So I stumbled on an add on eBay for USA made gearwrench universal sockets. Thought at first it was a typo but the package clearly shows “made in USA”. After researching the part number I can’t seem to find much on it other than from back in 2014. A few of the sizes show up on gearwrenchs website...

Trying to figure out if this indeed what I think it is before I pull the trigger on buying. I’ve scoured the internet to try and find a similar style puller but can’t seem to find anything. To me it looks like a pitman arm puller for Sheppard steering boxes on the Volvo’s and paccars I work on...

Call me stupid but is there a trick/tool to remove the nut holding the anvil in the head of this thing? I can’t seem to get any good leverage without slipping. I do routinely disassemble my impacts to clean up and remove old grease and apply new but this one is giving me some trouble as this is...

So I was pretty excited to see snap on add some (non Bahco rebranded) flush cuts to their lineup. But man did I damn near fall out of my chair when I heard what they were asking for a pair. So it got me to thinking, I have a spare pair of older 87CF diags, so a little bit of grinding I achieved...

So last week I ordered a service cart and originally had it shipped to my house but seeing as I live in an apartment I didn’t think that through, so gave them a call and asked for them to ship to the nearest DC and hold it for me to pick up there. I did this on Monday. I received an email...

Always eyeballed the vampliers in the tool trucks but refused to pay the price they were asking for a 4 piece set. Cheapest I was able to find was eBay, 196 for 6 piece set. Stumbled on engineer via a YouTube video and ended up buying the whole set from amazon japan for about 100 shipped. Figure...

So I own both the cornwell and Matco prybar sets and mainly picked up the Matco set as for me they felt more comfortable in the hand. I was under the impression they were both made by Mayhew so wasn’t worried about quality. However comparing the 2 I’m wondering if they are actually the same oem...

Today I was just flipping through the new cornwell catalogue and a coworker of mine asked how they stack up to craftsman. When I explained they don’t actually make tools he looked at me like I just told him Santa clause doesn’t exist. I noticed a lot of the uninformed older guys boast about...

My recent sk haul. SAE long panel 1/4-1 1/4” set, 9-32mm standard set, 22 craftsman professional k code stubbies 10-22mm and 3/8-1”. Missing a few sizes here and there but for the most part pretty complete. Very happy overal

This month I’ve been picking up a lot of secondhand tools as the deals come. 1 habit I have when getting airtools is taking them apart and inspecting the wear of vanes, rotors, hammers, bearings, etc. my most recent being a 2145qimax 3/4 impact that looked too good to be true in the pictures...

So last week I learned about amazon.de thanks to this forum and thought I’d share my latest purchase. Unfortunately it was a single item otherwise I’d share a link. But picked up a 6 piece set of the Maxxpro screwdrivers for 23 shipped! I’m still waiting on my knipex order from last week but I...

So I will start off by saying I have absolutely no experience with the tool truck industry other than them showing up weekly at my work and the horror stories you read with even just a little research. However, it’s been just that, stories. Until I’m currently seeing it first hand how their...

Nothing against the quality as I will most definitely be picking them up if I can’t find anything made in USA that’s comparable. But looking at the knipex 00-20-04 sb 8 piece set I love that everything is fixed. No bothering with flipping the screw around, no set screws holding the bits in etc...

Currently have long pattern SAE, and to complete the set I have been eyeballing the long pattern metric set. However I already have long Matco ratcheting metric wrenches, and the standard sk set has more wrenches for a little cheaper (15 vs 13) so should I just pull the trigger on standard...

Seems to be happening more and more lately when I scour the used tool market on eBay. Most recently jumping on a couple of large size sk and Proto wrenches for less than 30 bucks. Guy canceled the order for “lack of inventory”. Last week I bought some near mint cornwell striking prybars for 50...

Looking for a new set of adjustable wrenches to replace my old worn out ones. Mostly some old bluepoint USA, superjustables, and black hawks. Was eyeballing the 4 pcs Williams 13642a set as its relatively cheap and was under the impression of still being USA made. After going to snap-ons site...

I’m trying to decide what makes more sense. I’ve been eyeballing the sk long panel wrenches for a week or so as I’ve been wanting a quality USA set. I used to own the raised panel craftsman professional wrenches that were made by sk and if it wasn’t for the skipped sizes and not being able to...
