At least you still have good taste in tools purchases when you're a bit pickled and didn't buy a bunch of **** off of Temu :ROFLMAO:

I also have the Mellif for DeWalt batteries. It works great.

Dunno, I have $$$$ of 2010-2015 SK USA sockets and the quality is as good as could be possible. Nothing to find wrong with them. Oh, yes, some have silver paint sprayed on the inside, OMG they're junk.

You missed this in other threads? It was blatant. "you're poor if you buy Icon because it's not Snap On".

Who is guy #2? The only one I know is Deming, and I wouldn't really call him a QC guy; IMO, that's a bit of a demotion as he was much more than that, but....

Maybe read my post 9 above? Or not. And stick with Evaporust.

I have a couple of the generic Chinese anvils like this, including one Vevor. Both have >RC50 faces and were practically free when I bought mine with free shipping. I'm not sure what more you could need than this, even for real use. If someone wants to chase magic USA cast iron that's beat...

They are both marked USA. The new chrome SK USA sockets are supposedly made by Wright in the USA. Different tooling than USA SK from years ago, so there are differences.

You don't need flat ground RC 50 steel for this task. It's a press. Everything isn't parallel to .001". I know this is GJ and go ahead with whatever you want, but I've just been using steel bar scraps for 30 years.

No. But the mechanism design between the GW 90T and Matco 88T is the same and the gear and pawl do interchange and work fine as the gears are the same size to within a few thousandths OD and height. This mechanism is used by Tekton 90T, SK 90T, Matco 88T, GW 90T, Capri 90T..... It's a very...

In the case of my store, it would be hard to sell less Carlyle now as they had nothing by Carlyle on display before this. So, 99% of their walk in customers never knew they existed. 'Oh, we actually need to SHOW that we have tools to sell in order to sell them??? I'm shocked!" I've said this...

I have a 30-yr old HF and it's fine; I've verified it with a Lisle, or similar. I don't think I've used it in 15 years or more. I would look at reviews and selection of adapters.

I went to Napa today, first time in at least a year, and they rearranged the front of the store. They now have some Carlyle tools on display in the front, which they've never had before. While I'm sure they're fine for someone off the street that needs a socket or single wrench today, they...

OMG, possibly including the trim pieces! I'll never be able to fit that wrench set in it now :ROFLMAO: If it's 29.85" is that relevant? If a Snap on 8" plier was only 7.9" would you be screaming? Measurements get rounded all the time. No one says they're 5' 11.75" tall, they say they're 6...

I'm a Wiha super fan, love their screwdrivers, deadblow hammers, L keys, bits, and I'm sure at least one or two more things. I have two Wiha made in Vietnam pliers and the machining quality is on par with Knipex. But Wiha uses what is basically just a step better than high carbon steel. I'd...

As said, from the description, it sounds like the perfect application for plastic welding.

How many non-impact socket have you broken in your life where a warranty on a $4-10 item would mean you're going to miss dinner because of that astronomical expense? My answer is one broken chrome socket over 40 years. And I managed to be able to not miss any meals. This focus on warranty...

True, but HF costs like 25% of SO, so you're ******* something that costs a lot less and does the same thing for you in the end :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

The post is "cutting trusses". Regardless, even moving them involves calculations by a PE. He can move trusses however he wants. But a company is simply not going to say it's ok without a $$$$ calculation that's stamped by a PE. This is just a fact; BTDT. They are not going to open...

I'm not going to go check, but I'm sure that I have 1/2" impact sockets thru at least 38mm. Some stuff, like axle nuts, are just big but don't need 800 lbf-ft torque. I do agree that 50mm is pushing it for 1/2, but, again, there are lots of "big nuts" that don't need stratospheric torque.
