What is difference b/w purchasing a marketed light therapy box or lamp vs. just buying a natural daylight light bulb (ex. OttLight CFL)? Do the CFL natural daylight bulbs produces nec. LUX and are they emitting harmful UV????? Anyone with experience in SAD lighting and natural lighting? The...

Looking at the proxene site the Gray adjustable jaws look like the HP model, but i cannot see the rest of the wrench handle. The proxene site wants a login. I am more then happy with my Gray adjustables. Have 8", 10" and 12". The 8" stays home, the other two in the service/road box.

The NAPA deal is still good though, but I only need a couple of the hex sockets, i don't need to replace a set. As mentioned i already have my commonly used hex sockets in Snappy and MC.

Just got the 18 piece 1/2 drive hex set. For 14$ cannot beat that. I was looking at the NAPA deal. problem is that i have most hex stuff in 3/8 drive already but only up to 3/8, but lately I have needed 1/2 and 3/4 hex for some terminal lugs on some big 2000 amp breakers. Even though CT is...

I also cannot stand phillips head srews. I much prefer Robertson or hex head!

Friend has old panel and has hi heat generated from main breaker in his house panel, need to replace, connections tight but much dicoloration on the load side bus screw.

Re: Current Bench Vise Brands Available New in US and/or Canada Awesome Thread! Bump, bump!

One solution for avoiding losing tools to other techs is too use different brands. Popular brands in the shop and with the road techs is craftsmen and mastercraft. So I use different brands so everyone knows whose is whose. We had one tech many years ago that would take shop supplies home all...

Also New Holland rebrands Grip-On at fraction of price, if you are doing serious work get any of the rebranded Grip-On. If you are casual DIY, just get Vice Grip. There are plenty of NOS Vice Grip out there, go get em!

I also have half a dozen zipper pouches that keep stuff together. I am always on the road and do not have the lux. of a roll cab, but my tools need to come with me, so leaving them in a tool box in the truck does not work. I have several hand boxes that carry all my tools, i need to be mobile.

I also carry the canvas klien bag. Use daily. It contains my screwdrivers, multimeter and clamp meter. Also my snappy 8" adjustable my slip joint, needle nose, adjust. joint, dykes and linesman. It comes with me to every job. I like it for weight. My wrenches, sockets and ratchets are...

I have and use both! Klien 2000 series, tops. Linemans, dykes and needle nose klien first. I use channelock as well, dykes and needlenose not as good as klien IMO. Klien are heftier and pricy. Have not tried knipex. Buy each plier in both brands, you decide!

Snappy AD8A! Followed by Gray 10" adjustable!

I have the CASE IH branded williams. Honestly, IMHO the non-knurled shaft is a non issue. 30-35$ williams vs 70$ for SO, Williams hands down. Good ratcheting mech. and the exact same bits. When torque involved get a standard driver.

Memories! Back in the eighties I worked at the Oetiker plant in Alliston Ontario. I used to punch and assemble the pliers used to pinch the ears. I use the clamps today and my pliers are the the knipex. At one time Oetiker made the pliers themselves. What a great summer job that was!

I use Pink Solution to clean most of my tools.

Use mine for removing engine components,water pumps, or thermo housings or anything that I don't want damaged!

Try the comfort handle for a while, you may be suprised at how well they hold up. I have a 3/8 comfort grip, and it has held up well in oil, diesel grease and such. I clean when it gets to dirty with pink solution. The comfort handle in my opinion is really good and feels good in the hand. I...

Carry one in tool box for small stuff, really handy!

Good to see the Canadians chatting on the forum, for a while there i thought i was the only one, besides Racoon! Cannot forget Etek!
