    Snap-On screwdriver quality vs the others

    I like the Tekton "alien phallus" drivers for the run of the mill. That funky handle really allows you to get some serious grip with them, even with dirty hands. My precision drivers are Wera.

    Is this Husky 46'' box worth it?

    I have owned a couple of the 46" x 18" black Husky's 2 of the 24" models. Never had any issues from any of them besides the last one had dent in the exact same spot as the picture you posted. Years ago, when I bought my first in 2017, I think the price was 229 for a new one pre sales tax, and...

    Vessel Impacta Question

    The old style definitely has some heft to them, but they work great.

    Spark plug rethreaders

    A few months ago, somehow my sisters Honda minivan chucked one out. There wasn't any damage to the threads, so I assume it wasn't tightened properly for quite some time.

    Whats your favorite vintage rachet?

    The flex head third from the left on the bottom is my favorite vintage ratchet. Pretty sure it's an Industro. I'm fond of the Tuff 1 ratchets also. The Armstrong ratchet on the far right, it could be a self defense weapon.

    I'll take "A" for 500 Alex, because of the two fillet joints.

    AMZCNC Hydraulic Crimping Tool and Cable Cutter

    You can put the pump against your body/object and operate the handle one handed with ease. I made a few crimps this way myself so I had a free hand to hold the 2/0 wire.

    AMZCNC Hydraulic Crimping Tool and Cable Cutter

    I picked up this hydraulic crimper in early 2022. Well, I finally got around to using it last November doing a car audio installation with an upgraded 370 amp alternator. I have used a hammer style crimper in the past, and this tool is truly underrated, especially for the price. The cutters are...

    Backhoe attachment on a skid steer?

    Those used to be standard equipment for concrete companies near me. Most often Bobcats with diggers that have the seats on them. I've never used one, but instead ran around with a grade stick while digging footers. When they double teamed a footer with two machines and only one of me, they would...

    Gearwrench or tone rachet?

    I had the Powerbuilt 200 piece master mechanics service tool set close to six years now that I keep at my apartment for small jobs. They have the XT90 ratchets included, but the tools have held up well. I wouldn't be afraid to give the Tone look a likes a try.

    Gearwrench or tone rachet?

    I have several different Gearwrench ratches, and a single Tone ratchet in the link below. The Tone has never gave me an issue, but I have had a couple GW ratchets lock up on me including a 120XP and a 90. Never had an issue from a 84 tooth ratchet though. The only downside of the Tone is the...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    The 1/2" inch and the stubby are the the true stars of that set. I had a 5ft cheater pipe on my 1/2" and it took the abuse. And of course; the stubby is a lifesaver when you need it. Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    Torque Wrench for Service Truck

    I have the PI torque wrench posted above. Used it everyday for two years and is still in calibration. Now my SnapOn Techangle is a different story even though it is only used bi weekly or so in the garage Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    Snobbish tools mystery buster

    Very well said. I have been using a Gearwrench 120XP half inch drive flexhead at work for the last year. It has never failed to do anything that the equivalent Snap On at home in the garage does, besides the fact that if I leave the Snap On laying around in the garage, it stays put. Big...

    Allen wrenches that aren't garbage?

    I like the bondhus briteguard allen wrenches personally. When you drop one, you can actually find it. I have a set of hf ones in my work toolbag also. Havent had any problems with them, but if I drop one in the belly of an injection molding machine while changing out the end of arm tool on...

    SK X-Frame Metric Wrench Set

    Dont be tempted to use your new xframes on brake bleeders. The fluid will wreck the racheting mechanism. I managed to kill two 10mm wrenches before the light in my brain came on as to why. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk
