    NWS pliers: chrome or titan finish?

    just curious on what those that actually have these pliers, and have used them, prefers. It's tough to beat the appearance chrome but I'm wondering if it would chip on a cutting edge? And of course if anyone has another brand of pliers with chrome plating, pls weigh in. I have an old pair of...

    new SK impact sockets, or Williams- opinions please

    looking for a 1/2 drive metric impact socket set; I'll buy a deep set first. I've narrowed it down to SK, Williams, and Sunex. Plenty of good reviews for Sunex but I'd like to buy USA made if I can justify it. I like williams, and they are cheaper than SK, but SK comes with more sockets. So...

    is this a torx or torx plus bit???

    Bought a set of SK torx bits and the T47 looks like it has a different form than all the other bits. It is the one on the right in the pic below. I would assume that, like all the other bits in the set, they have the same basic form and just change size. But this one bit has a different form...

    bit sockets: SK or Wiha or?

    looking for some torx, security torx, and maybe some metric hex bit sockets. I'd get wiha, the price is great, but they don't stamp the bit size on the sockets - this isn't a dealbreaker but bothers me. Does SK stamp the bit size on the socket? Opinions on the SK? Opinions on Wiha? Any...

    chop saw questions and recommendations for a new one

    I have a 10-15 yr old B&D 14" chop saw. I don't use it very often, only a few times a yr, so it hasn't seen much use, few cuts at a time. I've never liked it and have always regretted not getting a makita as I was debating between the two at the time. So, I tried to use it yesterday to cut...

    recommend a 1/2 drive metric socket set- 6 point

    prefer US made and I'm not going to pay Snap On $. Oh, and something I can buy new. I've been buying the US made Williams sockets but they only have 12 point in 1/2 drive metric- which is the exact opposite of what you'd expect they should make if they were only going to make one style (6 vs...

    williams round head ratchet spanner for slotted "nut"?

    Does williams make a spanner-type-thingy to remove the round slotted nut from the 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets? I'm not going to use a chisel, etc, and can certainly fab something up, but if I can buy something for $5-10 then that's what I want. I've already tried various ways with no luck and dont'...

    Ernst website- craptastic!

    Ok, I've spent hundreds of $ on plastic from Ernst with multiple orders and have been frustrated by their crappy website each time and finally gave up tonite. You'd think they'd have a functional website since it's not 1994. But evidently that's too much to be expected. when I use their...

    blast cabinet nozzles

    I have two of the plastic HF blast cabinets which I've had for 10+ yrs and am happy with. The problem is the nozzles for the gun. For yrs HF sold ceramic nozzles which were fine, but then they stopped making them. After that I bought them from Eastwood and of course they were 5X more...

    re-blackening rusty phosphated or BO tools

    I had some rusty vintage Allen brand hex wrenches so I decided to clean them up. I have tried all the hot and cold phosphating/blackening chemicals and generally use Metal Ready by POR 15 when possible. It's reasonably priced and works well as you can see. Note none of the typical blackening...

    snap on combo wrench set 3/8-1"

    OEX style: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1. The 9/16 doesn't match the rest as far as condition as it replaced a missing one- that's the best I could do on Ebay. As you can see the plating is thinned out as compared to the others. The 1" has a few dings on the open...

    vintage Stanley - Yankee ratcheting driver and drill

    very nice shape, both work great. Slotted driver tips do show some wear. one drill bit is missing per the amt of storage holes in the drill handle vs what is here. Dunno how old these are but definitely 30+ yrs old. The box for the driver is in nice shape; no box for the drill. hopefully...

    3/8 drive Williams enclosed head ratchets

    anyone bought one lately? I bought both a 1/4 and a 3/8. The 1/4 is great, no issues. On the 3/8, the first one I received I just about needed a pair of pliers to move the lever to reverse directions- definitely not right. They sent another 3/8, and it's better, but still not what I would...
