    Anyone out there liking their Martin Angle wrenches ? Been looking at these for years and now coughing up the dough to get my hands on them. I have the new Tekton USA angle wrenches and I’m getting the individual Martins as toppers since Tekton stops at 3/4” and 19mm. Here’s a pic of the new...

    Klutch impact universal extension set

    I just purchased this set so I wouldn't struggle so hard next time I ever have to access exhaust manifold bolts on my jeep. I've read a few reviews and no serious problems I've seen... and the price was right of course. Anyone here have any use case experience with them... good or bad ?

    Martin 3/8 drive 12pt Crowsfoot Sets

    Before I drop a lot of money Martin Crowsfoot sets I though I'd ask for some feedback from some of you that have used them. If there's more negative than positive, I'll look elsewhere. But, I'm looking at those so far because they're 12pt. I like that they're USA too... a bit of patriotism...

    Milwaukee 3/8 Impact Ratchet opinion

    Weekend Warrior Wrencher here on my Jeep Wrangler. Just replaced the rear main seal.. actually I'll admit that I had to do it twice before I was successful. Anyways, an impact ratchet would've came in handy on all of those oil pan and bearing cap brace bolts, as well as those 4 long...

    Who Makes Martin Adjustable Wrenches

    I've been putting together an assortment of tools for a road bag, and thought it'd be cool to throw a Martin Adjustable wrench in there since I really can't afford pretty much any of their other wrenches. Its a beautiful wrench and I got it from Ebay. But now I'm curious if all it is is a...

    Wilde Tools

    As most of you probably know... a lot of USA made tools from big brand name companies actually come from Wilde … which is great. They seem to make most of the USA made stuff for Tekton (pliers, chisels, punches, prybars, etc.), and for Craftsman as well. For those of you that don't know, you...

    SK Screwdrivers

    Who uses SK screwdrivers? Does SK make them or are they Western Forges or some other rebrand? Just curious. I like supporting SK and I like them green handles too, so i'll probably go ahead and order a couple sets. But I was just curious to hear some some thoughts on them from some of you...

    Stanley FatMax Linesman Pliers

    Lately I've been putting together a tool bag to keep in my Jeep and I've been paying attention to finding quality items that aren't tool truck brands. Regarding linesman pliers, I've really taken a liking to the Stanley Fatmax pliers with the built in wire stripper. They look, feel, and...

    What's your Favorite Chinese Tool?

    For all the talk about how ****** Chinese made tools are and how pissed off we are about U.S. companies moving manufacturing over there, there are some tools that I think actually perform just fine. I have a set of SAE and Metric Stanley 3/8" Drive 6-point Deeps that I use quite regularly...

    When/When not to- use Loctite vs. Anti-seize

    I'm sure this has been covered somewhere here in GJ already, but since I'm fairly new I'll start this again: I recently replace front and rear shocks/struts on both my '04 Jeep Rubicon and my wife's '11 Kia Sorento. I ended up breaking one of the rear upper shock retaining bolts on my jeep and...

    What makes Craftsman hand tools Inferior?

    Like the title says, what is it that makes the Craftsman brand "inferior" (as stated by a lot of GJ members) to other hand tools? Someone please say something besides pointing to Chinese manufacturing. Dies anyone have some fact-based data to support the inferiority claim? Are tools breaking...

    Thoughts on Craftsman coming to Lowes

    Who's excited to see Craftsman coming to Lowes this year? IMO it's an outstanding move and about _ _ _ _ time! Yeah it isn't the USA stuff we were used to from decades past, but a lot of things aren't. You never know, we may see SBD get some Craftsman USA out there. Either way, I think this...
