Sk, Proto, Koken Bit Sockets (SAE/Metric Hex, Torx) Metric 1/2 Drive Hex Bit Socket Set. This is a combination of SK (USA), Proto (USA), and Koken (Japan) bit sockets. These are used, and there is some rust on some of the bits (not the chrome sockets, just the bits). Otherwise in great...

Yes, because you've worked on everything there is and experienced every type of repair and know definitively that there isn't a possible need for these despite several other very experienced people telling you there is a use for them. The world also survived without computers but that doesn't...

Odd, because every measurement I've ever taken tends to see most hand tools come out to be identical the the thousandths of an inch. Usually the only difference is when I start looking at the ten-thousandths of an inch. They are a few exceptions that are a few thousandths off from each other...

After thirty days, you pay to ship the machine back for warranty work. They will often ship out replacement parts to you if they can diagnose it over the phone and you feel competent enough to replace it yourself. Much cheaper and quicker that way, with obvious drawbacks though.

Just as an FYI, AHP and everlast are the same owners. Everlast is owned by Oleg, and AHP is "owned" by his wife (or maybe it's his mother) in name, but he runs both. AHP is the lower level/more budget oriented line. As another interesting fact, the owner of Longevity is a relative of Oleg's...

You guys can relax, it's just a joke That being said, the guy's delivery was pretty poor, but he is joking.

Assembled in the USA now. They haven't been made in the USA for quite a while. Not sure what the actual % foreign and domestic content is though.

Locking pliers. The good ones are expensive!

Those sound like some good improvements! It's on your website already!

How's the forcing screw on the 78825 wheel bearing puller/installer kit? I know most cheap kits really cheap out on this part and it fails after a few uses. I'm a mod for a very large Subaru forum, so I often have to suggest kits like this. I've been suggesting the ATD kit (since they are the...

Even at the higher price, the new 44" is a better deal per sq. in and cu. in of storage space compared to the old 44" https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391564

Correct, Northern Tool actually assembles a lot of their North Star items in Fairbault MN (not too far from me). Northern Tool usually has parts in stock that you can get direct from NT, not from the OEM that makes the parts.

Got any measurements comparing the two?

I'm just happy more companies are starting to pick up on putting the release lever in the correct orientation. I spent a ton on my grip ons/grip on rebrands(haven't pinched my hands in years with locking pliers now!) when they were the only one using that design and it's nice to see more budget...

One on the right is cold forged, one on the left is likely hot pressed and machined (hence the machining marks below the broach petals). SK machines the larger sizes since cold forging large sizes requires massive amounts of force. Regardless of the broaching method, the hole in the middle...

Don't think it was me, but I like spreadsheets, so may have done it and forgotten:P 44" is the best value, but I was surprised how close the 56" and 72" still were. HF has obviously done their homework on pricing these.

Link to spreadsheet for those who want to look at the data themselves: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fgoUv-S26lc_KQ3MxNfGZE02Zgv2MuQ0DC57nCcRiiQ/edit?usp=sharing I did a comparison of similarly priced units at Harbor Freight. The competitors were: 72" Bottom Box by itself ($1000) 56"...

They had some 30% off this time last year

Which is against eBay's seller's rules. I report it every time I see it because I don't want "Craftsman- Snap On Equivalent!!!" showing up every time I search for Snap On. If I wanted to look for craftsman, I would have typed that into the search box.
