The small catalogs are so odd. Like they used their own (kind of terrible) search function for some unknown terms and then took a screenshot of whatever popped up. I keep meaning to change the preference for my account so that they don't send any more mail. I'll probably do that now.

Really strange. Almost like nail clippers. This video seems to imply it's for making rounded cuts that won't have sharp edges: Interesting approach. This is the best thread on this site.

It might be better to not go all in upfront in case the job isn't a good fit. If he doesn't have the basics, sure, but you could instead check in with him at intervals to see if he needs anything.

Did you name the thread after their website? https://jtctools4tesla.com/ I'd never heard of them. It looks like those foam sets are probably locked behind an employee-only page. My only observation is that the cutout for the steel brush isn't well thought out. :p After the first use, the...

Whoops, different handle and some lazy googling! My point stands, but is completely unrelated to this thread. Carry on.

The ebay price is silly, but an 88-tooth ratchet made in USA back in 2014. Not bad Craftsman... I'm seeing one report that they sold a set of all three drive sizes for $80? I couldn't afford tools back then so I didn't even know what I missed out on. Ten years later and we're paying four or five...

These aren't quite what you're looking for, but they have the same action: Lisle 47900 KTC ABX-32 The tips on the ktc pair are replaceable and I think it would be really funny to put some Mr. Potato Head hands in there.

That is a goofy looking pair of channellocks. Hope they serve you well!

I'd like to see TTC or PF break one of those for science.

I genuinely dislike chrome. I hate being blinded when the sun reflects off my tools.

I think their shipping is $10. You could save yourself $50 worth of stuff you don't need.

Wright 6425 for anyone wondering. Always wanted one of those, but 3/4" sockets are too thick to fit on most things around here.

I wonder if a company could make what would essentially be a massive pin vise. Maybe 2.5' long and wide enough to grab a ratchet handle. Take the wobble out of the cheater pipe equation.

There is a dedicated tool for those clips. Search for an "e-clip tool". It's a flat piece of metal with little cutouts that match the clips. I do not have any recommendations for a good set.

How long until we see someone chop a snap on set in half to make standard-length wrenches?💰💰💰
