I'm looking to purchase a 1/2" deep metric socket set. This is one area my sockets are lacking. I would like a set that covers the range of +/- 10mm to 24mm. I am focusing on Tekton and Icon at the moment. They are both around $50. I'm not looking for any tool truck brands and I don't have...

I was in the Norwalk, CT store last week and there was a display and reps from Milwaukee. They were promoting Milwaukee mechanics hand tools. The rep told me that they are competing with GW to get shelf space nationwide. Apparently each company has 25 stores to set up their display and sell...

I have a Craftsman 47144 WF Z ratcheting screwdriver. I've had it for at least 6 or 7 years. I got it as a trade in for an older craftsman ratcheting screwdriver. My coworker saw it and likes it but sears no longer sells it. Amazon has it but I'm curious if anyone knows of another brand that has...

So I've been searching for this fastener for a few hours. Beyond google, I've checked hafele, mcmaster, hardwarehut, fastenal, and a few others. I came up with nothing. Of course HD/lowes don't have it. I've found something slightly thicker that may work, but I'm not giving up on finding the...

I just got a new to me 2014 ram 1500 crew cab. It came with the soft tonneau cover. I typically carry a breaker bar, small socket set, tire kit, how straps, ratcheting the down straps, a blanket, tape measure, air pressure gauge, a few other things I can't seem think of right now. My question...

Necessary info: I'm a DIYer, not looking for speed, but I like to know when something isn't back where it belongs when I complete a task. So I've recently purged and upgraded expanded my ratchets. I previously had them somewhat shadowed but I now have a larger drawer and new ratchets thanks to...

Does anyone know of a list of Napa stores that actually have a Carlyle display? More for curiosity, but I like to get my hands on a tool before buying whenever I can. I've gone through the Carlyle posts here and look like they make some good stuff for the home mechanic. I've searched the Napa...

Amazon has a deal on these screwdrivers for $50. What's the verdict on GW screwdrivers? I'm due to replace some/all of my CMAN USA clear handles after 20 years of home use. I had my eyes on a Proto set but that's an 8 piece for $80. I can't justify truck brands not being a pro, but I like to get...

I just did the upper control arm and lower ball joints on my 07 Avalanche. I've got a problem getting my torque wrench onto the upper ball joint to torque it to spec. I've searched everywhere (I can get one tomorrow via Amazon) and I called my local Napa because a carlyle one is on their...

I inherited this socket from my great uncle who was a mechanic and WWII vet. I found the date code chart and the date code on the socket. My only problem is that the g code on the socket doesn't match the g code on the chart. Am I missing something? I know this is a drag link socket, but I...

Mods, please move this if i'm in the wrong spot: Hello All, I thought there was an astro tools rep on this forum, If anyone knows who that is specifically, can you direct them to this thread? I have some questions regarding their ball joint service sets and their website appears to be down...

So I'm in the market for a compact 3/8" impact wrench. I'm looking to top out at the $100 mark. I'm a professional woodworker, just a diy mechanic so most of my mechanics tools are older cman usa/husky/etc. I can't justify the cost of tool truck brands. I've got some work planned for my...
