Got two big Plombs and a P&C today at the flea market The top one is 1 5/16, middle 1 7/16 x 1 1/4, and bottom is 1 1/8 x 1 1/16 The finish is poor but the ends are actually in quite good shape

If it is cosmetically unappealing to you I would not look down on you for returning them, but I personally would not be bothered by those at all, especially at that price. If you want non Taiwan made and a higher quality finish that that I guess Japanese might fit the bill, but it will cost more...

Awesome.

I also didn't like them for ergonomics, but I have 4 of them so I use them anyway and one thing I've found is they are extremely strong, and I think most round head designs with the cog teeth on the ratchet handle/body are as well. I have broken a couple ratchets but the SK's never flinched. I...

Some of us work with tools for a living, time is money. And even beyond time saving, if I can get a job done and get out of the heat faster that is a huge benefit to me.

I don't remember the size but the differential fill plug on my truck has an Allen head. I could see different stuff using that enough to just throw it in there, it couldn't have cost them too much.

I picked up these little socket sets for $4. The sets are complete but the 4 loose sockets have the same 1/2 hex openings on the bottom so I figured they were spares or something. Hopefully the pictures work, first time trying this out.

I did something similar with an old J.H.Williams 3/4 ratchet with a seized spanner nut. I sprayed liquid wrench penetrating oil on the nut and in the locking lug/paw hole and then used a propane torch, and a laser thermometer to heat it up, never going over 300f. It took a few cycles but it worked.

I have the Wera hex plus and they are great except for the ball end. You cannot angle it much without it binding and not spinning smoothly, straight on its fine.
