    Which chain clip pliers?

    For the Tsunoda, IMO, depends on if you need 2-way and / or compact size. I have the pliers below, minus the KT-801-1, and if you can afford the space, I think serve different purposes. Recognize this is an older post, but didn't see an answer. Tsunoda Chain Clip Pliers KT-802-1: Full sized...

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    Very much appreciated, but looking at where I have to work I don't think I'll always have room for the Tekton Wrenches. Area is pretty tight, that said, very cool applications in the tools I want, that I may need, that I think I have to have category!

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    Thank you for the great advice Mr Gunderson. Would you recommend starting with Williams Crow Feet, and fill in with Snap-On (if required) for standard "open end" wrenches? Also, if I may ask, what are the brands you mentioned above that did not hold up well? I have a Snap-On store 15 minutes...

    Bi-Directional Scan Tool Help - Pro-Sumer / DIY

    Looking for a bi-directional diagnostic tool. The ability to program keys would be a huge win, and scope capability highly desired, but not required. Recognize subscription service is a thing, some have free lifetime. My newest car is a 2023, the rest, much, much older, but still OBD-2. All...

    I have a very comprehensive collection of Z-Eal / Z-Series sockets, extensions, ratchets, hex/torx/E-Torx bit and standard sockets in metric in 1/4-1/2, except 3/8 and 1/2 SAE because I don’t use it (or at least incredibly rare), with the exception of impacts, and I have the KTC specially...

    Ko-Ken Surface Drive vs. Snap-On Surface Drive Sockets

    Already done! I’ve spent a lot of time in Japan and pretty loaded out with everything I could reasonably justify or carry. I’m a solid Ko-Ken Z-Eal/Z-Series ratchet, socket, universal, and extension guy, but KTC Nepros for bits and wrenches though. Intended use would be powder coated...

    Radiator Coolant Fill / Purge / Pressure Tester Recommendation Kit / Tool Recommendation Help

    Although the case isn't a requirement I hate having to chase down loose components and adapters - blow mold is a space destroyer, but it is nice to keep all the junk together and without it I'm sure the bits and pieces will get lost to the kit. Good to know, and mostly, just filling. Not...

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    Gotcha, but I won't support the PRC in my toolbox. If it was an emergency / squeeze different, but I'm looking to acquire a nice set, ideally with a nice USA flag on the box.

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    That's great advice! Sounds like I have a few great options, but the key is start with Snap-On in regular Crowfoot and then expand to the flare nut wrenches. Would you consider the Williams Open End Crowfoot wrenches to be superior to Tekton? Thank You

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    100% - and I have seen and worked on some of those, thankfully not on my vehicle(s) so far. I'm in the "better have it - than need it" game on this one, worst case I hand off some great tools to one of my three sons. One has already been loaded up on the old man's Craftmsan collection from the...

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    Fantastic! Would you choose those over the Snap-On / Tekton or as another weapon against stripped fasteners and time? Thank you! I failed to list this to keep my extensions in the proper place.

    Crowfoot Wrench Set Recommendations - Flare Nut & Standard Open End

    Quick Snap-On question - I noticed there are older 210FRHM sets with stamped markings and newer Flank Drive 210FRHMA sets. Is there any performance difference or marketing?
