    Suaoki U18 Li-Ion Jump Pack review

    For anyone wanting a compact lithium-ion jump box, I was recently sent this Suaoki U18 to review by a manufacturer representative. Thought I'd put it through its paces to determine if it's worth the asking price of $90, or about $72 after a 20% off coupon available now on amazon. It comes in...

    Smallest hex nut/bolt you've encountered?

    Just received a Wiha precision driver set, and it comes with nut drivers down to 1.5mm. I've never encountered a nut or bolt smaller than 4mm, I'm curious what kind of machine has 1.5, 2 or 2.5mm bolts. Anyone work with stuff that small?

    Proto ASD Reversible Ratcheting Spline-drive combo wrenches - long-term reviews?

    These wrenches looked amazing when they came out a few years ago, and they were crazy expensive at launch. Now that supply has caught up with demand, the price on a set is actually attainable. I may get a set later on this year. Anyone here who has used these wrenches consistently for at least...

    Harbor Freight 1200 FT LB Cordless 1/2" Impact Wrench

    Saw this at the HF yesterday: List price was $249 :shocking: Apart from not knowing what kind of battery compatibility it has with the other new HF offerings, this looks incredible. I'd love to see Real Tool Reviews put this sucker through his torque tests and see if it lives up to the...

    Brymen multimeters?

    Been looking to get a highly accurate DMM for checking/calibrating other meters as well as for bench work, so it doesn't have to be Fluke-level indestructible. I've heard really good things about the Brymen BM869S model, anyone here have one? Right now my only experiences with DMMs are with...

    looking for cover plate for Snap-On F720 ratchet

    sent a rebuild kit for the ratchet to my dad, who's had a broken one hanging on his wall for a couple decades. He got the rebuild kit installed but the cover plate (the only part that the rebuild kit doesn't include) is long gone, anyone know where I can get one without just buying the whole...

    Mystery pliers: Henry G. Schaerf?

    found these rattling around in a box of old tools at a defunct antique shop that had closed down (I was helping to clear out the building): I tried a google search on the name, but nothing came up. Any ideas as to the age of these pliers, or what happened to the company that made them...

    Norseman HSS drill bits standard vs new cryo nitrided

    Been looking to pick up a good set of drill bits that will actually go through various grades of steel, and I've seen the Norseman brand mentioned several times here and in other places. I was going to order the mechanic length 66820 set, but then I saw this new product they came out with...

    need an air compressor pressure switch near Raleigh, NC. Any local suppliers?

    So I got my dad a 2 stage air compressor for x-mas but long story short, the pressure switch is bad. I'd like to get and install a new one while I'm visiting, so I'm looking for a store that might stock a replacement pressure switch that's rated for at least 23 amps. I'll order online and rush...

    HF 60 gal, 5hp air compressor. 93274 vs 62299

    I had read that the 93274 is basically a rebadged Bel Aire 216v, but this other type, the 62299, has a 3-piston pump and a different motor. I know lots of guys have the 93274 and are very happy with it, which is why I'm leaning toward it as a gift for my dad for x-mas. Since it's a pretty...

    Tell me about Krenn bolt cutters

    Looking into getting a large pair of high quality bolt cutters, and I like their replaceable triangular blades that can be repositioned three times for a fresh, sharp cutting edge. My question is mainly about the difference between the K series and the RI series cutters. I'm looking at the 49"...

    CLR: amazing copper wire cleaner

    On the back of a bottle of CLR, it specifically states NOT to use it on copper. However, I just successfully used it to very quickly and easily strip some heavy gauge stranded wire used for a truck battery terminal (broke the original terminal when trying to take it off the batt post, it was...
