    High Tooth Count Ratchets?

    I have a few 32 tooth ratchets their impossible to use with one hand, they feel glunky and are hard to actually use due to how much it takes to actually ratchet, my Proto 24 tooth feels light and smooth, then I recently started buying snap on's dual 80s they are far by the best ratchet's I have...

    Thank's ^ They work I found some junk draper sockets, like this and was rather surprised when it came to undoing manifold bolts, I was expecting it to chew them up something weird but they work surprisingly. I don't understand the reason why they work but I was really surprised, I struggled...

    Non serviceable ratchets

    Wera Ratchet's are non serviceable to my knowledge at least, and I wouldn't consider them junk I like their low profile approche.

    Stahlwille Stabil 20 spanners – bad batch?

    my 600lg 10mm Hazet has incomplete chrome plating in a few spots never thought anything of it. All my german sets, Elora, Padre and Hazet have this ring of non chrome plating where they were pinched while chroming I guess. It's really noticeable on the Hazet, not so much on the Padre and on...

    old scanner for old truck, snap on mt2500

    There's no real way of telling I had to label mine for cars/trucks european, but it's been a while since I used it but if I remember right you plug it in, and it will say what personality key it wants.. if I remember right. I use it on 1998-2003 renault/ford cars, it goes deep into those so I...

    Not impressed with new Channellocks quality

    The way I see it, you get what you paid for I paid £15 for a channel lock set water pump pliers, adjustable wrench and locking pliers. while I paid £30~ for knipex and Gedore.

    Power ratchets vs hand tool ratchets

    I have a 3/8 mini Mac can't remember the product code off top of my head and a Elora 1/2 air ratchet as well, both air, and yes they are super helpful, when a bolt is in a tidus and annoying place which is a lot it will take 5 seconds to get it in and tightened up while with a hand ratch could...

    Tools from the old world

    It's just odd, work's fine on every extension I have, will go onto the ratchet but won't lock or fully seat sometimes, I always though Elora were a little ruff, but this been my first gedore set Im a little disappointed to say the least plus it's not worth the hassle to return, I've always had...

    Tools from the old world

    I dunno if it's just my ratchets, but it didn't really want to go on my halfords one or my elora or my EGA master just a taiwan special it did go on the matador fine though and worked best on that. AS for the bits, they look exactly the same as my Heyco/Elora 1/2 ones, same gun metal finish...

    Tools from the old world

    Almost all bits and socket bits are this so called 'TY' design, They did a video like this 5-7 years ago, weird that they have updated it.

    Tools from the old world

    Basically, one bit is straight T-Bit and the Y bit has cut outs on the end. The cap type go straight down normally a lot deeper while the tapered head type don't they sort of have cut out's, If I had the screws I could show you. The torsion zone stop it from snapping clean off, and The UV is...

    6 point wrench set

    Seeing as your from the UK, tool trucks, or Britool old or Britool hallmark, Laser, Sealey, then all the US brands like Proto/SK so on. Best quality for money would be the Taiwan Britool Hallmark Laser then Sealey. US Bands + Tool truck are obviously much better.

    Why don't Snap on make combination pliers?

    They don't have to and plenty of german companies make the same quality if not better cough cough knipex. They are also far cheaper, well developed I don't think people would buy them in the UK at least, I only see people buying sockets, ratchets, spanners, screwdrivers, pry bars, and that's...
