8100 SA All-in Zyklop Speed Socket Set 1/4" I haven't been able to bring myself to buy any of the Wera socket sets for years, drooling over them on the internet. From reading about mediocre reviews here and their super expensive prices, I just couldn't do it until now. I finally convinced...

I've ordered some online, about a week ago and it still hasn't shipped, so I've been one a wild goose chase going everywhere local only to find LEAD-FREE solder, Walmart, AutoZone, Lowe's, O'Reillys website asked me for my locations and then told me my local store has 60/40 solder in stock, so I...

I can't figure out how you guys with enclosed V-Nose trailers build shelves that perfectly match the inside angles of the "v" section. Is there an easy trick to this that I'm missing? I have a plastic triangular "square" tool, with some angles on it, but I don't know how I'd use that inside...

I'm looking to buy a good extension cord for running 12A power tools from a generator or other portable power source. I'm seeing some cheaply priced 10/3 x 100' and started wondering if I need to be concerned about copper-clad-aluminum strands or not. It was an ordeal trying to find the pure...

I've been stressing over losing my little Wiha bit-kit for like 3 months, and have substituted lesser tools to get some things done in the meantime, hoping it would turn up one day. I found it today! What's this feeling called? Relief? Peace? Happiness? Gratitude? Whatever it is, that's...

Why do some circular saws have this 45º shoulder in the shoe? If it's important, what can this type of baseplate do that a rectangular one can't do? I was using a straight-edge as a fence to cut straight, then I hit that bevelled area on the saw's baseplate, and the saw instantly went off...

I did a search and found some old threads, but those deals have long since expired. I'm looking for some pure copper booster cables and I don't want to make them myself from welding wire, because I want them to be connected and color coded the whole way through. Anyone have any leads on some...

I've been googling for a few hours, but I need help figuring out what new tools I'll need to buy for an R55 MINI Cooper S Clubman. All I found from searching GJ were people brutally bashing the car. :( I only have your basic TORX bits (and the "normal" tools, like metric sockets, hex, and...

Whoa. Have you seen this thing? What in the . . . ??? :confused: http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-3-8-inch-drive-mach-series-ratchet/ It looks like C-Man finally jumped on the Roto-Trend, but went crazy with theirs. Roto's have always been my favorite type of ratchet, but I don't think...

I'm trying to decide if 24-inches will reach the transmission bell-housing bolts (in most cars/trucks) or if I should get the 36-inch. Or is it 24-inch for cars and 36-inch for trucks?

I see 3 piece sets up to 7 pieces, usually shallow sockets with a 3/8" drive. On my car, I should be able to get a 1/2" drive 27mm socket on there no problem, but I was wondering how important it is to get these specific "oil filter sockets" and if many cars need the extra low profile for...

What's in your bicycle/motorbike riding carry along tool kit? Trying to configure a good little tool kit to carry on the bike. I was considering a little set of bits with maybe a bit-ratchet and/or some kind of handle. I think the little bits might rattle loose from vibration or maybe easy to...

I was measuring my Phillips heads today with some digital calipers and noticed they look the same except for the "square" at the tip. The #1 is 1mm from the nearest crevice to the opposite, and the #2 is 2mm. If I ground the tip from a #1 until it was 2mm across, would it be a "real" PH #2...

I'm trying to figure out if I should get all congruent numbers, or opt for these sets that skip "useless" sizes. Some wrench sets skip 20mm. Has anyone ever needed a 20mm? I can't say that I ever have. What about 23mm? I usually go from 32mm all the way to 36mm, so are all those sizes in...

I'm in the process of getting a torx driver kit, probably sockets. I'm wondering if I have to get both Torx PLUS, as well as regular Torx bit sockets. Can you use the Torx PLUS bits in regular torx fasteners? I've read you can use Regular Torx bits in Torx PLUS fasteners, if you go gentle...
