    Williams Sockets ARE Soft

    Just got a $400 order of Williams SAE 6PT sockets to replace my Craftsman ones. Removed some 1/2" bolts on a Dana axle coverplate and the socket already has substantial wear. Never remember my Snap-Ons or Craftsman sockets doing this. I investigate further with a brand new Snappy 7/16" and use...

    What is this thing?

    What is this tool? It has 4 concentric rings that are crimped in the body that are spring loaded to form a conical shape. It is about 1.125" diameter with a 1/2" shank. Material appears to be alloy steel. There is a cap that covers these rings using a 5/16-18 tapered socket cap bolt. Sent...

    SK Goes Boom

    Broke my hardly used SK flex ratchet today. This is the post Ideal takeover. Hopefully the replacement will have a better heat treat. The Craftsman socket held up great though.:) Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Unusual PROTO 425 'Silverware' Ratchet

    I've never seen one before, in person or on the inter-webs. I'm gonna nickname it the silverware ratchet, because the handle reminds me of silverware. Uses the Challenger style double pawl mechanism, with the NBM style head. A NBM mechanism does fit in the body. Fine 60 tooth. Have any of you...

    Proto Lite Aluminum Ratchet

    Found a Proto Lite, $135 BIN on Ebay. Very cool ratchet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Proto-Tools-3-4-Drive-Aluminum-Ratchet-Proto-Lite-5650-/272481337844?hash=item3f712741f4:g:mxgAAOSw2xRYTDAR

    Why no 24" Long Fixed Head Snap-On 1/2 Ratchets?

    Has anyone wondered why Snap-On doesn't offer a 1/2" Dual 80 24'' fixed head ratchet? I mean, they make ridiculous ratchets like the super long 1/4" flex head, so why not something more useful. With the popularity of the Tekton and MAC (and upcoming Proto) versions, can we petition Snap-On to...

    90 Tooth Duralast Sealed Ratchets

    Just saw these at Autozone, look very similar to the Craftsman Premium Series Rats. I played around with the 1/2'' for a bit, and am impressed. Very low drag and the handle is very comfortable. Not really liking the reverse lever, but it feels solid. COO is Taiwan. I believe these are now...

    Champion Air Compressor Deal or not?

    I'm looking for an upright air compressor and found a VR5-8 2014 model for $900. It has the r-15 pump. Problem is it's a 3 phase unit, and I only have 1ph in my garage. I would need to get a 1ph 5hp motor and appropriate contactor, to make it work. So is the price right? Thanks for the insight.

    Tools were Stolen

    Ugh, my Dad had his truck broken into and the scumbag stole his Husky bag full of Klein tools and his fluke meters. (He's a commercial electrician BTW) Police report was filed and waiting on the security cam footage... Just goes to show you how vehicles aren't safe to store your tools. Pisses...

    Old Snap-On Combo Box

    Found this old box for $300. I haven't bought it yet, just looking. Looks like it needs a spray, and ready to go. How old do you guys think it is? I'm guessing late 40s, baby boomer box..:beer:

    Sears Rant, again

    I'm done with Sears, COMPLETELY done. I can no longer stand the incompetence of this company. I ordered the Craftsman 42 pc flex socket set online. I thought "hey, what could go wrong, I know this set is good quality and made in USA." It even said the set was "Made in the United States" in the...
