Putting together a tool set for field repair. I don't have a dedicated truck so I'm putting my own together in a 5 drawer craftsman top chest. I'm looking for can't be beat quality to price, like Pittsburgh impact sockets or 1/2 breaker bar. (COO snobs or Snap On or die need not apply, I'm not...

So Amazon recommended these wrenches to me and I thought they looked interesting. Added them to my cart and next thing they're sold out. Wait for them to come in and again sold out on a day. Finally got my order through and they arrived so I thought I'd put some info out there in case anyone is...

Interested in locating a Carlyle locking flex 1/2 drive ratchet or two. Doesn't need to be new but don't want beat up either, thanks.

Looked through all the threads I could find and most were debates about bang for the buck DIY or such and several years old. But anyways I'm helping set up a part time service truck for my new job and I'm looking for a good economic set of torque wrenches. Probably going to get three of them one...

Bought a used 65"? 12 drawer Cornwell box. A previous owner spilt soda on the drawer and the latch won't fall back down to hold the drawer shut. I took it apart to clean it but since only gravity pulls it down it helped a little but not much any amount of gunk interferes. Or it's slightly bent...

Long story short moved sold my tool box due to storage constraints. Going back to wrenching after my break and need to buy another, I like the grip latch system cornwell, montezuma and tekton have. I also like the full width drawers of the tekton but the abundance of shallow drawers is useless...

Anyone ever use one of these? Master 35 by Airtec. Says it'll do 1300ft/lbs.

Needing to get a set up for fuses, co worker has the fuse saver and i like it. Just a reset-able circuit breaker. But I see the fuse buddy on the matco truck but I can't find much information about what it is supposed to do. Does any one have it?

My coworker has three huge, 2ft by 4-5ft, shop rags that he uses to cover tear downs that aren't immediately going back together but for the life of me I can't find anything like it for myself. The reason I like his is no lint, heavy so they don't blow off and they hold a bit of oil/grease so...

I use a 36" roller cab as a cart because I like the top as a mini office area but its about 8" too short for me to comfortably type on the service computer. What have the tall guys here done to raise it up? I'm leaning towards a platform on top of it or a frame between the casters and box.

Looking for a home set of reversible ratcheting wrenches. So far it appears the Dewalt 12 piece metric set is the best deal out there $100 from HD. There used to be a deal for SAE and Metric Gearwrench for $200 but it seems the GJ consensus that china Gearwrench reversibles are basically a waste...

What would you guys prefer in your roadside kit for testing electrical problems. I'm debating between a test light with a long ground lead, a multimeter with jumper leads, or a power probe? The issue I see with the test light is unless the lead reaches the battery sometimes the issue is where...

Was using my lQ2000's hooked in parallel to power my travel trailer when one of them shut off due to over load. But it won't reset, called Generac and all they will say is to take it to a dealer. So if someone out there knows anything about testing one of these it would be much appreciated...

Frequently need to remove very tightly packed hydraulic fitting on excavator control valves. Wrenches and regular crowfoots don't fit between them but sockets and 12pt (or some manufacturers call them flare) crowsfoots do. I was told to find deep weatherhead sockets but 1) I can't find any deep...

Looking to buy a working condition RRH12 or RRH14 riveter/hammer with or with out bits, thanks.

Looking to buy the TEKTON 4685 hand reel (location necessitates hand not spring operation). The description says 1/4 fittings but looking at the pictures it looks like they use a reducer to do that. Does anyone own this model? Can I hook up 3/8 or 1/2 fittings instead?

There is a guy selling a SO 3/4 digital angle torque wrench in my area for $500 but it's one piece and I'm not sure the torque angle feature is all that useful for my needs but for about the same price I can get new beam style from Precision and it breaks down into 3 pieces, which would be a lot...

Looking for something like OTC's 27794. I like how I can stack up various disks as I need to match up the inner and outer diameters of bushings. The set the shop provides is missing pieces and pretty banged up from misuse. So I was looking to buy my own set but all I find in Made in China with...

Craftsman calls it Griplatch, Montezuma calls it Raise and release and I don't know what Cornwell calls theirs. Do any other manufacturers use this drawer latch system? I have it on a small Montezuma box I use a a cart and have come to really like it. When I upgrade my stationary box I would...

I am interested in getting an AC machine, but I don't know if I need to get one like garages use (Robinair) or if a portable one (like HVAC techs) will do the same thing. Can anyone explain the differences between them, if there is?
