    Exactly. Some situations you absolutely don't want the socket falling off.

    NEW TEKTON LOCKING and WOBBLE EXTENSIONS

    I had a set of the craftsman locking 1/4" extensions that I got as a gift, probably late 90's. They worked fine when new but the durability wasn't good. The release button is plastic and they all ended up breaking eventually. I have the GW & Harbor Freight locking 3/8" same basic mechanism as...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    That's a shame. I have the 7pc set in wood box, drilled hundreds of nice clean holes in wood with them over the past 15yrs or so.

    Kowa T Handle Socket Wrenches

    I have the Koken T's in 8mm and 10mm. As someone mentioned earlier, you can do a lot with those two. I can have the seat, tank, bodywork off my MX bike in less than 5 minutes. Dirt bikes are the application where these tools are worth having. Drop them in the footpegs and they're right...

    Koken 2726ZB-3/8 arrived on 12/23, I had ordered it from amazon.jp 10/11/2023. Shipping was fairly quick, it was on backorder for a while, almost forgot I ordered it. Nice little ratchet. edit 12/27/2023, add photo with snap-on ratchet

    Question about sockets

    Thanks! Mine is about the same. Mostly 16 & 18 but the occasional 15 (I forget where) and 17 (wheel bolts, alternator B+ cable nut, and other random places). The engine swap wasn't overly difficult, just a lot of steps. I tagged every electrical connector and vac hose during disassembly...

    Question about sockets

    The BMW I'm working on is a 2003, I think it must have been a transitional era from DIN to ISO or something. I need pretty much every size from 8mm to 19mm- except 12mm, I don't think I've encountered those on this car. I just did an engine swap though, so I was into just about everything under...

    Question about sockets

    I recently removed & installed intake & exhaust mahifolds on BMW M54 inline six. Studs are 7mm thread, hex nuts are 11mm. That 1/4 drive 11mm socket has been hanging around my toolbox since the 90s, taking up space! Finally had its moment in the sun. I really didn't think I'd ever use it.

    Suggestion for extremely small wrench or socket

    This is the tool that's designed for the job, if you have room for it. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/motion-pro-tappet-adjuster-tool

    Pratt-Read is closing

    Saw this a few days ago on local CL. https://lancaster.craigslist.org/tld/d/pottstown-al-handles-facility-closure/7399842740.html Local news article from 2019 says they made handles "mostly for Sears and Craftsman"...
