    Let's see your toolbox.

    You guys are so lucky to have the us general boxes over there, the options in Australia are dismal, the snap on boxes are even made in china but still priced at the made in usa prices.

    Crowfoot + Ratchet / Breaker bar versus Actual Wrench?

    Depends what you’re working on. Some situations you can get away using either, some situations only a certain configuration will work I prefer a regular flare nut wrench, feels the most solid. If the job requires a breaker and crowfoot I always feel like the attachment at the anvil doesn’t...

    Looks Like It's Going to Be Another "Made in America" Failure to Me

    Working on gas infrastructure we get new tools provided by the company for every new project. Boss gives us the card and we go to the local tool shop and load up with what we’ll need. Tool shops in Australia really have a **** selection of hand tools so if Milwaukee brings these out down here...

    Does Gearwrench have an entry level quality?

    I think these were a failed experiment to see if anyone would notice the difference from their regular product line. There’s a reason these are only $99. The original ratcheting flexheads are still available at $300

    Tekton angle head wrenches usa made

    If you can’t figure out a use for them then you probably don’t need them, pretty obvious? They are very useful for machinery and pipe/flange work

    Tools of Japan

    Does anyone use koken regular or zeal sockets with snap on ratchets? Sounds like the regular should be ok and the zeal might have issues? Thinking about getting a full set of regular koken deep and shallow and a set of the shallow zeal if they fit ok with the snap on, not interested in...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Rudi's Datsun resto and late nights shed in Australia.

    Hey Rudi, car and garage are coming along great. Can I ask how you went about restoring those longchamps? I have the same wheels that unfortunately got spray painted when my car was stolen, have the car back now and had a quick clean up but definitely need a bit more work to look as good as...

    Below 265 SQ/FT Welcome to Purgatory: 3.6x3.4m (12x11') Workshop at my Parents' House in Australia

    Yeah has been recovered, been pretty thrashed but still driveable. Tyres on the rear and power steering pump destroyed from obvious high rev full lock burnouts and one side seems to have hit a pole pretty hard too. Worst part is they sprayed all the badges and the wheels black with cans without...

    Hammer Drill vs Regular Non-Hammer Drill

    I have all of them in m18. Had the same theory and bought the non hammer drill and the sds rotary hammer and probably could survive that way but sometimes the rotary hammer is just too bulky and the non hammer drill is just too light duty so I got the hammer drill and I’m set for whatever
