    Rapid Slide Crescent Wrench

    well you got a good deal on it anyway it's a shame that the American brand companies are having thier tools made overseas and decieving American customers with them ... i realise they state where it was made in small writing somewhere on the packaging ... it's just that you don't even think...

    Hadn't seen the Ernst Organizers before. Good tip. Thank's I use the metal racks most of the time because you are not limited to the size sockets on a rail. I like the rail system because you can take the sockets you need to the job and drag them around under the vehicle with you. I really...

    Why Torx Plus?

    I noticed Wiha sells the Torx Plus sets. My Harley has regular Torx fasteners and they are easy to round out. I wish these companies would standardize the type fasteners they use. If you buy a vehicle from an American company when you work on it you have to figure out if the fastener is SAE or...

    Craftsman Wrench & Socket ???

    I believe the Craftsman Pro series is just a case of you get what you pay for. In the case of wrenches you get more polishing and a little extra length and you pay a little more for it. The screwdrivers have a big soft handle and maybe a better tip on them and hopefully they don't end up...

    Anyone ever used Falcon tools?

    I bought a set of SK Spline sockets a few months ago. I really like them. They are the eaisest socket to get on a fastener I've ever used. This is a big advantage when you have to get a socket and ratchet into a place that you can't see. The socket goes on without having to turn it any to get on...
