    Long term every day shop experience with Olsa tools and Tekton 1/2” split beam torque wrenches?

    I'm interested also - but haven't seen any reviews other than the commercialized BoobToob tripe. I'm only a hobbyist/DIY'er so the handle shape is of less concern here .. hopefully someone with experience in what you are looking for happens by

    I hope that HD has some to handle - sounds fiddly for me, but the fine motor skills were never a strength

    Ah, the 100 Yen counterpart to the Dollar Stores. Just what we need is another chain!

    Good idea - I need to find the closed cell sleeping pad from my backpacking days & transfer it to the garage

    I did check out his website - and see he is a member here ... but with no activity since over a year ago

    Anyone done business with the above-cited Company - "Tonical Tools"?

    To be fair, those I got came with something else - in a yellow/black color scheme - not Tekton, which I'd expect to be first rate

    Craftsman Robo Grip Pliers - The Ideal Junk Drawer Tool

    Wow, when i came across a pair of Robogrips while swapping tool boxes I had thot I must have been foolishly alone in trying them back when ... I can't remember either buying them or using them much. I don't know what to do with them other than let the kids sell them while cleaning out the house...

    I guess I'm just too stoopid to appreciate the cosmetics .. personally preferring clear markings, but a little paint is likely cheaper than large engravings

    That color scheme confuses me. If you use the tools enough you can eyeball sizes to some degree of accuracy (like my mechanic gramp, but to be fair he could only spot the difference between 11/16" and 3/4, metric hadn't been invented back then), if you don't use them that often having to...

    Dewalt 20V Battery Problems?

    Like most everyone who has responded here, I have had no issues with any of my DeWalt 20V batteries, I have a range from 1.5A to a pair of 5.oA. Depends on the use - I will use the smaller batts where the extra weight of the big ones is onerous, the bigger ones if heading out back with the...

    Hydraulic Floor Jacks

    I'd be interested in the real reason also - but my guess is there's little prospect of the shop making a profit when brand new jacks (no comment on quality) can be had for as few dinero as they can nowadays

    I had thought the comment related to the wrenches being upside down in the picture .. nice looking set of them regardless

    Electric lawnmowers in 2026 - any good?

    Reading through here just in case my Toro decides to croak - I have been pushing it about since it replaced the prior 20 YO Toro in 2008. I like the idea of not messing with tune ups each spring, and the quietude of the electric, but on the other hand one electric neighbor can only do 1/2 their...

    After giving myself hand cramps using manual wrenches recently I decided I "needed" a small impact driver. To go wimpy I chose to try my First Milwaukee tool since my 44 year old corded Sawzall ... a 3/8" Stubby M12 (& yeah I took off the belt clip jobby)

    Is the PAM a preventative or an after you prune cleaner? I'd vote for whatever you have already at hand for another purpose, there are too many single purpose products being pushed for conditions we never realized as "problems"

    Tool Sets

    The all-in-one kits are nice, but limited if you switch vehicles a lot as I have. Seems like the places that used to fit that hard case in the old buggy are always being redesigned so's to just barely but not fit anymore. A soft bag tailored to vehicle and needs is sometimes more practical to...

    Replace bottom rollers

    Likely a troll, but I found some usefulness in the thread and just successfully completed one of my two bottom rollers. Too hot to complete and to get to the other side will require me to move some stuff to get access. I just unhooked the cable, the worst part was spending all that time...
