I bought a few many years ago to try them out. 10, 12mm in 1/4sq and 14, 17mm in 3/8sq. I quickly found out I prefer to use a standard 6/12pt profile because of the extra play/rotation that comes with quickly ratcheting a fastener on/off.
That said, when using it on a power tool, like an...
Adding these photos to show what can happen. Whenever this happens, I clamp the blade in a vise and tap the handle back in with a mallet. It still maintains zero play, and as far as I can tell, the blade doesn't become any more looser.
I've found the stubby Anex to be my go-to for a few years now. Got the two stubby ones 9 years ago and I've added the others in the series over time. I didn't have the need for the latest pair, but I wanted a change. The Anex ones have proven themselves time and time again. 👍🏻

Im a bit surprised to see the plating process being shown. I think it an area that's typically not shown to media?
I recently decided to complete Anex's series on their trim clip removers. I spent the whole week using them and I've made my choice .... the PB Swiss will go into retirement...
Perhaps its a Samsung browser issue.
Reloading the page doesn't make a difference and there's never an error message either.
In fact, as a test, im trying to attach a photo on this very post, but nothing happens. 🥲
I was only able to attach one photo in a post I made this morning. I tried to attach more once I was able to attach one, but clicking the image icon above or the "attach files" button below provides no response.
Im using a Samsung phone and its default Samsung internet app.
Any ideas?
I feel like I've known about HJE for practically as long as I've been on GJ.
Some year back, I recall their website gave us a glimpse of their multi-level store via a virtual tour, but a video like this is much welcomed!
I saw them as one of the few brick and mortar stores left in the USA that...
First post in 12 months :hellobye: (a bit of a nostalgic feel, seeing that these classic GJ emoticons are still available :bounce:)
Random photo showing a Ko-ken 11mm bit holder with their T60 bit. That bit has seen some good use from doing wheel bearing bolts.
Ran into these old photos comparing height differences:

I think I've purchased most of my Asahi tools through i-Tools via Rakuten Ichiba.
It wasn't until a few years ago that Asahi added 9, 16, 18mm sizes. There still isn't a 20mm though. ;)
Do you have standard impact sockets in your storage/tool box that have developed surface rust?
I don't have...
Haven't seen it.
My comments on these:
GoJaks are great. Used a lot at my previous shop where there were over 20+ techs. It handled going over ruts and small lips on entry ramps pretty well. Must've been used for at least 5 years, without a hiccup.
Current shop with just 13 techs has OTC ones...
