So tell me more about those ratchet sockets. Where to buy? etc. Thanks, Seth

Hmmm, well I would say if you are going with SO slip joint pliers and already have or plan to get a cobra type plier (especially if you get / have smaller cobra type) then get the Flank Drive slip joint. Since the cobras will be the first choice for for that type of gripping might as well have...

BTW, one thing that the Wera chip lifter works great on .............................. removing / installing the bars on a watch. The spring loaded watch band holders. The notch is perfect for controlled compression and maneuvering. Seth

Checked a few manufacturers websites ..................................... looks like Capri, V8, have gone to 30 / 60. Sunex still 15 / 60. Others ? Good to see more options. Just make sure not to get old stock. Seth

The new (er) Tektons are 30/ 60 . When I was shopping for them the Tekton's and Snap On's were the only 30 / 60 I could find. The V8 , Capri and every other brand were 15/60. Maybe others have changed to 30/60 but before buying I would check thoroughly as to the angle. Seth

And don't forget the Knipex Twin Grips that are featured in Darkzero profile picture. ;) Seth

Some things have changed since that post. Some of the Craftsmans have worn out (were worn out then but I didn't want to give them up). And for most I have switched to Wera. I always did like the handles on the old Craftsman Pro / Industrial. Here are the current screwdriver drawers. Some of...

I have that Wera. It is not a really strong pry bar. It is intended for electronics ( chips and such ). But it is handy for small parts loosening and maneuvering. I would not try using it as a real pry bar such as the Snap On's, or a small screwdriver, or tack puller. Seth

Yeah, It seems there might be a down turn in CHL quality over the last 5 - 7 years. My anecdotal evidence is the slip joint pliers. I bought three in different sizes about 5+ years ago. The teeth wore very quickly. In just a few uses for regular pliers stuff they were noticeably less grippy...

Looking for wobble only extensions in a good range of lengths up to 10" - 12" in all drive sizes. So far found Snap On, Nepros, Matco, Icon ( but has limited lengths). Will spend the dollars if need be, but if I can find them for less that would be good. So far all the less expensive brands...

Anyone know anything about this brand Welzh Werkzeug ? Looks like probably a rebranding company. Punch sets look like they are Facom. Seth

OK, great! Thanks, Seth

Trying to find a particular Husky toolchest. Model HOTC9624BB1M 96" . HD 96 in. W x 24 in. D 24-Drawer Matte Black Mobile Workbench Cabinet with Stainless Steel Top. It has been shown on the website for quite some time but with no availability. As far as I can tell it may not have ever...

Skil 2736 Top Gun 12v NiCd. About 35 + years ago. Actually ended up with 3 or 4 of them in the family. Used the heck out of all of them. After shafts started to get too wobbly and the batteries were also going ended up switching to DeWalt 12v NiCd about 20+ years ago. The DWs are all gone now...

I should note that the newest Festool cordless TSC 55 KEB-F does not have a riving knife. They have gone to an electronic anti kick back sensor. Seth

Which saw do you have? The riving knife on the Festool is spring loaded (except on very old models) and retracts (gets pushed up) into the housing if there is no kerf for it to slip into, such as the start of a plunge cut. Riving knife is good to have on the track saw when ripping solid wood...

Even though that PF video is pretty new, I notice that the Tekton pliers tested are not the current version. Besides a different lever they are now made in Taiwan. The ones in the video are China. Maybe the new ones are better? Seth

I don't see why it would be overkill. Especially since the cost is not that much unless you go beyond screwdrivers and a couple pairs of pliers / cutters. Some are saying that ".... if your a pro it is worth it .... DIY, no need ......" If anything I think the DIY has a higher need since the...

As far as buying just the shallow sockets and then a ratchet goes ........................ even with the lower Amazon price on that one particular set, if you add the extensions the cost is so near to the full set cost that the deep sockets are almost free. Seth
