    Are HF Bremen Locking Pliers Really That Good?

    I have a few pairs. The 6" long nose have only been used a few times, and the teeth are mangled. The curved jaws have held up only slightly better. My Chinese made Irwin ones have been fine. Wouldn't buy the Bremen ones again.

    Filling in socket sets, What brand is good these days? Looking for singles

    Hop on Amazon. Gearwrench, Tekton, OEM Tools, Genius, Craftsman, etc. Can find singles to fill in sets. Will probably last forever, especially if they aren't getting used much.

    Replace bit portion of bit socket?

    I broke a Gearwrench torx bit. Pounded it out with a punch then pressed a new torx bit in with a vise. Quick and easy.

    Nut setter advice

    I use Dewalt and Makita. Short ones are Dewalt, long ones are Makita. Haven't had a problem with either. Usually only use 1/4", 5/16" or 3/8". None have broken or rounded out and magnets are still strong.

    Ace Hardware Stores and Craftsman...

    The only way you are going to find made in USA Craftsman tools is if you go to stores that don't have a lot of customers. Craftsman tools haven't been made in the USA in awhile. They were being made in China well before Stanley Black and Decker bought em. Honestly the last years of the USA...

    Craftsman Phillips head socket bit replacement

    Punch the bit out from the drive end. Tap new bit in with a block of wood and hammer or use a vise to press it in. Can buy any bit you want on Amazon.

    looking for a set of screwdrivers to keep on my workbench

    Look around on the internet. There are a lot of screwdriver sets like the one you linked. Might be able to find one for around $10. Buy it and use the holder on your work bench for your Craftsman drivers.

    I Think Tekton Screwed the Pooch with Their Reversible Ratcheting Stubby Wrenches

    Another vote for the Blackhawk set. They are excellent wrenches.

    Allen wrenches that aren't garbage?

    I've been using an Allen brand hex key set for the last 3 years and haven't had any issues with them. Only complaint is the holder wears out and the smaller sizes fall out easily. Maintenance guy so I use them on door handles, door closers, hvac stuff, used em as punches a few times. Quite a...

    Favorite ratchet and why?

    An old Williams B 52 superratchet. Got it for cheap at a yard sale. Love how it feels in the hand. Smoothest ratchet I own.

    Man size handles for screwdriver

    Proto duratek or the Dewalt, Stanley or Craftsman version of them. Milwaukee handles are a little bigger than normal.

    Can You Still Buy Old Style Multi Driver Bits?

    Do a google search for round shank screwdriver bit. They have some on Amazon. Not sure if they're what you're looking for or not
