As some have stated already one advantage of building a workbench is that you can size it exactly to your space and not have wasted area. Of course the disadvantage is that (especially if it's the first bench you make) you'll be so proud of it when you're done that you will be afraid to do any...

Kind of a dumb question but did SK stop putting the green selector switch on the LP ratchet? What was the reason I thought it looked neat with the green switch... a little distinctive

+1 on not using alkaline batteries for anything long term storage. I have pretty much abandoned using alkaline batteries in favor of eneloops or lithium primary batteries which also have higher capacity and don't leak. They are more expensive but for just a few items that are stored for...

Big fan of SK. Count me in too

One time there was a small knipex pliers on sale for like $8. Normally around 30 or 40. I jumped right away and ordered 2. It as delayed a while (it said out of stock up front with no estimated date) but I did get the pliers about 1-2 months later no hassle Other related story is not a tool...

I have a pretty complete set of SK sockets in both 1/4" and 3/8" drive. For black Friday this year I was thinking to pick up a basic 1/2" set of sockets and ratchet to compliment and replace some of the no-name 1/2" stuff I have now. I don't really use 1/2" sockets that often mainly I just use...

Nothing too exotic here but wanted to share my "drawer'o'Knipex". Always love reaching in here for just what I need. Also a while back I picked up an IKEA Alex 6-drawer cabinet to put in one of my rooms. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out the label on the bottom said "Made in...

Thought I would bump this up with a pic of my latest Bosch roundup :)

FINALLY got my SK 86017 wrench set delivered last week! Ordered it on SK day 5 months ago. I've had half this drawer sitting empty now it is finally complete :) Unfortunately, even after waiting 5 months for a newly made set, it is not without problems (this is the 2nd time I have ordered...

Guess it depends. But if you're looking mainly for automotive then I'd go with the stick light

I just got a central vacuum installed in my house. I have read a number of threads here on using a central vacuum system as a dust collection device in the garage. I understand the concepts that were brought up in those threads: central vacuums usually are high static pressure but lower CFMs...

So for those with this issue and have gotten the bit out, what is the mechanism by which the bit gets stuck inside?

Oh man the timing on that could not have been better!!! :willy_nil That was the kit I originally wanted but I waited a day too long and the price jumped from $199 to $299 (which is not a deal at all, it's $1 more expensive than buying both items separately!). Then I waited and got the 1/4"...

So today I decided to exchange my impact wrench. Figured if I'm posting here and making videos about it, then clearly it is bothering me enough that I should resolve it to my satisfaction. I took it back to Home Depot and told them what was wrong, and asked if I could just exchange it for a...

Anyone else out there still waiting for some of their SK day tools? I'm still waiting for my fractional long pattern wrench set. Last I was told from HJE was maybe by end of Jan, but that was also the second or third time they extended the delay. It's a little frustrating to have had to wait...
