I need to thin my tool herd and sell a few items. I have an all-American made 1/2" Drive Proto Torque Wrench, Model 6016. 30-150 ft-lbs 45-200 Nm. It is in excellent condition, no engraving, kept in a tool cabinet in a heated garage (not bouncing around in a service truck). It's about $200 at...

Any recommendations on an adapter for an impact wrench with a 1/2" anvil to be able to use 1/4" hex impact bits? For example, to drive GRK screws.

I realize that title sounds like a complaint, but it's really an opportunity. This came up in another thread but I wanted to ask the broader group. I've noticed that there are huge price differences at various website, even with the various Amazon country sites. I looked at Amazon Germany...

I'm looking for a new small home compressor. Filling tires, etc. plus some residential nail gun use. This is for home use rather than pro use. No continuous-use tools like sanders, air wrenches, sandblasters, etc. I can do the heavy stuff elsewhere. Is anyone familiar with the California...

Flat, phillips, pozi, Hex, torx, tamper proof torx, square, yadda, yadda. I have a lot of bits. I'm looking for a good box to store them. Anyone know of a good one? Here's what I want: Access. The two I have hold the bits snugly in plastic or rubber. This might make it hard for them to...

I'm a weekend mechanic so here's a question to all of you who know far more than me. I remember Gearwrench as they guys who brought us the ratcheting wrench, or at least popularized them. Fast forward several years and Gearwrench has a whole catalog of tools. Good for them. My question is...

I think most agree that manufacturers in China have made some really poor-quality tools. Certainly not everything is ****, though. What tools have you owned or used that were made in China and high quality? I don't want to turn this into rant-fest. We all know about the tools that are...

Has anyone tested the strength of ratcheting wrenches? I don't use them to break loose the fastener because I don't think that they could take a lot of torque. The various brands are probably similar in the force they can take before breaking. It seems that all the ratcheting wrenches are...

Hello, I'm a newbie but I've lurked on the board for a while. I saw what might be a smokin' deal on Beta tools and it prompted me to make my first post. A friend sent me an Italian flyer he saw for a promotional deal on Beta socket sets...
