    Socket construction

    It looks like some sockets have a pressed in ring / collar and some are just cut from a single piece. Am I seeing this right? There are often little cracks on the pressed-in part, especially in cheaper sockets. Anyone know about this feature? The pic is a Husky at top and a more expensive...

    Who makes this wrench from Japan?

    I just noticed I had this lonely wrench, no idea how I have it amongst all the Huskys. Can anyone ID the brand?

    Ryobi chop saw

    I've had this 14" chop saw for 20 years now and love the thing. But I want to support work pieces from both sides, like when I need a short section of rod or something and don't want it to go flying. Is there an easy way to support stuff like this from both sides of the cut? (I can't bring...

    Classifieds section with location filter?

    Is there any way to put a location sort-by in the filter section in classifieds? Or have it show distance info somehow? It would be really really great to know what's within 50 miles of me.

    Looking for a suspension bushing tool

    I've been looking for is a set of thin push/pull plates with a bit of a lip around the edge to help center. Anyone know where to source something like this from? I've been looking on and off for a year now and not getting anywhere. Something like in the pic but with a lip, and a small center hole.

    Bronze ratchet

    I bought a tool that I likely will not use for a while but I could not resist the price, I think someone missed off one of the digits since another seller wanted $330 for this. It's an interesting contraption - there is no switch for on/off. And the cogs are 30-degrees a click, I assume because...

    Brass hammer ID

    Hi! Can anyone identify the logo on this hammer? I got it as a freebie along with another brass hammer, but I use it more than anything else because of its smaller size - I do some work on small engines. Thanks!

    Socket failure torques

    Hello all - I'm building up the equipment for a study of the torque strengths of different brands of non-impact sockets. I've looked on YT for something but all I could find was either stuff about ratchet wrenches, or some idiotic videos that didn't actually succeed in the test. I didn't find...

    How to reach 180 degrees down on a bolt?

    Greetings - I have to undo a couple of bolts that are pointing directly upwards (its an egr pipe off a lexus exhaust), but the only access point is from right underneath and with very little room. Are there any tools that can do that angle? I thought of a flex head ratchet turned 180, but at...

    Bits for hand drilling hardened steel

    Greetings. I'm looking for a set of drill bits for drilling out tough bolts, such as hardened exhaust studs. (Even with my favorite dewalt HSS drill bits I often have a really bad time getting anywhere.) I've read a few sparse comments about solid carbide bits being great but I never used...

    Why buy 12-point sockets?

    Greetings. Who would ever risk rounding over a nut or bolt by using a 12 pointer? A ratchet no different with 6 or 12 is it? Anyone buy 12 pointer here? (I know there are some 12-point bolts, but they are pretty rare.)

    Snap-on torx bits replaceable?

    Greetings. I see that snap-on sells sockets with pressed in hex and torx bits, and also the straight-up bits ($10 each) separately. Are these user-replaceable parts for the sockets, using a shop press?

    Higher torque wrench alternative?

    Greetings. First post here! I need to torque a crank pulley bolt to 285 ft-lb, and don't want to shell out big bucks on a 0-600 ft-lb wrench. Tried autozone, no luck. So is there a way to accurately double-up the torque from a 200-lb wrench? If the right answer is that it just don't matter...
