    The Milwaukee fuel 3/8 stubby impact

    I bought one 2 months ago, up until then I thought my Snap On 3/8 cordless ratchet was the best tool I’d ever bought. With my Snap On 3/8 swivel impact sockets I’m getting timing belts, engine bay work, brakes and light suspension work done much quicker. I’ve found that it doesn’t work so well...

    Tools from the old world

    I got everything from amazon for an absolute bargain of a price. I was expecting the socket sets just to be empty cases as I’ve had in the past when amazon have something going really cheap but its just the case, tray or a part from the set you actually get. I really like the screwdriver...

    Tools from the old world

    Elora number punches, centre punch, hey keys, universal shears and clamp. I think the clamp is just a rebadged Grip On. Heyco brake spring pliers and screwdriver set. The screwdrivers are West German so must be old stock Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tools from the old world

    Heyco 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 socket set. Everything is stamped Germany except the 1/4 ratchet which i think is Taiwan and the bit holder which is West Germany. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    US made chisels

    I’ll second Footprint I have a set of Snap On chisels and I feel they are a bit soft, maybe I had a bad set but they didn’t impress me. I bought 3 Footprint chisels and have given them some serious abuse and they have never let me down. They take a good edge and hold it for a long time and...

    Anyone else love knipex?

    I love the cobras, I keep a pair of the 125mm ones in my pocket at work and have most of the other sizes in my toolbox. I’ve been using them for about 6 years now and they have pretty much made my visegrips and stillson redundant. I’m still surprised somedays by how well they grip and have...

    Who still uses corded tools, and what’s in your collection?

    Angle grinders, the cordless versions aren’t too bad but I feel they aren’t as powerful and the batteries don’t last long enough for heavy use. They are also longer and don’t always fit into some parts of the car I might be working on. I also have a corded router and SDS drill Sent from my...

    World's best oil filter wrench video?

    I’ve used one of these almost daily for 6 years. Robust and it fits into some tight places. Worth every penny! And it hasn’t melted Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Are lithium cordless tools creating more theft opportunities

    I think most of the people stealing cats or DPFs around here will be using some sort of cordless saw or grinder Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Overalls, bang for the buck

    Dickies are good, just make sure to get the ones with a zip, i think they are thicker than the ones with just buttons. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I just saw Expert-tools on MAC,they are good or not

    Its called Britool Expert in the UK, i believe that stanley did away with the Britool brand and launched this as its replacement. It can be had for much cheaper if you shop around online, my MAC guy charges through the nose for what is essentially a budget brand. I wouldn't rate the quality...
