A friend of mine was given an Allen 13900 3/4 ratchet with absolutely no internals. It is my understanding that these ratchets are no longer being produced, but I might be able to find a rebuild kit on eBay if I know the part number. I could just get him a new ratchet from Tekton for about...

So this Felo Impact 19 SQ Bit Set in Box - PH/SQ/TX arrived today. https://www.kctool.com/felo-impact-19-sq-bit-set-in-box-ph-sq-tx-19-pieces/ The first thing that I did was grab the tiny T10 and I tried to put it into the "Felo Impact Bit Holder". So brand new out of the box I could not...

Years ago I owned an Non-Contact Voltage Detector shaped vaguely like a pen that you can stick into an electrical outlet and it would make noise if it sensed voltage. The point of interest with this particular unit was that it could support its own weight and stay in the outlet. It was my first...

I noticed that I had significant localized rust on my table saw table in my house. This is almost directly below an inline water filter, so I assumed that it was leaking so I swapped it out and I cleaned up the rust. Water kept showing up so I started looking for the leak. It turns out that I...

I purchased proto sockets sets that came with rails. The rails were not assembled. And I have to say I spent time trying to figure out how I should assemble them. I spent way more time than I should have, before I realized what tool would spread those socket holders so I could stick them onto...

I purchased a few proto socket sets and one socket in the set has four holes drilled in it in the base all the way through 90° apart The socket on the left is the 22 mm and the socket on the right is the 21 mm. The part numbers look okay but clearly these things are labeled differently...

On a whim, I purchased a Knipex 16-20-50 Folding Knife, which claims to be am electricians knife. I have a few questions. https://a.co/d/dMqNFTu Is the blade straight? I expected it to be straight but it is very slightly concave. I prefer it slightly concave just did not expect that. I don't...

I had a need (okay a desire) for a complete set of wrenches that were a little on the larger side. At least from what I normally use. I decided I would dip my toe in the water with wright wrenches by getting their 915 set with their grip 2.0 design. When they arrived, my first thought was holy...

One of the members here was sad that he missed the secret santel so I messaged this individual privately and offered to send him a Merry Christmas present. The member died Sunday and his wife reached out to me. I need to go back through my messages to remind myself what his username is here...

It was recommended that I try the Snap On 96ACF (Talon Grip Needle Nose Pliers) because they make the best, so, I got a pair. The handle is very comfortable and the fit is excellent, but they are very tight. When I say very tight, I mean that I am able to operate them with one hand, but my hand...

I wanted something small to carry around mostly geared towards taking apart pocket knives. I purchased two different packaging of the SteinWhale Stubby Mini Screwdriver. These handles are not all that great, but, they are very compact. These cost roughly $10 each. I really wanted T6 so I...

I recently was told the following: JIS is a defunct industrial standard. Modern Philips bits conform to a newer DIN/ISO standard that mandates a profile that works in older JIS as well as SAE Philips. Anything produced after 2008 that claims to be JIS is actually conforming to the new DIN/ISO...

I found a few postings related to picks here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/new-tekton-hook-pick-pouch.533679/ https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/snap-on-full-size-vs-mini-pick-set.537911/ https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/tekton-9-piece-blunt-pick-set.537529/...

I decided that I wanted to review some of my bitsets. Sometimes it is difficult to understand and compare what bits are included with which set. I will post more to this thread as I get around to reviewing the different sets that I own. I do not mean to spend time discussing LibreOffice (LO)...

I think this is a Kennedy tool chest. My grandfather's name is on the front of the chest, we differ a name by middle name He was a tool and die maker Let's see if I can add a picture, I can have trouble on doing it by phone How else can I tell if this is Kennedy? I assume that the stickers...

I have a sk no skip socket set that has 1/4 3/8 and 1/2-in ratchets and I was thinking about buying the USA, made ratchets and dropping it into the set. Most of the reviews I see for the USA made pear-shaped sockets say that the switching mechanism has a tendency to get stuck. Has anyone had...
