I'm looking for suggestions on a tool bag but I can't seem to find a decent one at any of my stores locally. The only one I've found that I really liked was the MAC Tools Wheel Pro Bag (TB506) but its been out of stock and I've been on the wait list for it with my Mac guy for nearly a year now...

It looks like we just lost one of the daily topics of conversation on here. Project Farm rather definitively answered the question about which screwdriver brand is best. I was kind of impressed with how closely his results matched up with the general sentiment on here though. I think we all...

I was just at Canadian Tire and passed by the tool section to discover that they now carry Wera and Knipex. I saw a full set of Wera joker wrenches, screwdriver sets, a few ratchets including their hammer ratchet, a few different sets of metric sockets, and the toolcheck sets. The Knipex...

I was looking at purchasing a set of gearwrench spline drive wrenches but I was wondering if they're actually any good. They claim to work on pretty much any kind of fasteners which sets off alarm bells in my head. Plus they remind me of 12 point sockets which love to round over bolts. So does...

I have a 4 post lift which came with a jack tray and after having had the lift for 2 years now, I've never found a use for this tray beyond holding tools and things while I'm working. From what i understand they are meant to be used with a jack to lift up your vehicle but where are these...

Anyone know if Gearwrench has massively hiked the prices on their electronic torque wrenches recently? The 85196 (1/2) and 85195 (3/8). They still seem to be available for their old price but a lot of websites are now listing the old price as a 'sale' and a new regular price which is ~40%...

So a friend built some garage shelves recently and they were showing them off to me. And I suggested that they add some reinforcements to strengthen the structure. They mentioned that they had just been following tutorials online and everyone was building their shelving that way. So I googled...

So they finally revealed some information about their new mystery ratchet. Apparently it's folding...

An opportunity popped up for me to get ahold of a Snap On Verus for a few hundred dollars (~$400CAD). Its not running the latest update and is missing everything but the power cables and is a little rough around the edges but it appears to be in full working condition. I unfortunately know very...

I keep a bottle of insect repellent on my toolbox for the summers when mosquitoes invade. Anyways, I accidentally knocked it over and it leaked out onto my tool box. I didn't pay it much mind since it's just insect repellent... It stripped the paint better than any paint stripper I've ever used...

I've been looking around to replace my current toolboxes. I have two toolboxes - one has 5 drawers and the other has 3. I'm currently maybe 1 and a half drawers away from being out of space but I'd probably just dump my SAE stuff into a box and free up another drawer if it was an issue...

I keep hearing a lot of great things about Koken zeal sockets on this website but I haven't been able to find a source for them in Canada. I've seen some eBay listings and other sites like that but the prices seem way too high. Does anyone know where to get them?

I ran across these on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07GBZ9543/?tag=atomicindus04-20 I've never used them before and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this style of connector. Does it make a solid connection that actually holds up over time? They seem to most be being sold by...

Funny video I saw on youtube:

The question is in the title. What is WD-40 even good for? I know the standard answer their marketing team has drilled into people is "everything". But seriously. I've found it to be pretty bad at everything. Its not a good rust penetrant. I'd never use it to lubricate anything. Its a pretty...

Alright. I have the tekton 3/8" and 1/2" torque wrenches and they have failed to torque 5/6 bolts I've tried today. They either don't fit or their swing arc is too big to engage the teeth. I spent an hour trying to manually pre load the teeth, and then get the wrench in position but these things...

I came across this screwdriver and I thought I'd share it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1496249101/kinetic-driver Seems like a nice piece of tool bling for someone that has some money burning a hole in their wallet. Doesn't seem especially useful though.

I'm finally reaching the point where I have pretty much every tool (including a ton of specialty tools) but I'm realizing that just because I have the right tool for the job, it doesn't mean that it'll get the job done or it won't make my life miserable in the process. Right now I just have a...
