    upgrade from Wright 3430 to Snap On 3/8 in 1/4 body.

    I like the Wright 3430 but I find it a little lacking as it has a tendency to change directions on me while I’m using it in confined spaces. According to Amazon I ordered it on 10/27/13.

    Is it wrong of me to stop "just fixing things" for the kids?

    My fiance has 3 boys 11, 9 and 8. Sunday I was swapping hard drives in the XBox and blowing out the dust when I told her "I think I'm done just fixing things for the boys". She said like all together? I said no but I think that they should be out helping when I do. They were with their dad...

    Mom made the right choice, USA tools

    Yesterday I took my mom to Menards for some Vinyl siding and she needed a new release tool and snap lock punches. I pointed out that Malco were USA made and she spent about 5 dollars extra for the pair. Thanks to her efforts someone here in the states gets to keep their job!

    Battery powered envy

    What tool do you wish your favorite brand made that another manufacturer already makes or you wish they would make because honestly it wouldn’t be that hard for manufactures to make. I used Makita 7.2 & 9.6 when I lived at home that was dad’s brand, when I got my own cordless tools I bought...

    I picked this up today for 1 dollar, a quick google search and a GJ search gave no results. It has a 15/16 hex bolster. Is it part of a set or a specialty tool?
