    Kobalt USA made ratchets

    I see Cripes has some NOS Kobolt USA ratchets for cheap which is perfect as I'm looking for some inexpensive (but not garbage) ratchets for my trunk tool kit. I cleaned up on Kobolt sockets a few weeks back so I figured some Kobolt ratchets would match nicely :D Who made their older USA made...

    Original made in the USA Versa-Vise

    Hi, I'm looking for a nice example of the made in the USA Versa-Vise made by the Will-Burt Co. in Orrville, OH. Doesn't have to be pretty per-say but it needs to be 100% operational and complete with straight jaws that line up and are not damaged or heavily worn. Here's a pic of a NOS one that...

    Soldering gun recomendations

    I used to do automotive wiring professionally and still do some on occasion. I am a big believer in soldering connections (as opposed to using crimp connectors) but prefer "gun" style models over pen style. The best gun I've used is the Wall Lenk LG400 (sold under many different names including...

    Need a non-standard wrench organizer

    I recently picked up a new to me Snap-On KRA tool box set (4114\4107). One of the things I really like about this combo is the wide drawers and I’m currently moving my tools into it while trying to organize everything to make the most of the newly found space. Thing is, I'm having a hard time...

    Snap On Heritage series questions

    I'm looking at possibly picking up a used set of Hertiage series boxes (KRA4114 top & KRA4107 bottom I believe?). From the reading I've done they are pretty much bottom of the SO line but are still quality boxes? May be a little over priced new but I'm looking at ~$1k for both used which seems...

    How bad are the new Vice-Grips?

    I know Vice-Grips are not made in the US any more but I have a need\desire to get a set (4", 7" 10") of their Locking Wrenches (shown below). I figure I have a snowballs chance in hell of finding all 3 in either NOS or good used condition easily (and for a reasonable price) so I may be stuck...

    4.5mm (Metric)

    OK so we have a 5.5mm thread, now how about the 4.5mm? That one seems even more obscure? What applications require that size?

    Where to get?

    Anybody know where I can buy Armstrong's Pro series screwdrivers like the ones in the pic below? I know they are the same as the Craftsman Pro's and SK has their own version but I'm specifically looking for the Blue Armstrong version.

    KRSC46 vs HF 44"

    Never thought you'd see these 2 compared didja? :D The Scoop -> I'm not a pro nor do I have a ton of tools but I have outgrown my Craftsman top chest tool box. I am a big believer in buying quality tools (90%+ of my tools are either US or German made) but I've always had an issue with spending...

    Rust removal the easy way

    I don't know about you guys but rust is a constant battle with the tools in my shop, especially this time of year with all the humidity. Despite my best efforts sometimes my tools develop rust before I catch it. Now I have tried just about every method of rust removal including chemical (Naval...

    What's this drawer for?

    A lot of (most?) older top chests seem to have this tall narrow draw in the middle (like pictured below). What was it designed for or typically used for? Most newer designs don't have it but I'm curious why it was so popular with the older designs?

    When do you NEED a 12pt socket?

    I'm not looking to start another 6pt vs 12pt debate. We all have our favorites and for me, I prefer 6pt sockets and have never felt the need or desire for 12pt sockets. I understand why some prefer the 12pt'ers but what I'm curious about is I've seen some people state that they have needed 12pt...

    Craftsman Vise made in the USA?

    What can you tell me about this apparently made in the USA Craftsman Vise? What you see in the pic is all I know about it. I don't know when CM started getting vises from China so I'm not sure how old this vise is or who it was probably made by? Thanks

    Why does SO hate Blue?

    Is it just me or does SO seem to hate the color blue for anything they make other then their tool boxes? Think of all the Red, Black, Orange, Lime Green, Yellow and hell even pink tools you've seen SO produce but hardly ever anything in blue. Even when they do, it's usually limited screwdrivers...

    Car tools kit

    Looking to build a couple of car tool kits. Like everybody its a compromise between having the tools to get the job done but no spending much for tools that won't get used much (hopefully) and may get stolen. Anyway, I was looking at one of the Stanley mechanics kits that come in their own...

    So what am I missing?

    So I surfing through Flea-bay looking for deals on SO screwdrivers and come across some sets that are ridiculously expensive (more then normal even for SO) and sure enough when I check the prices for the same set against SO's site, this Flea-bay guy is asking 30% or more than SO is! The hardest...
