    Flush Cut Pliers

    I bought a pair of the Snap-On 786CF flush cutters for zip ties, and really really like them. Not for use with steel wire/cable though.

    Tools harder to find

    I'm in this boat too for the most part. If Proto doesn't have it, I'll buy Snap-on, but either way I have to order it. I don't know of any local brick and mortar stores that have high quality hand tools.

    Proto Tools....are they ****?

    Proto is my go-to company for sockets, they make very good tools at prices that are a lot easier on my wallet than Snap-On. They may not be on the same level of fit and finish as Snap-On, but at 1/3rd the price, I'm good with it. Then add in the occasional 25% off coupon code for Zoro and it's...

    Chainsaws

    I have owned a CS-400 for tenish years now, and it has never let me down. I've used drop easily a hundred trees over that time anywhere from 6" to 24" in diameter. If it got hit by a meteor, I'd go out and buy another one without a second thought. My father has a ~20 year old Stihl MS-271 (I'm...

    How many power tool brands do you use?

    All of my cordless tools are Dewalt, and most of my corded tools are Bosch. I hate mixing up battery standards so I stick with Dewalt cordless stuff, when it comes to corded tools I'm much less brand loyal, just seems that Bosch has what I need on sale when I need something.

    That would be an option as well, but I dont know that I've ever lost an impact socket, only the chrome ones seem to run away from me. Although, just by saying that I'll almost certainly lose one within days. :headscrat

    My Proto Impact socket sets went from 10mm to 24mm, but I bought the Westling machine socket trays to organize them better than the cheap strips, but the trays go from 9mm to 27mm. So like any good OCD person, I ordered a 9mm, and 25-27mm in shallow and deep just to fill the tray. Still waiting...
