eBay. There were multiple sellers for this impact driver, I just went with one of the highest rated that shipped for free. It's cheap enough that you don't have to pay an import tax. No currency exchange fee or anything like that for the buyer. The seller I bought from was very friendly and good...

I threw a little write up in the "Tools of Japan" thread as well but thought this would fit in here too. I bought this last week and impressively enough it made it to my door in 4 days from Osaka Japan to Illinois. Out of the box, well, I can't read anything because it's not in english. The...

I also damaged my Armstrong ratchet a while back, rounded off part of the pawl that has those same internals. I found a repair kit on ebay last winter, however, the repair kit was listed for more than what I could buy an entire ratchet for, so I never repaired it because it seemed un-economical...

That ratchet looks awesome! :rocker:

Fuller pliers I bought second hand with little to no wear for relatively cheap (maybe $10?) and they live in my grab tool bucket and have been quite handy and feel like they're of solid quality...

I think that you'd be better off buying something new. +1 for U.S. General being a great value. Lot's of people on here have good things to say about U.S. General. I have a "newer" husky rolling work bench/tool chest and I really like it (pictured below). No complaints, built very solid and the...

I have tried Cat, Timberland, Red Wing, Thorogood, Wolverine, Nike, and Danner. For me, the most comfortable is the Thorogood wedge sole boots, I personally like the 8" Moc Toe (just my preference). I have also consistently used superfeet green insoles in these boots (something I use in all my...

I have no personal experience with owning my own torque adapter, so I don't want to talk out of place, but I have heard good things about ACDelco torque adapters and have borrowed one form a friend of mine. he likes it. He hasn't had any problems with it. Only problem is sometimes it's a little...

Well, I've only ever owned one snap on ratchet in my life, my FL749 10" long handle 3/8" drive. It's very smooth. It has a nice handle. Outside of the black plastic switch mechanism to change ratchet directions I think it's a good looking ratchet. The only major "downfall" is that the ratchet...

I personally don't like two wheel carts because they're a little more awkward to maneuver. However, for people who struggle to balance a one wheel, by all means two wheel is a good option. I really don't like plastic tubs because they crack and break so easily, especially if you live in a...

For about $150 you could look at Dewalt and Icon For about $200 you could look at SK I also agree with the sentiment that if the used torque wrench can be calibrated and proven to be accurate, then I'd see no problem with buying used.

I took a few stickers and added a few stickers. I dropped the box off at the post office earlier today. On its way to @Michael B. there’s a lot in the box! Took me about 2.5 hours of dedicated focus to sort through it all and pick a handful out.

I received the package yesterday, 4/23. I’m traveling for work the next two days but will get it sent out as soon as I’m back, and I have already received the address from Michael B. so we’re in good shape!

Good to note on the faceplate difference. I hadn’t noticed that when I was looking through their website

The Capri Tools logo is, indeed, a goat head. I don't know anything about the company's history. According to Wikipedia... "Capra is a genus of mammals, the goats, composed of up to nine species, including the markhor and many species known as ibexes. The domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a...

Hey everyone! I haven't seen much information out there in the GJ forums about Capri ratchets so I thought I would share my initial unboxing thoughts and then can update this post as I use it over the coming months. I purchased this 3/8" drive flex head ratchet earlier this week and it showed...

That was a very well written, detailed, and illustrated write up. The project looks phenomenal! Thank you for sharing! I do plan to use the wire I buy for more than just brake jobs, that’s just the first immediate use I’ll have for it. Hanging things for spray painting will be another. Maybe...

I fully support and am pleased with products from Taiwan. The people’s republic of China… not so much. For tools I try to look for Taiwan, USA, Japan, or European companies.

I've actually watched that video a few times now, its very informative. I have been considering the SK or Matco for my use based on this video alone. A decent combination of price and quality. I don't enjoy using junk tools that just plain ****, but I also don't need the top tier Snap-On for...
