I use the Giraffe retractable vacuum with 30ft hose. I opted not to use the blue-tooth handle as it is just one thing that can break, which I cannot repair. I really like it, I use it for my shop cleanup all the time. I will say though, it does not have the lift required to pick up bolts and...

I am very jealous. I wish anywhere in the Tampa Bay area had a store which stocked Wera or items that actually are good. A local HVAC shops stocks Knipex pliers and Malco bits, but that is about it. Big brands only...

Fair enough

That adapter from Olsa is actually a very cool idea. $26.87 for 3, that is a approx $9.00 a piece. If you buy it from their tiktok shop, whatever that is, you get free shipping but the price is a bit over $33.00, again not a bad price for 3. How much do you think it would be ordering from...

I feel the same way currently. I just want a bit holder that will hold bits but not to the point I need pliers to pull them off because of retaining rings. I tried the Zephyr ZM60 and it is a nice medium with the o-ring retention but I don't like how hard it is putting a bit in the thing. Going...

I agree with Olli. I do a fare bit of plumbing in spurts. I considered going the no-name pro-press route. But in the end do you want the certainty that it will not leak and ruin things that cannot be ruined or not. I went with Ridgid and couldn't be happier. You can just get a second hand one...

I use the Wera chiseldrivers. They are fantastic. I ended up getting a set for 4 of my guys and buying them as gifts for my father and brother-in-law. I broke one using it as a prybar which was dumb on my part. However like others have said eventually they will wear out, nature of the beast...

Just as a tip if you want to do a foam insert like the one above or just in a box with sockets. You take your top foam and space out your layout. Then find a socket that has the exact or close enough outside diameter and use it as a "drill bit" to cut the top layer of foam. It will make a...

I believe the boxes are great for people that are doing handyman work, you know pushing a cart around as you can configure to your needs. But that is basically if you have elevators and flat surfaces everywhere. I got several Veto Pro Pac bags which I prefer to stackable organizers. My MCT is...

Now that I think about it, are the CAT ratcheting wrenches SO? I thought that I read somewhere on here they were and then I thought maybe I read they were not. Not trying to get into another thread of CAT SO tools, but just curious.

The best on the market is Toughbuilt stacktech. They unfortunately will be going out of business but they are the best. I use Flex Stack Pack which is good, a friend of mine uses Packout, another uses Rigid, and another uses Husky. All have their good points but in my opinion Stacktech is the...

I have in my shop Milwaukee non-ratcheting and ratcheting wrenches. They are great.

Thanks for the input. I think I will hold off on this one until further down the road, or after I start having issues with the ratchet mechanism on my current set. Or better yet just change them out as they wear out with Flank Drive Plus.

I mostly run into SAE bolts in my line of country and I have been using Wera Joker non-reversable ratcheting wrenches for some years (about 6). Recently I decided I was going to do a whole upgrade cycle on my portable tool kit, buying the best that is available while trying to keep it miUSA. I...

Very nice set from wurth FYI. I bought 4 for my guys, they all use them a lot.
