Not too long - some of the items posted here have been new to me and others I've known about. I believe the nature of the industry is simply saturated with great ideas/patents so new tech and drastic improvements are pretty rare these days. Thanks.

I was browsing Amazon in the tool section, and if you're a sucker for ratchets like I am, this may interest you. At first, I was just going to pass them over as a GearWrench clone, but then I took an extra few seconds to look at the images and noticed something pretty cool. This is not a GW...

Hello friends. For a short explanation, I guess this would be an invitation to post your favorite new tools of the past two years or so. I haven't been following the tool industry for a while now, so I was hoping there are some wrenchers here who are willing to inform me of (or link me to an...

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that company. I'll look into that a bit later today.

If this thread doesn't belong, my apologies, and please feel free to delete it. In my possession, I have a GearWrench 85238 1/2" 120XP™ E-Spec Electronic Torque Wrench 68-340Nm (GW Product Page). It's a relatively rare and extremely impressive torque wrench, and when I see it available for...

I wasn't aware of them to be honest. Time to investigate. My obsession has cost quite a bit. But my retirement dream is to buy some land in a relatively cheap state to live in, build a super nice private garage, and just be a place for car dudes to come around, hang out, and work on **** while...

Thank you sir.

I'm the crazy dude with some kind of sick need to collect all sockets possible. I posted my collection here a year or two ago if you're curious, but I've expanded greatly since then. Basically, if there's a fastener on something from the 20th and 21st centuries from 1/4" to 1/2" drive (from 3mm...

Old thread, but here's what I was able to find: https://archive.org/stream/MACToolsCatalogNo521952/MAC%20Tools%20Catalog%20No%2052%201952_djvu.txt

These links should have enough resolution once you expand the image. Also, hit the Control key and mouse scroll up to increase your browser zoom if needed. Let me know if that still doesn't work though. Sockets Listed by Type: https://imgur.com/WEExP7U Individual Sockets...

Hi there. Based on quick Google pricing, they would be out of my price range at the moment. I think I may own a set sometime in the future, but not now unfortunately. Also, I have somewhat comparable universal socket sets within the collection that sit SAE/Metric sizes at the same time, just not...

For anyone who is curious and participated in this thread, I've managed to get really solid deals and just about all of these were under $10 shipped (and even a free one thanks to Astro Pneumatic being freaking awesome). Thanks for all of your help! Astro Pneumatic custom forged 1.25" hex...

Ordered, thanks!

I definitely don't have that. I'll eventually get into the larger sized stuff if I ever get some land and a giant *** pickup truck and/or an industrial machine that would require larger drive sizes. But, that may never happen, and there's just too many 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sockets in the world...

Interested in selling them? I don't have too much disposable income at the moment due to the holidays (I buy my family a ton of gifts, as I truly prefer giving rather than receiving, despite my weird obsession with buying and therefore receiving tools and sockets). Let me know, thanks. Also, my...

Let me know if this helps at all. I have one more idea I can try if it doesn't. They all enhance with clarity on my end so I can't test the issue. Thanks! Sockets Listed by Type: https://imgur.com/WEExP7U Individual Sockets: https://imgur.com/QmK1brH Sockets by Drive: https://imgur.com/HNqYNy2...

Just in case some people are wondering, I also have notes on which complete sets I've purchased and wich individual sockets I've purchased to fill-in for some missing sizes. It isn't 100% up to date at the moment, but at least 95%. If any of you tool vendors want to share some love for my...

I have a Ribe set, thanks though. You guys are an awesome resource and share great info. I've introduced to more new sockets in the last few days than the last several months with your help. Does anyone find my collection habit "weird." I just like sockets damnit, and the more jobs I can get...

Purchased, thanks!. Via Google, this also led me to these two sockets, which I'll put on a future buy list, as they're a bit too expensive for the moment when I have ZERO potential applications for the foreseeable future (a different type of "strut")...

I really wish I had some recent photos. Unfortunately, I moved a couple years ago and everything is scattered in a climate controlled storage unit until I can spread my wings (tools) out again, hopefully sometime in the next few years. Not a very satisfying answer, I know. But on the other...
