    Grunge Garage

    Hey Bill, Just wanted to let you know that you have another person rooting for you. I had family members who were hoarders and it was hard to spend time with them in their home. There was no place to sit down, no place for kids to play, and it was stressful when it came time to make dinner...

    Klein Tools - Taiwan

    I too sent an inquiry to Klein about their tools, specifically their stubby 6 in 1. This is what Peter had to say: Dear Mr. S.: Customer service forwarded to me your complaint about our interchangeable stubby screwdriver, which is made in Taiwan. Several of our interchangeable screwdrivers...

    Klein Tools - Taiwan

    HD sells a Klein small 6 in 1 screwdriver that's made in Taiwan right next to their normal size one that's made in the US. Have to watch out and look on the back. I have one of their adjustables that is made in Taiwan. I would like to get one of their US made ones to compare with other brands.

    What type of tool are you obsessed with?

    Old adjustable wrenches. I've been mostly keeping with US made but I've been starting to look at England and Spain. I have more than I'll ever need but I like comparing different companies.

    What tools do you own for sentimental reasons ?

    I have a SK set, a hatchet, and a few other tools that were my grandfathers'. I also stole some tools from my dad and I that my daughter appreciates them when I pass them down to her. It's nice to hear about tools being passed from one generation to another.

    How to free up a stuck crescent wrench???

    I've used Liquid Wrench products and those seem pretty decent. I've also let them soak in diesel fuel.

    What age is good for a kid's first tool set?

    I've been giving mine my cheap wrenches and such as soon as she started walking and hanging out with me in the workshop. I built her a little workbench and gave her a little plastic tool box. She's now 4 and enjoys being with me out there. My only concern was when she wanted to help me fix...
