My two cents. I pretty much ignore reviews that show broken tips on precision cutters. Many people use them for things they were never designed to cut, it's very easy for a manufacturer to accidentally make thin tips a bit too brittle, and any brand of small cutter will sometimes break if it's...

Just so you and others on GJ know, those two sets are almost identical. I say that because for 4 of the 5 sizes, the metric size is just the SAE size converted to metric labeling. There's really only 6 unique L-wrench sizes between those two sets. That's just the way the very small sizes ended...

I looked up the item on Amazon, and there are quite a few reviews with images that talk about the same issue. https://www.amazon.com/GEARWRENCH-Drive-Magnetic-Swivel-Socket/dp/B0014ZVSVK/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It appears to be a known issue that has existed for multiple years and has never been...

Not sure if it applies to your ratchet or not, but I've owned a couple quick release ratchets that had a hard time releasing, and in all cases, when I investigated it a bit I found the issue was caused by the center shaft of the quick release mechanism. On some ratchets, when the quick release...

A couple people have mentioned 23mm being a worthless size, but I use mine quite often. A couple times for non-automotive repairs, but I also have a Bostitch pass-through socket set that includes 3/8" and 1/2" drive equivalent pass-through sockets that go up to 27mm and 1-1/16" with no skips...

Thank you very much. I just used it. I haven't received a 20% code in months.

I skipped Snap-on entirely, because I dislike laser etching, they are way too expensive for the amount I will use them, the box end chamfering is too deep for my liking on the smaller sizes, and they don't make one of the sizes I needed. Instead, I first tried out the Sunex (Taiwan) metric set...

You guys seem to be getting quite a few 20% off coupons. For the last two years or so, I've been getting a steady flow of 10% off codes by email and regular mail and that's about it. Occasionally I will receive a 15% coupon (once every 2-3 months) but it's often only good for one or two...

You are on the right track mikey03, I try to do the same thing when it comes to specialty tools. I would personally recommend keeping your 14mm specialty sockets if you plan to do any work on Japanese vehicles like Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Mazda, Nissan, Infiniti, etc. because 14mm...

I just picked up two from Amazon for $74 each shipped plus tax (if sales tax applies to you). Use the slickdeals linked method along with the Amazon link to place two unique orders, for one jack and one pair of cheap but useful safety glasses to get you over $100 total for your order so the $25...

I find Project Farm videos enjoyable to watch, but his results don't really factor into my buying decisions. I'm very particular about the dimensions, features, and capabilities I want each ratchet I own to have. I can modify a ratchet for lower backdrag or a stiffer selection switch, so specs...

If I was in the same situation I would probably try one of three things. You might be able to achieve your goal with a standard hobby type metal detector, assuming you have rebar or steel mesh placed in your concrete slab. The mesh or rebar is usually placed towards the bottom of the slab, so it...

It is a shingle froe, and you're right it doesn't look like it has been used much. Probably because the blade was attached to the handle upside down.

It looks to me like the Koken power drive shanks that come with that drive handle are "Japanese style", where the dimension from the end of the shank to the machined indented ring is longer than it is for standard power bits sold in the US. I don't know if Koken has a US spec power bit version...

EDIT- Sold. I hope someone here got it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235713648198 Knipex 8pc forged steel body piano wire tipped snap ring plier set. $122.50 shipped. The same set is currently $181 on Amazon, so this Ebay listing would save you 32% off the Amazon price...
