So my wife has been great about my obsession with quality tools for the garage and her Bday is coming up... So I need some ideas for the PBSwiss, Festool, Snapon of the kitchen world. She already has a great knife set that I brought her back from from Tsjuki in Japan, a bunch of LeCruset...

Anyone have experience with the Festool driver bits? I already have a full set of PBSwiss and love them, but need to purchase a second set so I'm not constantly running back and forth between two locations. The Festool ones look solid, but curious how they hold up compared to PB.

I travel a lot for work.. Most years are 100K plus air miles, so I own a fleet of shipping casses. Been using Pelican products for years, but all of my Swiss and German friends finally talked me into trying Zarges Cases These are built like a tank, weigh way less then Pelican versions and are...

Need a recomendation for a good solid axe. I want something thats going to last and will hold and edge. Not interested in any of those hipster botique axes either. Just something thats super solid and will last for daily use in the forest.

So I ended up picking up a couple of Festool sanders for a really good deal over the weekend (got both sanders for less than $300). My current shopvac brand vacuum is a POS. The wheels keep falling off, the head unity doesnt really seal on it etc... so I have been thinking of replacing it for...

Does anyone make a tool for installing and removing Spirolox retaining rings? I am constantly running into them and they can be a pain in the ***.

Besides making some ridcously expensive tools: http://www.amazon.co.jp/KTC-nepros-ネプロス-漆9-5sq-ラチェットハンドル-NBR390JNF/dp/B01EMKMM5O/ref=sr_1_54?ie=UTF8&qid=1462245407&sr=8-54&keywords=nepros Whats the deal with the brand? Does the quality live up to its price? I'm heading to Japan again this...

I'm trying to find a decent mini grease gun for lubing up the zirks on my mountain bikes. Every one I have tried, leaks like its tryng to make it on wiki links. Been using one of these and its a complete pos.

Ok, I already own a bunch of the Cobra's in different sizes as well as a few of the plier wrenches. I'm sold on there quality, so wanting to dump the rest of my el cheapo **** pliers and invest in a bunch of Knipex... only thing is they have so many different sizes to offer of each, I could...

I'm going toe over in Swiss land for work again in a few weeks. I want to add a bit more to my PB Swiss collection. Got any good ideas for store locations in Zurich or Geneva? Or even better locations around Verbier or Andermatten? I hit the home center's last time, but they had a pretty...

Did PB Swiss stop using the color code size rings on its bit sets? Just got a set of the list by bits but no color size rings. Everything is still anadized according to type.

Been looking to order a bunch of HDPE sheet for a few projects inspired by this thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174553&highlight=tool+organization I've looked quickly via google and amazon, but before I place and order, figured I'd see if you guys have a good source...

So I finally treated myself to the pbswiss torx and hex socket sets for working on my mountain bikes. What do you guys recommend for a really high quality ratchet. Most of the use is relatively low torque and I'm thinking id prefer a smooth high tooth count option. I spend a lot of time in both...

How do the PB Swiss bits hold up for use with an impact driver? Do they last a long time, or would one be better off with a set of the Wera impact bits for impact use, and leave the PB ones for the standard driver?

So I'm in the market for some new pliers. Currently I havea large mix of random cheapies and want to upgrade all of them. I do have a bunch of Knipex plier wrenches and cobra's that I love, but need to invest in some linemens, needle nose, diaganol cutters etc. I know that Knipex and NWS are...

Anyone have any feedback on these? http://revolution-rc.com/our-products/tools/rdrp0083-ultra-wrench-0093-332.html Curious as to how they stack up against Wera / PBswiss, a bit skeptical of the set screws holding the shafts into the handles.

Does anyone make a thread guage for the various sizes and types of pipe fittings? I.E. NPT, compression etc. Got a bunch of random fittings and can never rememeber what one is what.
