Home gamer here. I have a full set of 1/2" deeps that came in a socket set that i never use, I have probably needed one in 10 years. Spark plug sockets don't count as I consider these specialist sockets meant to hold the plug to remove. By needed a deep socket I mean a situation like this...

Despite not being anything spectacular, most pro shops here in Greece have them (sockets sets and spanners). I don't think they have official presence in the USA. They also have some special tools, mostly everything made in Taiwan My only force tool which does the job it was purchased for

The Hazet wrench adapters are great but you need good ratcheting wrenches (with switch) to pair them with, I tried many and ended with Facom. In the end, there's a Gedore red set (previously Carolus) with ratcheting wrenches that includes these 4 adapters and comes a bit cheaper with negligible...

Try drilling Swiss concrete with an 18V drill. A 6mm hole will take about a year and a half.

Its because companies know Americans have different warranty expectations than Europeans. A Wera screwdriver from a set broke, I sent them an email, they ignored it. I sent them another email and they sent me a replacement. Also note, dont expect a response email from German companies, they...

Its a mess. Here, in Greece the couriers race to the bottom. The market has settled on a 3eur domestic rate, and they do everything they can to enshitify their service: Late packages, force you to go pick up from them, fake delivery stickers "we didn't find you home" (its cheaper to have a...

Monte, you think the Knipex ergostrip tool is made by Jokari? It looks very similar

Hammer drills are the tool of choice when you drill through brick. You Americans would know it if your houses were made of bricks instead of cardboard. I think the problem with drilling concrete with one is there aren't any good drill bits, like the 3 or 4 cutter sds drill bits. Obviously an...

Following. Absolute best for car rubbers (door etc). Using it for 20 years. Silicone free too

Exactly. I'm in 3. right now, the "others". Most of the prices I see on idealo I can't get because most German online shops wont ship outside Germany, or will ship to 2. only. Or they will charge 30-45eur shipping to 3. that makes it prohibitive to buy 1-2 tools. Eg, no PB Swiss or...

IIRC they also have a set with these pullers, exchangeable jaws etc as they come in various sizes. Pick your poison.

Kukko are top pullers, best of the best. Wanted to buy this for my Audi wheel bearings but couldnt justify the price (about 150eur)

Give me a scenario where using these will be advantageous...

Surprised to see you've got those in USA. These are called here PZ/S or PlusMinus. They come in two sizes 1 and 2 and most electrical components eg MCBs have these screws now. Managed to break one myself when the slim version was needed and I had the standard one... Pics This bit you'll...

So, after 4 pages and 123 replies what did the OP get...? :rolleyes:
