I know people like their screwdrivers. I am speaking specifically about Wera's Sockets and wrenches. When the discussion turns to sockets and wrenches why are Wera's offerings rarely mentioned? Is there a reason people don't like them or think of them? I see a lot of other german companies...

I have two of their torque wrenches already and wanted two more. I found this site. http://www.tbs-aachen.de/Manoskop_730N_c3334.htm They ship to the US and it wasn't to much to ship them. I don't know the exact cost for shipping the Torque Wrenches because I bought 3 additional socket...

I have the Gearwrench 120XP flex heads, the Wera Ratchets (standard not Cyclops) Raised Panel US Craftsman. I have heard that the Snap On ratchets are amazing. What is the best ratchet to fill in the holes in the above selection I have? I hear terms like Dual 80 etc and am not sure what that...

I just ordered some Alligator Wall metal peg board. What are the best hooks etc for these? What about the best way to keep the pegs secure?

I have a Milwaukee M18 2658 3/8" impact wrench. I want to buy a high quality air impact in 1/2" for high torque usage when needed. It would be nice to have the tool be as quiet as possible and I want to buy the best unit I can for a life time of usage. What would you recommend?

I have a quite a few Proto tools I want to purchase. I put them in a Zoro shopping cart and have been waiting for a coupon code to buy them at a discount. I got a code today for 20% off but I know in the past Zoro has done 25% and 30% codes. I am not in a rush to get the tools and don't mind...

I just looked at my Craftsman sockets I bought about 10 years ago. The 12 and 6 point sockets say GK and USA on them. They are marked using the technique that is NOT laser engraving. (Senior moment, I can't remember what that technique is called) The external torx sockets have the same...

I have two sets of wrenches for a long time. What can you guys tell me about who made them and the COO? The first set is a 0 degree offset non-reversible ratcheting wrench labeled Craftsman. They are a smooth chrome polished wrench with no raised panel. The only marking other than Craftsman...

I was pretty set on getting a set of Proto Reversible Ratcheting Wrenches but then read about how well the wrenches made by Wright that have the Wrightgrip work. Does anyone know how the Proto ASD design compares to Wrightgrip?

I had a set a while ago, my brother has them now. There is a time and place where they are super handy. I know Gearwrench made reversible, capstop, ratcheting wrenches for sears a while back but not now. Anyone know were to get both an SAE and metric set or a set made by someone else with...

I have a set of SK X Frame and also Wera Jokers. Neither of those have the handle angled up from the ratchet end. They both have a handle that is in-line with the ratchet. I want to get some new wrenches that have a switch lever and the handle angled from the ratchet. Should I look at...

Hey Guys, I am completely self taught. I have never had a class, course, mentor etc. So, I have never had anyone teach me things to do to avoid injury in a shop. I have gleaned what I have learned through common sense, horror stories, threads in forums and I am much safer now then when I...

I love the idea of radiant heat but want to make sure it is the best solution for me. I life in SE Idaho. I am going to build a shop. Either stick built with spray on insulation or SIPS panels. I am a hobbyist and am in the shop in the occasional weekday evening. Some Saturdays, but not...

I saw someone mention this in passing on another thread. Is the group buy still open or did I miss it? Where are the details? I need a 2 and a 4 post lift both.

I know Challenger makes a versimetric lift that works both Assymetric and Symetric. Who else makes a lift that can be used either way? I would like to stay in the price range of Bendpak etc if possible. I will be working on everything from 3/4 ton trucks to light passenger cars with this...

My wife gave me the green light to build my shop since we just finished building her quilting studio. I don't lack for space, we live on 10 acres. Realistically I wouldn't like to go bigger than 30X60. I don't have to worry about storing non-shop related **** like Christmas decorations in it so...
