    Grip Edge star sockets....worth it?

    And the MAC RBRT seem to be relabeled Grip Edge. A Grip Edge bit in a MAC socket. Anyhow, the star design itself seems to have lots of bite by design. Thats the point to using that kind of hardware over a hex in the first place. Hex is very prone to rounding out so I see a place for the Grip...

    Need to extend a part of the wiring harness on my car to relocate a component

    So there is a "female pigtail socket" (for lack of a better word) that plugs into the "male socket" of the power steering module on my car (2013 Camaro SS). I seek to relocate the module a few feet away and needless to say, the existing harness as is won't reach. I would love to solder in...

    Flex head torque wrenches...I don't get it.

    The whole point to a flex head ratchet is to break loose with the ratchet straight then bend the ratchet to use it as a speeder. Thats my experience anyways. No good way to break loose when flexed. The socket wants to jump off of the fastener. Maybe I'm missing something or doing it wrong...

    Are these legit?

    I was gifted these. They look unused. The pouch is like new. But…. No name at all on the files. And, I’ve never seen a snap on file or any other tool for that matter with a wooden handle like this. So, is this actual snap on product or is this a snap on pouch with non snap on product inside...

    How long to go with the extension collection?

    In your arsenal of extensions, in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive, how long do you go? Not talking about any specific job. I'm talking about having on hand in the toolbox at all times. I have some ideas as to what makes sense to keep in the toolbox and what does not, but I want to hear about what...

    Help me organize THIS drawer…,Part 2

    Screwdrivers. Phillips and slotted. No torx, no Allen or anything else. 90 in total. Drawer measure 19x22x3.5 They must all stay in this drawer. What would you do? What is in the pic is the best I can come up with, so far. I can live with it, but I want a more organized layout.

    Low profile socket and ratchet vs ratcheting wrench...

    Been seeing some Snap-on low profile socket sets that come with a special ratchet that is made specifically for the sockets. The sockets and ratchet are made for each other and are not usable with other sockets and ratchets. But then I got to thinking, how is this set up any better than a...

    Can anyone help me find one of these?

    No name on it that I can find. Not sure what it’s called, so I didn’t have any luck on google. I have 1 and want another. The screwdriver hanger on the side of the tool box.

    VIM has some duds and some gems. This one is a GEM!

    1/4 inch drive ratcheting thumb wheel with a built in 2in long wobble extension that swivels. Very cool.

    Posi Grip Ratchets? They look interesting…

    Made in USA, lifetime warranty, gearless ratchets. Sold on eBay for a fairly reasonable price. They get good reviews. Anyone here have any experience with them?

    Cornwell Hex bit sockets. Any good? Prices seem low.

    See the pic. Compared to the competition, ie Snap on, these are LOW prices. Is the quality equally low? They are “Cornwell” as opposed to the “Blue Power” economy line. My dealer says they are supplied by Professional Tool Products. Not sure what to think of them. Part of me wants to...

    Bondhus ProHold socket bits

    So I bought a couple of these sets. I thought the idea was good in that I can put a wrench or socket if the bit. Whichever suits the moment best. And they have come in handy a time or two. Then I started looking at the smaller sizes and it occurred to me that I don’t even have wrenches and...

    Sometimes I feel like tools are addicting.

    In particular USA made chrome tools. Lest face it, a good deal is VERY hard to pass up even if it is not technically needed. Then I think about other addictions that cost a bit of money and leave you with nothing to show for it...ie...video poker, traveling, hookers, strippers, smoking, booze...

    Professional Tool Products...any good?

    They seem to supply Cornwell with much of their product. That being their Cornwell line and their Blue Power line. They seem to be an importer rather than a manufacturer. But, I can't find hardly any info on them.

    Foam organizer trays that tools come in these days. Do they hold up?

    Seens like more and more the tool vendors are supplying their product in foam trays, seemingly intended for more than just transportation and storage by the vendor and manufacturer. It is as though the idea is that the end user will use them long term. But do they last?

    Looking for extensions with a universal joint on the end

    Preferably chrome since they won't be for impact use. But, all I can find is impact so far. Other than the VIM dual universal jointed chrome extension, I'm not finding much. Interesting, it's not quite what I have in mind. I am literally just talking about an extension with a permanently...
