    Dewalt torque wrenches. Yay or nay?

    Dewalt makes micrometer torque wrenches (or rebrands them). I noticed them on sale at a local store. The DWMT75462 is $90.00 on sale, Canadian. I'm looking for a decent 1/2" torque wrench just for wheel changes and other random suspension work, but I'm not willing to invest in a Snap On or...

    Snap On makes PINK prybars?? Since when?

    I found this on ebay. Here's the link. If you type the part number into the Snap On site, you come up with nothing. If you Google search the part number, SPBS704AP, you come up with this. I'd buy a set, but I'm not paying ebay prices for shipping to Canada. Is there anything else new that...

    What SIZE lineman pliers do you prefer?

    I bought the Channellock 369 XLT lineman pliers today. Now, I have really big hands. I can palm a basketball easily. The pliers I got were the 9.5" version, but there was a 10.5" version on the rack, too. The 9.5" ones feel quite large. I think the 10s would be way too big to be useful. I'm...

    Help ID the OEM for these screwdrivers.

    This is the screwdriver set in question. There's a very large view on the Gray site when you hoover over this picture. They are sold by Gray Tools, but I doubt they are actually made by Gray. I have one, and I'll complete the set eventually, but Gray only sells these with Roberston tips. I'd...

    Bosch IDH182 Socket Ready Impact. Thoughts??

    I want to hear some actual users tell me what they think of the Bosch IDH182. It's the one with the 1/2" socket driver AND the 1/4" hex chuck for driver bits. Has anyone used one for any length of time? Honest opinions? I use a good mix of sockets and driver bits, so this impact really appeals...

    Inherited a big VISE! Any help with I.D. from a pic?

    I've been given this vise as a house warming gift, by my wife's uncle. He says I can have it because it's way too big for his work bench. It was his father's old vise, and he's currently 96 yrs old. This will be my first vise. He sent me this picture, but I haven't seen it myself. He doesn't...

    Snap On pink tools!

    Gray Canada impact extensions, made in Canada?

    I'm hoping someone here has Gray Tools impact extensions, 3/8 and 1/2, and can tell me if they have "Canada" stamped into them. Most of their chrome stuff, and impact sockets are made in Canada, but I can't find any info on the impact extensions. I'd rather quality, domestic made tools, rather...

    Drilled spanner screwdriver, I need one.

    I need a screwdriver for these screws. They are face plate screws for the exterior key switch to apartment parking garage doors. (I service these, not just trying to break in lol) All I can find are "Spanner" screwdrivers, which are more like an interrupted slot, rather than two round holes...

    Want to see a tandem shaft garage door with huge springs?

    I didn't take any pictures of the actual door itself. It's a big ugly 14'Wx18'H with 10' of high lift. Here's the dual (tandem) shaft spring assembly require to counterbalance this door. I'm standing on the third floor of this factory, looking at the headgear from the railing. You can see the...

    Green Snap On/Grip-On pliers. I need a part number.

    This is what I'm looking for. I know the re-branded Grip-ons were available in green, but I can't find a part number. Were the green ones only Blue Point at the time? Are they still available? I really want to make green-tool-nut friend of mine jealous. Thanks.

    Snap On 388cf cutters have an overbite!

    I picked up Snap On 388cf diagonal cutters last week. Yesterday was the first day I actually used them. I cut a few 2" common nails, and some wire. They seem to cut great, so far. This is how the jaws line up without load. This is with me squeezing the handles with just my fingertips, while...

    My Kijiji and pawn shop score.

    I bought these since the beginning of the summer. Grand total, $215. I bought a Makita JR3060T for $30 on Kijiji. The front shoe was missing, but that was only $15 at the Makita service store. <a href="http://imgur.com/rItYBul"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/rItYBul.jpg" title="Hosted by...

    Offset, Dbl-box ratchet wrenches, SK or similar?

    Hi there. I'm looking for a set of Double box end, offset ratcheting wrenches in SAE, similar to the picture. SK makes a metric set, but I can't find a listing for a fractional set. SKT89400 is unavailable on Amazon (the SAE set). I have these Craftsman non-ratcheting offset box wrenches, and...

    Gearwrench swivel sockets. Worth it?

    I've been reading up on impact swivel sockets, and I don't know what to think. The Gearwrench ones look very similar to the Harbor Freight ones, and everyone says the HF ones are junk. The ones I bought are 1/2 drive, Gearwrench 84597 and 84598, 1/2 and 9/16. I use, either a Dewalt impact...

    3/8 to 1/4 reducing extension. Does it exist?

    I'm looking for a 3/8" drive extension that reduces to 1/4" drive. Basically, a long 3/8 to 1/4 adapter. Mac has a 1/2" drive set that reduces to 3/8". I've searched for a while, and can't find such a device. Does anyone know if they exist? Thanks.

    Does Wera make SAE hex screwdrivers?

    Lee Valley Hardware sells the Wera Kraftform Plus hex screwdrivers in metric sizes only. http://www.leevalley.com/en/Wood/page.aspx?p=70366&cat=1,43411,70372&ap=1 I'd like to get a set of these in SAE sizes. I picked up a 4.0mm driver, because it fits a 5/32" grub screw perfectly, which is a...

    Overhead door technicians, show us your tool.

    I am a garage door technician in Nova Scotia, Canada. I take pride in my tools, and I always like to see what others are using. What's in your tool belt at all times? What tools do you use for trade-specific applications? IE, I use a Snap on 1/4" break bar and an 8 point, 3/8" socket for the...
