    Any opinion about these tools?

    That's awesome, only a true idiot wouldn't be happy to get that haul. Enjoy

    I need to clean and lube my ratchets

    I put Superlube grease from the tube in mine. It seems to work quite well, so I don't have a reason to change up from it

    Show us your made in China tools.

    How about I just take you to Harbor Freight and I point at all the stuff I have? It'd be easier plus I am get more stuff

    Holy ****, you must make either a ton of money or no money. I must admit, I want one of those little Snap On screwdrivers

    Who has the most screwdrivers on Garage Journal?

    I can't imagine spending so much money in redundant screwdrivers, but the color coordination does make for good pictures. I've never smelled a bad screwdriver, so that's news to me. I do have a reasonable amount of screwdrivers, though. Lots of mismatched "sets" to keep down the bulk. Long...

    Tools you long for but can't justify

    Justify or afford?... I want Gearwrench Bolt Biters in the full range of sizes, then I never want to use them (because that would mean I have lots of rounded bolts if I used them much)

    Tool Truck question

    I don't work for a mechanic shop or business that a tool truck would go to. I do have a small pocket sized Snap On 2 in 1 screwdriver and I bought it online. I'd like to buy another one or two and a couple small pocket screwdrivers (ones that have a flat blade and a magnet, or a flat blade and a...

    Who still uses beam-type torque wrenches?

    Don't act like that to someone interested in learning about something that they don't know a lot about. One can often learn by asking. Obviously not by asking you, but others are willing to help and provide useful insight. I ordered one recently but haven't had anything to use it on yet. It...

    Angle Socket Wrench

    Gotcha, thank you. I'm getting one on ebay for valve cover bolts on an old truck. The open back design will be perfect for it

    Angle Socket Wrench

    I'm honestly not sure what that means. I googled Facom FF75 and they look the same as the others

    Angle Socket Wrench

    I got a cheap set, 8-12 mm. I can think of a use right off the bat with them. However, I can't find any sae sizes. Do they only come in metric?

    What is your opinion on HF tool "branding" ?

    Gee, some common sense. That's rare here. And you didn't think you were the world's greatest comedian by saying "hazard fright" or "horror freight". Well done

    Regular Handled Stubby Screwdrivers

    Craftsman had a set called "Super stubby", but I can only find a few pictures. Nothing even on ebay. They come with two slotted and two Phillips. I'm willing to overpay for a nos package of them

    Regular Handled Stubby Screwdrivers

    I'm not wanting a ratcheting or multi bit driver. I'm hoping to find just regular ones. I'll have to check out that Megadora (cool name too)

    Regular Handled Stubby Screwdrivers

    I cannot find any regular handled stubby screwdrivers. The only ones I see online are no longer produced Craftsman and Pratt Read brand ones. I'm not sure if anyone makes them now or what terms to search for, but I'm having nothing but dead ends. Here's a picture of what I'm looking for. I'd...

    What is your opinion on HF tool "branding" ?

    Sort of like the Chinese made Americans flags

    What is your opinion on HF tool "branding" ?

    Car companies have long been making different names for different price tiers and demographics. My Chevy car is made in Mexico, so it isn't an American car. Anyone thinking a $90 dead blow is $80 better than a $10 Harbor Freight one is crazy. It's all marketing, and almost every business that...

    What is your opinion on HF tool "branding" ?

    Lowe's and Home Depot pretty much do the same thing. Not everything by Snap on is American made or manufactured by Snap on. It really isn't that big of a deal. Pittsburgh is sort of like HDX or Kobalt, store branded. The more expensive brands are often better but a lot of the cheaper stuff is...

    Mechanics: Tips and tricks you've learned

    Sheesh this got off topic for a while, two pages with lots of anecdotes about Pennsylvania.. Those headlight test bulbs are a clever idea; I may have to steal that. Something I've recently learned was always carry a spare relay in your old truck. You can feel how cheap they are and they take...
