    Im looking for a quality micro chuck that I can put in my M12 drill that will hold twist drill bits under 1/16". Ive seen several on the market but the quality of most looks dubious.

    Best snow boots?

    A good pair of boots is as essential as a good pair of pliers, yes? I need a good weather resistant pair of snow boots, not *good* as in the current fashion, but good as in good working waterproof snow boots. Every buying guide on line seems more fashion focused than function. I know y’all...

    Stubby nut drivers/spinner handle

    I’m looking for options for either a stubby 11/32” nut driver (if that exists) or a stubby 1/4DR spinner handle. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leveling up from a Dremel

    We keep killing Dremel rotary tools at work. I can sway a purchasing decision to get something new, but I'm not exactly sure what. I need something that is the next step up from a Dremel, and the ability to use Dremel bits is a must. Ideally it wouldn't be a drastic jump in price. Corded is...

    Date this Bonney socket?

    Can anyone give an approximate date to this Bonney socket? 1/2DR, 12pt, 31/32", marked "A31 BONNEY" with the Circle CV logo. (Ralph was my grandfathers name, curious as to when he bought this)

    No more Masterforce (Menards) sockets and wrenches ?

    I was in Menards last night and noticed that the made in USA sockets and wrenches are being phased out in favor of Gearwrench branded product. I hope the screwdriver rack hangs on a bit longer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wright Ten Point?

    When did wright use the Ten Point moniker? I recently scored these off eBay. Both are 1/4DR, 5/16" and 3/8" respectively. I'm slowly building a set of these uniquely broached Wright sockets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Odd vintage Klein pliers used for ?

    This sits in a drawer at work, and no one has any idea what they're meant for. The date code indicates they were made in the first quarter of 1956 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need thinnest wall 3/8" socket you know of

    So I am in need of the thinnest wall, 3/8" 6 or 12pt socket you know of. I would prefer a 1/4DR, 3/8" 6pt deep socket, but I'll take what I can get. A nut driver is fine too. I need it for tightening the nuts on a 1/8" wire rope Crosby clip. The nuts on that size are so close together that...

    Crescent screwdriver handle letter opener!

    This will go great with my bottle openers. And yes, I bought it this way. There were almost a dozen left in the bin.

    Who made these/when were they made.

    Recently picked up these two NOS Channellock drivers. 1/8" slotted and 3/16" nut driver, both with hexagonal shafts. Any idea of age and OEM?

    Hold on to your old Vaco's

    Klein has changed the handle design on their Vaco line of screwdrivers and nut drivers. The newer design has a less pronounced Comfordome on the end, as well as shallower fluting that also had sharper edges and thus is less comfortable in the hand. At least they are still making them, and in the...

    1/4DR cushion grip spinner handle?

    I've got about a half dozen spinner handles, but they're all hard handle. Anyone making a cushion grip spinner handle? Anyone beside Snap On?

    #2 pencils

    I have always preferred a #2 pencil for wood working, but I swear, it seems like these days I can break a #2 pencil faster than I did when I was five years old. They just don't seem to last a second in my pocket, or the tip breaks when I'm sharpening it! If you are one of the guys (or gals) like...

    Hole saws: integral arbor, or interchangeable?

    Pretty much like the subject says. Which style of hole saw do you prefer, and why? For me, for my own uses I like interchangeable, as it saves space, and I'm **** retentive about not losing parts, but I can't tell you the number of shops I've been in where it seems like they have 60 hole saws...

    Decision: Set of super thin open end wrenches, or super thin adjustable?

    The Toolguyd post about those Engineer Thin Jaw adjustable wrenches spurred me to make this thread. Quite often I run into the need for a super thin wrench for 9/16" and 11/16" jam nuts. While I'm tempted to just buy those two sizes, it seems much more cost effective to just buy a full set...

    1/2" slotted screwdrivers.

    Why is it so hard to get a 1/2" slotted screwdriver that isn't a foot long? Klein has one but the shaft is 12". It seems like I'm constantly running into plugs, caps or bolts that want a 1/2" or larger slotted driver. I know drag link sockets exist, but so many of those are 1/2DR, which is way...
