It IS a monster....when the box arrived, I thought they had mistakenly shipped me a baseball bat! :lol: It's actually longer than my 1/2 in TQ wrench.... Cheers, Tom

Three Armstrong Flex Ratchets! Ah-ah-ahhhhhhh.... :p Thanks HJE :beer: Cheers, Tom

Order #27373, full of Armstrong goodness :thumbup:

+1 :thumbup: I have several at work, and they are very durable and comfortable when fitted properly. You should always have them sized to your body type - IIRC there are "A, B and C sizings" available that translate roughly to small, medium and large. On the back of the upper frame, there are...

Thanks for all of your replies! Hmmmm........the local used market around here is very slim pickings for tools most of the time, and it seems whatever is listed they usually want too much for :(. A used IR in either the T or QT version sounds like it would be a rational choice that would last...

Hi All, I'm looking to pick up a decent 1/2in Impact for home use. I used to have an older CP gun, but it was donated to the BIL some years ago and I've never replaced it. I've been reading the various posts here trying to decide on which way to go - new 'cheaper', or 'better' used...

They were ordered from brand new stock, so as far as I know they should be the most current. IIRC the sideways S may have had something to do with when Stanley took over Proto - some of my deep SAE's from the very early 80's that were made in Canada don't have the extra stamp at all and sport...

I finally got the last few Proto sockets to complete my 3/8 metric tray - 6pt standard, 12pt deeps :beer: 3/8 metric and SAE are now covered, moving onto 1/2....... Cheers, Tom

A very small island indeed! Welcome to GJ :beer:

Not all from today, but accumulated over the past few weeks - PA - 3/8in Click Torque Wrench - KMS - GearWrench 81214F 3/8in 84T Full Polish Offset Flex Handle - PA - ProPoint 1/4in micro ratchet and bit driver set (same as the Titan version) - Snappy Truck - not new, but had 3 of my 3/8in...

Ha! You could probably hit me with a rock without trying too hard - I'm out in Central Saanich, Keating area :beer: John in OH - I wonder if the US Napa Carlyle is from the same supplier as the CDN Napa UltraPro lines? I have no idea who might produce the more 'budget friendly' Napa Evercraft...

I only recently spoke to them about some warranty stuff, so I am not sure about if and/or what they may retail out of the storefront. I would hazard a guess that if they do public retail from that location, their pricing would be in line with what the local drivers run with. But it might be...

I'm in the same boat (or rather 'ferry') :p Same as LORDDiESEL, I'm mostly online for the better deals but I do go local for some things here and there. I've gotten some Proto and GearWrench filler items through KMS, but find their stock levels for Proto fairly limited. If you do go Proto...

Found it! Junction, UT at the corner of S Main St and E100 S St...

I agree with Mohawk Dave that a 10" adds a lot more versatility vs an 8". I used to use an older Craftsman 10" non-slider for small cuts, but with so many renos I have going around the house, I moved to a bigger Makita 10" compound slider (LS1016). The non-slider could not cut a 2x6 flat without...
