    Hard handled SO ratchets back??

    No luck with the local Snapon guy, didn't get any hard handled anything. No ratchets and no screwdrivers.

    This Ebay seller

    Don't know if it was mentioned in the thread, tried to read the whole thing...but anyway ebay is changing the fees again to include the shipping cost. So sellers can still do this if they want, it does get you better search results, but it won't make you anymore money.

    What's with tight ratchet switches?

    I lost count of how many times I threw my C-man thin profile ratchet across the shop after it auto reversed and then locked up on me.

    IS it true

    Sears online shows them in stock right now: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00965398000P FWIW I have one, it's pretty decent and the textured paint seems pretty durable. Mine has a nice dent from somebody slamming the side of it, but it didn't even chip it.

    torque wrenches

    I have been wondering why they don't make a split beam with a pass through style ratchet head, where you would push the square drive plug through to the other side to use it in reverse. Did anybody ever make something like that?

    JH Williams Tools

    Is there a decent online source for Williams tools in general? I have bought a few of the ratchets off ebay recently but would like to find a more reliable source for the ratchets and rebuild kits for them.

    Expensive little torque wrench - but cool for bike work!

    Don't waste your time with those things. I own one, got it for cost working at a bike shop. Horribly inaccurate out of the box. I use it sometimes anyway just because it's so short. When tightening carbon fiber it just feels safer to have a really short wrench. It also has no reverse or...

    Really thin wrenches needed

    These guys were the OEM for some of the bike tool cone wrenches. http://www.thinwrench.info/6-double-ended-thin-wrenches Email about sizes if they don't have it listed there, they seem pretty helpful and responsive to emails. Some non-metric sizes listed on that page though.

    The only functional difference in his crank puller is the tip does not rotate like the ready made ones.

    9mm wrench/socket size. Any use at all?

    Lots of bicycles use 9mm nuts on the brakes and derailleurs.

    Craftsman redemption thread

    Not to start the bashing again...but I wouldn't recommend the thin profile ratchets if you use them everyday. I really liked them but they jammed constantly, got new ones several times from Sears and they all had the same problem after any real use. FWIW I used them 8 hours a day for a year...

    New snap on hard handles

    Perhaps SO took the request for hard handles a little literally? Bringing back just the handles and not tools with hard handles seems kinda weird...

    What is this mac screwdriver for?

    I made a tool like that to break into my Bronco through the vent windows! I guess I'm not the only one who figured that one out.

    Woody73's Mystery Vise (Dial-Up beware)

    Does it have two things to lock down the swivel? I don't think I've seen that before. Do Wiltons have that feature?

    Wera Zyklop Ratchets

    Does the ring on top that looks like a finger spinner function as such? I had been using a C-man 1/4 ratchet with those cheap multi colored 1/4->bit driver adapters that have the spinner, but they have no detent on the 1/4 square drive and go flying if you drop the ratchet! I like the idea...

    I guess it was ratchet day at the flea market

    Nice, I like the frankenstein. Don't think I've seen one before. The double sided one is nice too, been trying to find a decent double sided one new. All that comes up is those cheap plastic handled ones. Sorry for the thread hijack....Any sources for that double sided piece so I could...
