Well today I bought what I hope is a decent lid for my needs. Hope it doesn’t piss off all my blue hot glue guns.

If you cared about ******* off your blue machines, you would have got it in the plain black option. That red is just itching for a fight.




I have a bunch of LousBrews organizers. Good stuff, and great customer service when there's an issue, too.LousBrews
I have been tempted by that a few times, how do you like it? Especially when it went on clearance, I just kept reminding myself that I am waiting on a large shipment from Zephyr placed last year. They estimated a shipment date of 01/31/26, I need to ask for an updated ETA.
The battery holder looks like its 3D printed...? What did it cost?I saw this in a SEMA video I believe. Thought it was expensive but I finally picked it up for my Milwaukee topper light. It's a magnetic battery mount for M18 batteries.
Last week I needed a twin for my 12" Knipex as I always use them in pairs. I tried some harbor freight Doyles but there is a noticeable difference in their function so I ponyed up and bought the real deal.

This is a case where I had a specific job/use for it, and its perfect the application. The hollow ground flat-tips, torx, and SAE hex are all excellent. The handle and power adapter (being circlip) won't be to everyone's taste, and plastic box is probably 10 years old, tho...I have been tempted by that a few times, how do you like it?

I'm now thinking about maybe trying out my Wera long bits and see how they fit. I've never liked the handle of my Wera set, its too damn small for my hands. I really only need to carry a # 1 & 2, a small slotted and larger one plus a T10, 15, 20 & 27 security for a multitude on the little **** I look into. It would be really handy to have just one thing to deal with.They changed a fastener where a long driver is advantageous, a T27, $16 it's a light duty application so some Chena junk.
Time will tell.

Well I’ll be damned, that’s a winner right there. The bits are the perfect size/fit plus I not only have a handle that’s a better fit, it’s now got some mass to it so I can spin machine screws in like nothing. I just bolted back together a small ups I was testing / troubleshooting in nothing flat.I'm now thinking about maybe trying out my Wera long bits and see how they fit.

So you’re saying vessel makes a similar length bit? Thanks professor, I’ll have to see if I can hunt down the individual bits I’d want.Vessel makes bit sets that look to be about that long. Might make that a bit more usable for short $.

It really goes against my grain to break up sets and I’ve never seen individual replacements for this style wera bit.
ON THE MONEY!Just checked, and they're 90mm.















@bugnut -new thin wrenches thanks to "YOU PEOPLE"
That is a must have tool if you own a Jeep Grand Cherokee!

I tried to use mine the other day and I wound up needing 15mm which isn't in that set.@bugnut -
please let us know how those work out for you.
we have zero hands-on feedback from any members here about the DuraTech product line.
very curious about the durability of the chrome plating on those.
Thanks!









You know how much an electrician really has a thing for zipper pouches and Knipex pliers so I combined those passions and got a Knipex zipper pouch. Actually I needed something to bump a Zoro order to $50 for free shipping and this pouch was on the home page when I logged in.
It's almost like they are tracking me.
The other thing is these NWS grab anything needle nose I saw posted here. They look promising.
