Trying to find a very compact ratchet and socket case or holder to save space and weight in my go-n-fix-it bag. smaller jobs only so 1/4" or 3/8" size most likely the kind needed. any ideas? i saw one manufacturer (teng tools) that actually has made the idea i had several years ago myself...

those are ZEN gardening tools obviously.. named them "true temper" and all. and those wooden handle ones.. wow.

i would do the magnet and bar thing. friends dad had a diy metal clip that fit on his own cars doorjamb and pressed the button down. basically a wedge. (the switch was in the hinge side). but: remove the ground, fuse or bulb is the normal easy method. if thats too much hassle just plug in...

thanks for measurements of the wrenches. ps. i like g-bodies too. i have 1980 cutlass calais. and.. mrpretty..awesome collection. -i envy- trolley of fein reminds me again.. i am so tempted to buy a fein multimaster 250q (the basic quickstart setup). accidentally stumbled up on a deal of...

those look like knipex alligator. so. yes they should be around.

the one i am looking at myself at the moment: stanley fat max pro organizer. shallow ones for smaller parts, deep for wire etc. others: sortimo. festool systainer. dewalt toughsystem. bosch Lboxx. (which is made by sortimo?)

Does anyone have Stahlwille open end ratcheting wrenches available for measurement? i would like to know how thick the ratcheting end is. i am tempted to buy the "complete" set they are offering in tbs-aachen (8-19mm). something in or near size 13mm or 1/2" would be nice. (so i can compare...

Hoarder. yes. i hate throwing anything away. someone might need it someday. specifically a "Tool Hoarder". not.(yet) but likely on my way there too. luckily i dont have the money to buy all the things i want and desire. i do get addicted to buying something.. like.. flashlights.. after 60 i...

went to local car parts and tool warehouse that has just moved to new location. i went there to idea-searching/windowshopping, basically just to spend half an hour browsing their aisles before going to work. they clearly have changed alot of tool providers now. they never had anything made by...

ooh.. neon screwdrivers. luckily they cost too much to ship to europe. (25 or so) .

beta 910 ratchet set arrived.. and was returned within hours. the sockets and extensions were classy and neat looking and feeling. the metal case was nice and compact. its carrying handle was plastic and little on flimsy side and bit too small in size for my mitts. but have to say the handle...

wondering if these napa tools like carlyle are available anywhere else.. (that sells them to overseas/ europe for reasonable prices.)

Hazet 3/8" set arrived. i was too late to cancel its shipment and it would of cost me 20 to return back to germany.. so decided i can still use the socket etc anyways. not a total waste of money then. everything in it feels very good and solid. sadly the ratchet just has too few teeth to be the...

beta c27s has struck my eye as neat option to hazet assistent (the collapsing "travel" trolley type)

are people still buying them tools in student discount and then reselling them for small profit margin on ebay/craigslist etc. (few american friends of mine said that they used to do this.. bought 3 tools, sold 2 and the 3rd they kept was practically "free".)

i use kitty litter. (the plastic granule type, it is silica gel over here.) i also use that inside the cars and such during winter time to absorb some of the moisture.

Hazet Assistent is legend. I know of Beta Tools c27s. very nice too. i especially like the two way opening trays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rtE8uViZxSY what other similar type of folding/collapsing trolleys are there?

So. damn.. i did eff it up. i wanted to have more teeth in the ratchet. i actually thought they all had more than 30 by now. FFFF +uk! oh well.. i will give the ratchet to my dad if i dont like it myself. (he is old skool, he prefers the lower teeth models.. more firm click he says.) the rest...

made my choice.. its 3 am friday night.. im online.. paypal ready.. normally i would say that is one of worst times to buy anything.. one makes bad choices at this hour. hjahah. midnite-shoppin is often bad idea. anyways i ordered a small HAZET ratchet and socket set. 3/8" version...
