Check out sears. They have those new "universal" wrenches that are a spline drive, but they also make sockets of the same style. They are not on the website individually, but they are sold in sets at the store. They look nice and are made in Tiawan, unlike the wrenches which are China...

Well, I figured "what have I got to loose", so I took the dremel to the chuck. I had the drill apart and the gear drive was tightly sealed in plastic bag, and dremeled the heck out of the thing. about three hours of griding and trying everything possible (and breaking 1 more t20+ bit) I got it...

I guess thats what I'm looking for. I can't stand it when the chuck wobbles out of round and you cant drill or drive screws in well. One thing I liked on the old chuck was the knurled grip that you could rotate to get the screw bits to line up with the head of the screw without having to...

Thats what I'm thinking. So I'm looking online at those little 12 LiIon drivers (Bosch, Skil, etc. - they all look like the come off the same assemble line just different finsihing touched on them) Anyone have any experience with them? One review on the Bosch on the lowes site said that the...

About 6 of those the torx tips broke in the "righty tighty" direction. I'm hoping the gearbox didn't get messed up from all the pounding the thing took. It does have some wobble now and the chuch doesn't hold bit too well, but the sad part is that is still works. I looked on the dewalt...

Clockwise... I even broke a bit trying counterclockwise "just in case"... I just looked at my reciept and it is a bit over 7 years old. Where can I get a swiss Bosch?

Hello, I have a 3/8 Dewalt 12v cordless drill that is roughly 5-6 years old. It has served me real well. It has seen light use around the house, nothing major. It was made in Mexico. I messed up the Jacobs chuck real bad (my fault) and I cannot get it off for the life of me, it has a T-20...

:thumbup: Well said!!

That works for me! :beer: I have seen some of the AC Delco stuff, and it doesn't look too bad. The ones I saw were made in Tiawan.

I stopped by the local Kragens today for some lamps, and noticed that their entire stock of Powerbuilt (and Alltrade) tools are 50% off the listed price. I guess they are going to be discontinuing that brand for something else (O'reily stuff). They still had a pretty good selection. I stocked...

I'm in field service and I use crawford tools for alot of my stuff. I know a guy that used those screwdrivers and they were great. The handle and the shape of the tip look like rebadged wiha.

Very Nice!!

I remember those hanging on the pegs near the ratchets. I was under the impression that someone tried to rebuild one and they didn't do it right, the ratchet came apart and they got hurt... then lawyers got involved, etc. This was just a story I heard several years ago, so I'm not sure if it's...

no one has mentioned Powerbuilt?

I've never heard of them. King Tony?? not too sure about that one. I'm sure they're of average quality.

We bought a set of the HF amber colored cushion grip ones a few years back (second from the bottom of the list above), and on the first screw we tried then on (#3 phillips just applying by hand) the handle spun and the shaft didn't. Then we tried the #2 phillips in the same screw, and the...

I've used older Flukes in the past and they are great. I use a lower end Wavetek Meterman at work ( I don't use it very often though ), and that works nicely. I have seen someone damage a Fluke before, the ***** was trying to measure the voltage produced by an electronic spark ignitor ignition...

Yeah, I have broken every brand torx bit that I have had. SO, Lisle, Cman. The problem with SO (for me at least) is that I don't work for a shop, so I usually call the guy up and see where he is in his route, or even if he is in town. There have been a couple of times where he doesn't hve the...

Hello. This forum was mentioned on another website (BITOG) several days ago and I thought I would check this site out. Well, I got hooked. I have been reading all sorts of posts on here and have gone back several months. I have found an overwhelming amount of excellent information. :bowdown...

A few years ago, I walked into ACE hardware and they had all this Snap on stuff (all made in China). Flashlights, led worklights, gloves, etc. I picked up some stuff, but I always get compliments on the gloves. Then right when this happened, people were trying to make a profit from them on...
