Today's Torque Test Channel's vides features Icon G2 ratchets vs Snap On ratchets. TTC shows that the G2 ratchet is stronger than the Snap On (It takes more torque to break the drive square on the G2 compared to the Snap On). To me this shows the extremely good value that Icon ratchets are. They...

I picked up an Armstrong ratcheting wrench set in great condition but the 10mm is broken. It was improperly machined moving box end keeps falling out under light use and there is no fixing it. I have been unable to locate a replacement Armstrong 10mm so I decided to get a Gearwrench 90t as a...

I picked these up a few weeks ago and thought I should share. I didn't need these but I liked they way looked and thought they might be handy so I picked them up. Its 10mm-19mm skipping 15, 16, and 18mm. I think I can live without the 16mm and 18mm but I would like to get the 15mm. I know that...

Just browsing Amazon today and came across these reversible flex head ratchet wrenches. My friend bought the non-flex version a while back and the ratcheting action is very smooth. I’m not fond of black / black oxide tools so I hope they eventually offer a regular chrome version. I had been...

I've always debated getting a nut driver set but I seldom have need for one. I made do with a 1/4 spinner handle but I never liked that the socket could get knocked off and fall in to an engine bay. I'm aware of the MAC and Stahlwille locking spinner handle but I don't like their handle shapes...

I've bought some Hypertough socket holders in the past from the Walmart. They seemed good, no complaints here. I went back recently to pick up some more and noticed there weren't as many socket studs as before. I compared them to my older set and there are only 10 studs now instead of 12. Also...

Was looking up info on dual pawl ratchets and came across this video on Gedore ratchets. It has a center position that lets both pawls engage, locking the ratchet and making it act like a breaker bar. Handy feature when trying to work a bolt loose. I like the low backdrag on ratchets with this...

I've been shopping around for a new ratcheting wrench set. I currently have a Gearwrench capstop set that skips some metric sizes. Nothing wrong with them but I was just looking around. I saw on Amazon a Starwork brand, Taiwan made long pattern, 6 point ratcheting set, SAE and Metric no skip...

I was comparison shopping some ratchets on NAPA's website tonight, just because, and I noticed many items on sale. Seems like prices are down to something reasonable for many items so I thought I might mention it here. For example, a 3/8 flex head ratchet, most people would buy a Pittsburgh...

Just browsing for some used tools tonight and I saw these Matco long reach needle nose that reminded me of the ICON version I bought a while back. The tip is a bit short and that's what drew my attention. I compared them side by side and the tips, the pivot, and the handle shape look identical...

I've been collecting double box end wrenches recently and noticed Matco had a style with one ratcheting end. This seems brilliant to me, break the fastener with one end and ratchet with the other end. This should be more common. I am aware of the Gearwrench Gearbox XL series and similar clones...

I've been interested in getting a mini universal bender for some small projects I'd like to do at home. There aren't many youtube reviews on these but I did find a couple for the Almhs version of the bender. The review calls out issues with the bender like sloppy tolerances but also some...

Hello all, I've been trying to get a hold of SBD version of the old Craftsman RP ratchet at Lowes because I have a few USA made ones that I would like to warranty out for the same style. I understand Lowes will warranty it out if its the same part number, however, the Lowes in my area have been...
