    Tekton Customer Support

    Great to hear. I've had pleasant experience with Tekton as well. I got a stubby wrench set and got two 15mm's and was missing 16mm. Emailed them and got the 16mm a couple days later (with some Tekton stickers). I highly recommend their hybrid air hose that is made in USA. Price is even cheaper...

    DeWalt tool set at Costco

    I saw these at Costco. It seems to cover 1/4", 3,8" and 1/2" drives. 1/2" drive is not complete, and there are 6 pt and 12pt for 3/8" drive. Made in Taiwan. I don't need a set right now, but can't keep my eyes from it. That black and yellow contrast. What do you guys think? Sorry I was in a...

    Unhappy with Home Depot

    I recently had a good experience at HD. My dad bought some stuff, including a 3 pc locking pliers set, it was already dark outside and he forgot the set in the cart in the parking lot after loading all the other things The day after I took the receipt to the return/customer service and asked...

    Craftsman Premium Rubber Garden Hose

    I think Sears uses our search history/cache to manipulate the price. I used the same link that same day I made the post, and it showed both $20 and $35. You might have to log in as a SYW member and/or clear your cache/search history for it to show the "sale" price. Sent from my HTC One_M8...

    Craftsman Premium Rubber Garden Hose

    Many of you probably have already known about this, but for those who don't, this hose is worth giving it a try. I got tired of my old cheap hose that kept kinking, with or without water pressure inside. I wash my cars in the drive way, and reel the hose on to a wall mount after I'm done, and...

    My trunk tool bag saved me

    Yeah, the code says "misfire with fuel shutoff." I was just not sure how the engine would be affected overall if there was a misfire in one cylinder that went on for a while (60 miles). The Torque app is very useful. It has a recording feature where it'll capture data on certain parameters you...

    Portable Car Jump Starter

    I saw that too, and it's pre-order now for November delivery I think. To update, I bought the JNC300XL. It had no problem started my Honda 2.4L I4 by itself, with the battery disconnected. I tried the same thing on my BMW 4.4L V8 (battery disconnected) and it couldn't, which is expected. I...

    My trunk tool bag saved me

    I always fear that my car could break when I'm on the road, and I have everything but the tools to fix it. I started carrying a small tool bag with screwdrivers, 1/4 and 3/8 metric sockets, wrenches and some pliers. And an OBD2 bluetooth scanner. The day came yesterday when these tools saved...

    Thanks for sharing. I just got a set for $9 also. For that price it's hard to pass. It just went up to $16 as right now.

    Portable Car Jump Starter

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. There are good reviews about the NOCO, but mostly for the bigger versions, like GB40 and above. I'm extremely interested in the JNC300XL that was mentioned earlier due to specs, price, and brand name.

    Portable Car Jump Starter

    Hi guys, So I'm looking to buy portable jump starter to keep in my commuter in. It appears now there are two popular kinds of portable jump starter. The "traditional" kind, example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001U04NCA/ref=twister_B01BV6GSUW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 It's not clear what battery...

    scan tool for DIY'er which include ABS and Airbag

    +1 on the Autel MD802. It has been very handy in helping me troubleshoot my own car as well as others. So far it has been able to read everything I needed it to. Examples are: SRS (and light reset) on Porsche, read all modules on my 2001 BMW (it showed me the DME Auxilliary fan code that did...

    Flex Head vs Non Flex for Extra Long Ratchets

    Thank you all for the suggestions! I was going to make the HF ratchet but my local HF doesn't seem to have the double indexing ratchet in stock ever. So I got a 3/8 extra long Tekton and decided to try out a 3/8 flex head extra long Powerbuilt. Both Made in Taiwan. Chrome is flawless. Tekton...

    Flex Head vs Non Flex for Extra Long Ratchets

    That's actually more of a reason why I want one of these. The time when I wished I had an extra long 3/8" ratchet because my long one (12") would not clear the stuff, and no room to use an adapter with longer 18" 1/2" drive ratchet. And that was on a honda civic, fwd, in the belt area. It might...

    Flex Head vs Non Flex for Extra Long Ratchets

    Yeah, these situations that I think about probably don't happen that often. It was more for the 3/8" one. That day I needed to use a torx bit socket (3/8" drive, no room for adapter to 1/2" in drive), and my long flex head 3/8" did not have enough leverage, and I didn't have enough room to...

    Flex Head vs Non Flex for Extra Long Ratchets

    Hi guys, So there have been a few occasions where I wished I had an extra long ratchet (either 18 inch 3/8" or 24 inch 1/2"). I've been eyeing the Tekton extra long pair for a while now. However, I remember reading from someone here about non flex head ratchets like those Tektons will get in...
