As cheap as a set of 12pt 3/8 shallow chrome sockets is, I'm surprised this is even a conversation. I'm even more surprised, given this is garage journal, that everyone here doesnt already have full sets of sockets in BOTH 6 and 12pt. Just go buy a set of generic Taiwan 8-19 for $25 and call...

I've found the opposite to be true in many scenarios. With a deep socket or extension I can use the flex the get handle down lower, Even more so than a straight handle, and the bent handle gives a little more clearance. Almost as if your hand can now apply leverage on a more even plane to...

I HATE a straight handled flex ratchet. My go to for the last 10+ years is the same bent handle flex head in this video. No, it doesn't work on all scenarios but I find the bent handle to be the most comfortable, offer the most clearance vs the straight handle of the same length, and you...

Report back with your impressions. I have the gearwrenh set in SAE and am considering these icons for Metric. Thx!

I feel your pain. We have a family mountain cabin about 3.5hrs away. Just remote enough to be secluded, but just close enough to towns to still have some tweaker theft activity. I WONT leave any tools. Many one day projects turn into "we'll finish that NEXT weekend" type projects. And yes...

TBH, When I ordered a few days ago my first thought was "share on gj!" Followed promptly by a cooler head saying "wait until the order shows up, order more, THEN share!" 🤣

I ordered from here a few days ago--a plethora of knipex (some o see are now out of stock). Considering the discount, the free shipping, and no sales tax... these were 1/3rd the cost of the best eBay prices. I've received a shippong confirmation so, we shall see.

This. I was born on the mid 80's and didn't start working on cars til about 2000, but use my tools for more than just automotive. My SAE sets show their wear, and half my metrics are still untouched.

Proto 4785 is a 1/4" sliding T with center detent. Makes for a handy tool in your motorcycle kit, or with various length extensions and bit set.

FYI Ares, Olsa, Mod-Box, ABN, and probably a couple more all made the same style of rail, and from what I've seen they all interchange parts. The only real difference is the name ether on the rail, and some brands short change you a few socket clips. The short and medium rails are an excellent...

How few? You can buy socket rails that only hold a few sockets, all the way up to an entire set. You can mix and match different drive sizes on the same rail as well. The right style can be hung on a wall or stood in a drawer for storage. These Ares rails come in a variety of lengths and...

I just ordered the Tekton 6pt 3/8 SAE and Metric shallow/deep socket set when it was on sale last month. It included a ratchet, breaker bar, and some extensions for $149ish shipped, plus 10% back in points. All and all, I'm very pleased with it. I have no use for the molded plastic case (they...

GRK I've switched over to them on many projects. My overheads garage shelves and my steel gladiator garage cabinets are all hung with GRK. So handy, and tougher than tough.
