    JH williams supercombo vs snap on

    One thing to note ................. the SuperCombos do not have teeth . It is a raised flat area that provides off corner grip. Probably less fastener marring than the Wright. Seth

    Gas can Venting

    I think it actually is better than most old spouts. I also like that they have plain caps too. Nice when it comes to transporting. Seth

    Gas can Venting

    Yeah, actually that is the only "safety" can that I like. But only in the small size. The push button control can't be beat for filling small engine tanks like chainsaw and trimmer. Those who destest safety spouts ( like me) don't be put off by the safety aspect on this one , at least for...

    Best Scissors for....Cutting

    Cutco or old good condition Wiss kitchen scissors. The all metal Wiss that had the colored handles (yellow, red or green were common). I have several Wiss and also the Cutcos. I was surprised to find the Wiss just as good for cutting. The fact the the Cutco can be taken apart is a nice...

    Epstein Day 2019

    Aah, so with that one you don't have to unfold the section to use just the extension. Hmm, might need one of those. :) Seth

    Epstein Day 2019

    I ordered X46F. One way extension but the scale reads from the same end on both sides of the rule. IOW it starts with zero on both sides of the same end. They are so nice I just ordered two more. So that I can put them in all my tool box set ups, and have an extra. Seth

    Epstein Day 2019

    A small haul. The NOS USA made Lufkin rules are excellent! Really nice. The current Lufkin hanging on store racks are just plain junky. Not even close. The 1/4 drive SK sockets are replacing GW. Because the SK are about 1/8" shorter. It just doesn't make sense to me to have 1/4 dr...

    Knipex 85-degree cutters

    Yeah, flush cutters for plastic. I have the same but at the 45 angle. They really do cut flush. I have not dared try them on anything but plastic but they might be OK on really soft, thin metal. BTW, $37.50 including shipping from amazon.de if that helps. Seth

    Chads toolbox is...

    Yeah, it really depends on the item if it is worth the price difference. If it is a fairly prolific tool such as a Wera screwdriver set, then the price is hardly ever much different than Amazon USA. Or if it is available from Amazon Germany. But there have been some things such as the more...

    Chads toolbox is...

    I am not stumping for Chad's. But I have had both very good and bad experiences. In fact I just ordered an item and was really surprised that it showed up very quickly. I think they suffer from old school communication and inventory issues and don't seem willing to update. The problems I...

    Best tool for removing extension cord casings?

    @superautobacs I saw a picture you posted of the PB Swiss seam ripper that you put together. I made a similar from a Wera handle but it is not holding up. Could you post some details on how you made yours? Thanks, Seth

    Tekton-New Socket set releases

    I am interested in the Tekton universals because they are a little shorter than the GW. Not sure how the length compares to the Capri or others. Every little bit helps when it comes to reducing the turning angle. Seth

    Why don't Snap on make combination pliers?

    Yes, at least in my experience, slip joints are the common in every house hold drawer pliers in the USA. Pretty much if you ask someone for a pair of pliers that is what they will get or think of. Seth

    GearWrench 44pc long pattern wrenches problems??

    I bought that set and returned it. It had a bunch of problems. You may have seen my post in another thread on GJ. But apparently others did not have the issues that I had. I think that older / earlier sets may have been Taiwan and were OK. The set I got was China. Not really sure if that was...

    Should I "upgrade" my tongue & groove pliers?

    No, Knipex only makes curved jaws (not counting the pliers wrench). Cobras and Alligators. Same tool with different adjustment mechanism. Seth
