I’m putting together a small box (Toyo ST350) of Japanese tools. In trying to keep up with weight and space savings I decided to go with hex bits and a driver handle. What I didn’t realize is that the Japanese don’t seem to do much in the way of basic hex driver handles. I’m not a huge fan of...

Not sure if these have been shown before, but I was not familiar with them at all. While placing an order at Harry Epstein, I was browsing the IPS pliers and bought these on a whim. They are unique (to me) in that the middle slip joint is unassisted, but the two outer joins are spring assisted...

They are! I’ve made a point of using both Max90’s for the past two days and they are nice. The handle is pretty darn good.

Finally got to my Mac Axis equivalent to the Max90. Here are some side x side pics. Both are 1/4” drive.

I posted a picture of the tag.…. I’m assuming that since it’s ”made in USA with global materials”, that @CoThG and @MaverickDMD have discovered more detail on where component production and assembly occur.

Can you guys point me to where you find these are made in Taiwan or “not America”? I’m curious to understand the detail, and have not made contact with SB&D to inquire.

1/4” and 3/8” Mac Max90 ratchets. More detail here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/new-mac-axis-ratchets.544161/#post-11600028

I have Mac axis ratchets that I’ve been satisfied with. I have a bunch of Proto ratchets that I really like. Comparing the 1/4” versions of the Max90 and Proto, the new Mac is larger in head dimension and not nearly as smooth feeling as the Proto. The new Mac handle is quite nice and would be...

- Made in USA of global materials. - Snap ring cover plate

Got a pair. 1/4” & 3/8” fixed head.

THANKS a million! Really appreciate your time on that.

Thank you for that! I checked, and my local library does not have 3D printers. I spoke to my cousin and he has access to “all the printing I could need”! So if the file does show up, I’ll be ready.

I don’t have access to a printer, but might be able to find something. Don’t go to too much trouble, but if it happens to be readily available I might make an effort. Many thanks!!!

https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachments/20250202_214301-jpg.2270498/ @GeoBruin sorry to dig up an old post… I‘m looking to kit out my newly acquired Toyo ST-350 and was Inspired by your thoughtful use of space, specifically the wrench rack. I’m guessing it’s a custom 3-D print, but if...

Picked up the newly introduced Tekton 1/4” flex head stubby. This type ratchet is handy for a minimalist go-box setup. Keep a few different extensions around and you can ‘create’ the ratchet you need for the job. Then it occurred to me that this would pair well with the Tekton small engine...

For me, no. I prefer the Bahco….. ….for these exact reasons. Not to take away from the obvious quality of the Lobtex. They definitely have positive features.

From the interwebs: The lock on the HD-73 is a battery powered electronic lock. There is a power override box and 2 override keys included in-case the batteries die or the lock fails Might try fresh batteries? Do you remember having any “override keys”?
