Just wondering if anyone has a source or knows of a good place to look for old drawer pulls like you'd find on an old Proto or Waterloo box. I have an old Mac box that had its drawer pulls stolen at one point (wtf) and they were replaced with the more curved Proto style ones, but some are...

I have a lead on a set of Mac flare nut wrenches for a good price. However they are a bit older so they do not have "surface drive" or whatever you want to call it (radiused corners that don't contact the fastener). Now I know the consensus here is Snap-on or bust for flare wrenches, but will...

I have a 3/8 SO torque wrench that apparently has the "positive lock" feature in which you can't turn the handle down to the point where the wrench comes apart. I went to use it today and noticed that the handle was down past the lowest mark (5 ft lb). Must not have been paying attention when I...

Just got the Ridgid 18v lith-ion impact driver today and good god, what a handy tool for automotive work. Upon getting it, I zipped off a strut tower brace, took off some crusty mud flaps, re-aligned a hood, and replaced a couple headlamp assemblies with it literally in just a few minutes...

I was at Princess Auto and noticed that the ubiquitous Fuller acetate handle screwdrivers that us Canadians know and love and grew up with (like the old Craftsman drivers for you guys in the States) are no longer made domestically. The handles don't say Canada anymore and the packages don't have...

This is super nit picky but I just noticed this recently. When the head on my old Mac 1/2 flex ratchet is in the middle detent (straight), the head points downward slightly and I subconsciously move it, thinking its not in the center position. It's driving me nuts. I'm not sure if it was always...

Yesterday I was trying to determine if a vehicle had a parasitic draw. I set up my DMM in series with the negative battery cable & post and had my meter on the A setting with the red lead in the 10A jack. Reading was 0.00. I thought this was weird because there should at least be SOME draw...

I have to tap a hole in an exhaust manifold for a 3/4" bolt. I have the tap, but not a T wrench big enough for it. Even if I did, the hole is in a weird spot that wouldn't permit the use of a tap wrench anyway. However, I have a 12 pt socket that fits perfectly on the tap.. can I just use a...

I'm just wondering if the shipping total that they quote you in the checkout includes duty/import fees or will there be charges on delivery? Thanks

I'm in need of a gasket scraper. For diff covers, oil/trans pans, and water pumps, is it necessary that I get a carbon steel scraper similar to the Snap On style ones? Because I found a Blue Point putty scraper style one on ebay that I can get for a few bucks; it seems like this might be...

The other day I was looking for the metric set of mastercraft maximum wrenches at CT, but I noticed something weird. The two stores in my area both did not have either the metric or SAE sets in stock. Instead, there was an abundance of full polished NON-maximum metric and SAE sets that look...

Specifically the Taiwan stuff. I noticed that I have quite a few Kobalt pieces in my box, and, frankly, I really like them. I'm not a pro, just dyi'er, but if I ever need something Lowes always seems to come through. My Lowes has a huge selection, they have everything- several ratchet styles in...

I saw today that Can Tire has the Mastercraft 3 piece step drill set on sale for like $10 (75% off). As I was handling the package in the aisle, another customer walked by, noticed me, and stopped to tell me how horribly useless the bits were and that they were a complete waste of money. I was...

So last month I ordered an 84 tooth GearWrench 3/8 ratchet to try just to see what the fuss is about. I have a set of GearWrench reversible ratcheting wrenches and they are great, so I expected likewise from the ratchet. When I got it, I put it to work immediately. 5 minutes in the things just...
