    Gearwrench 3/8 Drive Pinless Impact Swivel Sockets

    I decided to place an order for the Sunex 1874 impact master 3/8” set. Price was pretty reasonable. I wish the 1/4” impact master set was as reasonable.

    So it begins...my Craftsman Tools

    Thanks guys I ordered a replacement from eBay it’s a 6pt USA made non laser etched. Should be close enough. These are the tools in my bag. The biggest waste of money in wrenches was the s and c shaped gear wrench ratchets. They did look awesome when I used to have everything on peg board...

    So it begins...my Craftsman Tools

    Well decided to clean out my spare tool bag that usually lives in the trunk of my 67 Mustang. It’s prevented a tow more than once. Turns out almost all of my Craftsman is USA made which was nice to confirm. I am missing a 9/16” 6 pt 3/8 socket. I spent an hour looking for it but with a...

    Should I keep my snap on hand tools?

    You will have time again, not for years, especially if you have more kids but it will come. Both tools will do the job either Craftsman or SO. The question is do you enjoy using SO? For me I am fine with craftsman and even gear wrench. I have a ton of US Craftsman and I don’t do enough work to...

    how is everyone storing their cordless tool collection??

    I much prefer the bags in the Milwaukee kits vs blow mold cases. Much easier and quicker. I keep all my ratchets, impacts and drills in one drawer, I have a couple chargers mounted above my work bench and I keep all the saws in a separate bigger bag. All blades and bits are in another bag...

    I am sure you are more qualified than I. But I agree with others dress the blades very common with smaller blades and fasteners.

    I bought _________, because of Garage Journal.

    I have been coming here for a long time But joined when I needed storage cabinets and landed on NewAge Pro as well. Since joining I’ve bought 13 M12 tools and a few well regarded odds and ends. I’ve resisted quite a few hood deals because I already have very decent tools in those roles...

    Utility Knife Roundup

    I have lots, mostly Stanley which I think is the best. I have a folding Craftsman and now the Folding Milwaukee. I like a bit of heft and good grip.

    8" Wire Wheels for Bench Grinder Man did I have a wire fly off and imbed itself in my hand. So deep. That was a good lesson on safety around wire wheels. Good gloves and eye protection are a must.
