I’ve been spending a lot of time in plumbing mechanical rooms lately and have found myself needing sizes I never thought I would have in previous lives… Like 1” to 1-1/2” wrenches. I currently have them in a pile in a job box, and hate it. I ordered a Bull Tools “16 pocket wrench roll” on Amazon...

I could go to Amazon or whatever for this easy enough, just thought I’d find out if anyone has one they’re looking to part with... Looking for a 1/2” 20v Dewalt impact, either the “high torque” (400 ft lb?) or the smaller one (150 ft lb?). I’d also consider 3/8” drive. Must be in or happily...

I have a Milwaukee drill/impact set that I use daily. The rubber handle has sloughed off the impact driver, I assume because I use it so often with hands covered in mineral oils (mostly synthetic suspension oil). Has anyone else had this happen? I called Milwaukee and they said they had never...

About a month ago I ordered some 18v Milwaukee stuff, and a handful of Irwin bits from JC Cayer. I'm not sure whether I plain ignored GJ's warnings, or failed to take them seriously enough. I've had about a month of wrangling now - mostly due to the VERY FIRST missive from them being a curt...

Wife and I got a fancy coffee maker for our wedding. I decided we needed a fancy tamper to go with it. This resulted. If Snap-On wants to make serious hipster inroads, this is the place to start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every Sheffield-made Record vise I've ever seen has been absolutely kicked. Is this because they've been abused, or because they're sort of middle-of-the-road quality?

Anyone know who makes this vise? I ordered one today to replace an absolutely kicked Record No 6, because the free shipping in Canada is worth it alone... Just curious if I bought an Indian-cast dinghy anchor, or a vise. Pictures when it arrives.

Anyone have any pictures of Cornwell 30t ratchet internals? Just curious how their mechanism works... I gather it's a "Batman"-style single-pawl design?

You don't see a whole lot of Gray Tools coming up here... Just cleaning out my ratchet collection. Gray Canada T85 ratchet, I think about 30 teeth. Brand new mechanism has never had a socket on it; will include originally mechanism and high- and low-profile direction switches for reference...

Anyone have this set? I bought it to cut up and glue into hex sockets, for long and short reach, etc. - it's one of the few torx keys I've found with a hex shank. Just curious if anyone knows what size shanks the key sizes (T10, T25, T30, T40, T50) have? Anyone have any suggestions for SAE or...

Not sure if anyone is into this kind of thing... http://www.bicycleretailer.com/product-tech/2013/12/12/silca-reborn-usa#.UqynCihEB6I I have a Silca pump, had it for years, bought it thinking it was probably pretty good, and now even my wife likes it. WAF is rare in a bicycle pump.

I kind of have a ratchet fetish... Can anyone comment on Snap-On Dual 80 ratchets vs. Proto XL? I'm specifically looking at 1/4", but opinions on others are welcome. I'm more concerned with drag and smoothness than things like tooth count. Also, do the Proto XL ratchets have the same...

Just looking for a 1/4 or 3/8 Proto or Plomb pear-head ratchet. Prefer something in decent shape, but definitely not looking for a collector's item. Just want to try one out! Must be willing to ship to Canada. Thanks!

Just thinking...if anyone has a Snap-On FCF72 compact flex 3/8" you're not interested in keeping, let me know. I'll take it!

I have this Proto 4757 ratchet, bought NOS. The VERY first time I used it I broke the pin at the hinge. I've sent some emails to Proto, and have not got a reply. The real trouble is, I can't get half the pin out to find a suitable replacement. It's anchored in the ratchet head, and floats in...

I have a line on some Wera Hex-Plus bits. I have the set of Hex-Plus screwdrivers, and I like the way they engage a fastener, but can anyone comment on how they stand up to more serious torque? Obviously the screwdrivers have held up well.

Does anyone know of a compendium that lists what manufacturer makes what brands of ratcheting wrenches? I'm considering buying a new set, but I want to spend too much money just on rebadging...

I bought this set of metric hex bits on fleaBay. While they look pretty nice - the chrome is (mostly) chromey, the broaches (mostly) precise, and the bits are razor sharp - I've yet to use them. I find it a bit nuts how many "manufacturers" are to be found on the packaging, along. What could...

Just curious if the selectors on Proto pear-head ratchets are "backwards" relative to most other similar ratchets. i.e., right for clockwise drive and left for counterclockwise. I think I have a ratchet with a same style mechanism, and its switch is backwards from all my Snap-Ons. I'm...

It's not as good as some hauls, but I'm pretty pleased with it. It looked like **** on the Kijiji ad, and half of it is ****, but there's some decent stuff in there too. Lots of Wera #1 and #2 Pozis, a pair of almost-abused Klein snips, a mostly-complete Gray SAE set (with two substitutions...
