    This is one NICE inch pound screwdriver. I love it. I got 3 of them for $210. I don’t know why I did it I thought it was a steal and he had three available so I made an offer for all three. I gave my dad one. The Internet has them listed at much higher prices. I did plenty of research and I saw...

    High quality die holder

    I know you’re asking about die holder, but i just wanted to second Lisle for taps. Lisle Tap sockets are a life saver when tapping threads that are in a pocket or recessed area.

    Punch for a press

    Replacement punches for arbor dies or any other die set including punches with urethane strippers can most likely be ordered from Misumi. The upper pad of a die gives the material support, holding it still, and allowing the punch to withdraw without tuck-ups. If you have tuck-up problems...

    A 1/4 drive Wright set I scored for $30. Items were all sealed in plastic when it arrived. Also I bought 2 Wright Premium double pawl ratchets 3/8 drive. Why buy one when you can have two? Lol I've learned my lesson on pear heads with a lever switch. 1/4" especially, but 3/8" also. Too many...
