I got the hazet ones a couple years ago, but only because they're blue. They don't do anything I wasn't accomplishing just fine with a bungee cord for years before that, but you know, blue. I like them, would recommend.

I'm too excited to even wait for the daylight to get better photos and a buddy to help me get it out of the truck. I just got a Parker 976 off marketplace. Paid $350. Previous owner painted it, but I can find no signs of welds or cracks, the jaws are tight at the top with a tiny gap at the...

Signed up, this sounds like a good fit for me. I'm a SW eng working in UIFW, can offer feedback. I don't have the most tools of anyone, especially on this forum, but I have an awful lot more than most people and I want to catalogue them better.

The old beat up Kobalt one I bought a decade ago and insist on using for the rest of my life is the best one, because it works and I have it. I go through a lot of razor blades and I buy 100-packs of US Blade ones from HJE, but the utility knife is a utility knife, they aren't really complicated.

I won't get too specific on what I think the total cost of my two drawers of entirely Power Blue, Pearl Blue, and Teal ratchets and torque wrenches was, but I've done the math and it's more than $10k. And I *know* I don't have the most expensive or expansive collection by any means, especially...

It's pretty rare that I have to open and service any of my ratchets, but when I do I use regular old Super Lube and I thin it with a squirt of CRC 3-36. Not because I think it's the best, but because Super Lube works well and I already have it, and because I buy CRC 3-36 by the gallon and use it...

Man, you think these things are great? Wait until you try the Knipex 95-05-185 angled tip Combination Shears. They are *unreal.* We buy flowers every week for the vase on our dining room table. When I tell you I buy an entire bouquet and effortlessly snip through 1.5"-2" of flower stems in *one...

I bought a 20 ton shop press this year solely because I cracked the nut in my vise and felt so bad about it.

I was about to buy the three pack of M12 2.5 HOs, but this is not a risk for me to take. If 99/100 are genuine, you and I are sharing the fake one - this is my luck every time

I have a small Norseman set from HJE, they've been solid as would be expected

I came upon this absolutely beat Parker 104 with no jaws and a cracked tail on the dynamic jaw. It opens and closes smoothly though, the nut, handle, and screw seem to be in good shape. Doesn't have the original Parker collar. If someone here wants it, it's yours for the price of shipping from...

Well, if you need a field tester when the time comes, I'll be happy to try and break them for you and cram them into awkward spaces to torque suspension bolts! 👍🏼

@Astro_Pneumatic_Tools Do you have any plans to ship a set of torque adapters, and specifically 1/2 metric drive ones? I find myself really struggling to use sockets and crows feet in some applications on suspension components, and more than once I've felt like owning a set of torque adapters...

This thread has been inspiring to me. I found out I have to move today, and have two months to make it happen. I think I may palletize a lot of my shop and hire movers who come with a pallet jack and a liftgate, the idea of that is making me feel so much less nervous.

Man, I missed the carts again. I really want one.

I'm legit checking that cart like 5 times a day now, hoping it will come in stock a third time and I can snag one or three.

So, I don't know if you've checked them out, but there's actually a few pretty legit brands on Amazon that sell things like specific taps and dies + machining tools. Shars and HHIP are actually pretty nice tools, at affordable prices, usually with next day shipping as an option. Like, yeah, you...

Grizzly is basically filling Enco's spot in the market. Moderately priced machine tools that are appropriately moderate quality, and they do carry some better stuff too (Their brakes are supposedly really nice) Mostly mid-level machines, nicer than HF but on par with a lot of the more affordable...

my brother you have got to moisturize those fingers. lookin like you played spanish guitar for 80 years.

I actually just realized you must be the OEM for the 81pc Matco tap and die set because I saw it has the same handle. I wish you'd sell that one directly. The same great ratcheting handle, and a complete set of metric and SAE taps and dies, it looks like an awesome product and I'd much rather...
