I'm not a HF freight shopper so maybe I'm thinking wrong. But it seems to me that their Pittsburgh ratchets took a significant price hike recently. Didn't I see a 3/8" drive flex head ratchet for under $25.00 recently? This morning I was looking into a cheap flex ratchet for my...

Coming from a carpentry/woodworking background then changing careers late in life to merchant sailing, I'm typically uninformed and behind the times when it comes to mechanics tools. Bit ratchets have been tugging at me for awhile so I thought I'd buy a cheap one to see if I even liked and...

Ever expanding. Still Taiwan. https://www.tekton.com/impact-drive-sockets/impact-bit-sockets

As I wallow in self pity because I can't justify the nearly two hundred dollars for the Proto 90 tooth that I want, I'm researching more affordable options. The affordable domestic options that are currently capturing my interest are the Williams S-52EHLA and the Proto J5450XL. I've never...

I'm wanting to buy some long bit sockets. Specifically, a Torx set and an SAE hex set. I buy a lot of Tekton items when I can't or don't buy domestic. Considering the prices of domestic and my very infrequent need for them, I'll likely buy Taiwan. Has anyone used the Tekton's? I read a lot...

I'm refurbishing a pretty decent 4' X 8' two wheeled utility trailer I've acquired. New decking, new lighting and wiring, bearings inspected & maintained, etc. It's constructed of angle iron with an 8" diamond plate around the front and both sides. I'd like to just wire wheel this thing and...

I'm getting close to purchasing a new long handled (around twelve inches) 3/8" drive ratchet. I was close to buying the proto 90 tooth flex version then decided I wanted a fixed handle. I've posted before and liked what you guys were saying about the Proto 90 tooths. Someone I respect greatly...

Does anyone know a source for these locking pins? I've tried internet search several times and directly emailed the company. No response. I would think they would be a common item but I'm striking out. I only need one and hesitate to use the stand without the pin. Thanks in advance.

I don't shop there and I know nothing about their coupons or the legitemacy. But I saw this somewhere else and thought some of you may benefit.

Can anyone tell me what size bit I need to disassemble a 1/4" drive Tekton 90 tooth ratchet? Hard for my old eyes to see but I believe it's Torx. Number 8 Torx is the smallest I currently have and it's too big.

I'm in the early stages of researching floor jacks. There are so many on the market. I've never owned one and never paid close attention to the ones I've been around so it gets confusing. This will be used in my home setting. Probably the hardest it will work is lifting 1/2 ton Chevy pickups...

Dave advised us awhile ago to be expecting this. I just noticed them on the website a few minutes ago. https://www.tekton.com/1-2-inch-drive-impact-sockets

I cheaped out on the Pittsburgh 1/2" drive, 24" long breaker bar from Harbor Freight because it gets high marks in Garage Journal, is priced at around $20.00 and I thought I'd rarely use it. Well, it impressed me for the measly twenty bucks. I've used it way more than I thought I would. I've...

Is there any real difference in the functionality of Knipex pliers wrenches in black or chrome? I want the ten inch version and it seems the price goes up every few days. The black can still be bought for just over fifty bucks. The chrome is always more and I don't know why? Is it just aesthetics?

I broke a terminal clamp on a Harley three wheeler that belongs to my lady friend. I tried a cheap lead clamp type but it's junk and I'm sorry I even tried it. I've never used the compression type. I can see by looking at them that I'm going to have to determine my wire gauge to do it properly...

Not having 3/8: drive deep 12 points was eating at my obsession. Most of my sockets are SK but was looking at Tekton (again) due to retirement budget. Used wasn't producing any real bargains. But I came across a nine piece set of NOS Proto Challengers on eBay for less than thirty bucks...

I see they have the sets, the specs and the prices up on their website. They aren't available yet but you can browse.

This is not your usual GJ topic. Nothing about cars, heavy equipment, ratchets or wrenches. This is to show how I built a water collection system to provide free water to my greenhouse. The entire system (excluding the wood deck it sits on) was built for around a hundred fifty dollars. The...

I'm looking for a 45 degree (or more) offset metric double box end set. Strongly prefer domestic but will consider others (no China). Standard pattern. Must be reasonable.
