But did anyone ever stop to think that auto techs were not the only ones who use hand tools. You know i feel like the 40 tooth round head has a place in every techs box. I...

    cool little trick with sk ratchets

    At least they can say their tools are made in usa. They need to increase inventory yes but they could allow their franchisees the ability to sell gear wrench and ez red like mac and snap on do. Sk list price for a wrench set is half of what snap on sells it for.

    SK tools can hang with the big boys and if Sk ever gets their tool trucks on the road you can say goodby to mac and some other truck brands.

    cool little trick with sk ratchets

    Take a 6 inch flex head and remove the ratcheting mechanism. Take 3/8thumbwheel ratchet and remove ratcheting mechanism. Swap 3/8 with the 1/4 and bam, you got a compact 3/8 6 inch slim flex head ratchet.

    My SK base kit re-review 3 months.

    Well everything has held up fine. I broke a 12mm 3/8 drive hex socket. The hex key not the socket. I was using a 1/2 drive 18" breaker bar on it, my fault. The chrome has held up and it still looks perfect other than the areas where the finish got scratches because of use. Note their wrenches...

    what is the point of spline drive impact tools?

    There are a butload of spline fasteners all over aircraft, enough to justify owning a set of spline wrenches and sockets. Plus almost all fasteners used were 12 pt. I can remember learning the difference as I struggled in a confused state to put a 12 pt box end wrench on that odd fastener. I was...

    what is the point of spline drive impact tools?

    Look at the dang wrench. If it looks like a spline then call it a spline. If it has corners that form 6 or 12 points then it is a 6 or 12 point box end. Kobalt makes a spline wrench that they call a universal 12 point. But believe me its a spline.

    what is the point of spline drive impact tools?

    You can use spline wrenches on 12 pt hdwr but not any sort of 12 pt wrench on a spline fastener. Go to work and try it. You'll see.
