    HF Icon toolbox

    Fwiw all the guys here with the attitude of oh I just assume get a Snap On box at this price point. Well I hate to break the news but a Williams KRA clone box is priced at about 2500$ and weighs about 400 pounds. The Icon weighs 800 lbs. and cost as much as the Snap On KRA clone box that would...

    Bad Knipex Combo Pliers? Jaws leave a big gap...

    My NWS combinations I just bought have the gap. I usually use ironworkers pliers if I need to really grip on some rusty sheet metal and pull apart tack welds on my cars. I got the combination over pure linesman pliers because I thought they would close flush. I was disappointed when I saw they...

    1/2" ratchet in 3/8 body

    I just wanted to comment for anyone who cannot understand the use for a ratchet like the one being talked about here. They make now adapters that will increase the anvil size and are relatively low clearance. But as for the argument of why these ratchets are handy, well I can tell you I have...

    Best screwdrivers on the market

    PB Swiss just can't be beaten just proves that a perfectly machined and hardened tip will literally outlast anything. Same for Snappy though I find that the pointier tips fit poorer on imported good I work on but every now and again I need the pointier tip. You really need a set of both of these...

    German tin snips Hazet, Stahlwille, NWS..?

    Just my two cents guys at Chads ****** ToolBox wont even respond to my warranty request for these overhardened brittle POS overpriced pliers. Go with Wiss. Upper chip on last picture is darker because these pliers came with that chip and made it through quality control. What a ******* joke. <a...

    PB Swiss Tools

    I am a total Snap On guy and this is what My experience is. I would not pay for a set of Snappy drivers when I could get a Williams set at a fraction of the price. I did have a #2 Snappy driver standard length it had teeth that were obviously protruding and they seem to fit better than the...

    who makes MAC multimeters???

    They are made in Korea better yet they are reasonably priced so it looks like a viable option for anyone. Not saying Mac does not cheap out sometimes but not on these units. Hell all my Korean shoes from the 90's are still holding up, Lol.
