Okay thanks! For some reason the perspective made me think it was much deeper box, I thought ~12”.

What Proto box is that? I’ve never seen one in those dimensions before.

Yeah, you’re right. I looked up when they opened and saw 2018 but it doesn’t look like any actually hit the market until 2021 so it’s unlikely they were producing more than prototypes during that time period. It really is sad that they failed. I bought a couple from HJE this year and they really...

Unless I’m mistaken, the Eagle grips were in production for roughly 4 years, 2018-2022. As another member mentioned, they were significantly more expensive when they were first put into production. Edit: I was mistaken, it was only a year

Note that Torx Plus is a different screw/driver than regular Torx. It’s not really the same as Wera’s hex plus that works on regular hex fasteners.

Sorry for the late reply, but in the catalog the head width is listed as 1 7/16”, just like the 3/8” drive ratchets above it.

Yup, looking at there catalog the j6008c is still made with the 1/2” anvil on the 3/8 head. J6008rk is the repair kit number. Zoro is listing it as discontinued so availability might be spotty.

While you won’t save any money buying them, Klein power tools use dewalt batteries.

Do your pants have a watch/coin pocket? I carry the 5” comfortably in there.

All stainless can rust. Even the good stuff depending on what it’s exposed to.

That ICON punch and chisel set is definitely a good deal, especially when it goes on sale. As far as I know, Mayhew only ran s2 steel on their 150 line, which is almost impossible to find now and these are advertising it. While I only have just started using some s2 chisels and punches (proto)...

https://apexbits.com/apex-female-threaded-drive-quick-release-bit-holder-chucks.aspx These are the only ones I know of. I’m pretty sure the third one would work but it’s min order of 12 and insanely expensive. The first one on the list can be found on zoro for $62 with coupon but would be the...

I use mine with Allen bit sockets all the time. More comfortable and easier to position for small sizes in repetitive work. You don’t have to think that just because it can be called a “breaker bar” that it has to be used for high torque.

9/16” is for a 3/8” bolt, which industrially is used for almost everything. Lots of times where you need to double wrench it too, thus the two wrench’s being supplied.
