    Misc tools for new wrench turner

    Another bump and update, My collection is getting more rounded, and I'm still finding more and more tools that I would love to have. If anyone has a ridiculously long 3/8 ratchet for a reasonable price I'd like to get one, fine tooth is a must on this and I would consider other drive sizes if...

    Craftsman Semi Deep Socket Sets

    It's funny that the Gearwrench stuff shows up online as K-D. I'd like to thank you guys for bringing the mid length Gearwrench sockets to my attention.

    must-have tool

    Re: must have tool What I consider the most important tool that isn't obvious is the pry bar, there is a lot of stuff that just needs a little extra nudge. On the other hand the pry bar may be obvious to most.

    Misc tools for new wrench turner

    Bump and update. I have most of what I asked for in my original post, now what I am missing are deep or medium deep sockets pretty much all of them if anyone can spare sets. I would also like to get a set of 1/2 drive metric sockets. There are still lots of specialty tools and misc things that I...

    Misc tools for new wrench turner

    Hello, I just started working at a small repair shop and am trying to put together a descent tool box of my own, the boss has tons of HF tools scattered all over the shop so I don't have to have my own tools, but I would like to have access to what I need when I need it without wandering the...

    I'm checking back to post that I started working at a small repair shop and now I actually have an excuse to acquire and use more tools. My tools aren't a bad habit anymore, I actually make money with them.

    I'm looking at buying this kit from enco mainly to have on hand for home use, is this the best deal I can get on an impact kit like this or does someone else have a higher quality kit available for a somewhat similar price?

    Good welding gloves suggestions needed.

    The elkskin gloves with kevlar stitching have an unbelievable amount of dexterity. I have a pair that I believe are from BSX but I think many companies sell pretty much the same thing. I recommend trying them on before you buy them if you can in order to get the best fit possible, for maximum...

    Dropping stuff

    If it's on the floor fire up a high powered flashlight, minimum 100 lumens, and hold it close and parallel to the ground, the shadows that it casts will help you find most anything on the ground. I normally carry a surefire with about 100 lumens max output, and it's surprising how often I use it...

    This part may be a no brainer, but it if these are going to be made to order then the drawers should be chosen by the customer, i e how deep and how many, you could have a package as a starting point, but let the buyer decide, same thing with the casters, with, without, or with casters and feet...

    USA Vise Grip spending spree!!!

    It's interesting that you don't even have to look at the packaging to know that you have an American made nickel plated VG staring at you, I can nearly spot one from across the store. This thread reminds me that there is one Ace within a hundred miles that I haven't searched, I gotta get in...

    Overseas Jack Rebuild Help Tutorial.

    Help, I'm trying to rebuild an old jack all I know about it is that it's heavy and used to be orange. This is what I found when I got it apart. I haven't pulled the seals out of the pump yet but I don't expect to have much better luck. Thanks

    Vise Grip Pliers

    I don't use my VGs enough to speak of durability issues with the imported stuff, but I can tell you that the made in USA VGs have better nickel plating on them and the adjustments are smoother compared to the imports. I hit all of the mom and pops I could find and had a very small bit of luck...

    Return of the Bionic Crowbar! You can get them now!

    I have used the nail jack, it is not much of a multi use tool, I ended up only reaching for it when a nail was simply too stuck for other methods of removal, because you can actually jack up the nail a little at a time, and don't need the head to do so it is very handy for finish nails and...

    It don't work but still casts a shadow, it could be renamed "the world's tallest sundial", but that doesn't have the same ring to it.

    "Elephant" bench grinder?

    I saw an interesting beast at the nearest hock shop today. It was an 8 inch bench grinder labeled for 110/220, 3/4 HP and some other info that escapes me at the moment, but the actual brand of the tool was not legible, it has a COO sticker proclaiming to to be from tiawan, and an elephant logo...
