Knipex 87-01-580 XXL Cobras really don't care how many flats it has, or if it has flats at all. If it can turn, they'll turn it. That being said, I have the Lisle tool and used it all of once on a pair of tie rods I wasn't replacing. I should have bought the Harbor Freight knockoff one. If it...

Most Land Rover boots come packaged with a plastic clamp that sort of snaps together, I squeeze the heads together with pliers. If that thing breaks, I use a $0.05 stainless zip tie pulled tight with pliers.

If the outer isn't moving like this. It's time to take the inner off with a pipe wrench and throw it in the trash. Tie rods only cost as much as this socket probably.

I just tried to warranty a Kobalt socket at Lowes. Every store employee refused me including the on duty manager. The Lowes website says it has a "hassle-free lifetime warranty" but the store staff adamantly insisted that Lowes does not honor Kobalt warranty beyond 90 days (and only with a...

GLOVESNU6PRL 6-pack of nitrile rubber coated gloves. These are just the best fitting and most comfortable gloves I've ever owned. I bought two 6-packs over a year ago and I've only worn out 1 pair and am wearing two others - one I keep in the truck, one I keep on my workbench. I wear them...

This is unmistakeably a 73" Icon. I look at mine every day, can't confuse it for anything else. While I know the US General boxes are made for lots of customers, I'm actually surprised that HF doesn't regulate the vendor and require them not to produce their Icon box designs for other customers...

I have the really big Klein canvas bag that they used to offer with custom embroidered names, and one of those Klein tool backpacks that's kind of like a Veto. The toolbag is in my truck with more tools than I realistically need on the side of the road, and the Klein is full of home improvement...

If TTC shows that this thing actually has some oomph, I might buy one even at $600. My worry is that what their testing will show is that it's pitiful compared to a Thor or a 3050.

All kinds of stuff. Stuff where I might normally use an actual hammer, too. Like, knocking off a stuck (getting junked) rotor? I don't even hit it with a hammer if it's stuck, I just grab the Thor. I rounded an E14 driveshaft bolt last year and just got out the air hammer and chiselled the head...

I got an instagram ad for https://www.tvbmetals.com/ in Morgan Hill. Looking at their site, they do 4x4 half sheets of 1/4" for $235, which works out to around $1.41/lb. 4x4 11ga sheet for $78, which is just under a dollar a pound. I might go check them out next week. Anyone have experience with...

1. Foxconn was the largest private employer in China before BYD and Alibaba exploded in scale, and is still one of the largest. Being headquarted in Taiwan is pretty much irrelevant. 2. I said I wouldn't get too deep into my career here, so I won't, but dude, no, absolutely not, you are wrong...

Lots of brands make them, but I do have the Astro 3/8 9.5-19.5 ones and they've been great - I mostly use them for fasteners that have corroded to the point of being a 1/2 size smaller, they're very good for that. For swollen lug nuts I have a Matco set I bought used, probably made by CTA or...

I don't want to get too deep into my career or this topic on this forum, so I'll just put this all in one comment and leave my statement out there. I'll also say you're so off-base in the iPhone thing that I hesitate to pay attention to literally anything else you say as being informed or...

shockingly, there are alternatives to mississippi besides shanghai :) love it there though, will visit again, great city

?!?!?!? have you been to china? it's literally nothing except high rise apartment buildings. all the cities look like NYC. also china's problems with jet engines historically have *nothing* to do with steel. they had issues producing perfect turbine blades, but they're catching up very fast...

Literally just changed the oil on my fiance's Rav4 this morning, and my Matco filter socket kept slipping and I had to remove it with Knipex Cobras - and I was the one who put it on before, so I know it wasn't overtight. I'll try this Motivx one, thanks.

I'm definitely not leaving the Milwaukee and Snap-On cordless ecosystems at this point, but I buy a fair number of corded Hercules tools and really like them (portaband, tablesaw, chop saw) and I'm thinking about picking up the Hercules belt grinder tomorrow on the sale

those crow's feet new are like $2500 or something

Dude, the giant crow's feet and double-end wrenches are probably worth more than the box. Nice score.

That's awesome, thank you. Is it cost-prohibitive for you to sell singles on Amazon like Tekton does on their website?
