    Williams/Blue-Point reversible ratcheting wrenches

    Even though most of my better tools are Snap On I didn't want to spend that much on stubby ratcheting wrenches so I ordered myself both metric and SAE Blue Point wrenches (BOERMS712 + BOERS708). Hope they are what I expect them to be, haven't heard any bad about them this far. I am also...

    Anyone ever welded up a broken ratchet?

    During '80s one of my 1/2" no name ratchets broke and the button fell off. After that it was freewheeling. Almost threw it away but then decided to try to lock it by filling it with epoxy (degrease first). Worked perfectly in any job I used it all the way into 2000's. At some point newer tools...

    Hello to everybody, new guy here. I have read 100's of threads in the past week or so after finding this forum. Great stuff. I've been working with my cars for 25+ years. Lately I have started to appreciate nice tools more and more. But not a real collector though, mostly just what I need ;)...
