Anybody own/use the Ares 70040? I like the fact that it has a holder in the handle as well as a through-hole holder in the head. This is for a portable toolbox where I need to keep the weight down, and any tool that does double duty is appreciated. Will be used many times for set-screws, so...

For anyone interested in this thread, here's a youtube 1/4" hex ratchet review of several different brands: (Thanks, JBH, got the album working.)

Excellent description/explanation, thanks for the education & the photos, man! :bowdown: (Aside: It appears your photos are hosted by GJ, no? Whenever I want to post a photo, I only get an option to link from elsewhere on the web. How did you host yours on GJ?)

Found the Koken for $58 here https://www.toolpan.com/Koken_bymfg_21-4-1.html This is going to be a pricey collection for such a small tool!

Well! I can see this is not going to be a "buy one" sort of affair, it will require a collection. Thanks for pointing me in excellent directions, folks! I am partial to the "passthrough" types, where the hex hole is broached all the way though, since that allows really low profile access. (I...

I'm looking for a quality small hex bit ratchet. Need it for tight clearance situations. Suggestions? This is the one that has caught my eye: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F42ZF9B/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I already own one like the following, unbranded, no great shakes, but it does the...

Thanks RKA! I will attempt to restrain myself until Veteran's Day, and will see what happens!

Hello folks. Been awhile since I posted, but I'm in the market for a Milwaukee Impact Driver. I see that acmetools.com is running a 10% off Halloween promocode "BOO," Milwaukee is not excluded (good) and I'm curious, does acmetools generally do better than this on black friday? Or is 10% about...

Paper Towel Method: http://www.shanewhitlock.com/blog/?p=272

Being desperate, I purchased the highest-priced impact-rated bit holder I could find at HD. Expensive is always good, right? A Makita "Impact Gold Torsion Magnetic Insert Bit Holder." I'm not a fan of magnetic holders, normally, but neither am I willing to sacrifice any of my three Wera...

So you use a Wera Rapidaptor on an impact driver with no problem then? Huh, I'd been reading how they failed under impact stress. Nobody has tried the DeWalt items mentioned in the first post?

Please recommend a 1/4" bit holder for impact drivers? Preferably something slim, not fat and clunky. I really like my Wera Rapidaptors for drills and drivers, but the internet is telling me they weren't designed to handle impact driver stress. Now I'm eyeballing two DeWalt items, the...

Thank you sir! Then these shall be given an appointment of honor and distinction as my mill wrenches -- a good assignment, as it entails light use but prominent display. Thanks for the help guys. And a big holiday howdy to Lauver and Outlaw.

Looking to purchase a 6" Pippin File in good condition, fine cut (preferably #4). Needed for locksmithing. Thanks.

Hiya Woody, well met, friend! Yes, now that you mention it, that's the term I was looking for, "Dart Wrenches." You the man. I have no idea if that's technically correct, but that's the term I couldn't quite remember. (And Bob15...uh,...thanks!) Ach, back when wrenches had style, those were...

Are these Duro Chrome wrenches known by a particular name, or style? Found them in the bottom of a drawer and I'm rather fetched-up with them. But don't know (or have forgotten) what to call them.

Hey, that pressure gauge reads higher than my DeVilbiss...! Probably safer, too.

Gotta love GJ, where you can ask a complicated (and probably unanswerable) question, and get good guidance within a couple of hours. Thanks guys. I was not expecting to focus on Milwaukee, as I am an owner of several USA made Milwaukee corded tools (which I adore), and got in a big huff when...

I read the recommended threads above, thanks. Tried to get an overall impression on the three brands I'm considering; seems that Milwaukee gets top ratings by many; Makita gets top rating, but by fewer people, and DeWalt gets generally good reviews with less enthusiasm. Is that a fair enough...
