Has anyone used the Williams Offset combination wrenches? They have a very short (1 inch?) offset. I can see where they would be useful in certain situations. The COO is Argentina, first Argentinian tools I've seen. Which brings up another question. Argentina?? Any idea how they measure up to...

Thanks guys! I think I'll pull the handle on some of these. I'll post up a picture if I get any good ones.

I came across some older (vintage?) breaker bars pretty cheap. Snap On, SK, Plomb, and a few other makes. Is the drive end supposed to move freely or is it supposed to "lock" (not really lock, more like stop) into place at 90 degrees? Or does it matter? Every one I've owned did lock, just...

Thanks guys, makes sense!

Anyone know why Snap On has these two different step styles in their 1/2 drive x 1/2" sockets? I'm guessing it's just different years of manufacture had different designs.

So what's the difference between the WrightGrip wrenches and the 2.0 version? Excellent tools for sure, but their website is lacking.

I picked up a Snap On socket at a yard sale this past weekend. There is no date code and the drive end has an unusual (to me anyway) matt finish. Any ideas as to when and why?

Thanks Outwest!

Has anyone had trouble accessing Epstein's site? I've tried yesterday and today but I'm getting a "503 Error". Down for maintenance maybe?

Anyone know an internet source for this model of King **** ratchet, someone that will ship to the USA? In 1/4, 3/8 &/or 1/2 in drives. https://www.kingdicktools.co.uk/socketry/index.asp?section=ratchets-296

I'm in, thanks for the chance!

A compaction tester?

Well, here's my 2 cents worth. I joined the SK Socket of the Month Club figuring it a good way to put together a 6 point 3/8 drive deep socket set. Oh boy, maybe not. The first socket I got was a 3/4, at least two of the retention detents were shallow and wouldn't stay on a locking...

Different Heyco.

What is connection beween Heyco and Wiha? Any opinions on Heyco sockets?
