Out of the envelope, it's heavier than most of my other spinner handles, definitely handle heavy. The handle shape prevents rolling. The knurling is sharp. and forms two distinct spin zones for different grips or just rotating it with your thumb & index finger. I also think the knurling...

A couple of new things from Tekton. The aluminum 1/4 drive spinner handle with the 2.5 inch shaft and the shop scissors with cutting notch. :thumbup:

Yes and no. It depends on what you're doing and what you're working on. I probably use ratcheting wrenches 90% of the time. My favorite ratcheting wrench of all time has been out for years, and I feel it's the best ratcheting wrench out there offering you the strength of a fixed boxed end and...

Easter deliveries. To my surprise, the Amazon gang worked hard on Easter delivering orders. From top to bottom, A new type of push pin pliers to me, sold under different brands. This pair branded Abrithm. The springs on these are concealed in the pliers themselves. The concept is the small jaws...

Maybe you could buy a small cart or something like a wheeled packout base for each location and stick the tools there. That might reduce the number of replacement tools you have to purchase. If nothing else, I think you need to stop the world at each location and consolidate whatever tools are...

Like a moth to a flame, I too click on the HJE new item tab a few times a week just to see what if anything was added. I needed a new wright blue socket rail & clips for my Tekton 1/4 drive metric semi deep impact socket set so, while there I had to pick up a few other things. the IPS Hyper...

Sometimes I just like shiny :bounce:

UPS delivered my Tekton metric extra shallow socket set. 8-24mm no skips on the wrong-colored rail. :lol: Nice chrome, off corner engagement, on the heavy side. Initial thoughts: these wouldn't make me give up my Astro nanos or Ko-Ken Zeal sets. 8mm is .67 overall, 24mm comes in at .87. They are...

I think too many tool videos become infomercials. I like watching Eric O at south main auto beat the snot out of tools fixing vehicles in the people's republic of New York. He doesn't do tool reviews per se but, he had a recent series "tool of the day" where he talked about a particular tool...

Happy Birthday!! How heavy is that spinner handle?

Tekton 1/4 drive metric semi deep/mid length six-point impact socket set. It's probably the most complete socket set I've seen running from 4-17 mm no skips including 4.5 & 5.5 mm sizes. large gold high vis size marking on one side. Tiny stamped size marking on back with TEKTON and part number...

Similar. Matco 60 tooth ratchets first came out like in 2001/2002. they were made by Armstrong. I think they were the first to use the floating pawl design. Gearwrench later used the same floating pawl design in their 60/84 tooth ratchets made in Taiwan. Their 90 tooth is the same design with a...

A few new items. New ICON G2 1/4 drive 6.5 inch standard ratchet with comfort grip. hats off to the Harbor Freight employee that actually helped me today. They had none of the ratchets on display despite the website saying they were in stock. The employee couldn't find them and checked the store...

I like the larger Icon handle, and its screw retained gear cover. I also like the recessed direction switch and thinner head on the Gearwrench which is why I have both. :lol:

I'm not sure if an uber long ratchet would help him in this instance. I think a RBRT type bit with a 15-18 inch long ratchet would be beneficial. Too long of handle will just shear the head faster. I think in this case it's more about the bit and its fitment into the fastener head but, that's...

They'll make excellent seal drivers. :bounce:

The market is pretty saturated with dual drive sockets so, I don't think Tekton will dip their toes in that area. It would be nice though :dunno: Vessel offers a 1/4 drive L shaped speed handle that you can use with sockets and bits...

Greeting all, I did a quick search, but nothing came up. I apologize if this is a duplicate post. Tekton released a couple of new items this week. First were stubby 1/4 drive flex head ratchets with or without quick release. What makes these interesting to me is there's a male 1/4 square drive...

Gearwrench & Crescent offered a two piece set that could be had for cheap from closeout peeps on Ebay. You could also get the same ratchet in NAPA or older Carlyle trim. You might be able to get the Icon model on sale. :dunno...

Sunex moved most if not all of their production to China, Peoples Republic of so, COO may be different unless you get older stock. Why not just use a breaker bar or ratchet? Or an impact extension on a cordless impact? I've had great service from both brands over the years. I've always thought...
