not only does K&N pick SAE instead of metric for there oil filters but they pick a sae size that is non standard for sae sizes

I bet they call them 12.7mm but the real question isn’t what the tool companies call them but what nickname do regular tool people use.

you always make good posts @Nobody-named-Olli. Between you and dave you make us all look bad with your picture game 😍 but now I just got to know what this triangular tool is that looks like it has three socket ends or are they fixed

That thread is specific about wrenches above 1.5” and I’m asking about wrenches sized 3/4” to 1”

This been discussed many times about sharing metric and SAE and I looked at a chart and I think the major metric big sizes are 41 and 46 and 50 it looks like 41 and 46 are close enough to sae but 50 is kinda between two sae. And yea maybe you run into a weird size metric but honestly I’m...

It’s a round number and people would complain where’s the 1”

Yea but I’m not talking about increments I’m talking about max size of 19mm versus 1 inch as the stopping point but your point could be there’s more mm tools since the increment size is smaller so they don’t want to sell more expensive sets of more pieces to run to 24mm

When you see common sets of tools be it wrenches be it sockets be it whatnot, the metric sizes always include 10 to 19mm and the SAE sometimes stop at 3/4” which is the approximation of 19mm but more oft than not they run to 1” So leads me to wonder what causes this and I came up with thoughts...

RBRT https://www.mactools.com/collections/r-b-r-t Id be worried of marring up the fastener heads and causing problems over time to use as a daily driver wrench tbh. I’d get them and only use if I needed. id also buy new factory bolts and nuts to replace the ones that you got frozen and rusty...

Maybe there for machine shop tool spindles to lock and unlock bits of larger sizes but then if they were I guess honestly they’d be a machinists wrench and not an engineers wrench

20-22 double end wrench. Skips 21mm perfect.

I’d like to see some of y’alls big wrench wall setups. Wondering how they look on the wall even though I don’t need them I like to look in case I find them for $3 some day 🤣

if I’m eating that much cheese you better save some money for a few rolls of toilet paper to the topic of the day, I don’t like quick release because I think I’m more likely to disengage and drop a socket than save a bit of time taking sockets off. if I was doing alot of quick socket changes...

Another tool I didn’t know existed that I need just in case 🤣🤣

How you guys storing these big wrenches and keeping them organized? The big ones are honestly real heavy and take up alot of a drawer and idk if organizers are really built for big wrenches

that’ll be real useful if you got to adjust any large construction hydraulics inside a meth lab and want to keep it from sparking and blowing up 🤣

Honestly I never used big wrenches like these but I wonder are you using the open side more or the closed side? Since there so big and expensive for quality ones I wonder if your better off with double open end if your using for hydraulics or double closed end if using for bolts and nuts. But...

There’s a plumbing forum somewhere that a guy bought some old valves and he’s asking what kinda tool is used to turn them.

damn you make a good point it doesn’t really make sense to buy a special sharpener and put in effort to sharpen it if I’m just burning out a few small like 1/8” drill bits per year. i was hoping I could do something quick and easy with the flat diamond stones I already got. But honestly if I’m...

I need to sharpen some drill bits and never did it before but I sharpened alot of knives feeehand on diamond stones. Can I watch a YouTube on drill bits and do a good job that way or is it too hard to hold the angles?
