    Japanese tool boxes, chests & cabinets for car repair

    Things you Forced Yourself NOT to Buy but Then Needed

    I'll start... Ever since I joined GJ my tool purchases have gone way up. I can afford it but it might get me kicked out of the Church of Scotland. Suddenly all my SnapOn ratchet handles were obsolete, and I discovered I needed a whole bunch of special wrenches too. I realized my screwdrivers...

    P&C Tools 1/2" Breaker bar

    Alloy Artifacts says P&C was started in the 1920s, then became a subsidiary of Plomb Tool (later Proto). It was acquired by the Plomb Tool Company of Los Angeles in 1941, but they don't say if they continued using the original trademark to stamp the tools. It folded in 1960. I am wondering if...

    10mm ratcheting flex head wrench

    Ideas on a quality brand? I just need a 10 mm - nothing else. Snappy is too spendy. Armstong seems dead; not a fan of HF or Gearwrench Facom, KTC, Tone(?) - not sure what is out there as searches keep bring up non-flex head (fixed head) wrenches Thx.
