I’ve been on a “bit” spree lately.

IPS bent nose

Thank you! Those 72 21 160 look like they are exactly what I'm after!

Thanks, any suggestions on any particular end nippers? I have a pair of KBN150s as well.

I use flush cutters a lot for zip ties, I have a bunch but my current favourite is a pair of Knipex. However I think a set of flush cutters with a end cutter configuration would be very nice to have and even more practical in most circumstances. Do these exist and if so what are your experiences?

If you can swing it the TechAngle torque wrenches are above anything else on the market.

No and I understand 100% how you feel. I know for some they say it doesn’t bother them but I can’t stand it and won’t live with it, I’ll just but Snap-On and Nepros instead. ***** because I really like the Kokens in every other way.

I have the lang and it works well but most of the time I’m just to lazy I guess to get it out and I just use a prybar or big screw driver pushed in through the pad viewing windows in the back of the calipers and pry against the pads to open the caliper up. I do this before it’s removed. Is...

Yes same number markings and yes i agree they are a bit hard to read.

Do you have a princess auto close by? They have some long 1/2 flex head options that aren't terrible.

Ya the CAT sockets are 100% just re-branded Snap-On, like I said I picked up 3 sets. Lifetime warranty at the CAT dealer if I remember correctly.

EBay for sure, I just bought a set of 1/4 6pt deep metric Snap on sockets new in wrapper on Ebay for about 1/2 the price of new. Also, if you have a CAT dealer you can get them branded as CAT sockets for probably 1/4 -1/3 the price of SO but they might be one or two sizes short of the SO set...

Snap on 1/4” deep metric 6pt

Thanks for the input guys, I know nothing about them other than I have some of their screwdrivers that are decent and I like the handles. I will admit I’m a rather snob thou and already have about 10 nice ratchets between Snap-On and Nepros so I’ll probably end up with another Snap on for this...

Thanks, good info.

Anyone have one of these?

How are the teeth holding up on the IPS pliers?

I have 12 bearings that need to be installed on a bicycle and I’ll take any excuse I can to buy a new tool so here we have a bearing press kit from Amazon. Finely crafted in China I’m sure but seems really nice. The markings indicating which bearings each bushing fits is a nice touch.

Any one have experience with the Genius ratchets? This one caught my eye because of the hard handle. I have some screwdrivers with the same handle and it’s comfortable and durable. I’m also curious if it’s a quick detach?
