Could you please tell me what those yellow pliers(?) with the sliding thing on the handle are called? (lower row of pliers, 5th from the right)

Well yes, but a little more to it, maybe I'm overthinking it. My question to you then, if you had to replace your sockets, would you buy both the pinless and pinned types, or would you just buy the pinless type? (just forget that they're impact for a sec)

Yea, my thought isn't about impact vs chrome, sorry for the confusion. I think the pictures might've confused more than helped, but I changed the bottom one now to hopefully show it better.

I've looked through various threads that talked about this topic, but I didn't feel they gave me a straight answer for this question. I'm looking at 3/8 sets really because I want swiveling sockets for use with ratchets and I was looking at this Matco set...

If they're thinner ones like these then yes, I have a GW ratchet wrench set in one But my thicker CMan ones like these won't fit (talking about the Ernst gripper racks)

I guess I don't quite understand, some guys mentioned not doing messy jobs with soft grips. Why is this? The last relatively messy job I did involved an auto ****** (obviously with quite a bit of ATF), using a comfort grip ratchet, which I felt gave me a better grip on it over just a chrome...

While not a tech yet (in school), it's not that I don't care where my S/O ratchets are made because I do, but I don't mind the lack of a USA stamping.

Must be a discontinued C-clamp, I can't seem to find it on Snappy's site :bounce: JK :beer:

I've been looking for a swivel set myself, and I've been seriously eyeballing this set from Genius Tools. http://www.geniustools.net/Products/readset.aspx?item=TG-312M&back=searchproducts.aspx I had never heard of this brand but after searching a bit, even finding many positive results from...

I haven't tried it for myself although I'm planning to, but I've read of people using some lacquer marker/sticks, like these http://www.micro-tools.com/store/SearchByKeyword.aspx?word=paint+stick For their price, it's worth a try I suppose.

Damn, this thread is kinda bummin me out lol... some stuff to keep in mind here.

Got a brand new, never used, brake spring retainer. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=12366&group_ID=1676&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog $18 shipped via USPS Flat Rate Box Paypal only please.

Maybe some bed of nails leads, they've come in handy for me a few times. Fluke branded ones, kinda short tho http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001FS9DO/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I believe Ernst makes the soft grip wrench racks for S/O, I could be wrong though. I have the Ernst ones and they're great, they hold the wrench with just enough force to keep them in place if you move the rack around, but you can easily lift a wrench up with two fingers...

Well, I have a drop light but sometimes it can be a hassle to unwrap the cord and find an outlet when I only need it for a minute or two, and its bulkiness can get in the way under the hood. That's a nice little light though, I can already see how it would come in handy.

I don't know any part numbers off the top of my head, but I know Matco has socket sets that have their socket sizes colored into each socket, red - std/blue - metric. Actually, I just looked on their site, and it looks like most of their sets come marked like that. If it helps identify a size...

There was someone here who posted pics about something, and in the background you could see they used wrenches as handles for some drawers. I forgot who/where though...

Ok, thanks for taking the time to measure it. Are there any other sizes you'd suggest?

I had a quick question; Anyone know if this double sided socket here, http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=12374&group_ID=1676&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog has the same sizes as these two individual tools...

Agree with OP and this too, thought it was just me. As far as the SPEED ch., I enjoy Truck U far more.
