Have they got that good enough yet? Are they strong enough? Slim/small enough on the ratcheting end? I am redoing my mismatched sets of 6-24mm and 1/4-1" wrenches, and that got me thinking... My portable hand box doesn't have space for anything excess, so basic combo 12pt wrenches always...

Putting together a little portable 1/2" impact tool box and I need me some semi-deeps. Going with Tekton for 8-24mm in shallow and deep and want approximately the same coverage. I know sets usually start at 10mm and I'm fine with that, at least that's what I tell myself. I picked Tekton for...

I've been nothing but happy with my sets of Taiwan Sunex 3/8" impact sockets and have been meaning to pick up their 1/2" counterparts in 10-36mm both shallow and deep. But I now see they have switched over to manufacturing in China? I don't want Chinese impact sockets. Is it worth tracking...

I want a to put the steel tip from an HSPD16 onto a HBPT16 as I like the choking up feature of the handle and I need both a steel tip and a plastic tip, and I don't want to carry two hammers. So I was thinking of buying a beat up HSPD16 and putting it's steel tip onto a HBPT16. Problem is, I...

I used to buy them at JB Tools for $12 each and got a $10 discount code and free shipping with enough of a minimum order. Need a bunch more now. Can't really find them anywhere that I know of now for less than $19 to $20 each. Where you guys buying your Ernst rails from nowadays? I...

I'm looking at the Snap-on PIT120 and Koken Attack Driver 3112N 3/8" impact drivers. Am able to get each of them for about the same price. I know everyone loves the Koken Attack Drivers for their value, but are they superior in performance to the Snap-on? Supposdely the Koken needs a lot less...

I'm looking at the Snap-on E-Torx set that includes E4, E5, E6, E6, E8, E10, E11, E12, E14, E16, E18, E20, and E24. But no E22... Then came across this wiki page which makes it look like E22 doesn't exist. But then noticed Tekton sells a 1/2" set with E22... What's going on here? Has anyone...

I'm looking to re-do all my metric 3/8" chrome hand sockets and want a set of semi-deep to go along with shallow and deep sockets. I was initially thinking of going with Williams USA for the shallow and deeps and then pony-ing up for Snap-on on the semi-deeps (since they're supposedly and...

I'm looking to purchase a Proto J1200R-MASD wrench set. I had a much cheaper Wright set on order but it seems to be backordered, and the longer length of the Protos will probably work better for my anyway. My go to is usually Zoro with a coupon, but their price on this set seems a tad high...

I want to upgrade my Punch/Chisel set. I'm going to buy once cry once. Who makes a better Punch/Chisel set? Mayhew or Snap-on? I'm talking about Mayhew's premium 150 line, not their regular line. I can get my hands on a barely used Snap-on set for about the same price as the Mayhew Pro 150...

I'm looking to upgrade my 6", 8", 10", and 12" adjustable wrenches and would like to get my hands on those good old ones made by Western Forge. So naturally, I decided to go with Proto. This was always my plan, decided a millenia ago, I never got around to it. I recently however learned that...

I'm tired of pulling my back every time I need to take a small fully loaded 19" portable tool box out of my trunk because it only has on handle on top. This is a problem that can reather easily be fixed. I do try to wiggle my fingers underneath both sides and lift the box that way when I can...

I've recently moved into an apartment and have had to use my portable 19" "junkyard" box that I put together in my teens for a few major jobs. Basically it *****, and I really wish I could use my home box in a garage, but the reality is I can't, for now... So out in the rain in a dark parking...

Getting my ratchets in order, have settled on going with Gearwrench, I think... Are the new 90 teeth ratchets as much loved as the now discontinued 84 teeth? Are they an improvement? Or should I buy the 84T ones while I still have access to them? I know most hate the 120T ones, I also could...

I'm after an adjustable temp heat gun. Am having trouble decided between these two. They can be found similarly in price. It seems the HT3500 is the tried and trued gun which has been rebranded and sold many times over, and still in production. The HT4500 goes to a lower temperature and has...

I'm often in need of casters and don't know where to start. Seems there are a bunch of caster companies with wildly varying prices. Right now I'm in need of 4 casters with a 3/4" threaded stem. Around 2500lb capacity each minimum would be nice. Can go down to around 1000lb capacity each if that...

It's 24" wide by 48" deep, has rough in for placing electrical outlets. Yes it's on it's side. Seller went AWOL on me, really like the design and quality. If anyone knows the company that made these, or another company that makes a similar designed heavy duty bolt together bench please let me...

I'm building a light duty small 5x8ish trailer and need low ground clearance and independent suspension. It will be constructed out of square tubing and start it's life as an open deck trailer. Will upgrade it to enclosed in the future continuing with a square tubing frame. The more I search...

Older posts I've found in regards to older Milwaukee hammer capable drill models indicated the hammer capable versions have more run out. Is this still the case? Need a drill, looking to add to my M12 setup. These two models look almost identical (2503 vs 2504, see below). They both have the...

I'm in need of an automatic centre punch and it seems Starrett reigns supreme. I know Rennsteig is also a well liked option but I like Starrett's for factor for use in tight spaces. Will be using the punch for automotive purposes: plastic, sheet metal (body panels), aluminum, and steel. Also...
