They're significantly cheaper, made in America, sturdy, very good quality, strong, have a warranty, they're really big. Several reasons.

The pawn shops here pretty much have junky tools, old electronics, VHS tapes, trump garbage, and Walmart brand guitars. If you want to pay $8 for a hollow handle hammer that came in a 78 piece set at Christmas time, I can show you a few places that will help you in your search.

Deadblow hammers are invaluable tools when force is needed and damage isn't

I bought it because it was on a random Amazon sale, and I knew it'd be good quality and was American made. I put it in a spare socket tool box and just sort of forgot about it. I'm going to start using it

I got a Wright 3400 ratchet a while back and have only used it a few times (been using a few others instead). The rubber handle is kind of neat. It feels pretty indestructible and, in spite of it not being a modern 400 tooth ratchet, works really well Wright 3400 owners, your input on these...

I know many Americans who I wouldn't want to purchase anything they had a hand in making because they're stupid, incompetent idiots. Regardless, it is odd and sort of nice that Walmart sells something American made

Blow molded ones will likely be a difficult fit, as different brands have slightly different lengths and circumferences. I've never been able to reuse a blow mold for anything different and just throw them away. Low profile took boxes mentioned above are great. I have two vintage "Handy Andy"...

Adults who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", but that isn't tool related

That was my point. It keeps conversations going and fresh. The stubby Tekton 1/4 ratchet is super handy as well. I love tiny ratchets

Titan micro swivel #11313. I got it from O'Reilly Auto. If you need something extremely convenient, this is it. Anything requiring lots of force usually requires something bigger, but it's what I use most because if the swivel and small size

YouTube "reviews" and unboxing videos. Nobody wants to know if a tool feels "nice in the hand", "has good chrome", or is "nice looking". Show how well it works, how you use it, test it out, push it to limits, etc. A review of a brand new tool isn't a review, it's just a waste of time. Unboxing...

Crocs actually makes decent looking sneakers. They're extremely comfortable and easy on my plantar fasciitis. I hate to admit Crocs are a favorite of mine, but they're so comfort that I don't care

I ordered a pair of Fujiya Screw Pliers from Amazon. Apparently a Japanese company and these are made in Vietnam according to some comments. They're about $16 and they have similar workings as Engineer/ vampliers and Knipex Twin Grip. Amazon link Anyone heard of/ used these? They'll be...

I want to go there.. the ones in town want $1-2 per socket, unless it's brand name, in which they charge more at the counter

I have been looking for affordable 1/4 low profile sockets and gave up. I just bought the suggested Power Torque ones. Thanks

They're great. I see no point in getting more expensive ones so far

Self adjusting locking pliers. They're made by Tea Correct, from Advance Auto Parts. Super handy. Regular locking pliers are probably "better", but I have several of every size and they're great

This was going well then got pretty strongly off topic.. Dollar Tree has oil drain pans that are $1. I've never had any problem with them. They're good for their intended use, but also (to be on topic) great for rust dissolving longer tools. A good depth, can minimize the amount of fluid used...

The plastic cap of a spray can to cover battery terminals. Worked on a Jeep that had the battery cables keep flipping back to the terminals.
