Of interest, RJR Cool Tools describes their Vessel bit drivers as DIN 5260 (JIS-Type) while Ames' states their screwdrivers are compliant with Japanese industrial standard JIS 4633B-3/1991 and DIN/ISO standard 5260. www.rjrcooltools.com/vessel.cfm www.amessupply.com/products1....DE&fid=1404070

I believe the link below implies Snap-on screwdrivers meet Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS 4633B-3/1991). http://www.katun.com/products/toolsjis.html "Katun provides Snap-on screwdrivers (and Katun-brand screwdrivers, manufactured by Snap-on) that meet all Japanese Phillips specifications...

I as a kid was also warned of chalk powder/talc. I was told it may contain asbestos. This may have been the basis of your father's concerns. http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/cosmetics/talc.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos#Asbestos_and_talc

A torque multiplier is a tiny transmission (gear reduction).

Mayhew vs OTC vs ??? pry bar sets Has anyone here used either of these sets? I'm looking to purchase a set so input and comments are welcome regarding these two or any other set. Thanks.

... and 1 more makes it 3.

To clarify, I'm referring to 1/2" Dr, 6pt, deep, metric, non-impact sockets. (All three companies offer 6pt, deep in 1/4" - 1/2" Dr, SAE and 1/4" - 3/8" Dr, Metric.) Will you provide a link or source? Thanks.

Does anyone know why 1/2"dr, 6pt, deep metric sockets are not offered by Proto, Armstrong or Williams? The SAE equivalents are there but no metric.(?) Thanks.

Pics of the 36mms. The Gray 36mm is a brute.

It's give and take between the two sets. The Grays have a heavier/solid feel & a better finish (almost too pretty to use), although, I like the Proto design and the satin finish better. Also, some of the Proto open ends have burring/tearing from the shearing/manufacturing process. I'd like to...

I recently purchased a Proto 26pc wrench set (7mm-30mm, 32, 36mm) and all was well until the other day while picking up a few Gray ratchets from a Kijiji listing, I was offered an used Gray 19pc wrench set (9-10mm, 12-13mm, 16mm, 18-19mm, 21-30mm, 32, 36mm) at a price I could not refuse. Well...

It's just an older Pentax *ist as there is a lot I need to learn. Hopefully someday I'll be in position to upgrade to Canon. Thanks.

"Does anybody buy 3/4" Socket sets anymore?" I recently purchased this set (SAE & metric) on sale for $119 CDN. This along with my 36" (3/4"dr) breaker bar easily removed a hub nut my 1/2"dr couldn't budge.
