    Yeah, that's unfortunate. I liked these, forged S2 and stress relieved. Wasn't my call, but I suppose sales just tapered year after year, there are a lot of cheaper similar looking sets now out there and we were already offering it about as low as we could so it lost out to others from what I...

    Do Astro Pneumatic adapters fit the Pittsburgh radiator tester?

    IMO it should fit, most of these cap fittings are the same and your measurements match yours, more than the solid fractions listed above https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51miMq4N+0L._AC_SL1109_.jpg

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    The aim wouldn't be to imply to people "hey, get rid of your standard wrenches and get these" more like we want to make good wrenches in this category, have been for awhile working on long term durability and designs. If we added this feature with no real noticeable cost difference, simply to...

    Sadly, few bought them. We mainly make that category for tool trucks now

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    There is no locking or unlocking sequence or rotation required to activate anything, the ratcheting end is 12 points, 6 of which let you go past a bolt head or nut should you choose, 6 of them keep it on top of the nut or bolt like a shelf, similar to the Joker.

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    This is all I could think of, though can't think of a scenario that exists or that the 1st nut should stay on there and not also be moved.

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    We also have stand-off extended design types like the KABO design we've been working on that can use the same principle, and is in the patent drawings. There's no special way they have to be used. If you want to use them like a regular 12-point ratcheting wrench on a flanged bolt head they work...

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    They'd 100% be reversible either way. The main concern you face as a brand is adding locking flex head or some other feature, and now you're ~10% above other for example XL wrenches and get 0% of the sales just due to $15-18 or something. this design is locking all the time, the switch type...

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    I guess that's the question I'm posing. We could just make great wrenches and leave this off if people will only consider them due to this feature and if they need that or not. As correct, it wont help on a flanged bolt head, but what I'm curious about is if anyone sees this as a real life...

    Ratcheting Wrenches that stay on top of the bolt head or nut

    What's the good folks of GJ's thoughts on this prototype we showed at SEMA, 2nd half of this video. A ratcheting 12-point that you can keep on top of a bolt head or nut, or not should you choose. Sort of like the Joker wrench, but on a box end ratcheting end so you dont have to keep replacing it...

    SEMA 2025

    We don't make anything for VIM, and VIM does make a fair amount of their own stuff and largely private label as well just like we do, in the sense they will have their own designs, tooling, exclusives they are asking their factory side to make.

    Drill bits should come left-handed by default

    The amount of people warrantying left-hand drill bits because "they dont cut" or "they dont bite" but have the same complaint about their free replacement because its later revealed they keep using them in forward says to me that we're lucky most people are not often coming into contact with...

    Did power/cordless tools change significantly over the past decade?

    Battery tools now can have more total peak draw power on tap than corded tools with the batteries many top brands are making. It may not sound true, but not only do many have more total watts to draw from than the typical 120V US plug, the brushless motors used mean that those watts turn into...

    Yes, that's about right. There was no real name for a 1/4" in a *** whatever is smaller than 1/4", so it basically sat by the wayside until we could tool up for sealed head non push release
