SLS and DLMS have been around since the early 90s.

Just had my recent order fulfilled by DRPD. I was always hesitant about ordering PB Swiss from other US sellers, until now. Now I have a new source for PB Swiss and finally Ko-ken stuff too. Thanks DRPD, and thank you for the stickers!

ha, the Southwire is a direct copy of the Klein. Nice.

I like the simplicity and ergonomics of the Klein 4 in 1 electronics screwdriver. But I was wondering if there are other multi bit screwdrivers like it? And when I say like it, like no more than 4 different profiles (Klein has a PH 0 and 00 and slotted 2.4mm, 3.2 tips). The sizes are perfect for...

I have that CLC 1539. The only con, it's easy to overload. And voila, you'll have 45-50lbs of tools in there if you're not careful. I use a small dolly to wheel it around when I'm at customer sites.

Screen graphic machines from Japan uses lots of tiny fasteners which are only accessible with a low profile bit ratchet or mini wrench.

Those are coveralls not overalls.

100% agree. If you do machine maintenance and repair, L keys are a standard use tool. I always find it funny that people who don't do your job, are always bewildered by why you don't do it their way, or use "their" tools. I'll gladly spend $70 on a good set of hex keys over a set of hex...

Can you direct me to more information about Bondhus having a modified hex design?

Do NOT want.

I had to find this thread because I just found out something interesting at LAX. I'm on my way home after a service this call this week. I was talking to a Pferd rep for USA and we had a discussion about where the Pferd files are made. They are mostly made in India now, at least the files...

The only coveralls I ever liked were the US Navy issued/bought ones I had when we were on the boat and on deployment. They're lightweight, and they were easy to wash. Used ones on fleabay go pretty cheap.

I've been using this Jensen presumably rebranded from Klein needle nose since 2000 and it's held up fine. It's one pair of pliers that will not get upgraded to anything else. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Mine. Not purchased from Amazon, but for reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001555DWO/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

Personal preference is NON sleeved hex keys. I don't see the need for them, but that's my preference. The regular black finish keys are durable and suit my needs. Wera 950PKL/13. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

I totally agree with this. Thanks for mentioning that. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

That is incorrect. Wera has two versions of SAE hex L key sets. They do indeed have 7/64 and 9/64 in the 13 key SAE sets. The cheaper SAE sets are missing those. In my experience, the Wera keys have a more positive fit than the Bondhus hex keys. In practice, I use my Wera keys on near new, or...

Surprisingly, these are new. The person who helped me was also the owner (I was told all RS stores are now franchisee owned) told me that nothing he sold was NOS or previous inventory. It was all newly branded. I even bought RS branded solder and heat shrink amongst all the many other diy stuff...

Not sure what you meant by that. Anyways, last I saw anything branded RS for a tool was in 1996. Direct plugin soldering irons were never meant for any fine work. I'm not doing fine work here, just splicing wires. When you travel every week for work, you can't carry a solder station with you...

I visited a Radio Shack for the first time since 2010 and actually found something useful. I didn't bring my soldering iron and needed one to splice some wires at a customer site. 40w is sufficient for any wire repair and it's made in Taiwan, which was a surprise. I find it interesting to see...
