Not sure why they made the soft grip versions larger,

So many great looking screwdrivers in this thread ! I only have 3 screwdrivers plus a black ratcheting 1/4 inch socket driver. Red one is a Dale Earnhardt edition I bought in the mid 90s.

Yes you're correct on the handle, mine is scalloped/swooshed on both sides of the handle so it's comfy for left handed users too. I did own another AW-434 back in the late 90's with the swoosh only on the left of the the handle and flat on the right like the 232. Think it was a 434 B or C...

Had a MAC box years ago but the only MAC I own today is my beloved AW-434M...with the oil reservoir in the bottom of the handle I suspect a re-badged IR 232..

Ive got a 1 1/2" i bought for swapping out my trailer ball. And a 38 mm in my axle nut set.

Didn't think auto glass shops even used butyl tape anymore,

Needed a t-45 torx bit, Could've went to Canadian Tire and paid 9 bucks for a single bit Then found this cheapo set on Amazon for 20 bucks CAN. Made by Lexivon supposedly in Taiwan. Comes with a nice case with actual hinges and a sliding latch. Engravings on the sockets are nice and...

Needed a new torque wrench and figured I'd try one of these newer C3 Wera's Only drawback is you need to convert to Newton meters if you want to dial in an accurate or specific setting, the lbs scale is only ballparking it. I like it so far, its comfortable to grip and the scale is very...

I won't even go near a 12 point socket. I'll fight for a few extra seconds with a 6 point if i have to.

I made an exhaust spring puller/pusher for my snowmobile out of a crappy large flat screwdriver.

Think people have had trailers or boats stolen while the latch is still locked to the ball on the receiver. It’s easy to remove a non-locking pin and slide the receiver right out of the hitch while its still attached to the trailer and locked to the ball. Locking the receiver is just as...

Good idea, and if the straight edges are actually straight It should be every bit as accurate as a calliper

Actually do you have a old small screwdriver or something else small you could just get really hot with a propane torch ? That would work too if you don't want to buy an iron.

Same principal as the hack saw idea, i just used a soldering iron so I wouldn't risk hurtIng the aluminum threads on the ATV.

Just “cut” it out with a soldering iron. Make a couple groves with a hot iron to the threads then turn or pry it out with a small screwdriver. Did this with a oil drain plug on a Can-Am ATV
