Ah, I missed the "bit tube" design bit, I was thinking too much about the availability of replacement bits. By the way if Dave sees this, selling everything separately is fantastic, and makes for great reassurance that if an individual piece is ever lost, damaged or misplaced, an entire kit...

These look pretty nice, but my only gripe here is no 1/4" drive in the top of the handle. It seems like that's a feature that not everybody has, but it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to produce -- after all, it's effectively just extending the shank length a bit and giving it a square...

I was recently told about this option, because I was in the same boat -- looking at Tekton, GearWrench, and waiting to see what HF Icon's option would be like. https://www.mobiledistributorsupply.com/23988-12-piece-ringstop-reversible-ratcheting-wrench-set-metric-oem I ordered a set yesterday...

Hey! I would suggest you try your best to plan out everything you want in your garage in the long term -- and try to plan for upgrades as best you can as well. I'm learning this the hard way. Things I changed/modified a couple of years ago are now limiting my ability to upgrade my toolbox and...

Seconding Tekton, though if you have a Harbor Freight nearby their Pittsburgh Pro ratchets and impact sockets are well renowned, as are the Pittsburgh Pro breaker bars. I would be hesitant on their battery tools, though I have the blue Chicago angle grinder and the cheapest oscillating...

...You're a wonderful human being. Seriously, I wasn't aware that these existed. And now I think I'm going to order them, they look pretty damn nice. And OEM tools are typically pretty good. Thank you!

I'm holding out to see how the ratcheting reversible wrenches look and feel when they come out. I've been in the market for quite a while, couldn't get them at the super-discount Lowe's price, and the Tekton ones at $145 are enough that I need to give it some real consideration. Then when I saw...

I think the security lug is sensible then -- it's just like anything else, the security is meant to make a potential criminal rethink their choice and at a minimum look for an easier option. Hopefully the set posted will work out for you, heck maybe you can even offer services to others local...

Maybe this is dumb, but why not buy four regular lugs and call it a day? I've never run a "security" lug nut/bolt (woohoo VW things!) on my vehicles, but I also generally park in areas that don't have higher rates of theft/crime. I think the part number search is your best option, or maybe see...

Central PA, I have a masonry company as a client that sells Metabo, but uses Dewalt cordless. The one I find more interesting is a dental milling outfit who is also a client, where I've spotted a ton of Cherry keyboards and Wera hand tools (mostly screwdrivers) -- I need to make it a point to...

Paying extra for the convenience of in-store warranty replacement versus Kobalt... that Lowe's killed for Craftsman... It's a conspiracy, I tell you. :headscrat

This is a brilliant solution, I'm 120% stealing this. Thanks for posting!

I have the cheaper version of the MX2350 sold at Advance, it's grey and the spout makes it by far my go-to. I got tired of the plastic ones folding up on me and not pouring easily, and I didn't like the completely sealed design of some of them (I'm prone to dropping drain plugs now and then), so...

I'll be extremely interested in the reversible ratcheting wrenches. I eyed up Tekton at $150 and GearWrench at $90, Tekton's warranty and customer service are excellent, and my regular Tekton wrenches have been far better quality than the pricetag would suggest, especially considering the...

I went the wire-rack direction for my pliers rack, and though I needed to make some small modifications (adding wooden "feet" to the corners to sit it at the desired height), my $10 wire rack investment resulted in two pliers racks, versus one at $20. The HF rack looks nice, but in the end...

I'm a huge fan of those trays, they fit well and I like being able to see the bolt-head end of the socket (as opposed to the drive end). For the money, they're a great buy -- we bought several for a buddy's box to differentiate between 6 and 12 point, impact and chrome, and they're holding up well.

I've got the 750lb model, and it's fine for what I need -- there's a bit of room for improvement in the lower leg attachment, but all in all it's not bad. If you're into VW things, be prepared to only be able to use 3 of the attachment arms, as all four won't line up correctly (at least on the...

I love the Long Reach Low Profile Daytona, specifically bought it because of my particularly low vehicles. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again, and I'm also considering getting the yellow Daytona as a second jack, once my Pittsburgh stops being trustworthy -- though it's 10 years old now, and...

I'm not all that well off, and the tool that gets the job done is the right tool for the job, in my opinion. With that said, if it's a tool I'm expecting to lean on again and again (ratchets, sockets, and wrenches in particular), I'll look for CoO that has a history of quality, with a good...

I don't recall which model it was, but we used the hell out of a dremel at my previous job. We had a corded and a cordless -- On the cordless, eventually the battery didn't want to stay in place anymore, and it would only operate on the low-speed setting. But for the environment, it's...
