    Big flex handle storage box

    I have a 40'' 3/4'' drive flex handle, won't even come close to fitting in my tool box, even at an angle. Don't have a blow molded case for it, so I'm looking for a plastic box that would hold it alone without much room to spare. Don't like my tools sitting out in the open air. Can't find...

    Crowfoot vs flare nut crowfoot

    I was wondering, why would you need a regular crowfoot socket set if you already have a flare nut crowfoot socket set? I mean, wherever you would want to use a crowfoot like on a stud or turnbuckle (jam nut etc) you would be able to slide a flare nut crowfoot onto it. So why two sets? Is there...

    Just in wal mart looking at tools...

    Haven't been in wal mart for a while, especially looking at tools. I noticed they've improved a lot on their stanley tools. They actually look worth using. I picked up a half inch breaker bar. Much beefier than my craftsman and it's got a nice chrome finish. The combo wrenches were also nicely...

    Why is this priced so high?

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B0XIL6/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Please tell me what about this makes it so high priced? I know it's a precision tool, but there are other tools with similar precision that are under $50. This is just the kind of thing that makes me wonder, if they put a high price on...

    Craftsman tools manufacturer's list

    This might be old news. It's new to me, though. Just thought I'd post this here for anyone that didn't know. Apparently Craftsman has long been restamping other manufacturer's tools. They don't even make their own stuff hardly any more. Evidently Danaher is making their hand tools. For others...

    VIM Tools?

    VIM tools has the best deals on COMPLETE hex and torx socket sets, and their full sets are cheaper than Craftsman partial sets. Trouble is I've never heard of them. Made in China? Cheap junk? What's the deal with them?

    Husky tool chests

    Why is it that Husky tool chests are over $1000, but when you find them used in perfect condition they're only asking a few hundred. Is husky really that bad that they lose value as soon as they leave the lot like a car? I see used SO chests that are being sold at almost 80% of retail. Really...

    What's this worth : OLD Mac ratchet

    I have a 3/8'' drive pear head ratchet from Mac that is easily 40 years old, used by a Ford factory worker in Ohio way back when. It was black oxide finish but is now brown, but it still works. Not terribly rusted (just surface). Any idea of cost or if this item is even desirable? Also several...

    HF pliers quality

    I can't rely on the comments made on HF's website because there's too many hatemongers there JUST to post bad comments about HF stuff, so it's hard to tell who actually has them, and who uses theirs a lot. I was interested in upgrading my pliers collection since it's really lacking. Some people...

    Letter stamping on sockets

    I have a complete set of craftsman easy-to-read sockets, all drive sizes, standard, deep, metric, inch. I can see this etching is not going to last long, especially how I'm going to be using them. So, I'd like to stamp the sizes into the sockets using a stamp punch set (maybe my initials too)...
