    Best Bare Handle Pliers?

    I'm in search of a good, high quality set of pliers, bare handle, duckbill and flush cutting, preferably polished stainless, preferably from a country with ethical work practices. I'm a fan of German and Japanese tools, but the usual suspects don't have much listed for me. At least, not at...

    Wright wrench flaws?

    This reminds me of a thread I created a few years ago about my Snap-on flex head ratchet having it's handle mounted crooked, or the flex head itself was crooked, can't remember. Everyone jumped in my *** about that, good times. I do have a set of Wright Grips, but they're black (got 'em off...

    Does Anybody Stick Weld Anymore?

    Stick welding is done every single day in my industry (robotics machine building). It is done so often it can be annoying as you have to often clear the area so the work can be done safely, obtain hot work permits to do the work, and block off the area from light spill, causing inconveniences...

    Breaker Bar instead of Flex Ratchet

    Would anyone here recommend ratchet adapters? If you already have a breaker bar, and want to save a bit of cash, and have a small toolbox with no room for an extra ratchet, maybe a ratchet adapter is the ticket?

    What Ratchets to Buy Next?
