    What's happening with Stahlwille

    Single item Open Box 14 wrench size 17mm. Sent from Amazon.de as partial delivery of orders on October 7 2022. It seems that factory employees have a lot on their minds right now, what with the hardships happening currently to the German economy. It is either this or the wrench that arrived was...

    3/8" drive good enough for all automotive maintenance provided a long enough breaker bar?

    It was the dinky sliding T-handles included on old Koken 1/2dr sets for me. That taught me how to use a cheater pipe.

    3/8" drive good enough for all automotive maintenance provided a long enough breaker bar?

    The sockets don't break. It's the 3/8 anvil on the adaptor that gets sheared off.

    3/8" drive good enough for all automotive maintenance provided a long enough breaker bar?

    Try the old school European route. Eliminate the 3/8 set. On my road box, 1/4 sockets goes up to 12mm maybe 14mm, then 1/2 sockets starts at 14mm up to 36mm

    Tools of Japan

    I have done one ratchet as a test. Purchased from Amazon.jp. Everything fit perfectly. Backdrag was just as smooth as the previous 36tooth inards. I kept the 36tooth mechanism as a spare just in case I need it in the future. There are two repair kits available on Amazon.jp, the kit that you...

    1/2 Socket Set Recommendations: Koken, GearWrench, Tekton, or something else

    Get 1/2dr deep impact sockets in 6pts then get 1/2dr shallow chrome sockets in 12pt. Koken for shallow chromes then Harbor Freight or Tekton for the deep impacts.

    Bolt head fitment of Hazet 600N wrenches

    I have those KTC wrenches. Not the Nepros ones, but the normal industrial versions. I particularly like using their DBEs. They are very robust and nearly indestructible even when working on medium duty trucks. Plus the rough satin finish holds up very well to abuse. Nepros DBE wrenches are too...

    Bolt head fitment of Hazet 600N wrenches

    I've been buying from Amazon.de for two years now. Just for my curiosity and wanting to try the top brands from Germany. The prices have indeed risen, even allowing for the price fluctuations from Amazon.de. It is the shipping cost that has risen significantly.

    Beginner welder looking for advice.

    I will add another tip here that haven't been mentioned yet. When possible, during stick or flux core, it is beneficial to have a portable fan with you. It will help prevent smoke inhalation from welding fumes. I learned stick welding first. For versatility of use in the field/outdoor works

    Flare Nut Sockets - Snap-On, Ko-Ken, Laser Tools

    I will vouch for Koken flare nut sockets. I have used mine extensively for over 10 years now. Sizes 8, 10 for brake line fittings, 17 and 19 for diesel fuel lines on Isuzus and Fuso medium duty trucks, 22 size for oxygen sensors. 8 to 19 size are 3/8 drive, the 22 is 1/2 drive. Not a single one...

    Bolt head fitment of Hazet 600N wrenches

    I am itching to buy a set of Hazet 600N SPC/10 wrenches on Amazon.de and was wondering how good the tolerances are. I already have two set of the Stahlwille Open Box 14 (8mm to 30mm sizes) and a set of the Stabil 20. Excellent fitment on bolt heads I guess my compelling reason for buying now is...
