    Best small toolbox

    Yeah the 20% VAT on these bags puts the compact Tech MC close to $200 or whatever that is in monopoly money. As a non-professional, that's too expensive to me, even though I don't like digging through my current small toolbox. I put them on my Amazon wish list just in case there's one of those...

    Non-contact voltage testers

    I found this video very informative. It's important to know the limitations of our equipment.

    Facom

    I believe those cutters are made by VIM. They make the Matco rebrands. VIM sells them cheap sometimes.

    Proto 9" Locking Pliers for $14

    The deal is back on Amazon. I'm not sure why these are half the price of the smaller, long nose version. But I'm very happy with the fit an finish on mine. These Spanish Protos weigh at least 50% more than the cheap chinese versions I had already. Might have to buy another set to keep the...

    Tool box wrap and makeover

    Awesome job! Also, I see that Revrat joined in 2012 and just posted for the first time. A strong first post! Now I want to see what else he's been working on.

    Which FT QR Ratchet to buy

    At that point, might as well go with an Italian made Proto 72 tooth. No QR but only $56 with free shipping. I like mine. https://www.zoro.com/proto-hand-ratchet-12-dr-15-l-j5454f/i/G9789561/feature-product?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5PLM3vmB5wIVGuDICh1BIg-QEAQYAyABEgJXsPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Your Recommendations for a Multi-Tool

    I used a carry a black Leatherman Wave everyday in the Army. When you don't have an entire tool set handy, a quality multi-tool is priceless. When you do, the value from having a multi-tool is significantly less. The Wave is pretty much the standard against which other multi-tools are...

    SK 3896 1/2-Inch Drive 10-1/2-Inch

    I have the Proto version of that. Both are made by Facom. Honestly, it's mildly annoying to put back together by yourself. A vise would help, or an extra hand. But if the thing is fine, I wouldn't open it up.

    Klein at Southwire prices

    A deal on Orbis pliers 3-pack. I already have a pair or two and they are well-made. I think this is a Knipex brand. Price dropped from $96 to $44. Again, thank the tool_drop guy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O0IK7YC/?tag=atomicindus08-20
