I have recently took a shine to Cornwell tools and had enquired about the price of importing a small roll cab to the UK, but didn’t like the price. I was amazed to see this box on E Bay as I didn’t know any had come over the Atlantic so I snapped it up for a fraction of the price of a Snap On...

Cornwell don’t seem to make the cwx open end and swivel socket wrenches any more. Any Cornwell enthusiasts know when they finished. I have managed to get a 19 mm but I’m not sure how easy it will be to get hold of a more complete set.

Looking for some quality reversible ratchet spanner’s and saw these. Seem a good deal if they are as good as their combination spanner’s.Apart from a 24 mm they should cover my requirements. Anyone had any experience with them...

I know my eyesight is not what it was, but one of my pet hates is struggling to see what I assume is laser engraving on modern tools. I guess it comes down to cost but I know which one of these torque wrenches is more practical to use.I know its better on the lower numbers but you have to get...

Looking for some large solid or taper punches 1/2 inch or above. Mac, Snap on or Cornwell are possibilities at a price. Any US or European manufacturers that I have overlooked. Will be used on ag machinery.

Looking for a hard handle pear head US made 1/2 ratchet without wanting to go Snap On because I fancy something different. Never been on Mac truck so no idea if still US made. Have a 3/8 Cornwell coming so that could be an option or looked at the new SK or Proto which would be harder to get hold...

Need some everyday flat chisels and my US choices here in the UK boil down to Mayhew,Wilde or Dasco. Anyone able to compare these. Don't want to go to Snap On or Proto prices.

Anybody know where they are made. No info. on the website.

Cornwell tools are very rare in the UK and are hard to obtain so if I am going to buy something I want it to be as good as or superior to Snap On. So I guess I'm asking what are Cornwell really good at manufacturing. It must be US made and I am in ag. environment so I will not use any auto...

I have never used a decent pair of slip joints and they don't seem to be popular in the UK. Can any one tell me why I should buy a pair in addition to the linesman pliers I use other than the obvious benefit of satisfying a tool fetish. These would be used on ag. equipment.

I have chance of free shipping to UK from Canada this month. I was hoping to get some tools that are out of my budget here such as mayhew bars , SK wrenches ,Gray stuff and Channelocks but I am struggling to find an Epstein/ Tooltopia equivalent in Canada. Any thoughts on where to look. Thanks

Just for the fun of it I decided to start an all US made long wrench set with each wrench made by a different manufacturer. Not so easy when many brands are unavailable over here. So far I have Armstrong 10mm, Bonney 11mm, Matco 13mm,Mac 17mm, Williams 22mm and SK 24m. I can get Snap On easily...

Anybody help with this one. My knowledge is a bit limited.

Whilst looking for Par-x gear I have been seeing some interesting older tools that have taken my fancy. So here is the start of my under £10 tool haul ( I wonder how long that rule will last!). Coming in at £9.50 . It might not get much use as Whitworth stuff is few and far between apart from...

I am smartening up my farm truck and ditching all my junk tools for decent European tools. I have got a great new set of long series metric Stahlwille spanners from Germany, some ex army Gedore sae spanners and sockets, and Knipex pliers. On the ratchet spanner front my tractor toolbox contains...

Would any Craftsman enthusiast be able to give me a likely age on this piece of kit. Also how good a quality were they. There seems to be some really nice machinist chests on here that look pretty well made. Thanks

Can anyone identify the lower part of this combo. Thanks.

I have had a mint condition 11/16 Par-x spanner for a while and have decided to try to make up a set of what Par-x produced. The first problem is there seems to be no information on the web that lists what they made. I know they made screwdrivers and tool boxes- how rare are these?. Does anyone...
