    Are tool truck sockets “worth it” for the professional?

    It is worse than that. If you add the totals for the individual items, it comes to $2950.40 so they are charging $239.60 for the packaging! These are the individual parts...

    Anyone else like Channellocks?

    I noticed yesterday that my local Ace Hardware has these in stock. I am able to use these to remove certain plumbing plugs that I otherwise need to resort to a large very heavy pipe wrench even though I do not need the extra torque (cast iron sewer plugs). I also needed them (but did not have...

    Are tool truck sockets “worth it” for the professional?

    Sometimes I find that there are also additional design features in a specific set. Consider the 1100TMPBFR, a 1/4" socket set...

    Anyone else like Channellocks?

    LOVE these! Have you ever tried (or needed) the really big pair? The number is 480 but they are referred to as "Bigazz" https://www.channellock.com/product/480/ I have mostly used the 480 for plumbing. I think I have a complete set of the straight jaw pliers.

    Zoro Deals Thread

    A few people strongly advocated for that. So some people post the codes directly on the site which means that they are publicly available for anyone who finds them and some people say PM me and I'll send it to you. I understand wanting to keep the codes in use only by members, I also...

    USA Made Fastener Bit Sets?

    Feels doubtful that it is really COO USA, but plausible I suppose. Claims to be made by Radwell on their website; see: https://www.radwell.com/Buy/RADWELL/RADWELL/2599N1 Does Radwell manufacture bits? I never noticed them while searching specifically for USA made bits, which I will admit means...

    Storing Whetstones & Water Stones

    Most of my stones have boxes. If I have a stone without a box and I use it I make my own box. Some of my oil stones come in cardboard boxes; for example, Norton India stones. Those like that off the excess oil with paper towel or similar and then put them back in the cardboard box. In bulk, I...

    Are tool truck sockets “worth it” for the professional?

    The snap-on dealer would be a guy on a truck. A snap-on truck does not come where I work. When I buy from a truck, I send the truck guy an email or text. He orders what I want and I meet him somewhere. I have never had a guy on a truck hand me a receipt. I pay with cash. I would own more snap-on...

    New TEKTON German Made Hammers

    My last purchase of ball peen hammers was for use in classrooms to break windows in case there was an emergency requiring students to exit quickly through windows that were not easily opened. The ball end was deemed A good compromise with an ability to concentrate Force sufficient to easily...

    Are tool truck sockets “worth it” for the professional?

    I took his comment to mean that snap-on refused to warrant a broken socket so he no longer trusted them to honor any warranty. As a result, he chose to buy SK and Proto. I had a problem with one SK tool and SK took care of it right away. SK told me to throw the old one in the trash and sent me...

    3/8 6mm impact socket ... do I need?

    If you ignore your garage journal OCD tendencies to want to fill every spot, I think the real reason for filling those with 3/8 is if it is strictly a 3/8 set and you think you can maybe not bring an extra 1/4 set because you have those smaller sizes and the 3/8 set. Or if you happen to be...

    Accurate dial tire gauge

    I've been very happy with all my digital products from Jaco. I assume that any non-digital products from the same company would have the same level of accuracy... So based on recommendations from here, I own several of these https://a.co/d/2JfIDbo Those strictly measure pressure and nothing...

    Are tool truck sockets “worth it” for the professional?

    I remember the last time I bought a flannel shirt from kmart in the early 80's. I put it on and tucked it in and it was so flimsy it almost immediately shredded (less than two minutes wear) so I returned them all. I find that Carhartt and deluth hold up. Not familiar with Louis Vuitton. So I...

    Amazon Deals on New Retail Items - Post them!

    The other looks to be from Japan so probably better quality (guessing based on not much) but I ordered essentially what you linked because I drive from a further distance And usually when I want to use something like that I don't want to be driving it. 2 inches from the bolt I want to drive it...

    Tekton and Screwdriver Pricing Nonsense
