Looks similar to the kit I got about 4 years ago for~$10. Mine has more push pin and less screw types. Works good for the underbelly and wheel well plastic liners on my Mazda. The removal tool was a nice assist from using the screwdriver& pliers before. In some locations a washer under the rivet head to take up space made for tighter clamp down ( I used extra 12mm drain plug washers from prior vehicles). Amazon probably still carries a bunch of kits of different sizes. Good useful posting.

^ Let us know how they work out.
Snap ring pliers arrived yesterday, made in China as expected. They are pretty small, but I figured that would be the case since they had 5, 6, and 7 inch sizes listed.

The reason I bought them is because last weekend I was working on the car and needed snap ring pliers. I dug through the drawer and came up with a few pairs that I probably picked up at estate sales but nothing worked great. I doubt these Speedwox ones would have worked any better but they were probably worth the price I paid to have in the drawer. Should work ok for small snap rings.

These have been posted here before and I own a set. They are decent and save time if your using a 1/4" impact alot, they have held up for me:

When you check out, use this option:

And enter this code: VYMST4QO

You should get this price (except the tax may be different):

I feel like it's worth ~$30 bucks.

I'll admit to being an EDC knife and flashlight nerd. Glad we got that out of the way. The OKNIFE looks cool as hell but I don't think it would be better for me than my currect EDC. The OKNIFE is a chunker compared to my Gerber LST Ultralight (older model replaced with this dude.) My Gerber is way smaller and offers the same functionality. So what's the fuss that has you guys all excited? Is the replaceable blade a big deal? Is it just that it looks cool as hell? My Gerber knife seems perfect to me. Folded, it's about the size of a tube of Chapstick. It opens boxes and cuts things and does all the everyday jobs my knife needs to do.. and fits in my pocket like it's not there.

(Flashlight is an OLIGHT i3E, which also sits in the pocket like it's not there)

Edit: I bought the OKNIFE to check it out. I also found a knife smaller than my Gerber to check it out. I'll post back.

The Knect stuff for example:

I don’t care for the blade holder requiring a tool to use, and I want the blade to be locked closed so I don’t reach into my pocket and slice myself. I’ve settled on these small stainless Duratech or Workpro knives. These have a 20% off coupon currently.


Fenix PD26R ACE rides in my jeans coin pocket. I had them laser engrave mine.

No tool required to change blades on the OKNIFE. The pocket clip is also correctly oriented so when kept in the right pocket of your pants (like 90% of people do), the blade cannot open.

Just checked out that Fenix flashlight. I have other Fenix flashlights, including the E01, which is pretty much identical to my EDC Olight i3E. The Fenix you linked is bigger than I'd want for an EDC. I have to be honest with myself about what I really use the flashlight for. 90% of the time I'm getting home after dark and I use it to look into the mailbox. 9% of the time I'm doing unplanned repairs and I'm wedged under a sink holding it in my mouth like a cigarette, so the small size works. Then there's the 1% of the time I'm in the woods after dark and wish I had something brighter, but it still gets the job done way better than a cell phone. It does eat up AAA's.

Looks like they include a tool to tighten the blade screw. I’m one of those weird left handed people, the knife is clipped in my front left pocket.

There has certainly been some size creep on the Fenix in the last probably 17-18 years since I started carrying the P1D. I like a CR123 (buy in bulk for about $1 each) over AA or AAA batteries, now with rechargeable there isn’t a cost penalty. I like the interface on the current light, it remembers the level it was last used at and returns when you hit the tail cap. I did facility safety inspections for years and use a light a lot. I really like the output on the current model, it reaches out to the point where I can use it like a spotlight to find buoys if I’m boating at night. I still hold it in my mouth when necessary.

Needed a battery for my GSXR 750. Canadian Tire wanted 150.00 for one and 125.00 for one I put the acid in. Decided to give is one on Amazon for 50.99 CDN a try

Thought I would give an update on this battery I bought in October 2025 for my Suzuki GSXR. I purchased this cheap battery off of Amazon last year because history has shown that I will go out and buy a good battery for it for 150.00 or so, then forget about the bike for a couple of years, then when I decide to go start it up, the battery is toast so I thought it would be cheaper to buy this **** battery. I’m planning on going for a short ride tomorrow so I went today to take the battery out in hopes that it would take a charge. I tried to start it first, and it started, surprised me, pleasantly

Can't speak as to the quality, but a good deal nonetheless

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096ZH7K63?tag=atomicindus08-20135.jpg
I bought the 65 piece vevor 1/2" set last summer for around 68 on sale on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-10-24m...on-Storage/dp/B0CF9WD3KC?tag=atomicindus08-20. Some seem to be a little snug but it doesn't have any skips. I just bought the Quinn set for $99.00 on the 10 day sale @ HF both deep and small, havent opened the box yet. My rational was it came with both deep ,small sae & metric and seems to be a better deal than these smaller sets with skips. The quinn set has a lifetime warranty, at least it says so on the box ;)

I, for one, applaud the cheerful colors (I'm an absolute sucker for brightly colored tools, particularly orange), but they really missed the boat by not consistently color-coding the drive type. I can see how big the goddurn thing is, but if they had stuck with a consistent orange for flat, yellow for Phillips, etc. this would be incredibly useful rather than a sort of fun novelty.

Lots of pictures of cracked sockets in the review section when used as impacts. Still , someone who doesn't have a deep socket set , this could tide them over if they use their ratchet rather than impact.
going by the pictures, this brand and others on Amazon , the wall thickness at the corners of the hex broach on the larger sockets looks to be kind of thin and that's where they split. When searching for a small 1/2" set I noticed that issue on the pictures of many of these sets. Finally got a set on ebay with thicker walls.
