I might as well pony up and just get the Carlyle from napa. 6 blocks away, lifetime warranty.

Where do I get the Tone wrenches?

Seems to be a topic of discussion recently. I have not heard mention of this brand Steelman Anyone had experience with these guys? hey seem to be the only ones who would be accessible if a warranty need should arise.

The Precision Instruments split beams are fantastic. I have a 3/8 and 1/2 that are both over 5 years old and they have never gone out of calibration. That said. They are slightly bulky but durable as all he!!. Techangle wrenches are also fantastic. I purchased my last one used from a pawnshop...

I have an SK set that is about 20 years old and the tips look darn near brand new. I do baby them. I think Vessel screwdrivers are a must if you work on anything Japanese.

My newest one is a steel grip CDI. Man, it's beautiful. Bought used. Sent it in for calibration and it's +/- 1 percent spec.

I've been eyeing the digital but not sure which ones would be most accurate.

My 20 year old napa tire inflator with gauge gave up the ghost and napa no longer has replacement parts for it. I purchased a Rhino brand unit to replace it and it was total junk. That said, I have narrowed down to two brands that seem to be reputable. Lonacre and Milton industries. Any...

I have 15 torque wrenches. I love them all like they were my children. I'm addicted to torque wrenches.

I love my techangle. And yes, you can "back up" the ratchet for tight areas.

Cant go wrong with SK. I have a couple of round heads and they are as smooth as can be.

Not at all.

I'm worried that I'll break the little piece. Seems like cheap plastic. Is that thing a necessity?

I ended up with the Carlyle 3/8 flex head. I have to say for $50 its nice. No slop in any way whatsoever. Back drag could be a little better. I need to take it apart and drop a glob of grease in it. HOW DO I TAKE THIS THING APART? Those wondering why I didn't just buy a snap on? I will...

Carlyle it is

I'm looking for a 3/8 flex head ratchet with a "grip" type handle. I just spent my tool allowance on a snap on 1/4 flex so I only have about $50 left to spend. The only thing I found so far that fills the bill is the Carlyle flex head from Napa I know nothing about the carlyle brand. Are...

I have the Astro, I do not like them. They feel like they could break at any moment.

Any other brand suggestions? I see Capri makes a set similar. Would like to stay away from china made. Taiwan is fine. Can't afford US steel at the moment.

I'm looking at a set of zero degree offset wrenches by Eastwood. Any thoughts on quality?

I soaked the fitting in repeated sessions of applying kroil. Using a snap on crows foot, the connection easily broke free. Excited, I went to put on the new hose on and to my dismay it would not fit. The hose has a bracket that connects to the strut. When I connect it, I would have to twist...
