    Want to get a couple new ratchets

    I can say I'm VERY particular in which ratchets I use. I look at; tooth count, pawl engagement, head dimensions, etc when buying ratchets and because of this I have eliminated a good deal of brands for different reasons: Matco - No sealed head, which causes it to have an ingress of...

    Carlyle Tool Deals - Q1 2019

    Ok! Your reply simplified: "what scenario would you need to use these UNDER 15 degrees" Edit: maybe you're not understanding the original complaint. Some wrenches have one of the 12 "points" completely in line with the center of the wrench, so flipping the wrench does absolutely NOTHING!

    Carlyle Tool Deals - Q1 2019

    Sorry, no Koolaid. Just an observation. Also, poor argument; "since I don't need it, no one does" but to answer your question in a literal sense, often enough notice there was an issue and return my wrenches. Like I said, important to some, not so much to others. Overlooked by some mfg's, not...

    Carlyle Tool Deals - Q1 2019

    Doubtful, as much as I try to avoid snap-on, this is an instance where their "there is a difference" tagline comes in to play. If you have a look at snap-on's broaching of the box ends you should notice that the 12 point is slightly off center of the center line of the wrench beam, enabling you...

    Flex head ratchets

    SK or Gearwrench, Carlyle are very limited in metal handle, flex head options and Proto can be quite expensive for what you're getting. SK are known to take a lickin' and keep on tickin', can be upgraded to "DT" mechanisms if you want fine tooth and seems to be a standout especially when it...

    Looking for a nice 3/8'' drive flex head ratchet

    ^yep, pretty much what I thought, Stahlwille or Snap on are the only options that fit the specifics. https://www.kctoolco.com/stahlwille-452qr-flexible-joint-fine-tooth-ratchet-3-8-drive/ Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    SK Flex Zone Impact Sockets

    This thread actually reminded me that I've signed up for SK Club pro and have yet to receive any benefits. Nevertheless, I just went to their Site and noticed a new tab that wasn't there a week ago called "Resources" where I found product sheets for all the new stuff. So I Re-Download the new...

    How important is COO to you and why?

    Moving the goal post? My response was to your Cellophane comment, so you're still using logical fallacies seemingly to prove things that really have no basis or relevance to the conversation. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    How important is COO to you and why?

    I could write an article with the logical fallacies in this response. Are you straw man or red herring? Argument: support American jobs! Your response: NO ONE WANTS TO RUN A CELLOPHANE MACHINE! I have had experience working in many manufacturing facilities and the shipping department...

    At what point are impact sockets necessary?

    Impact sockets are absolutely necessary now! But it appears you may have some confusion, (or im the one with confusion) M12 cordless ratchets do not impact. You might be referring to M12 impact guns but I'm guessing you mean the cordless ratchets. Milwaukee does also have an m18 right angle...

    New Tekton USA Made Angle Wrenches

    Yes, so it's quite a bit curious the metric set is available first as even Tekton references these for use on forklifts on the website. BUT! With some foreign units from Germany/ Sweden, I have discovered that they do feature metric Hyd. Fittings. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
