Klein has a smooth jaw pair, model #D-304-6.

Yeah, I like the looks of the VW tool. I think if I still worked on cars everyday, I might go out and try to locate one of those.

Well if the Channellocks have teeth, then the MACs certainly do too since all there USA pliers are re-badged Channellock stuff.

Well I never had a problem with the SO trim tool I have. I thought it worked great. I think the one you don't like is that 2nd one pictured, the a171a, which has that rounded opening. The a161 that I love has a v-notch in it. Either way, if all Vinko is doing is taking some stuff off at home, I...

I have some of those box ends. They are older, say SK Lectrolite on them. They seem ok. I always wanted some newer ones, but I don't have C-Mans to trade nor do I have money to buy right now.

I would guess Germany. Pretty sure that is where the rest of their stuff is made.

Some of the Mazda's are made right here in Michigan. I think the Mazda 6 and Ford Mustang are built in the same plant here.

When it comes to trim removal, this was my go to tool when I was working on cars: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=&item_ID=12811&group_ID=1793&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

I just checked the catalog 1000, and all it shows is the instinct handles. As for the MAC picks, they are imports now. The Matco's are made by Witte. I have the Matco's and they get the job done. Also, anytime I break one, my Matco dealer has warrantied them no questions asked. Edit: thought...

Man only $10 for the SO box wrenches. I'd be willing to bet the two of those new are close to $80 or more.

+1 again and again. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, opinions, views, etc... but some seem to have a harder time sharing their beliefs rather than forcing them upon others. Its one thing to say, I believe story A, but to say I believe this and if you don't then you are an idiot, that...

Williams stuff seems to be hit or miss. Depends on what it is. The best way to know what you are getting is to go through there catalog. They list if it is made here or not.

I don't think that is a Snap-On sliding T. The SO has 2 grooves cut in the drive bit like the ends of their extensions. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=&item_ID=1620&group_ID=234&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

$60 apparently.:spit:

Got this brand new 3/8"dr. 22 pc. Proto socket set. Has the ratchet, 2 extensions, universal, and shallow and deep 3/8"-7/8" sockets. $45+ shipping. Brand new goes for $190 from J&L/MSC.

I only took machine shop in high school, but we had a surface grinder and remember using one of those to dress the wheel.

I have a craftman 3/8" tw. It works well for what it is. Not sure how much more and less accurate it is compared to most, but it seems to get the job done. Also has a nice firm click when using it so there is no question of whether or not the applied torque has been reached. Although, when I get...

Yeah, I got a message from both the seller and paypal. Paypal said to use the refund option and it will take care of everything without and fees to either of us. The seller said this has happened to him recently with another buyer! and that he will take care of it. So sounds like he is pretty...

No, not one socket, its a 22 pc. 3/8" std set. Goes for $190 on j&l industrial/msc. So even if I lost the extra $50, I'd still have saved $90. But I don't want to lose that $50 when I won it fair and square for $50 in the first place.

So I just won a proto socket set on ebay for $45+shipping. Totaled like $53 and change. Anyways I made my payment, but then when I got to the 3rd screen, confirmation, it went blank. So I assumed that the payment didn't go through. So rather than waiting a few and checking my paypal overview, I...
