    Tools of Japan

    These are excellent soft jaw pliers. I own two sets from Japan. Have been very useful around and inside the home as well!

    Tools of Japan

    It is a precision, Class 1 tape measure. You need to pay for the precision if it is required for work you do.

    Mike, I watch your videos to learn how these jobs should be done so when I take my vehicles in I can explain to the techs how I want the job performed and will often buy the equipment that they do not have on hand to make sure the project is finished to a professional standard. I do not know of...

    Mike, my mistake. It was the RCV axle shaft rebuild video on YouTube which I enjoyed watching where the tool made the appearance.

    Mike, when you were doing the rear differential on the Mustang and working on the gears, I saw you had a special hammer that looked welded up and custom. Would love to see that, too. You seemed to use it to get things positioned and would use the heavier Snap-On hammer to strike it. ETA: See...

    Wurth Wrench Set users?

    I really respect your knowledge on tooling. However, I don’t think the Europeans are as picky as you’d want to believe. Wurth has sales locations throughout Europe making it easy to access the product. That ease of access makes them popular more so than the product itself, which, as discussed...

    Wurth Wrench Set users?

    There was a Wurth bit ratchet I wanted about a year or two ago. I saw it in Europe and wanted to buy it from Wurth USA. In the opinion of the USA headquarters, the tools did not have enough profit margin for them to import, market, and sell in the US. I need to go to one of the stores while in...
