    Tools from the old world

    So here's another round of recent tool purchases. Combo of Chads, KCTool, and Amazon.de Loving the Knipex 85 01 250 self-adjusting/locking pliers. So quick and easy to use... probably want two to use two at the same time hah! The Gedore cable shears (that I'm holding) work really well...

    Tools from the old world

    Not to say I've been on a tool buying spree but I've definitely dropped some coin lately on some very specific tools for my business I am developing. Pictured here are three screw driver sets. I'll snag some pictures of the other goodies I picked up. It's mostly German of various brands--I...

    What happened to Armstrong?

    I love my MAXX flex ratchets. I only have 1/4 and 3/8 but I'm hoping that they hold up for a while. I use them really only when necessary for the locking flex aspect. Oh well! RIP!

    Pulled the trigger on an Armstrong MAXX 1/4

    I have a 3/8 flex MAXX and love it. Very slim head and the handle has a nice feel to it. I'd recommend em! :) I'm planning on getting the 3/8 and 1/2 socket sets + 1/2 flex soon. Just waiting till I have a spare $500 laying around.

    ^ I absolutely love this thing. My buddy has one that he powder coated purple and I've got a standard finish one :)

    Not too worried this is what warranties are for if it happens. I try my best to take care of my tools. So far so good.

    I've found that I can slide my thumb up and reverse it myself. Different strokes for different folks ;) I also have a good mix of other ratchets including the Wera 3/8 push through and Armstrong and mish-mosh of Craftsman ratchets. I like a nice selection depending on task/mood.

    Here's a combination possibly never seen in use together... my Wera Zyklop getting filthy on my buddy's Buick Grand National. We installed a FMIC, new downpipe, external wastegate, and attempted to do the crank seal but that didn't go so well. After using this ratchet *one* day I am sold...

    That's quite reasonable! Here's my recent haul from KC Tool, Tooltopia.... The pliers were free w/ the pry-bars so I can't argue with that. Wear 3/8 push through, Armstrong 3/8 flex locking, SK flare nut set, 600g Gedore hammer. I've also included a head shot comparison to show how damn...
