I suppose it depends on which tool you look at. I was recently in the market combination wrenches, and this is what I saw; http://m.craftsman.com/craftsman-2-pc-adjustable-pliers-set-7-in/p-00945433000P http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001HW8AMK/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

You don't say? http://store.snapon.com/Instinct-174-Soft-Handle-Set-Screwdriver-Combination-Instinct-153-Soft-Handle-Orange-6-pcs--P645277.aspx http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001NQQCM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Can't imagine how cheap the Craftsmans would have to be for the Euro drivers to be closer...

I have a Klipsch set of powered computer speakers (two speakers with a woofer) than work excellently when plugged into my Smartphone or MP3 player

So it was nice to know that I could run to the nearest mall, walk into sears and get a decent, American-made tool at a reasonable price. Here is the thing; Bondhus and Eklind have always sold better hex tools for less. Channellock makes better mechanical pliers for less than craftsman. Smaller...

Well dang, There were some good suggestions here. It took a while for this tread to get rolling and I just ended up buying the blackhawk wrenches from Amazon. I kind of wish I had seen the suggestions first. The Blackhawks are OK; a little smaller than the Gearwrenches they replaced. I think...

Meter hanging kit, electronic screwdriver. I needed to replace my broken Chapman ratchet, wanted a ratcheting screwdriver, plus it plays nicely with new electric driver; the Skewdriver kills a lot of birds, ratcheting combination wrenches to replace the two sizes I wore out, and a pry-bar so I...

I am happy with the pliers, just not happy with the website that misled me. Could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere, but paid a few extra dollars thinking I getting the German-maid version. you may be right about the Felo handles and hydroponic fluid. I love mine and the way the tips fit, but I...

If you like the European drivers, you might also look at Felo

That was me. My issue wasn't so much about their being from Vietnam, but that it simply wasn't what I ordered or what I would have ordered if I had known. I couldn't get All Spec to deal with the situation in a timely manner and I ended up having to use the pliers and couldn't return them. The...

Are they JIS (Japanese industrial standard) screws? They are similar looking,but not the same as phillips

Shortly after I got my job I had a bolt head that I couldn't get at with a Ratchet and socket. I ended up going to a nearby Ace and bought a set of 5 GearWrench flex ratcheting combination wrenches. As it happened, I ended up using these wrenches a lot. Having a few of the more commonly used...

Computers are a double-edged sward for DIY. On one hand car makers can use specialized software, passwords, license keys to force us to go to the dealer for repairs. On the other side I can use Youtube videos to figure out how to do a lot of things I may otherwise have paid an expert to do...

Meh, I'm 34 and I don't do any of that stuff. I drive a company car and charge oil changes to the company, but even if I didn't, I wouldn't change my own oil. It Doesn't have anything do with not being able. I spend 55-60 hours/week fixing other peoples stuff. The last thing I want to do on...
