About two months ago I started working at a late-model garage. Before that, I had worked at a hot rod shop. I have a full set of metric Snap-on wrenches I brought to the garage. I figured SAE would be fairly rare and I wanted to keep my SK long-patterns at home. I just grabbed my full set of...

So, I just got a "new" 6-ton pair in from Chicago Pneumatic that looked like they were used for shot-put practice on a Midwest street. Yeah, they're just jack stands, but these were chewed up pretty bad and they're going back. I don't mind paying money for jack stands; I'm also sold on this...

I just got this in today from HJE. Just an amazing little ratchet. Wright really hit it out of the park in making this ratchet as compact as possible. Although it has a 1/4" handle, I still had to do a double take to make sure it was the right 3/8" drive size I ordered (it was). Flex joint...

Anyone on this forum have both of these ratchets? I'm looking for an affordable, USA-made long-handle 1/2" drive ratchet to complement the standard-length, fine-tooth 1/2" Snap-on and flex-head I use at the garage. We work on '76 and earlier domestics so there's generally more room in the engine...

My apologies if this is in another thread, but a quick search turned up nothing definitive: Who made the old USA Craftsman reversible ratcheting wrenches? I don't own any by another manufacturer so I can't compare. I understand there were few plants producing these in the US. Was it Armstrong?

I've lurked for a while and really appreciate all of the knowledge I've gleaned from this site. One tip I picked up on was checking pawn shops' "loose bins." Having seen beat DeWalt orbital sanders going for $5 off retail, I avoided the places for years. This weekend I went out and found some...
