    Hose clamp pliers recommendation

    Re: List of hose clamp pliers I see, the teeth on the Blue Point wear out easily because it's mild carbon steel, quite soft and cheap, probably cast steel. That's not adequate for friction mechanisms, which in this case suffer from a lot of torque due to the locking mechanism position. The...

    Hose clamp pliers recommendation

    The Astro Pneumatic 9409A looks great and have 2 mm diameter adjustable cable, while chinese ones only have 1.5 mm diameter not adjustable. However, the Astro 9409A is expensive to import here to europe. The cheapest I've seen on eBay is $40 plus $28 shipping plus $13 import taxes. In total $81...

    1/4" wrench set recommendation

    Finally I decided to get the Irimo 129-101-4. A deal for 82€ is good, this tools have high quality, plus I get the 1/4" + 1/2" combo. I already have a 1/2" set from this brand and is outstanding, but I was missing the ratchet, an adapter and some sockets. It adds also some quality bits and long...

    Need help identifying an adapter

    Luckily is just a 1/2" female to 1/4" male impact adapter. Buy a good quality one on those, since the bigger tool hits hard. Use also impact sockets too, and take care with them when stepping down sizes, it's not the first one I've seen brake on the side.

    1/4" wrench set recommendation
