Electrical worq? Electrical worx? We're all very confused.

In the Project Farm video on the thread restoring sets, the sets from Lang, Gray, and CTA were made in the USA. The bolts from all three sets performed similarly, but the nuts from Lang outperformed the other two. Sadly, he did not test the files. The Gray kit is discontinued, but the other two...

I am also curious to know. I like the color of the KTC grips. Very easy to spot in a pile of tools.

TONE rebadges them as well. CLP-150 with green handles.

You have so many... You should buy a standard wrench organizer and pop them in. That would be pretty funny to see.

I have been eyeing a couple Klein items. 514-8 slip joint hose clamp pliers. For those weird wire hose clamps. Pretty sure this is the model mcmaster ships. Insulated cable cutters. I think 63225RINS has 2 layers of insulation while 63050EINS has 3. Two is probably fine for me. $199 free...

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.
