Hi all! I have some problems with my newly acquired FLF936 and I'm hoping somebody out there can shed some light. First of all, this is the least smooth ratchet I've ever tried in my life. The amount of torque required to make it ratchet is ridiculously large, making it almost unusable. I did...

There's a bunch of cheap USB-OBDII cables on eBay that will do that for you. You'll also need to run a piece of software, but there are a lot of free options out there if you just want a simple generic reader. I personally use the full (non-free) version of VAG-COM -- I use it as a VW/Audi...

Knipex wrench pliers ... best nut cracker I've ever used, came in really handy this holiday season. You can adjust the size so that it only cracks the shell and not the nut, and the little "******" system gives you so much leverage. Also good for automotive use I hear.

$25? That's a much better price than in the auctions I looked at. I guess I just have to keep my eyes peeled. I will look for the Proto as well. Thanks for the replies.

I have a 3/8" drive beam type torque wrench to which I'd like to add something like this: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=78088&group_ID=229&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog The thing is that I really don't need anything that fancy since I never really use it for...

I have an SAE wrench set too and I really like it. The handles are really thick which makes them feel very comfortable and look very sturdy. The finish is nice too. I'm mostly using my metric stuff though, so I can't really tell you how well they hold up under heavy abuse.

I might missing something really stupid here but what's the difference between these two: http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/knp8603-10.html and http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/kni8603250.html?

The strength, the gripping power and the great handles have already been mentioned, so I'll just add the following to the list: great weight balance, and the head on the 10" is so much smaller that my 10" Channellocks, great for tighter spots. About the handle, I actually have both the Crafstman...

Not anymore :lol_hitti Man, I *really* wanted the 3-piece needle-nose & cobras & diagonal cutters for about $20 .. And yes, it is cruel to tease us this way :) Don't even feel like going through the rest of their clearance section anymore :)

Just checked grainger.com and they had a lot of Knipex stuff on clearance. I almost had a heart attack when I saw that they had 10" alligators for less that 6 bucks :shocking:! They still have them on the website, when if you can click on them, it just says that they are no longer available :(...

Hi all, I was looking at hammers yesterday at Lowe's and happened to notice those. I'm not too familiar with Kobalt's products, but I don't think I'd ever seen them before. They have a big "Made in the USA" logo on the front and it says Danaher on the back. They didn't seem to look like what I...

SpiderGearsMan: Yeah, I'd heard good things about the AC Hydraulics ones. The website says they're all unavailable right now, though :headscrat. I'll definitely keep an eye on those though, so thanks. Elroy: Thanks for the links! hydjack.com seems to have decent prices too. Choosing can be so...

Man, that's a bummer :( I had only heard good things about their specialty tools and I guess I just assumed the jacks would be good too :/ I guess I should probably just keep looking for a quality used one ... Thanks for the input though :thumbup:.

Hi all, I'm looking for a good floor jack and I came across this one: http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9209 I like the lift range and the lifetime warranty. I'm not sure what "assembled in the US" means though - maybe they put the stickers on it in the US ...
