    Good digital multimeter that won't break the bank?

    VC99 is very good for around 30 bucks. Very easy to read and even does temperature.

    Pass through socket set

    Last year I bought the big GW pass through socket set. When looking at the reviews for this set I thought to myself "God, I'm going to be using this set all the time!" Couldn't be farther off base. I literally almost never have a use for them. I did use it maybe once on some threaded rod but...

    Do I need SAE tools?

    It might be rare that you see a inch fastener but you will see some anywhere you go. I would be willing to bet if you went bmw you would see bolts that owners put in theirselves or on fluid lines. If you work domestic you will be doing recalls on old vehicles and trade ins. Plus think if a...

    Do I need SAE tools?

    The answer is definitely yes. Even if you work at a dealership you have to work on trade-in older cars. Plus you would be laughed out of there if you didn't have sae tools. Just don't go all out. Get a couple of go to set of sockets and wrenches. Trust me no one likes the guy borrowing basic...

    KD wrenches?

    That looks like a good deal if the seller comes off his price a little. I have used matco wrenches before and have to say there awesome! I wanted to get a set that goes from 7 or 8 to 22mm for around a hundred and just bought another set of SK. Paid 120 shipped lightly used. Im pretty happy

    KD wrenches?

    Maybe a little off subject but could someone tell me why the Wrightgrip wrenches are twice the cost.of the regular wright wrenches? I always hear good things about the Wrightgrips but I'm at awe at the price tag of them.

    KD wrenches?

    I'm looking for a review for KD USA wrenches. I found a good deal on some and they look great but how do they perform/hold-up to daily wrenching. I use s•k at work but would like a set for my shop at home. Will they be atleast somewhat comparable. Never used anything KD USA just gear wrench

    Hilti made in China

    You stating that the extra money made by cheap foreign labor goes to better materials, now that is comical. Everyday we are funding China's econonomy and kicking our own *** out of the title of the worlds biggest super power. And most are happy to do so

    Need 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch speeders....

    I don't own any of the speed handles. I feel like I can perform the same function with a ratchet and 12in extension.

    Craftsman NOS tool prices

    Yeah it's bad when Cman pro wrenches cost more than sk or Armstrong. I have a set of Cman pros and I have to say I don't get it.

    Christmas time means more tools!

    I dont ask for tools at Xmas, I ask for prepaid cards. Most women and in-laws dont seem get it. One year I told my wife I could use a good drill and I ended up with a 12v Black and Decker. My inlaws like to get me the latest in Craftsman useless gimmicks like the bionic wrench craftsman edition...

    Sk ratchets

    I dont care really that much about the ratchets in the sets I just meant them as an example. The round head SK are good ratchets. I have used ones of my grampa's that where probably 40 years old and still work great. Thats the good thing about them. If I hated them I would say. Like when in Tech...

    Sk ratchets

    Idk I have the 10.9 in sk flex head and the gearwrench flex 120xp and the gearwrench seems to get more work done in tight spaces and fits better. The sk is really good but I'm super impressed with the 120. I had the f80 too and it was also great but I sold it and got 3 of the 120xps. Not real...

    Sk ratchets

    In my experience round heads are a tiny bit fatter but main thing is the direction switch. I mean opinions aside all other companies have both kinds. Does anyone have a link with the details of new pear head Sk ratchet mentioned earlier in the thread?

    Sk ratchets

    I don't think it would hurt to come up with a more versatile sleeker ratchet. The round head design definitely has its place. It's a great ratchet just in the larger drives it's not the best for working on newer cars. My main issue is that the box sets while not SO expensive are an investment...

    Sk ratchets

    Ok I'm in the midst of going all Sk for my basic hand tools for work. I think Sk makes awesome tools. Love the superkrome sockets, wrenches, extensions, and so on. I want to get the 49 piece sets that come in the green box in 3/8 and 1/4. Only thing holding me back are the ratchets in the set...

    Snap on box good deal?

    I thought it was pretty steep for that box. I do t really need any of the tools. I have plenty of USA craftsman, gearwrench and sk hand tools. Only problem is Sears just packed up and left and no sk dealer so warranty will be painful from now on. I would like to skip the whole tool truck wallet...
