I’m in. I’m pretty close and drive by on a regular basis. oddly enough, I’ve been to their offices when I did some freelance right out of school to help them with a presentation. after seeing pictures from Mark Fox of a tour he did, I’ve kicked myself for never pushing for a tour back then...

Maybe an “unofficial” garage journal/epstein day Wright tool meet-up?

CAT Cleveland. But, non-flex. I couldn’t find the flex-head ratchets at the time. Flex-head prizes are the same as your screen.

Well damn. thought it was funny that they quote one of the better local mechanics in the area (my dad swore by them). Then I see the company is ”right down the road” from me. They are pretty close to the old Firestone plants (Bridgestone NA). Learn something new everyday. looks like it bends...

Surprised that didn’t turn up in my search before I posted. I was surprised that no one HAD. Little did I know.

Ran across a video this morning of a guy showing a CAT-branded Stahlwille flex-head ratchet. Apparently CAT sent it to him as a pre-release. I looked on the CAT site. Was able to find the standard, quick release with comfort grip Stahlwille ratchets. 1/4” and 3/8” are a bit less the KC Tool’s...

All of our stores were cleared out of Flex batteries before Christmas. Needless to say, great deal!

I feel your pain. Did that same job on my wife’s car this winter.

That’s a great set. Good fitment on fasteners. I used them to replace the door latch on my wife’s Mini. came in super handy on the two torx bolts to release the window.

I’ve been eyeing this since I ran across it looking at the sale. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Ha. I had that in my cart and then removed it before checkout.

Order #19554 is in. Another small one but, happy to participate. I’m looking forward to comparing the Fujiya pliers to the Keiba long nose pliers I ordered this weekend too.

These are great little kits. I have one and always feel like I need one or two more. Guess now’s my chance. Thanks!

Can’t wait to see how this turns out. My parent’s build a giant “swing set” in the backyard out of wood in the 80’s. It was two stories tall. Bottom was a sandbox with a giant tractor tire. The top was half covered with an A-frame style room on one side and then an open platform with slide on...

Thanks. Knowing that the inside and outside match does make it easy.
