I don't think the Channellock 415 were ever intended to be a pliers-wrench, just simply smooth jaw pliers. The OEM equivalent to putting tape over your toothed jaw pliers. Not something one would need frequently though. I've used mine for compressing nylon inserts to fertilizer hubs and they...

We've got three or four of those old low tooth count open head Indestro/Thorsen ratchets here on the farm. Belonged to my grandpa and I would be surprised if my future grandkids aren't using them someday. Seems to be a very strong design. Would be interesting to see them included in a strength...

Proto's ASD is pretty tame compared to Snapon's FD+. No serrations. I'd be surprised if it marred a fastener any more than a regular wrench. After all, the wrench has to contact the fastener somewhere. Maybe buy a single wrench and give it a try on a few things. As for the fella who said satin...

You want it? I've got no Volkswagons and certainly don't have whatever fancy Snapon tool it goes to.

Last summer I ordered a single combination wrench and when the package arrived it also contained a free(?) Volkswagen adapter of some sort... Would have rather gotten a dead blow hammer. Lucky.

Couldn't find them on the website. It'd be tough to beat their $20 Pittsburgh Pro one in strength. Maybe better quality control? Still, at 2.5 times the price...

I often have trouble finding similar height locations (front vs rear) to place jacks. Usually it's to the frame up front and the axle in back, making matching heights irrelevant. I just eyeball the levelness then. However I'm also quite happy for a bit of overkill sizing the stands. Generally...

Been looking around for a set that goes up to at least 15/16. Love the SK set, but I prefer satin finish for grip. Our shop has a Popular Mechanics set in satin (that is quite well made) that goes up to 3/4 so I know they were made at some point. Hard to find anything satin these days except...

Application is farm equipment...anything that is too confined or too remote to get an air gun on. I have used some offset slug wrenches with poor success due to popping off. The one time they did come through for me was removing a hydraulic cylinder piston that for some reason even our 1" gun...

This will be a game changer for me. Thank you sir :D (I'll bet my kids knew this. Starting to feel a bit old)

Nice! I tried searching for other brands of that device but kept ending up with pneumatic impacts. I'll check out Wright. Edit: After looking at the Wrights, I love the idea of being able to have one guy with a ratchet on it while the other hammers. But I don't love the $300 price. The Urreas...

Ive been slowly trying to build a set of slug wrenches on the cheap, usually around $20 a piece on ebay. It's tough, in part, because they're so expensive new but mostly because theres so many names they could be listed under (slug, slugging, slugger, striking, striker, hammer, slog, slogger...

+1 more for the Craftsman (also looked like the Sheffield previously pictured was the same design). Most every other utility folder I've come across is bulkier than I would like for front pocket carry. The Craftsman works well for that. Pros: Slim, good lockup, decent blade retention...

In my little corner of the shop the old HF end cabinet was the perfect fit next to my Husky box. Thanks to GJ I finally needed that last bit of extra storage so I bought a new end cabinet, knowing they were deeper now, thinking I would use it as a base for the old one. $200 and a 2hr round trip...

The one automotive tool I'm most thankful that it exists when I need it are these hose clamp pliers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003D3N7YW/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Older stuff isn't much of an issue but modern vehicles have very tight access and while it's possible to get spring clamps off with...

I've got the same one. Im 180+ lbs and have stood on, and moderately bounced, on mine and it's held. Im not saying it's as sting as snap on, but it's also a fallacy to think top end tools can't break either.

Kind of exactly what I said, but apparently not as well.

Is it possible to make one? Maybe some 1-1/4 ID box iron with a junk socket welded into the other end. Should last at least a couple uses.

What are they asking?
