Doesn't sound ideal...

Ah, so the X jaw is the "anti slip" profile, jaw What's "hybrid" mean then? Thanks for the heads up on Amazon, found some on eBay too

Can someone help me understand the differences in the lobtex adjustable wrench line? There seems to be a lot of overlap https://www.lobtex.co.jp/english/products/tabid/152/catid/82/pcatid/80/Default.aspx Also, where can I buy them in the US? This is the only place that pops up...

Amazing. Thanks

No Allen branded Allen keys? 😂

I meant to compliment them. Those tekton look nice. I see gearwrench has double box end flex with no protrusion either

I figured if I get both the astro nano sockets set and it's associated ratchet wrench, the corresponding ratchet wrench set shouldn't be be duplicating the same function. How close in thickness is a nano socket in its ratchet wrench vs the protrusion from the matco/mountain/icon?

What's a good set of ratcheting wrenches to go with astro nano sockets? Does anyone make double box end flex ratchet wrenches that don't have the little protrusion like the mountain/matco/icon?

Any real differences between the current irega and bahco wrenches? I should probably get one of the giant jaw Fujiya for undersink work

How are these sockets both metric and sae? Slop in the fit allows it?

Do you mean the universal adapter or a whole set of universal sockets? My dad's Craftsman set in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2" didn't even come with a 1/4" ratchet - just a spinner handle and a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter. I was so excited to get a 1/4" Craftsman ratchet for it years later, and boy did it feel janky...

Yeah, I remember getting my first set of Williams sockets which came with these rails. They're either too right and you gotta fight the sockets on and off, or they're loose and sockets fly off. I had to pry my 1/4 sockets off their rails. Immediately gave them away to someone who didn't hate...

Thanks. I might start with that 8" Proto and add a 6" and 10"/12" later - maybe in extra wide jaw configurations - hard to buy tools without a use case, but a feel like an adjustable is one of those "must haves"

I was thinking of https://www.zoro.com/bahco-bahco-wide-mouth-adjustable-wrench-6-bah9029rus/i/G7624569/ and https://www.zoro.com/bahco-bahco-black-x-wide-adjustable-wrench-ergo-10-9033-r-us/i/G7638386/ but the premium for the wide opening on the 10" is a lot (The standard 10" is like $30-35)

Good to know about the hex pipe wrenches. I always wanted to know the proper tools for tightening toilet valves. Every plumber just uses channel locks and the teeth marks bother me a lot. I ended up tightened the faucet with an 8" husky adjustable I had borrowed from work, but way too long for...

I need a new 6" & 10" adjustable wrenches and I figured I'd go with Bahco. I see that they offer extra wide jaws, and that would have been nice to have when I was tightening my kitchen faucet. Are there any downsides besides the price? (The 10" is pricey) I'm guessing if I'm using an adjustable...

Seems like drpd.cc is dumping all their ktc nepros stuff because of heavy price increases https://drpd.cc/collections/ktc-nepros-clearance-sale/

Those look like the modern Li Ion 18V batteries

I grabbed a M106A spinner handle that I thought was supposed to be USA made a year or two ago. Made in Taiwan

I'm curious why can't we get a nice forged plier head, or screwdrivers that aren't just crude stamped soft stainless, or even heavy duty pivots and more rigid frames
