    vaughn vs. estwing

    I only use estwing because they simply work. They're indestructible, affordable, and American. I have about a dozen of different hitting things by them. Their rock collecting tools are great too

    Why are spark plug tools 3/8 drive?

    That's nice for you. Not every expensive ratchet is slim. My thinnest ratchet is from O'Reilly.. Does everyone here just wait to change spark plugs until they're rusted and heat welded in place? A routinely serviced vehicle can certainly have spark plugs freed with a 1/4" ratchet. There's also...

    Why are spark plug tools 3/8 drive?

    Sheesh some people are daft and quick to jump to "I DO IT THIS WAY SO NO ONE ELSE SHOULD DO DIFFERENTLY" I have a 1/2" drive socket and I don't think I've used it. I would love to have a 1/4 drive socket. Not everybody lives in salt belts, has a rusted junker, or tightens everything like a...

    Why does Harbor Freight stock so many kinds of cheap screwdrivers?

    Exactly. This way, the blathering idiot know it all's on the internet can ... continue to be blathering idiots? You can always tell when a user is truly a fool when they say "no, YOU'RE wrong" in some capacity and follow it up with countless paragraphs. I really like the "pitiful" red and...

    Husky versus Kobalt for wrenches and sockets

    I prefer Husky and Home Depot over Kobalt and Lowe's. Husky can take beatings at work, as well as normal use just fine. Kobalt always seemed cheap and junky to me. I would never recommend parts store brands. They're always changing companies and they're hard to warranty, which is a big deal to me.

    Does anyone really need wire strippers?

    Using anything besides wire strippers to strip wire with is absolutely stupid. I use them almost daily as a mechanic. It isn't a $1500 tool, so there's no excuse

    youtube channel on tools

    Ignore any video where the guy has a stupid expression on his face in the thumbnail, as if he's trying to pretend to be confused that his picture is being taken. Those videos are guaranteed to be worthless and annoying. Unboxing videos are essentially useless since they never test the tool, let...

    Quinn Screwdrivers?

    The 2 Quinn (flat and ph2) and the aforementioned Pittsburgh (that same set) have been nothing short of great. I don't hammer or pry with them; I use them as screwdrivers. I see no need to spend money on PB Swiss, Snap on, Mac, expensive European brands. The Quinns are a little heavier. Both are...

    Maglites-Old school bulbs

    I really like maglites and completely acknowledge that there are better flashlights. You could probably find a lot of cheap, barely used ones and put those bulbs in them. Nothing wrong with Maglites, in spite of what millennials know it all's who are obsessed with flashlights they'll never...
