Must be just me but a tighter fitting extension and socket would be a detriment over having a bit of wiggle room to work with. Same reason why I almost always grab a wobble-end extension over a regular one. I like grabbing the tools that are going to work on the first try. Not having to go...

Having many family members, teenage boys, a brother and nephews, all that regularly make use of the shop, none of which hold the same value to the tools as this guy who bought them all. Can't blame them all on them though. Crazy how often it actually has been that 10mm that comes up missing...

I tend to use 120 grit. I never really need to take much off but I sure can see the difference in my cut grass when it needs it and after. I also sharpen brand new blades because they come dull by my standards. when I've used brand new unsharpened blades I've noticed they leave the ends of grass...

I recently was gifted a stack of 6 or so 3/16" thick 4'x4' sheets of stainless - not sure what grade but a magnet doesn't stick at all to them, that I've been sizing up for a project. I just bought a 7-1/4" metal blade (this one) off amazon and cut them with an old circular saw that I've had for...

FWIW, Pontiac787's ratchet wrench retainer clips look similar, or perhaps same, as these to me. https://www.amazon.com/WORKPRO-10-Piece-Socket-Magnetic-Organizer/dp/B0DTSQ2QJV/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I knew I'd seen something like them before. I can't be sure they are the same and will work the...

I figured. I was just mentioning that since the Astro set of adapters, as KnurledNut pointed out, "won't have any retention as they don't have retaining rings" like at the bottom of the Snap-on sockets (Astro's ratchets have a retaining ring in the middle of the ratchet and notches on the...

@KnurledNut Good catch. I'd looked at them both, the Snap-on 112RTMA and Astro 78105 Adapter Set listings, and saw they were the same size and should work, but then after posting saw the OP had wrote "14 mm hex to 1/4in drive adapter" which got me all confused. I didn't notice Snap-on's...

FWIW, Craftsman did make a 15/16" (part # 24928) in their Industrial sets.

EDIT: My bad. These are Astro's 11mm hex (1/4 dr size), and their 3/8 is 17mm, so no, I don't know who else uses Snap-on's 14mm. Astro Tools 78105 5pc 1/4" Nano Drive Size Adapter Set https://www.jbtools.com/astro-5-piece-1-4-nano-drive-size-adapter-set/...

Another GJ inspired tool purchase. This one came about from a mention in the 'Diagonal Cutters for Cotter Pins' thread. Craftsman compound action diagonal cutter (CMHT81718)

Wow inflation really hits over time. I bought the Dewalt DCA1820 back in 2018 for $19.95. It works great, even though now I haven't had the need to use any of my older 18v tools in a while. I keep them around though because they still work. I don't recall that they had as many knock-off versions...

Looking at the 'sold' / 'completed' transactions on ebay there's quite a few complete looking sets that have went for around $150.

lol, but there's two 21mms! I kid, but 21mm (and occasionally 21.5mm) is the size for all of our vehicles, and about half of what else I work on.

One of these is usually what I grab for dealing with cotter pins, but I don't tend to fight with them very long before I just snip the eye and tails off, tap a socket on and spin it off with an impact, then drill what's left of it out. Proto 11" (J246G) and Knipex 10" (74-21-250) Welp, I...

I picked up a new addition thanks to me reading this thread. Metric lug nut flip sockets with 1/2 sizes. Saw what looked to be this same set sold under several different brand names on Amazon. All seemed to have OK reviews. Just jumped on the one with the best price at the time after coupon...

This is the kit I keep in my truck box. A Blackjack KT-340 Tire Repair Kit & a 4-way tool w/ valve cores

Yeah, these locking sets I got at Lowes, $15 & $25. Placed my order online and picked up in the lockers. I like that system for purchases. Quick in and out, no lines. Scan the UPC from the email on my phone and the locker door pops open. Sure beats waiting 15 min in line at the service desk at...

After getting to use the locking extensions from the Craftsman 34 pc master set I got last week, I decided I wanted to add some more of these to my tools out in my workshop too. I've only had 1/2" impact locking extensions before, the kind with sliding collar locks, but never any in 3/8" or 1/4"...

Not a single. but a set can be pretty reasonable. Currently $22 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JBL69A8?tag=atomicindus08-20 C
