I'm looking for a not too expensive metalwork punch set to include a center punch and various drive punches. My crappy Dasco set has disappointed me for the last time. I want to also purchase a two-hand spring-loaded center punch such as ...

The "GearWrench has the First Gender Fluid Socket Rebrands 2022" youtube vid by CP the Tool Addict shows a double-stamped 10mm deep socket with GearWrench and Pittsburgh markings on it. Can anyone explain this? Looks like HF is a discount outlet for Apex Tools? If so, I wasn't aware of that. HF...

I'm trying to inventory my tools and I need some help identifying who made this 1/4" flex head ratchet. This little gem might be 20-30 years old. It is 4-1/8" overall with a 3" handle, reverse switch is on the head, has a thumbwheel, and the hinge pin has a phillips head. The stamping is "<---R"...

I'm looking to upgrade some socket accessories. I'll call the joint style on the left a "u-joint" and the one on the right a "swivel". We all had/have u-joints. The problem with most of them is that they can bind up in use and are floppy. The best u-joints I have ever found are old Craftsmans...

Can anyone recommend a wrench organizer that accommodates large wrenches up to 30 mm? Either that or how do y'all store your large wrenches that don't fit in a standard wrench organizer? I could go with wrench rails if need be.

I ordered these MaxChrome Capri combos on Apr 30 and received them May 04. I ordered some Gearwrench sockets on May 01 from Zoro, estimated shipment date May 23 with no estimated delivery date. Free shipping on both. I cancelled a previous Zoro order because they kept delaying the shipping dates...

Capri has some WaveDrive Pros ... https://capritools.com/shop/reversible-ratcheting-wrenches-metric/ ... but I don't know what that profile does to bolt heads or nuts I don't want to scar up. Anyone use Capri WaveDrives as a go-to? Any other less aggressive (?) brands out there? I don't...

(No interest, offer rescinded... hope I haven't violated forum rules.)

OK, first question. Reading the... https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/can-anything-beat-these-pry-bar-set-for-this-price-range.494376/ thread, what other quality mfrs' tools might be hiding under the Hyper Tough brand at Walmart? The thread talked about Hyper Tough prybars made by...

What type are y'all's favorites? Bent ratchet, regular ratchet, t-handle universal drive all-in-one, or speeder drive? Astro seems to get good press here for their extensions + universal sockets. If this type is the most recommended, what length do I need for a Tacoma v6?

What are y’all’s favorite Vessel handle styles? https://www.vesseltoolsusa.com/product/screwdriver I’m thinking definitely Super Cushions for stubbies, and leaning towards the Megadoras for my regular drivers. If anyone likes Super Cushions over Megadoras for regular drivers please let me hear...

In an earlier post I implied that my next Gearwrench purchase would be wrenches. Well, I saw a decent deal on a set of GW 1/4 & 3/8 locking flex head ratchets and couldn't help myself. I wish the detents were crisper so now I'm trying to figure out if I can tighten them up a bit. Maybe a spring...

So what are these, just lower tooth count ratcheting mechanisms on breaker bars that also have a direct drive no-ratchet setting? Who uses them regularly and for what?

How much torque do I typically need for 1/4" automotive applications? If I need more than the 30-40 ft/lbs ratchet wrenches deliver, I'll stick with the impact driver I have and use adapter extensions. The design of ratchet wrenches is better for tight quarters tho.

I'm working on acquiring a set of Toyota-specific Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches and impact sockets for my Tacoma and I wanna keep it minimal since I have plenty of other general dicking around tools in the garage. I know my go-to setup will be sockets driven by my socket wrenches or my guns...

I found this in an outbuilding of a 1935 farm house in Needville TX. At first I thought it was just a funny looking leg vise, but the bottom is hinged. I didn't get to play with it other than spinning the handle a few times. For context, the area was settled by Germans and Czechs in the late...

We have another antique 4-globe light like this one in my back yard that I want to plant in my front yard. I was OK with running the power out to the BY light as I came through siding and was able to seal it up. My FY light will need the power coming through brick and I worry how to seal it...

My Milwaukee 3/8" M12 2407-20 is slow to get up to speed. I assume the brushes are worn badly. The Milwaukee parts list https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-06-2490.pdf does not show separate brushes so I'm guessing I'll have to replace the whole motor then, right?

Should be Strain relief It's electrical and it's in the garage, so I hope this qualifies. I'm replacing the busted bottom half of a trolling motor case. I didn't see the strain relief shown in the pic when I ordered parts. Can I remove this without tearing it up and then reuse it? If not I can...

What projects do you have going that you're stuck on right now for whatever reason? I have a Ryobi 1600 power washer that one of the o-rings on the pressure valve took a dump. My wife very nicely got me an o-ring pack in her latest Amazon order but they are too big in section diameter. I'll need...
