    Which ratcheting wrenches to buy?

    My vote would be for the GearWrench flex head combo wrenches. I have both the regular and the flex head, and I always find myself reaching for the flex head (even when I don't necessarily need the flex). The non-flex are handy for getting into very narrow spaces, though, as they are not offset...

    Was this a good deal?

    Nope, you got ripped off. Being the good samaritan that I am, though, I'll buy it off of you for $50 to help offset some of the money that you wasted.:bounce:

    please...let go of my nuts

    +1 for PB Blaster - I love the stuff. I've found that if you apply Blaster liberally and let it sit for a while (15-20 minutes or so), most of the time the bolt will come out fairly easily. If that doesn't work, heat the nut/bolt up (I use a simple propane torch), douse it in Blaster right...

    Wrenches, what do I need?

    Obviously, ratcheting wrenches are a great addition to any tool collection and will save you a ton of time and hassle. However, I'll add another thing into the mix - 6 pt. combo wrenches. 12 pts are great for everyday use, but sometimes you just need the extra torque that you can apply to a 6...

    Duplicate Sockets

    WARNING - this is probably a stupid question. Some background info - I'm a weekend wrencher, just looking to build a decent tool collection. Went to Sears yesterday and bought the 145pc tool set to give as a gift to my girlfriend's dad. Got the set home and realized that it included some...

    Got a proto ratchet... GET ONE!!!

    To resurrect an old thread...again...is this the ratchet you guys are talking about? I've been hearing a lot of good things about Proto, so I wanted to make sure I was looking at the right thing... I can't get the pictures to enlarge - the ratchet head reads "USA Professional" "Proto" "5249P"

    Looking for decent tool chest

    Just got the weekly Harbor Freight coupon e-mail...the 13 drawer tool chest is on sale for $299 through Dec. 8th (with coupon). Best of all, the coupon makes no mention of "not valid with any other offers", so I'm pretty sure you could probably use the 20% off coupon in addition to this...

    Best place to buy stubby Gear Wrench?

    FYI - I went to my Sears yesterday looking for the 50% off Stubby Gear Wrench sets as well. Turns out, the $29.99 price was only good for their "doorbuster" event from 7am - noon. It wasn't a complete waste though, as I picked up Metric and SAE sets of the full length combination Gear Wrench...
