I'd like that. I borrowed someone's cheap-o (Kobalt? Husky?) ratchet and it had a recessed quick-release button. I think of it every time I use a ratchet now.

I'd usually only buy ESD precision screwdrivers since I don't use them often outside of electronics, but it's nice to see a tool manufacturer with a modern website and prices that compete/beat amazon, etc.

Park Tool has a set similar to the Knipex. I can't be certain it's made in the US, though. I know at least a few of their tools are not. https://www.parktool.com/product/snap-ring-pliers-set-rp-set-2

http://www.redwingshoes.com/red-wing-shoe/6334-red-wing-shoes/6334-red-wing-mens-athletic-gray-green I have a pair of the above. The reviews on the page aren't great, but mine have been fine. The tread has worn out over the course of 1.5 years. I suspect that my sliding around the dusty...

Is there a country of origin listed on the metalnerd set anywhere? It wouldn't stop me from purchasing it, especially as there doesn't seem to be a full set made here, anyway. I think these are the Vim sets available on Amazon, though they may be cheaper elsewhere. Short Long There's a nine...

I was thinking about grabbing this set: http://www.metalnerd.com/catalog/product/1ba391592a4948a7826320147f7d70f1. Metalnerd seems to come up on VW forums pretty often. I'm not sure where they're made.

Hm, nope. I found the flyer I mentioned, which is for $5 off $15 or $10 off $30 when you sign up for a rewards card through August 28th. Hopefully I can find the flyer you've got.

Do you need their rewards card for that? I think I saw a flyer in my mailbox, but I remember seeing small print.

Slightly off topic: do those Irwin bits work as pipe extractors?

What's the appeal of this design? I'd never seen a ratchet like that. The catalog mentions easy cleaning, but it seems like they would also get dirty more easily. You could probably spin it with your thumb, which might be nice.

SK makes an impact driver? Could you link it, if you have one? Thanks!

What's the noise level like inside?

I checked the Wright catalog, but the longest 3/8 drive flex handle they make is 10.75". https://www.harryepstein.com/index.php/flex-handle-10-3-4.html Ah well.

Small bump (getting closer to the release, anyway), but I think it would have been really cool to see the Wright spline on the box end. Looks like the standard twelve point in the photos. I'm not sure if they actually put the spline stuff into production. The only wright products I've seen with...

Hmmm. I may use this to buy the 1/2" corded electric impact gun. I've read it's not incredible, but I don't have an air compressor, I wouldn't use it enough to keep a battery pack healthy, and Milwaukee's is significantly more expensive. Looks like the coupon still applies.
