What kind of pliers do you use? I might pick up some 90deg needle nose ones. I got it once before with regular needle noses.

Luckily, I found it! Didn't expect that. And yeah, these things are a massive pain...from now on I'll probably just do an ATF soak every now and then.

That'd be great if you did....I'll buy it from ya.

I was just lubing up the ratchet and then went to put the snap ring back on, heard a ping and the snap ring is forever lost. :lol: What size snap ring do I need? Thanks!!

Very interesting. I'm kicking around the idea of getting a powerful electric impact instead of rebuilding the battery on my Craftsman C3 one again.

Thanks guys! I should've been more specific...I don't need impact ones. Price point wise, I think I'd be more in the Tekton, Gearwrench range, as much as I'd like to have the SK set.

Bought a metric 1/2" deep well socket set from HF last year and have been very pleased with it other than it does not go past 19mm. Does anyone make a "large size" set that would go from 21mm to 27mm? I know I could piece it together, but figured maybe someone makes a set that would save $$$...

Once I had dropped an SK socket into the engine bay of my Jeep, figured it was gone. A week later I had to take the engine skid plate off for something and I found it laying in there. Had driven about 500 miles in that week through all kinds of weather and it was still there!

Is SK going to continue making the round heads?

Walmart sells Dickies, are those the same quality as normal Dickies? I don't have a job that requires them at all but thinking it could be good enough for the weekend warrior wrenching I do once I ruin the rest of my "****** clothes" I currently use for working.

Man I want one so bad. IDK why but I have a soft spot for SK.

https://lacrosse.craigslist.org/tls/6192455816.html Is this worth $20? Thinking it could be a good one to use as a portable one to keep in a vehicle. Thanks!

x2. Gearwrench would likely be easier to warranty (if the Matco driver would get ****** if you didn't buy from him).

My most recent Gearwrench stuff (past year) has been China. Set of SAE and Metric racheting combos, non racheting metric wrench set, wobble extensions, metric flare nut wrench set.

I'd hit up garage sales if I had the time to build up to it.

LMFAO good one!:lol: Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I'll get them either the Felcos (F-5s or F-4s) or Coronas.

(Asking this for my mom and dad) They need a new set of hand pruners...anyone have a favorite pair? Willing to pay for quality. Can't find anything at Menards but haven't checked anywhere else yet. USA made is a bonus. Thanks!

I've never had a "nice" one so I've rarely ever used one. I could get convinced to get a good one though.

Thanks for the tips on taking the SK apart, I did the lazy man's fix, an ATF soak. That and a dab of Superlube and it works perfectly.

Thanks guys! The 1/4" drive is smooth and feels like new. The 3/8" sometimes doesn't want to switch directions or freewheels. Soaking the guts from it in ATF now.
