Was it less than standard market value? I hope so. Wouldn't be hard to make up some fakes. I have a number of old Armstrong armaloy tapered beam wrenches and other things like measuring tools that are marked with Bethlehem steel, USS, and other large national names from the past.. Very cool...

Same here. I have talked to my local pawn shop guy who is a friend... He said this is normal. When the economy is doing better, you see a drastic decrease in the numbers of tools on the used market/pawnshop. Similar trends in guitars and other things. I have bought many great hand tools I'm...

Also, I'm betting we will be able to fill in those dewalt asd sets once the open stock of CM Lowe's hits the shelves. As long as matching stamps and such doesn't bother the user. I don't mind at all. I do hope they go chrome or even satin, anything but that "gun metal chrome" they are slinging...

Yea I commented on that thread post too. If you look at the dewalt catalogue, you can see the three different "series" of the wrenches. All included in the metric 18pc wrench set. The 10-19mm are obviously a set within the larger "set".. Strange.. I made the compete set up to 22mm I think.. And...

I have to say, in my opinion, the 90s and early 00s raised panel wrenches were gone wrenches. The broaching was clean and accurate at both ends, the steel was great. They weren't pretty by any means, and certainly not long... But I never, not once had one fail or spread. Never had one be out of...

They really only need too be longer than the standard offering of the same brand... They are longer. One thing i don't understand is why "long pattern" is now being called "long panel" by some companies... Confused marketing team?? Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

I use one for these exact purposes. Works like a dream. Mine runs like 4 degrees cold. No big deal. Its not an accurate temp I need, just a relative temp. Figured out muy thermostat was screwing up because the hole through the sheetrock for the 18/4 is piping cold air, like 10 degrees...

Never bothered me... Amateur hour was in high school.... All seasoned pros these days. Lol Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Fed, In your opinion owning both tje dewalt and the channellock taiwan sets, which do you prefer? I got the dewalt set for like $30 locally, and filled in the few like you did. Haven't used or handled the channellocks... From a cosmetic standpoint, I definitely prefer the dewalts, including...

Stall mats are very heavy and hard. They Will definitely work though. I use cardboard. I have a couple creepers I need to dump in the trash. Never use them anymore. Always got severely aggravated trying to use a creeper.. One time got a huge chunk of my hair wrapped in the caster of a...

Decent for the money spent. Regular line of pliers that is. The 400 series. Dikes. Etc... Supposedly the long wrenches are good. Never used them. Adjusted are okay. Once you use Knipex... You didn't look back. Make channellock seem like "the rest"... That's my .02 Sent from my LGLS676...

I'm going to say craftsman mid lengths. Craftsman pro/industrial wrenches. SK and Armstrong. Williams b-52, s-52-53. Herbrand extensions with hex on the outside of the female square end. Favorite extensions. Also agree with the snap on made kobalt stuff. Those were great quality, and very...

I bought a bunch when Sears clearanced them out open stock for $1.88 each. Even got some torx... Actually... My local Sears still has a cardboard box with about 20 left right now... But all oddballs like t27 and scratch awls. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

The problem running large wheels on smaller grinders is that you are spinning the wheel past it's speed rating.. I also don't see what you are gaining by doing things like that... Why not use the right grinder that is not under powered for the job? I use pferd, metabo, norton usually. cheap...

Nice straight beam.... [emoji43] The dewalt taiwan wrenches are miles ahead of the Chinese GW wrenches. Many miles. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Here are a couple doozies Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Im taking my 15pc GW metric non ratcheting combo wrench set back and getting something else. I have used an older set of these many times, and they are great wrenches. Still retail for $60-80... I figured for the $40 I paid, they would new fine for light home use... WOW was I wrong. Finally...

Totally different sockets though... Have to be... You know.. Because. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

The craftsman long patterns that I saw at Lowe's looked just like the dewalts with the ASD design. Made in Taiwan too. Assuming same wrench, different stamp. I bet SBD will be using that design for the craftsman brand now, and will bump the price up a bit on them, and the dewalt wrenches will...

I run dewalt, Hitachi, and a couple harbor freight beaters.. I used too like the paddle switches.. But I moved away from them. A few years ago. I've had them kick on when I didn't want them too on a number of occasions, and didn't like the way they must be gripped, especially in odd angles...
