    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    Thank you for jumping in. Pullers? Can you give me more information? I assume a pulley type puller, but want to be clear. Also, do you recommend a brand? As far as allen wrenches, I took advantage KC Tool's current sale on the Heyco Metric Ball End Hex T-handle Set and the Wera 133164...

    Do you have an online source for KABO wrenches? I have been looking at the Wright brand wrenches mentioned by Dave455 and though they would be great. How do the KABO and Wright wrenches compare?

    Dang! some of the Vessel screwdrivers look amazing. Do you have an online source for them? I had originally though about sticking to as few of brands as possible but as you and others have pointed out going with multiple manufactures based on their strengths makes sense to me. I will have to...

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    I have gathered that people here do not like the Wera Joker wrenches, but am not sure why. Can you elaborate? I like different, that is one thing I'm going after with the new shop. My mentor has a Wera screwdriver set that I like using. I though getting myself one would be a good way to...

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    I guess I should clarify this point. I have been running my own small woodworking shop since 2013. Recently I have been contracted to establish a new commercial millwork shop that caters to a high end clientele. They have asked me to put together my "dream shop" on a large scale.

    Thank you for the explanation Dave455, I was unaware of this style. I wish you had not told me about Nepros ratchets. Their tools are beautiful! The Williams are probably beyond good enough for my needs, but I can't stop thinking of the Nepros ratchets.

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    I can understand the frustration if you spend the time to try to help or answer a persons questions and never hear another peep form them. I can relate. Other than spending a lot of time on VW Vortex about 20 years ago I am not a regular forum user. The only other forum I use, everyone uses...

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    I am curious about suggestions for locking plier options. My original list included one set from Knipex, but I am thinking I would like a medium and small pair. Does anyone have a suggestion for locking pliers?

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    Are there regularly AI bots that post to this forum? I do not understand why the continued accusation. What on earth would possibly be gained? I appreciate the thoughtful feedback from members like Boogerman, Dave 455 and neophyte. I have been able to discover many better options for my current...

    I had no idea how many adjustable size wrenches there could be. Is there a site online where you purchase your Irega tools?

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    Based on other comments I have been trying to reduce my initial purchase. One of my questions was going to be 1/4" or 3/8" ratchet set. Thanks for beating me to the punch. I think starting with a 3/8" set makes the most sense. The kit you posted looks very affordable. Do you know if it USA...

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    Please excuse my ignorance. What is an "open jaw" design? I have been looking at the Williams ratchets, is there a good way to know if they are the ones made in the USA? I also like the look of the Nero ratchets. Thank you for mentioning them.

    Purchasing Full New Tool Set

    You make a good point about placing my order before I have the machinery on site. I think you and another poster are correct in that I may only need metric tools for the shop. Perhaps I will focus on getting a nice set of screw drivers, allen keys, and a few pliers now (to take advantage of...

    I like the looks and the price of the Craftsman V series Wrenches, thank you for the suggestion. Growing up we had a Facom ratchet set that I remember being great to use. I think I will replace the Were wrenches with these on my list.

    Thank you for the reply Davefr! I will take a look at Gearwrench and Texton wrenches. From what others posters wrote it sounds like Wera is good for screw drivers and allen keys. John
