used to remove the flat metal plate under a knob on a car - an old car I see two different types - pins and a rounded sort of slot I thought it might be fun to post pics of these tools.

Anybody know anything about German WGB wrenches form the 1970s or so? I have a few and am wondering about the quality. They are also stamped DIN 895 and have a triangular type logo on them. I found several threads with info on new WGB tools and their import levels, but it's all on modern stuff.

I have a Snap On 1/2" Breaker Bar SN18A with a date code 9 on it. The 9 doesn't match any of the date codecharts I can find. Any idea on when it was made?

I vote for Stahlwille...

- dunno where to put this question... I have an old VW Vanagon with a lot of cracks in the dash. I am wondering about using on of those vinyl repair kits with the little bottles of filler that you put in the crack and then heat with an iron to set. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used these...

They seem fine but nothing special, yet cost like a Snap-On. What justifies the $$$ for them?

I'm looking for decent quality nail-in wire 'holders' for a run of landscape lighting wire. The ones I have now are cheap and the tiny nail bends or the plastic clip breaks off. I don't have access to the back of the fence, so I have to lean over the top and hammer the things onto the back of...

I made the mistake of organizing all my tool chests, and of course I can't find things. I "lost" both my tubing cutters. I'm gonna give up on looking for them.:pimpflash So, what is a cheap, decent quality tubing cutter to buy these days? No HF stuff...

I need to get an adapter that is 1" NPT female on one end and that I can shove 3/4" plastic pipe into the other end. Hardware store doesn't have one and I don't seem to be finding anything on Amazon. PVC plastic is fine, Sch 40 or other Cheap, and I don't want to pay $8 shipping for a $2...

I need to kill some bamboo growing under a deck, so it cannot be dug out. Any ideas on a chemical I can spray on it? I want to do it before spring has sprung, so have a while to research it. Thx.

looking for down lights in LED - the ones that run off of a transformer all the ones I see with LEDs seem to be "architectural" which is a word used to increase prices AFAIK

I've got an old AC cord trouble light and I'd like to see if there is a voltage readout I can screw into the top where a light bulb used to be. My Google-fu must be weak since I can't find it. Anything on the market?

I need an oil drain pan that is no more than 5" high, and holds 12 Qts. Any ideas? I have to jack up the sports car to get my 6" tall one under there, and it's getting old, and so am I....

It is stamped DIN 895 on one side so good quality steel (or is that spec. for the wrench?). 14/15 mm ends On the other side is the mark below:

Ko-ken has these but only in 3/8" drive. It seems to me that the smaller fasteners are the ones that really need to be stuck on the driver. I see Wiha and Wera both have L-keys with a grip ring or a ball detention device. Anybody know of 4 to 5 mm ones in 1/4" drive?

Why? They seem boring to me - showing the tools features, usage, etc. - sure. I could maybe see a Nepors unboxing - once. Or something that comes in a Bubinga wood case - otherwise, NO

I set a trap with sugar bait, but am curious if that just gets the workers and if I need to call in an exterminator to kill the Queen? - it's downhill below the garage - I figured you guys would know even if it's not strictly related :bowdown:

I hear that Ko-ken has the "nut-grip" technology with the ring shaped spring on some of their Allen bit sockets, but looking at the Koken web site I can't figure out which ones have this. Anybody know?
