    Getting tired of Hansen socket organizers. Westling looks tempting. Any Westling users here?

    I've had mine at work for close to 5 years now. I've even taken them on trips in a very bumpy truck and have never had any socket jostle out of the pegs.

    No Icon Adjustable Wrench?

    I've got a set of the flank drive snap on ones and they're extremely well made and nice. Not really worth the high price tag but I use them enough that I got tired of my old ones slipping and getting my knuckles

    Lisle.....Are you a fan?

    I have a lot of their no slip filter wrenches and they're awesome! I've not found anything close to them and theyve removed every single filter that's been practically welded on lol.

    Milwaukee 2105 Flashlight Issues

    I'd get something by stream light. Mine has dropped from 6 feet multiple times and has been dropped in mop buckets. It still works fine 7 years later with daily use lol 🤣

    Duracell = DuraLeak?

    I've had them leak regardless of where they are purchased. Been done with Duracell for some time now and use rechargeable Lithium AA AAA now.

    SK made in US x-frame wrenches worth it?

    They were very nice when I had them, but after warranting the 10mm ratchet 4 times I sold off my set. The last time they wanted me to pay for shipping to and back.

    Milwaukee Fails

    Their 1 inch impact with the extended anvil ***** ***. I can't remove overtightened lug nuts with it with a 12.0 battery and have to resort to using the beat up old shop 1 inch impact gatling gun. It always takes them off with no issues.

    Broken snap-on hand tools

    I just tried to warranty my Snap On ratchet that I purchased four years ago through Mcmaster-Carr. Even with the invoice they were unable to help me and referred me back to Mcmaster for warranty. Mcmaster however switched suppliers at some point and they sent me a Matco ratchet instead. Not too...

    The Lisle factory

    Their oil filter wrenches have quite the grip and I love using them so much! They may not be flashy or even well finished at times, but their tools are quality and work well for the task at hand.

    I need to upgrade my punches and chisels.

    I bought Dasco pro punches from HD a year ago and I couldn't believe how crappy they were. The tapered punch looked like a prisoner tried making a homemade shiv and the chisels deformed easily. Returned them for a refund and bought a good set of Mayhew punches for home and work use.

    Hearing Protection

    The best ones that I've used are 3M peltor earbuds with skull screw tips. Very comfortable and last all day at medium volume. https://www.amazon.com/EEP-100-Rechargeable-Construction-Manufacturing-Maintenance/dp/B07P8YDBZD/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    SK X-Frame Wrenches - COO & Design Changes

    Mine were super nice wrenches and would always get compliments with their style and weight. But IMO they had too many teeth and that contributed to me going through 5 warranty wrenches before I gave up and sold them. Once they made me pay for shipping on the warranty wrench, then was the final...

    Ratcheting wrench sets with anti slip open ends?

    Ooooh I didn't know Milwaukee had ratcheting wrenches!! The angle is perfect and the teeth look good/aggressive 😍 just bought a set of them. Thank you everyone for your help!!

    Ratcheting wrench sets with anti slip open ends?

    Every single one of the ratcheting portions always strip or bind up the pawls. The teeth are just too fine and any little movement other than horizontal results in them slowly jamming up. The 10mm has been especially bad at this. As much as I love the wrenches for their open end and high tooth...

    Ratcheting wrench sets with anti slip open ends?

    I'm looking for ratcheting wrenches similar to the SK X-Frame ratcheting wrenches with the anti-slip open end. I have a full set of those and they're not holding up to daily use on the job and would like to replace them with something better.
