Bluetooth can't transmit video, let alone decent quality audio in real time. It might be using Bluetooth to initiate a different wireless connection.

Impossible to know without close up photos and precise measurements. I did have a TMS70A a while back that was extremely tight and would not fit many sockets. Sloppy chrome job from the factory brought the drive end out of tolerance and I had to file it down carefully checking with a pair of...

I don't work with a lot of Imperial fasteners, but I would definitely recommend a good set of allen keys. Most hex fasteners can fit an adjustable wrench or a "close enough" metric socket in a pinch but there really is no stand-in for properly sized allen keys.

You could use something like PB 450.M or PB 451.M as an extension to hold short bits, I use that on my Anex 8100 handle.

Found a stainless 9mm Olfa (SVR-2) at the bookstore earlier, some comparison pictures next to a classic 2B model. Dimensions are smaller but it feels blockier in the hand because of the shape. Blade is marked stainless as well, so I guess the only moisture vulnerable part would be the yellow...

I suspect an e-torx box end wrench was the intended tool there. But still, jeez, a 12 point nut wouldn't have done the trick? lol

Look up what values you need; that's your answer. Even lug nuts for something like an Isuzu NPR, Ford F-150, or Mazda Miata are going to be wildly different. In that example, the spec roughly doubles for each vehicle size up. Really, you just have to look up what jobs you plan to do and what...

No, those are made by SK as far as I am aware. Wright and Snap-on both use a similar rotary pawl mechanism. Wright's mechanism, however, is not user serviceable compared to SK and they use a helical split ring retainer vs a regular snap ring. Not sure on Snap-on as I don't own one. Pretty...

They also have one with unique stepped shoulders for brake pipe fittings in a 10x12 (MZ1) and a Nepros version (NMSZ-10) wich is a 10x10 with one stepped end and one regular flare nut. KTC has some cool flare nut designs but those three series are pretty much just 10mm (and a 12mm) for Japanese...

I have these, a bit industrial finish but seem nice quality. Haven't had much chance to use the bigger sizes yet. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/tools-of-japan.97563/post-10256306

It's a very nice color, but more of a plum or dark magenta imho than straight up purple.

Why is there a Snap-on and Milwaukee logo just floating there? I don't see any tools... :dunno:

Zoro has really good support in my experience. Just give them a call if you have an issue or question. They stock and ship a lot of US brands direct but some things have to be imported or drop-shipped from vendors. In my experience, Gedore, Stahlwille, or Facom take a while to ship, often a...

Asahi still makes chromed steel spinners of near identical design.

They don't :P 6.3mm, 9.5mm, 12.7mm, etc.

Hex and torx can transfer a higher torque than flathead or crosshead. In most cases, you don't need the extra leverage of a T-handle to break flathead/crosshead fasteners loose and it could pose a risk of damage when tightening. There are some T-handles out there for crosshead (ex: Kowa...

I ha I have one very small size (maybe a 1.5 or 2mm) of the Beta hard handle. Build quality is nice and the size is clearly moulded into the handle in case the ink wears off. I just tend to prefer non-L handles.

I have a Wiha set. I find their classic handle shape to be the most comfortable for my hand. The plastic also tends to wear more gracefully than rubberized coatings over time (although my torx set has hardly been used). The Bondhus people are recommending should be fine quality tips and they...

Definitely belongs here. Congrats on the find and thank you for sharing!

Besides what others have mentioned, torque wrenches tend to be longer than most other tools. A regular fixed wrench or ratchet might be fine to assemble something but you may not have clearance for the longer torque wrench, especially for stuff that is deep in a bay or recessed behind another...
