    New 1/2" drive ratchet

    I just bought this today mainly for torquing head bolts. Despite being the youngest person in the shop by at least 15 years, I was living in the past using a breaker bar. I was really impressed when I felt how smooth the ratcheting action was on it, it feels better than my 3/8" drive 80 tooth...

    15" 15mm wrench

    If he works on those all day then that would be a no brainer. That would work on 94-04 serp belt Rover V8's.

    Do Cornwell Dealers stock Hazet?

    We had a Cornwell dealer come to our dealership for a long time, but he had heart problems so he's out of the business. I've seen the new guy driving around, but he doesn't come to our shop.

    raised panel hatred

    The Mac wrenches I have are probably from the ninety's, but I just don't like the feel of them. I love Snap On wrenches, but so far Bahco has the best feel IMO.

    raised panel hatred

    I'll trade you a set of Craftsmen wrenches for your Snap On ones since you don't use them... I can't stand the way the craftsmen ones feel, and as previously noted the open end spreads out and they are too short. The best wrench I've ever felt is the Bahco set I just bought on Amazon for $44...

    Tools from the old world

    So are the metric Bahco wrenches different from the standard ones?

    Tools from the old world

    I just got my Bahco wrenches off of Amazon for $44 and I love them. They only seem to have standard on Amazon unfortunately. I will rarely use them since they are standard, but I like the feel of them way more than my Snap On, Mac, and Craftsman wrenches. Anyone know of a good place to get...

    Side cutter Usage

    I use my snap on (longer handled) ones for loads of stuff, such as cutting cotter pins, removing nails from tires, and cutting other various metal things that get in my way. I haven't noticed that they have gotten dull over the years.

    Plier storage ideas?

    My problem with the Pliers Rack is that only about 2/3's of my pliers fit in it. The slots are pretty slim, so a lot of pliers don't fit in them. My other issue is that the pliers tend to fall sideways.

    Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

    Different applications require different screwdrivers. I also have hose picks in the same drawer. I don't understand the people with duplicates of the same screw drivers just in different colours. As far as buying Snap On goes, there is no gearwrench dealer that comes to my dealership. In...

    Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

    I got a set of Snap On Ducks Unlimited hard handle screwdrivers. I don't hunt, I just wanted the green ones since they match my box. One is yellow because my SO dealer used it as a warranty replacement at some point.

    Genius Tool vs. Snap-on extra long box end wrenches

    I think my Snap On set has two 15 mm in it. I am certain it has at least one size that has a duplicate.

    That's the truth! Random ABS lights are easy to fix though. PM me if you need any advise on it.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while so I figured I'd join and post a pic of my work box. I'm 22 and work at the Land Rover dealership here as a technician. I bought this box mostly full of tools although I still somehow find myself buying tools every week... Pretty much all of my stuff is...
