First new snap on pliers I've bought. The vinyl handle on the small combination plier binds when you put it in the second notch so I'll probably have to trim it back a bit.

What brand are they and which length do you find yourself using the most?

To the mechanics out there. Is a 1/2 flex ratchet useful or necessary for your job? If so, for what applications? Thanks!

Wooden handled ball peens and US General boxes.

Anybody know where sunex gets theirs? They are super cheap on Ebay right now. Do they source them direct from Taiwan or China?

I think you are right Tinner. The Mac's are a good bit cheaper than the Facoms though. http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Expert/Wrenches/E114401/5-PC-Metric-Half-Moon-Wrench-Set-12-PT- And I get a student discount to boot!

Is the Mac E114401 the same as the Sunex 9935M? I got to looking at these two and they look mighty similar! Is Mac's a rebranded Sunex product? If we can figure anything out, I'll repost in the tool truck thread. Thanks! Fred

Checking for fit.

After seeing this awesome thread, I went to a garage sale and found this rack for a $1.

This is very cool! Thanks guys!

I did. I just had a really fussy baby and am new to posting pics on this forum, so I decided to post in two posts.

Here are the pics

Model plate is all scratched off. Anybody know what make and model this is? I would like to buy a repair kit for it and go through it myself. Thanks!

Can I use this in automotive repair (it doesn't have a ratcheting head) or will it not work for some of the situations I'll find myself in? I accidentally purchased the wrong one and am trying to determine if I should keep it or resell it. Thanks!

Don't be afraid to try Napa's Carlyle stuff. They offer student discount with ID card and I've been impressed with the quality this far!

It came in today! Excited to put it to use.

I've been fascinated with lineman pliers lately. I've got a few old pairs from early 1900's through to 1960's. This has got me thinking. Who were the men that carried these pliers? What trades used them back in the day? Any info or personal stories you have would be thoroughly enjoyed and...
