I had 2 pocket prybars on backorder for over 6 months. SO called to see if I wanted to keep that part of the order, but I was at work and couldn’t answer. I called back the next day and they had already cancelled it. I told them I didn’t want it cancelled but they said “too late, you can order...

I always aimed for the middle of the range, never had a problem.

Way more info than you were asking for or probably want, but on the subject of detailing… https://ammonyc.com/blogs/learn/drive-protect-master-guide

Since you added the Capri 24mm… any particular reason you chose the Sunex set over the full Capri set?

Ah I forgot about that set - I might write Capri to inquire as I’d prefer that one. Their site is a little strange… if a product is out of stock then often it just won’t show up at all, but you can still get to the product page thru Google or a saved direct link.

Capri 6pc Extra Long Double Box End Wrench set. Chrome looks really nice on these and the ends are cleanly broached. Capri 3/8” Stubby Impact sockets. Tempted to go for the 3/8” Mid-Lenghs next.

After years of arguing with channel locks and vice grips I bought a pair similar to these… many different companies sell what basically looks to be the same thing. Massively easier to use and fairly cheap to boot.

ICON-branded double box end ratcheting flex heads. I don’t particularly care for HF, but with the Father’s Day 20% off coupon they came in about the same price as the Mountain-branded but with a warranty.

I’ve never used them but I immediately thought of this: Snap-on 6 pc Metric Non-Marring Socket Insert Set - PSCM600 Pricey for what it is (i.e. it’s Snap-on) but there are similar items out there if you look around: Socket/Wrench Non Marring Insert Set - RX2092

If it’s not then I plan on getting a soft grip anyway and converting it. Not exactly cost effective but neither is Snappy in the first place.

Has anyone heard an ETA from their dealer yet? I have low hopes it’ll actually make the website >at all< (I don’t think the TH72MP ever did - got mine on fleabay).

The addiction continues… made a custom “THD72MP” (TH72MP ratchet + THD72-12HV handle) Pictured with her big sister FHD80MP.
