    Advice from a Tool Truck Guy on How to Be a Good Customer

    My balance with my SO driver is $0.00 and it's been like that for over 5 years. I buy stuff when I need it and pay cash (or debit) the entire amount.

    Worst impact sockets?

    About 10 years ago, I was helping my cousin part out an old sugarcane hauling truck that was rusted beyond hand tools.

    Origin of the Carlyle . Wrench

    I have a bunch of Carlyle rotoheads, a couple quick release locking flex head ratchets and the extra long box wrenches - all made in Taiwan. I also have a Carlyle battery terminal remover that I use to pull windshield wiper arms and that's made in USA.

    Estwing, are they moving production?

    As a geologist, I love my Estwing rock hammer. It's been through many Kilauea Volcano eruptions, Mojave Desert and the Grand Canyon. I use the 3 lb drilling and 2 lb ball peen hammers working on vehicles. I hope they'll still make most in USA.

    Are Petersen Era Vise Grips That Much Better?

    I just got the 10" curved jaw Eagle Grips from Amazon at $45 to compliment the 7" curved jaw I got when Eagle Grip first opened. It's just sad they couldn't make a go of it and hope they don't sell to Great Star of Huangzhou like SK. I compared the Petersens to Chinese Irwins and Milwaukees...

    Shopping for a higher level bi-directional scan tool

    I have the Thinktools ProS and SNap-on Zeus. The ProS is a little bit faster on the connect and the topology is a big help and use it as my first choice for scanning codes and some bi-directional triggers. I use the SO for more in-depth diganostics and graphing plus it has a 4-channel scope...

    Malco Eagle Grips from a different perspective.

    They priced themselves out of the market, plain and simple. I have 1, a 10" curved jaw and not planning on getting anymore. I have a bunch of original Petersen's from garage sales and that fits my needs.
