Think you'll do an embroidered version of the PB Swiss hats?

These are all great insights, everyone. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. The Engelbert-Strauss and Snicker's stuff is pretty spot on as far as what I had in mind. Now if I could figure out how to get my hands on some here in Ohio, I'll be in business.

Cool, thanks for the tips so far!

For a while now my go-to has been my 3/8" Snap-On long handle FL80. My only issue is that some specialized socket tools don't have a precise fit and have some slop on the anvil causing them to rub on the heads of the two screws that hold the cover on the ratchet head. It doesn't affect the...

In the 150th anniversary combination wrench set, does anyone know why they chose the 13mm wrench to be the gold one?

That's awesome! It's always nice when you can find and buy the solution to something, but it's even better when you make it yourself.

Hi everyone, I'm a bicycle mechanic from Ohio. I like to tinker and learn more about different trades so I can try to DIY as the need arises. I really like hand tools and definitely have a few favorite brands. I've learned some great stuff via these forums after googling, so I figured I...
