The following was sent directly to jdcompman, via e-mail... I have seen your thread on Garage Journal, and I would like to address this with you directly. Our apologies for your frustration, and it is unfortunate that you felt this was a necessary approach to address the issue, however, the...

The information from afazz is correct. 950 is our series number for hex-keys, not the steel type, which is proprietary. However, as with any tool, it is not just the type of steel used to produce the product, but (more importantly) the methods used for hardening and tempering the finished...

The Lasertip screwdrivers underwent a running change from black to gold-colored tips. The difference is purely cosmetic (easier to see the laser etching against the gold color), and the performance is the same. All of our stock is now gold colored! As a bit of background, ACR was originally...

Suggest you ask the folks at Acument (formerly Camcar-Textron) as they are the owners of the Torx patents. As a manufacturer of the tools, I agree... it is a strange system.

Wera here! Yes, those must be NOS, as they were discointiued from our catalog program over 10 years ago. I'm sure they will serve you well, but we decided to change our system on these products and use an adaptor for 1/2" drive to 1/4" hex, and allow the consumer to use replacement bits, instead...

Not looking to play any favorites here, because all of our distributors do a great job for us, but, FYI, Wera products (including the new Zyklop ratchet program!) are available through Chad's or at www.mscdirect.com or www.mcmaster.com or through any Fastenal or Grainger branch as well. Hope...

Insulated screwdrivers should really be kept for the intended electrical applications, as they should also be insepcted (visually at least) prior to use, to ensure that the insulation is in good shape. If you use them for general use, and don't take proper care of them, then you run the risk of...

I am sorry to hear all of the frustration that people seem to have from many of the internet tool sources, however, someof your assumptions (they don't order it until they have sold it) are probably true. There are several of the larger distributors such as MSC (www.mscdirect.com) and McMaster...

Thank you Sir! Our insulated tool program is one of our best selling product lines. Every screwdriver is tested under a 10,000 volt load, for a safety rating against 1,000 volt loads, so, a 10 times safety factor. Again, we have funny looking handles... but if it keeps you from getting that new...

Well, at least we're showing up, and, hopefully, bringing something interesting with us... It ain't over till it's over.

Stuey, Thanks for the support, and you are absolutely correct. This is our first entry into the ratchet market, and I'm sure that, over time, you will see refinements in the product. As far as our target market, it is predominantly the professional technicans, that would be using this product...

My problem is that I have 2 sons that like to "borrow" my tools, so the doozie ain't what she used to be... Thanks for the hospitality! I think I'll stick around... it's been fun so far!

I think the fish are still here... Thanks! Actually, all of the products are manufactured in Europe, and our facility here is the North American sales/marketing/distribution center.

We thank you all for your interest, and we are also as excited about this new product! Unfortunately, it will not be available in North America until approximately November 1st, 2008, as we are following the European launch. When they are available here, you can find them through...

It is (hopefully) an improvement on about five existing ideas, with the additional feature of much faster working speed. This product combines: 1-Flex-head ratchet (as shown above),however, with 5 distinct locking positions. This prevents unwanted slipping under torque, and the associated...
