I am replacing an 84 epiq for a macsimizer 7530+hutch and a5930 with top box to replace and due to space this setup actually makes more space and I do like the extra wide drawer of the 7530 and not so many narrow drawers And yes I have looked at snap on epiq mr big but not liking the usuable...

I am looking to upgrade my epiq 84 for a 75 macsimizer with hutch and 5930 top and bottom I do like drawer layout over snap on but hard to find information as it seems snap on boxes are 8:1 ratio over Mac tool boxes and not really liking the matco 6s What is your opinion on these as the few...

I can see as a lot more coming out as these locking needle nose are looking good and maybe a contract with snap on for first year just as Matoo with there hyperstep drill bits and maybe so as snap on is starting to produce there own taps and dies and extractors as completely different than the...

Just curious if snap on took over production as these are now available thru website https://shop.snapon.com/product/supplemental/6-1-2%22-Long-Nose-Locking-Pliers/LP5LN

So are these still discontinued as Amazon and snap on have a good stock of these?

Yeah mine was about the same as the first time I used it on brakes for a Honda caliper bolt not even much torque

My issue was the spline ratcheting mechanism cracked and yes as I am not sure as these are really nice and surprisingly Mac does not offer these in there line up as my Mac dealer would sell but Stanley black and decker have very strange business policies and why I had to go to grainger

So I just had to warranty my 12mm proto USA made wrench and apparently they are discontinued but when I ask for replacement they send the black Asian made but luckily had one at Grainger but they couldn’t warranty for me from zoro even though they are the same company Any other have issues...

I just purchased the Mac precision torque ratcheting wrench bundle and noticed there is a ring to hold fastener that is very useful And a great selling point as my Proto spline USA do not have this and no others have I seen with this So I know these are same as facom and Asian made but who...

Yes hard to say since it is across the board as With there wrenches Like Bonney era where only stamped on one side of wrenches Early Armstrong era with v notch open end and stamped on both sides of wrenches To later Armstrong era with opti torque open end and last of USA And current...

So I have searched with answers to this as Matco changes manufacturing because they don’t make there own tools So the discussion is Matco hardline chrome sockets mostly As we know Armstrong made there where usa is stamped under Matco name just like older pinless Matco universals And...

I can say I am very impressed compared to snap on I do like better Proto for chrome sockets and unlike snap on Matco and Cornwell these have a deeper broch for socket depth and very simple design with nice chrome

Photo for torque wrench in question

I have been looking for 1/4 torque wrench for engine work and the atech is not being made in soft grip only the metal ones but looking at black chrome controltech but almost 1k My question is both use angle and degree measurements but control tech seems geared for industrial applications over...

That looks like a very good ratchet and hazet is just switching everything over to there hiper fine tooth and will be coming out with flex soon I am sure is this one locking flex?
