    Tekton tin snips

    https://www.tekton.com/cutting/aviation-snips on the website…. $40 is for the set of three. That makes them $13.33 and a 10% credit. Even though that’s seems a fair price, they still must **** because there are no red hard handled screwdrivers being made.😂😉

    Auto mechs, how often do you use deep sockets? Would you miss them?

    Some interesting perspectives here, especially from the pro’s. I typically reach first for a shallow 6 point with mid-length being a close second. If I’m unsure of what will be needed, a rail of mid-length might be my first grab. I don’t usually grab long unless necessary. The real answer here...

    Harry J Epstein Day 2026

    Got my Epstein order. I didn’t do box art and failed to get a picture of all the items, but I did snap a picture of my BRAND NEW Plomb 1/2” breaker bar. The head had a little corrosion and wouldn’t pivot so I had little hope of the ball detents working well. A little spray of Rust Free and...

    Tekton tin snips

    They literally tell you the COO of EVERY SINGLE ITEM on their website. They also provide a link to all tools made in house and all tools made in USA. You are just simply not correct In your statements. Thanks to the OP for posting some new tool news on a tool forum.

    Tools from the old world

    Both the Heyco and Hazet came from KC Tool. I’ve not handled the Facom, but the Hazet ratchet is very heavy built. It’s rated by Hazet for almost 740 Ft/lbs torque, so they have quite a bit of confidence in it. I found it on sale, despite it being perpetually out of stock. The Heyco driver...

    Tools of Japan

    So, I get my shipping notice from a Harry Epstein order I placed this past weekend and notice I’ve placed an order for these: This was obviously me fat-********* something during the ordering process as I didn’t purposely order them. I’ll call this a pleasant surprise to myself, as I don’t...

    I’m GUESSING that Snap On won’t sell high-tooth count ratchets to Cat and the technicians at Cat are probably looking for more than 36 teeth, being it’s 2026 and all…

    I’m a fan of the Stahlwille ratchets. They are the main reason in going through the hassle of sorting through the Cat catalog and order process. Definitely an improvement over the low tooth Williams on offer at Cat.

    Coil spring compressor

    Reviving this older thread as I didn’t see this particular spring compressor listed: https://eibach.com/product/5.40260?srsltid=AfmBOopg-VasxR4SzQwiqayaUW0ovM88gv10RFZiTDk4WJvr7XSiZZ9m $200. Made in Taiwan. So far I’ve only used it to compress springs from a Polaris Ranger UTV, so they aren’t...

    Tools from the old world

    Ordered this extendible Hazet 1/2” drive ratchet March 15th. After a quarter of a year it finally arrived. Well worth the wait, this is a pretty stout ratchet. It will be going in one of my trucks. The locking mechanism is very positive and extends from about 16” to about 24”. Also picked up a...

    New MAC Axis ratchets

    So far, it seems to contain the factory lubricant well and I haven’t noticed any of the lubricant weeping out. It came with a light oil (as opposed to something thicker like a Superlube grease).

    Tools of Japan

    It does state that the bits and handle are “made in Japan”, however I’m unsure if Vessel actually make the handle. The bits appear to be typical Vessel quality, but the bit holder is pretty bad. The Japanese hex bit world is…. “Weird”.

    Thanks for the info. The thread is about bit ratchets and I’m just looking for a made in Japan screwdriver style bit holder. This is a bit of a silly rabbit hole I’ve gone down….

    Howdy from DRPD!

    @billspreston Is DRPD getting out of the Keiba Pliers game? I went looking for a few and it’s seems almost all are out of stock, with some having been out of stock for quite an extended period.
