thanks AP!
