    The Truck Tool Equivalents Thread - Gathering Data

    More info: I bought mine on amazon.co.jp on Nov 29 for 3,558 JPY. A lot of the English language reviews there mention Snap-On. But it looks like it's out of stock now. As you probably know, a lot of stuff is on backorder these days. If there's only one supplier left, that's most likely a scalper.

    The Truck Tool Equivalents Thread - Gathering Data

    Snap On ECPND032: KTC AL815V: There are some minor differences, but if you watch some youtube videos about them, it becomes clear that it's essentially the same light.

    Amazon is going to make major push into the tool business?

    Actually did. Might make a good set of beater pliers. One reviewer called the the crosshatching on the tips "too aggressive". 🤦‍♂️

    Amazon is going to make major push into the tool business?

    Gotta say, those long nose pliers look decent for 11 bucks.

    Would you buy a used torque wrench?

    Or, you know, check/calibrate it yourself.

    Multimeter stripped screw

    Pull on the cover or jam something underneath it while simultaneously turning the screws. The goal is to put pressure on the threads while turning the screw.

    Bahco digital torque wrenches could have the same internals as Snap-On? Bahco is owned by Snap-On and the Bahco wrenches are made in USA. LEDs, button arrangements and LCDs are the same: Snap-On: Bahco:

    Looking for a one person brake bleeder setup!

    I take out the bleeder, wrap the threads with teflon tape and reinstall it. Then I use one of these: The teflon tape prevents air from going back into the bleeder past the threads. Has been working great so far.

    Digital Torque Adapter Recommendations?

    I'm looking to get a bigger torque wrench that goes up to 340Nm/250ft-lb. Since I already have long 1/2" ratchets and breaker bars, one of those digital torque adapters seems like a good idea to save on having another big steel stick lying around. What are your experiences? Any recommendations...

    3/8" drive good enough for all automotive maintenance provided a long enough breaker bar?

    Was there any special technique involved? Somehow I have a hard time imagining it. You get so little leverage on those 4-way wrenches.

    OEMTools quality and service

    "To my dismay it arrived and the clamp seemed poorly machined with sloppy threads and the finish was not like in the pictures, but looked just like the cheaper sets."
