    This code is a sleeper. In the fine print it says hand tools, and I checked it and it definitely works with hand tools. A subbed member here should jump on it quick! I was tempted to nab this one too but I will leave it for someone else.

    I used this code, thank you.

    Tools of Japan

    Exactly my point. Except for small precision pliers. In my experience, Japanese Hozan (I believe made by 3 peaks) are nicer than Knipex.

    Tools of Japan

    The IPS stuff that I have is definitely not quite up to Knipex quality. I like them, I will probably buy more. But they dont blow me away. The serrations on their mini rep of Snap-Ons slip joint needle nose didnt hold up well at all for me. And when looking for something similar to Cobras, they...

    It’s $10 for me with a coupon. But I already bit at that in October when they were $5. And what comes in is not what is shown. Someone else tried it too. It’s a weird stubby torx with like an alignment pin sticking out that would need to be ground off to use it with any fastener I’ve ever seen

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I bought one of these a few months ago for washing cars. I designed TPU bumpers to 3D print that cover the 180 degree arcs of the frame. I was absolutely paranoid of those running into the car or wheel face. I remember you bought a 3D printer a few weeks back or whatever, maybe you'll want to...

    Torque-angle is one of the most precise methods for achieving a consistent target fastener preload/stretch. Because the thread pitch is known, the amount of axial fastener movement or stretch produced by a given angle of rotation can be accurately determined. Direct measurement of fastener...

    the colors seem trivial to me. say i am working on my truck... i know every fastener on there is 10, 12, 14, 17, 19... and a 10 and a 12 do not look similar, you can clearly tell which is which. Aside from that I can tell with 98% accuracy which socket or wrench is what just by looking at it...

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015571II?tag=atomicindus08-20 5-pack of somewhat long Wera T30 bit for $8.53. It is out of stock, so you have to manually select amazon as seller to get this price. It has no ETA. But for $9.15 after tax, whenever they come around sounds good to me.

    I have have tons of stuff in the cart and saved for later. It doesnt help. I stopped getting 20% codes after using like 10-12 of them. For a while I was getting them constantly. Actually was thinking maybe I would empty out my cart and all my saved for later and see if that helps get codes again...

    I havent been sent one directly in like a year I think. A few months back I was able to get one from a member here. They are definitely getting more stingy with them.

    I am guessing its mostly for pressure. When people think they have a deadline for a deal, they are more likely to just react and purchase. Sorta like that strategy so many cheesy companies have where they bombard you with emails and social posts about this amazing sale they have but it ENDS IN 3...

    I got a $20 off $100 coupon if anyone needs. "expired" yesterday, but just confirmed its still good and ready to go. Most of these codes still work long after expiration. I dont plan on setting up another Zoro order for a couple weeks so I can let this one go. UPDATE: CODE CLAIMED

    I finally found an 8mm wrench more expensive than Snap-on

    There are strange subset of people who somehow concluded that since eBay was originally an auction platform, that it is the best place to get deals. Thus it doesn't occur to them to look elsewhere. A lot of people do not know how large the internet actually is. I see it alot with instagram...

    They are 28-38 USD on Amazon.DE at the moment. 3 in cart comes to $26 shipping plus $17 tariffs, total 140 shipped said and done, average $46/47 each. A far cry from $10 a piece, but much better than 70-90 each in the USA. When I first got into Knipex a couple years ago, a buddy and I went in...
