For the most part, I'm happy with my various Irega made adjustable wrenches, but the Snap-On Flank Drive Plus adjustable wrenches have me curious. Namely do the teeth in the jaws offer a noticeable advantage over the usual smooth jaw design other adjustable wrenches have? Looking at this model...

I am getting ready to order some Zephyr slotted insert bits and I am trying to decide between the two hardness options they offer. The "X" grade is harder and is meant for hard sheet metal screws and self tapping screws. The "A" grade is not as hard and they recommend it for regular machine...

I was on the website for Montezuma tools boxes a few days ago and noticed they now have a line of Dewalt licensed triangle tool boxes. The difference mostly is being designed more towards accommodating power tools with a power strip and place for chargers, along with a holder for at least one...

I'm looking to buy a pan and box brake for some projects I would like to do. I'm looking at new since I live in a low population area and any place that might (if you're lucky) have used brakes is going to be at least 150 miles of driving. Part of me wants to spend the money on a 48" 16ga model...

I've been looking for a mobile solution to haul around a set of hand tools. I'm looking at this rolling packout box for sockets, wrenches, hammer, etc., with a few organizers on the lid for smaller stuff like pliers and screwdrivers. The packout is rated for 250 lbs, but I'm worried that over...

I'm looking for a set of torx and hex bit sockets to keep in my pickup tool set. The Williams 50681 set has the sizes I want and the price is in the realm of what I'm willing to pay. These will likely be seeing limited use, but I want something that will work when needed. Will these fit that...

Is anyone aware of a tool brand that offers a locking flex head ratchet that uses the same mechanism as the Carlyle 72 tooth locking flex heads? Like this one. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CHQR12LFQR?impressionRank=1&keywordInput=r12lfqr I know of the Powerbuilt Pro Tech and the Tone...

I have an application where a smaller 26" top box looks about right. The trouble is, it seems like most shallow 26" boxes are pretty low end. Not that a box that small needs to be heavily built, but I would like something that will hold up. Two options I've found is this box from Proto, but I...

I found a set of Snap-On standard duty torx bits for a price I'm willing to pay. However, reading back through old posts opinions on the standard duty bits seemed to be mixed. Some thought they were ok, while others had issues with them twisting off. Currently I am using VIM torx bits and Zephyr...

I recently bought a Williams W26TC4 toolsbox on sale, which as near as I can tell should be the same as a KRA4014. This should mean that I can buy some extra slides from Snap-On and double up the slides on the bottoms two drawers to increase their weight capacity(I think it goes from 75lbs to...

I haven't seen much chatter about these since some photos when they were first announced, which made me a little surprised to see them for sale at my local Runnings. I only played with them in the packaging since I wasn't excited enough to pay 43.99 for the set. Especially when they were in last...

I'm looking to fill some gaps in a couple sets of Heyco wrenches I got cheap. Armstrong satin finish wrenches at Cripe's seem to be about the right length and are cheap enough. My only question is, were the satin Armstrong wrenches any different or better than the satin Allen, Kobalt, KD, etc...

I see on Tekton's website they have their new socket sets listed. Sockets have larger size stampings and it looks like the deep sockets are a little different. Plus they now come with the 90 tooth ratchets. Price is a little higher, but it's probably worth it for including a better ratchet. You...

I'm thinking about ordering some Stahlwille wrenches and was considering buying from this place. https://www.misterworker.com/en-us/ I was curious if anyone has ever purchased from them and how it went. Mainly I want to know if they do a good job packaging shipments so that they survive the trip...

I'm putting together a small tool set kept in a hand carry box. I'm still deciding what to include for a screwdriver. I was going to use a Wera Vario, but I think now I want a bit holding screwdriver that holds spare bits in the handle. I'm thinking of going with a Williams Wrs-1 since I like...

While looking at 19mm Proto sockets on Zoro's website this morning, I noticed a new part number I wasn't familiar with. Plugging it into Proto's website brought up what they are calling an intermediate socket, which looks like a semi deep. I do not remember seeing these before and it looks like...

After having an angle wrench save me some trouble replacing a hydraulic line on a tractor I've been looking at tools to make that easier since I'm around a number of machines (farm equipment) that have hydraulic systems. Since I already have some angle wrenches and seeing what some of their...

I'm looking for a set of screwdrivers to keep in one of my vehicle kits. I found this set of Stanley 100 Plus Screwdrivers since it covers the sizes I want fairly well. I'm a little reluctant to buy them since I was under the impression Stanley is good for dropping the quality on their...

Do newly made SK 42472 flex head ratchets use a pin or a screw to retain the head to the handle? All the pictures show a pin, but they also show a pin for my SK 3/8 stubby flex ratchet which does have a screw, so I'm curious if SK's pictures might be out of date.

I was thinking about picking up a GearWrench 1/2 drive socket set, but looking through Zoro, some 1/2 drive sets are listed as being from Taiwan and some China. This kind of has me concerned since I can't really go to a store to check COO of a set in person and would be buying online. Are there...
