Title says it all. Just wanted to share my newest buy, Felo wooden screwdrivers. I look forward to putting them to work.

I've narrowed my choice to these two angle grinders. Looking for everyone to weigh in on what they think. 1) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-4-1-2-in-5-in-Grinder-Paddle-Switch-W-1-9-0Ah-Battery-Charger-48-59-1890PG/303014218 2)...

Yesterday I was helping out a friend at work and had to drill out the license plate screws that were seized beyond belief despite lots of penetrating oil and an extraction set that broke inside it. We used self taping screws which worked fine but I thought this would have been better if I...

Getting ready to change some spark plugs on a BMW M62 engine. Just wondering whats everyones favorite spark plug socket brand. I just have a random assortment of SK, Craftsman and no name ones with rubber inserts. Wondering if Hazet is worth the price.

I'm usually not a sucker for so called "limited quantity" sales but I have been in the market for a quality 1/2'' torque wrench anyway. I bought the HAZET 1/2'' torque wrench which will be my first nice torquing tool. For about $150 I feel its a good deal...

I'm in the process of restoring an old Columbian 603 swivel base bench vise and it could really use a new jack screw and swivel base lock. I had planned on buying new parts on www.viseparts.com but for some reason it is closed down. Does anyone know where another good source is for these parts?

Some time ago I was given an old Columbian 603 bench vise. It was in rough shape but its a vise so I took it. I began to disassemble it and clean it up. The spindle/handle were beat up and bent but it worked ok. The swivel base had one of the ears broken off that are used to mount it to a...

Yesterday I was offered the chance to buy an older Snap On tool box for $500. It is kra3800 and kra3810. As far as I know it is rust free and works fine. What does everyone think?

I'm in the market for a nice non china made vise and I ran across this on CL which is in my area for $75. Any thoughts? Should I buy it? Thanks. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/tls/5480652122.html Sean

I am tired of using a bad of craftsman hex keys and my hex sockets are good but I would like to have a set of T handle hex tools on my bench ready to go for quick jobs or tight access. I am debating between the Wiha set and Bohdhus. I love Wiha but the Bondhus look good to and are alot more...

Never heard of Eclipse, anyone have this set? It looks pretty nice. http://www.sears.com/eclipse-sk-42601m-pro-s-kit-26-piece-1-2/p-SPM6690479401?prdNo=12&blockNo=312&blockType=G312

So I noticed that all my extensions are a mix of **** (no name china) and good (SK, old craftsman). Now I want a matching set. Any suggestions for a good set and how much are the sets you like. Thoughts were SK or Snap On 3/8 to start and move on to 1/2'' finished by 1/4.

So I have a total of $75 in gift cards to Sears. I'm willing to pay up to a total of $150 for something cool. What tool should I buy? Front runners for me are a Knipex ratcheting pliers or a SK breaker bar (24 inch). Any suggestions welcome. Post links too.

Which Wiha screwdriver set should I buy?

So I'm going to pony up to a 3/8'' Snap On ratchet. The question is which one do I buy? Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.

Can I swap an old 1/4'' snap on ratchet internals for a newer dual 80 setup?

Just bought a Snap On T936 1/4'' ratchet. Can I buy the dual 80 repair kit and swap out the internals to get more teeth? http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/searchLN.asp?partno=RKRT72&searchTrnsfr=true&search_type=Part&store=snapon-store

So after finding out that the Craftsman profesional full polish wrenches are made in China (I hate you China!) I decided to look at other sets. I am considering the 11 piece SK metric right now. Also I might wait for the $99 deal that Snap-On will have in about 6 weeks and buy the 7 piece...
