    SUPER Thin Wall 14mm Spark Plug Socket Needed - Anyone with a lathe? Will pay!

    There are a few lurking around, but I am by no means an authority on their validity.

    The lowly drip pan...

    My favorite ever was the Rubbermaid that they discontinued decades ago... But honestly if the one you had was working, grab another and continue on!

    I'll never buy a tool box with a credit card ever again.

    It's a mass-produced item, not a singular piece of art. There will be a box waiting for the penny saver when he's ready.

    Any difference in vise grips?

    Sets for car toolboxes? I don't think you need to go that nice - especially if they run the risk of getting lost/stolen. I've found my most useful ones are a cheapo set of 4" long nose, followed by an 11" Bremen C Clamp.

    New CAPRI XL Reversible Flex Head Ratcheting Wrench Set

    I actually sold my Mountains and snagged the ICONs on sale instead for this very reason. When these things come out to play, something's going on, so I want local service if there's a snafu. I just wish there was an effective way of tensioning the pivot to whatever angle I may need to start at.

    Cordless mini Chainsaw that does not leak oil?

    The DeWalts will puke oil if you don't store them on their side, or do an abnormal amount to work to the case/tank Yes - draining is what they correctly recommend, but I just using canola oil, so if a little gets out, no biggie.

    I did the same, but I think I got the Limited Vampire Edition Super easy fix, but amusing nonetheless. I can't help but think the $15 2-Packs are Lisle seconds or something? Either way - hopefully they come in handy, although I've made it decades without them and still somehow managed...

    First sign of the G2 Icon ratchets ….

    Oddly enough, my main trouble is actually things getting super dusty and then getting slippery. The chrome tools tend to get slick with the fine moon dust that gets all over the vehicles. I am tolerant of either grip style and have both at the ready, but at least dusty soft grips clean easy!

    Buying hand tools locally is a crapshoot...

    Same... Maybe Lobtex/Lobster or Fujiya? Both have great tolerances and/or features that the typical cheapo adjustable does not.

    Icon Snap on long nose talon pliers coming out soon?

    Nice! I look forward to not buying those either. :LOL: eta: but for real, they look pretty decent. Nice padded grips and currently a ton cheaper than the Carlyle's
