Thought some of you guys might enjoy seeing this relic haha

I'm getting tired of the massive pile of extensions in the back of my drawer, and I'm looking for a more organized solution... Anyone have any examples?

I want to finally buy a cordless impact driver as a birthday present to myself. I work in a shop that sees a lot of new, rust-free rent-a-heaps for light duty & maintenance work, so I'm specifically looking for one to handle skid plate bolts, belly pans, trim, battery terminals, trans & oil pan...

I swung through the local HD last night to pick up some replacement impact sockets since I needed them now rather than next time the tool truck swings through (Thursdays in my neck of the woods) and noticed something different about the Husky impacts -- they're shiny -- like, polished and gun...

Anyone know who makes socket extensions with the best knurling? To clarify, I'm basically looking for the sharpest/grippiest knurling with good coverage. Been doing a lot of grimy work here lately & I'm getting sick of struggling to get a good grip. What I have currently is a mix of US...

Long story short, I killed a few screws today thanks to some too-soft and well used bits, and I'd like to avoid that happening again if at all possible, as it wasn't a lot of fun to rectify. That being said, what are the best quality bits out there? Gonna need phillips, flat, torx, and hex at...

OK, opinion time! I'm looking to pick up a cordless 1/4in impact driver to use at work. Mostly for removing/reinstalling belly pans, opening air boxes, interior work, fairing removing/reinstallation, and pretty much anything else that involves zipping a few dozen screws on and off in short order...

I hit the local Home Depot, Lowes, Autozone, and O'Reillys and came up empty. Anyone know where to buy an air line swivel like the one pictured below locally? My work unfortunately doesn't see tool trucks, so that'd be a tough one for me.

I know this topic has to already be here somewhere, but apparently my phone and the search feature dont play well together. What im looking to accomplish is write up a pdf document for new techs to help them get up and running in the industry. The target obviously is the pretty green guys, who...

Well i pulled the trigger on some GearWrench locking flex head ratchets, and well, theyre pretty dang thin at the head... already paid for themselves by squeezing into places nothing else would. For reference i snapped some photos of the GW 3/8 head next to a Cman RP flex head and a Snappy F851...

Anyone have any experience with this thing? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-56-in-10-Drawer-Cabinet-Tool-Chest-Blue-VRB-5610BUHU/206266485 It has 22in deep drawers which makes it appealing to me, but I'm curious what the steel is like, as well as what kind of retention (latch or detent) is on...

If your tools live in something that isn't a "standard" toolbox, share a photo and a story! I had to ditch my good box to keep the bill collectors at bay thanks to a layoff, so I'm working out of something that looks like a cooler for the time being. lol. It's packed to capacity with mechanic's...

I've been searching with no luck, for a wrench organizer similar to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00829RCXE/?tag=atomicindus08-20 but with more space. I've got about 20 wrenches in SAE-long and metric-long ranging from 1/4 to 1-3/4 and 5.5mm to 32mm and I'd like to find an organized, easily...

So, I was writing some tool reviews and had a random thought... Most of the ratchets I own have the same pawl designs. Curious as to which of the two is more advantageous, and why? Pictures below:

Anyone know of any good hard-handled JIS screwdrivers? Looking for something with a similar design to the older orange S-O hard-handles (http://s1365.photobucket.com/user/makmcguire/media/Snap-OnScrew_zpsf9766be6.jpeg.html) and/or the Kobalt opaque blue handles...

I learned some interesting stuff about Kobalt branded hand tools today and figured I'd share in case anyone else is interested in this sort of thing. Early Kobalt Hand Tools (1998-2002) were manufactured by the J.H. Williams Tool Company (Snap-On). These were primarily USA-Made. Mid-Gen Kobalt...

So I've been lurking around reading for awhile and finally decided to sign up and join the discussion. Basically, I have some newer cman ratchets currently, and I'm wearing 'em out on a near-weekly basis. Looking for some sturdier stuff, with a few preferences in mind. Made in USA is...
