    Fisco Big-T imperial measurement - where to buy?

    Gentlemen, I am in the market for a few new tape measures and would like to try out the Fisco Big-T. Unfortunately all I can find are either metric, or metric/imperial. I want one that is only imperial. I know they have made them in the past and even rebranded them in the past, but I can't...

    New Snap-On F100

    I’ve seen snap on has released an F100 ratchet, basically a 100 tooth pear head/update on the F80. I was just wondering if anyone had a chance to play with one yet, I’m not sure it’s worth upgrading to me as the dual 80 has never left me wanting for swing arc.

    WTB SK 89480 Metric Stubby Flex Ratcheting Box Wrench Set or Equivalent

    I figure this is a long shot, but I am searching for an SK G-Pro 89480 5 Piece Metric Stubby Flex Ratcheting Box Wrench Set. I know these were also rebranded by Cornwell Under the Blue Power name, and possibly by Snap-on under the Blue Point brand, as well as possibly others. If you have a set...

    Is there a place to buy actual Kabo tools?

However, I stumbled across this set https://www.endeavourtools.com.au/XLT5-MET-flexible-stubby-ratchet-wrench-set that I am interested in and can’t find anyone that rebrands it. Does anyone know of a...

    Question about torque angle with torque wrench

    This may be a stupid question, but I am looking at buying a 1/2" drive Snap on techangle. I haven't used one of these before with the angle function built in and had a question.

    why are non ratcheting flex head box ends not a thing?

    It seems these days that the extra long flex head ratcheting box end wrenches (primarily manufactured by kabo) are all the rage and has me thinking that I would like to try a set. However, looking around I think that the fixed box end with flex ratcheting on the opposite end such as the matco...

    I'm just looking for some feedback, I was looking at lodesol magnetic mats and wondering how well they work or what everyones thoughts are?

    small size wrenches < 10 mm / 3/8"

    Looking for some opinions, I am looking at adding some smaller wrenches to my arsenal 6-9mm and probably 1/4-5/16". My question is, what would you go for, short pattern or regular pattern? The short pattern seems like it would fit more places where I am likely to find these smaller fasteners...

    any opinions on Xtool vs Autel Scanners?

    I've been looking for a scanner with some bidirectional capability for a while now. Autel seems to be the "go-to" whenever anyone mentions a scanner other than snap-on. However, it looks like xtool is relatively new on the scene and highly thought of as well from what research I could do and...
