    Duralast 36T ratchets?

    I had 30 mins to kill so I stopped in to O’Reilly(thinking it was autozone lol) and wasn’t impressed with what they had, but got over to AZ and checked out the 72t ratchets. They seemed nice over and better than what I have for the most part. The only thing that seemed “ruff” was the reversing...

    Spray painting in cold weather

    What kind of paint are you using? Is the part already painted? Are you using a can or a spray gun? If you are what kind of sprayer? There’s plenty of tricks depending on the situation

    Duralast 36T ratchets?

    I’d guess the bigger teeth in the 36t would be stronger but do you think the new 72 tooth is of the same quality, are they made in China or Taiwan?

    Duralast 36T ratchets?

    That’s right it was Mr H that did the review, after reading that I was ready to drop some cash but then realized that it was 8-9 years old and are no longer available, or are they? I don’t see the 36t on AZs website

    Toolbox Widget

    That is a great idea Mop, I’ve done a similar thing with some of my old rubber coated suspension springs from mountain bike forks but I wasn’t able to fit as many as the wire will

    Need tools!

    I’m not really young, or definitely don’t feel it, I try to support all my local stores and supplier even though I can get my same material from across the country for much cheaper so I’d like to buy USA made tools, BUT I hate paying more for less quality and poor CS. When I was 18 and turned...

    Need tools!

    Yes,yes,yes Yes,yes,yes Lol If all my tools were in one place I’d have a pretty comprehensive collection, but they are generally scattered between a job, a rig, my shop, and home it’s incredibly frustrating at times to do what would be a relatively easy project only to have the tool that we...

    Need tools!

    I would definitely spend more for local quality products. I really like the SK tools I have but those are older than I am from my grandfather. I never think of SK when I think of ratchet/sockets, only wrenches because that’s all I’ve ever used. The wright tools seem very interesting. I would...

    Need tools!

    I’ve never had good luck with everything I’ve bought from HF, it either broke or was so uncomfortable or what ever it never got used. There’s a store about a 1.5 hours away but. I’d like to see/feel some of these cheap wonders I’d never have considered before. A friend that drives trucks told me...

    Need tools!

    I kinda didn’t think about sets, autozone is having 20% over $100 till the 10th It’s funny how it doesn’t coast much more for a set that just a stand alone ratchet. I’m not sure any I saw had a flex head in them though, which I’d like to get in a short to standard length 3/8 and longer 1/2...

    Need tools!

    Hay guys and girls, I know there’s probably a million of these threads and I could probably get all my answers by just reading all of them all, which I’ve read a bunch. But I figured I could introduce myself here as well. First I’d like to say thanks to the mods/admin of the forum, I’ve lurked...
