    Crescent Adjustable Wrenches dated 11/19 & 1/20 - Made in USA?

    I purchased 4 Made in USA Crescent Wrenches. The 4” has a 1/25/20 date and USA stamped on the handle while the 6”,8”, & 10” came in a set with a pouch and only state made in USA on the box they came in. Why are these stamped differently? Any idea on where these were produced? I thought WF...

    Tsunoda PW-DP200TG Combo & PW-SW200TG Flush Cutters

    Almost perfect, that center rivet to cutter distance is a bit too thick. It feels like it will take some effort to cut through bigger wire. Very good pricing for these. The combination pliers have a lateral tooth like Vampliers do. There’s also a separate hard wire cutter at the bottom from...

    Wilton 5” Bench Vice USA

    I recently was given a USA made Wilton 5” bench vice and I’m not sure what the numbers stamped on the bottom mean (121060)? Also, it needs a locking spindle that’s missing. Any suggestions on how to refurbish this properly? Thanks!

    3 Peaks Locking Pliers Made in Japan

    Came in from Amazon.jp and these are very nice! A very close 2nd place next to Malco. Probably going to be my preferred brand for locking pliers. Anyone else have experience with them?

    Western Forge 8” Slip Joint Pliers 5454

    Excuse me if this is a dumb question but what are these for? Looks like they hold a snap ring? And that cutter cut out looks like it can cut some thicker wire.

    Proto & AT&G driver set OEM manufacturer?

    I bought a NOS AT&G driver & bit set that is the exact same set as what is offered by Proto. So, I have some questions I was hoping you all can help answer. Not much on the internet in who AT&G was and the paper insert has a 1993 copyright. 1. What was AT&G Inc out if Alexa, Alabama and did...

    USA made lineman pliers: Is this market saturated?

    Channellock, Ideal, ProAmerica, Southwire, Klein, Proro, SK, Williams Tool, SnapOn and Milwaukee (maybe soon?). Am I missing any? Are any just rebrands? So many options and Im probably missing a few but we only have about 2-3 screwdriver manufacturers. Is this a bit much? Add in the overseas...

    Who makes hand tools for Ideal now?

    Since they killed off Western Forge, Pratt-Reed and sold off SK, did they keep any machinery to continue to make them in Sycamore, IL or have they begun outsourcing to the CCP as well? At Lowes I noticed there’s a mix of USA and Chinese made drivers and pliers of the same kind and I wonder if...

    Snowblowers: Craftsman, Ariens & Others Using 208cc Engine

    Not sure if this is the correct section of the forum to post this in but I need a new snowblower and noticed that new Craftsman, Ariens and others are using what appears to be a similar 208cc engine but it isn’t marked as Briggs & Stratton or Honda. Also, I believe these are ‘Made in USA with...

    NOS Irwin DeWitt Locking Pliers

    Does anyone know why Irwin didn’t stamp made in the USA on the USA made locking pliers? I just bought a 3 piece set and the package says made in the USA but not on the pliers themselves. Only way to know they are USA made is by the roll pin on the release lever.

    USA Made Fastener Bit Sets?

    I currently have Montana (USA), Wera, Vessel and Milwaukee tool driver bit sets and Im trying to look for another American made set that isn’t made by Montana or Snap On Zephyr. Aside from some NOS Craftsman, Vermont/Bosch I see on EBay, I don’t believe there are any. Question: Are there any...

    IKEA Pozidrive Screws - NOS Crescent USA vs Vessel

    Crescent handle is a bit too thin but the head has more of a tight fit than the Vessel. I believe these were made during Cooper tool ownership in the 90’s? Anyway, much better but the Vessel ball grip is obviously easier to turn. I’d buy more of these NOS Cooper tool drivers if I could.

    Peg Board Tool Organizers

    I’m debating on what I should hang and it’s actually making me overthink it. So, let me ask the brain trust, what tools do you keep on the board and what kind do you keep in a drawer?

    Ideal 9.5” Linesman Pliers 30-450 USA & Chinese Made

    When I was at Lowes, I noticed there was only 1 USA made plier left. The other plier with the same product number 30-450, thats made in China, looks identical the only difference is the packaging and costs $2 more. Due to the SK sale that probably Western Forge equipment, is Ideal now going...
