Hey, just a couple of quick observations from opening day SEMA 2024. First, harbor freight swears they didn't get a cease & desist order from snap on and that the new 3 position long nose slip joint pliers are coming spring 2025 :wtf: they were on display & looked good. Next, the new ICON...

Saw a You Tube video today showing that most of the Tekton 3/8 impact swivel sockets are now available. I grabbed a 21, 22, & 24mm to test out along with their new straight blade mini pry bars. :beer: https://www.tekton.com/impact-drive-sockets/universal-joint-impact-sockets

I didn't see a thread on this so, here goes. Tekton sent out an email listing some new releases coming soon. In October, Tekton is releasing a line of 3/8 pinless impact swivel sockets. SAE runs 1/4 to 1 inch, Metric 6-24mm They feature a high vis size marking and a stamped size marking. They're...

The Torque Test channel released a new video with their new wrench testing machine they built. Recently, there's been much knashing of teeth over anti slip open ends. The classic white plastic wrench tester from my youth reappeared for some unknown reason and there was even wrench testing...

I noticed that the tool of the day from KC tool for Friday, 8/23/24 wasn't a German made tool but, a rail of Irish made 1/4 drive Heyco six point metric sockets on a nice green magnetic holder. The set included no skips from 4-14 mm with 4.5 & 5.5 included. I was bit taken back by the special...

Does anyone think that Harbor Freight is clearing out Icon ratchets at 40% off this parking lot sale because, they're changing suppliers or perhaps a design change? Just curious :beer:

Amazon had the SK modular storage components on sale during Prime Day and since I have no will power and a few gift cards and points, I broke down. Despite everything being well packed in thick cardboard and eggcrate, the middle unit is lopsided. It might have taken a fall before going into the...

Here is your 1/4 drive NANO socket's best friend, the VIM FRW11. It's a 6 inch long 11 mm boxed end wrench with a fixed boxed end on one side and a reversible 72 tooth flex head ratcheting boxed end wrench on the other side. Both boxed ends have a built-in retaining ring the hold the Nano or...

While cruising the internet looking for new tool releases and specials, I stumbled upon a pouch for the Tekton 5 piece hook & Pick set. Now, call me cheap but, I couldn't get past the $14 price tag for the pouch. I could save $2 by buying another pick & Hook set in the new pouch for $32 but...

Now I know there have been plenty of threads discussing the loss of anything sized 10mm but, I think perhaps Olsa Tools has gone slightly overboard with their new 100 piece 10mm socket set. I must confess, I haven't lost a 10 mm socket ever. An 8mm once, or twice but, I digress. If you're the...

While killing some time this evening, I noticed Tekton added longer fixed head ratchets to their ratchet selection. Tekton now offers a 9 inch 1/4 drive fixed head ratchet along with a 12 inch long 3/8 drive version, and an 18 inch long 1/2 drive model. You can get the new longer ratchets with a...

https://www.tekton.com/5-drawer-upper-tool-cabinet-black-ocu30101 Anyone else notice these on the Tekton website? Overkill? Too expensive? They seem heavy and well built but, I'm not sure where I would use it. It might make a nice bench box or in a service van/truck. :dunno: I have one of...

Tekton released some new chrome extensions in wobble or locking version across three drive sizes. I'm on the fence about the locking mechanism :dunno: https://www.tekton.com/hand-drive-sockets/socket-accessories/extensions?extension-type=wobble%2Clocking

https://www.tekton.com/tool-storage/stacking-organization-system I'm not sure if the world needs another stacking toolbox system but, the foam drawer sets with tools seem kind of cool. :headscrat Not for me but, still glad to see new product being released. :beer:

Has anyone seen this Wiha 33394 set for sale in the USA? I'm slightly addicted to compact socket kits and would like to get one. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided :beer:

I didn't make it to SEMA this year but, this video seems to cover all of the New Harbor Freight releases at SEMA 2023. Please note: This is not a thread for you to voice your hatred of Harbor Freight. It's just to present new tools coming to a Harbor Freight near you in 2024 or earlier. Thanks...

https://www.tekton.com/search?page=1&keywords=small+body+ratchets Tekton released new small body ratchets (3/8 drive in a 1/4 body) with or without quick release.

While sorting through my inbox, I saw this email from Milwaukee about coming soon tools. For some unknown reason, I'm interested in these. I might have a different feeling once I see them in person but for now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt :beer...

https://webcat.cornwelltools.com/JRZF12LG-3-8-Drive-Z-120-Tooth-Long-Flex-Head-Handled-Ratchet-Neon-Green-p546366625 Does anyone know who is making these for Cornwell? They don't mention being made in the USA. :dunno: Thanks in advance
