Looking to buy some original knipex pliers wrenches, the ones without the lines on the handle. Prefer new or nos, but used is fine too, depending on wear. Thank you!

What tool brands, in everyone's humble opinion, hold up and perform the best and longest, without issue? I'm looking to buy tools that, regardless of warranty, will have a very low likelihood of failing. Tools that won't NEED to be warranted because they are so well made. I already have ideas of...

What's the difference between the two exactly, minus the fact that the stork nose are thicker than the needle nose from what I can tell. Also, is there a specific task in which the stork needle nose can be used where the regular needle nose wouldn't suffice? I'm under the impression that the...

I'm looking for the regular Flank Drive Extra Long Metric 10-19mm wrenches, 3/8" regular flank drive semi deep sockets, and the long versions of the talon grip pliers line; needle nose, bent needle nose, combination, diagonal cutters, etc. Thanks in advance! P. S. Looking for tools in either new...

What kind of blades are these and what are they used for? TIA! Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I'm in the market for a set of good wrenches. I've been looking at the WrightGrip wrenches, Proto ASD, Snap On Flank Drive Plus, etc. My biggest concern about the WrightGrip and Flank Drive Plus are how much the serrated teeth dig into fasteners upon removal and tightening, if torqued down too...

I've been buying up used tools from flea markets and garage sales and such for a while now and have found that stanley tools seem to have an excellent chrome coating along with some cheaper made tools as well, oddly enough. I have some Snap On tools in which the chrome coating is severly pitted...

I'd like to know everyone's thoughts about the older Stanley 100 Plus screwdrivers and other tools. I came across a few in some piles of tools I had bought a couple weekends ago and they seem to be made super robust and heavy duty. I would say that they are probably the most heavy duty...

Does the new Milwaukee fuel 2803-20 drill driver have a better chuck than the gen2 model? I had heard bad things about the chucks in the previous generations hammer drills, 2604 and 2704. The chuck in the gen3 looks to be of higher quality, possibly. Can anyone confirm this to be true? I might...

I have a Precision Instruments M2R100FX torque wrench that I would like to check the calibration on; how should I go about doing this? I was thinking of either buying or renting a digital torque adapter and testing it that way, if possible. Would it be better to buy or rent a torque adapter to...

I recently picked up a package of new welding rods from an old workshop and am not entirely sure what kind they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's some pictures.

I'm currently looking for a good set of metric 6 point sockets. I really prefer older Williams branded tools, but most of the sockets they made back in the day were 12 points. At the moment I have a set of brand new SK metric 6 point sockets as well as a Craftsman set, which I do like. I don't...

Hey there everyone. I'm currently looking at picking up some Rockford LSP Brass Hammers, 2 and 3lb models, and was wondering if anyone had experience with this brand, and if so, are they any good? Upon looking at their website, it says they are made in the USA. I also like their handle to head...

Do anyone know if Williams offered an S-52 1/2" Superratchet with a glove lever? There is someone selling one on ebay and it looks to have come from the factory like that. The retaining ring is black which is different than normal, but otherwise looks be in tact. Just looking for some input...

I recently used electrolysis to clean up some rust off some tools and was wondering what the best method was for dispersing the water from the tools? I know WD-40 is good for that, but since I didn't have any on hand, I have them soaking in a bath of ATF.

So, I was browsing my local Goodwill store yesterday and came across this awesome Mitutoyo 3" Micrometer Set, Part #103-922 for $19.99; needless to say, it came home with me. The 1-2" and 2-3" micrometers are missing their lock switches, but I'm looking to buy replacements and fix as necessary...

I bought this pair of pliers from the flea market the other day and can't quite identify the manufacturer, because the engravings are damn near wore completely off. There's a logo of a bird, or so it seems, and I believe I can read "Pine" and further down from that "OT". I could be wrong...

Which vintage tool brands are good to look out for at flea markets and garage sales and such? I normally look for Plomb, Proto (Professional and Regular), Bonney, Wright, Williams, Snap On, Mac, Gedore, etc. I also came across a few wrenches I had never seen before such as Toyota Motor...

Recently I soaked some old sockets in a tub of vinegar for a couple of days to get the majority of the rust off of them. After I took them out, I wasn't too impressed with the results, so I went to the store and bought a bottle of CLR and poured some in a little tub, without diluting, and put my...
