    Recommend scan tool for Toyota Rav4 Hybrid

    I figured that the topology map would be useful, but not worth it to me for the extra cost. Understand I've never used one that will provide a topology map, but I figured that the topology map might make it easier to find a specific thing. I wanted to monitor but I can't say that with any...

    Yeah, I think you are at least number three... You should try the equivalent. Klein.

    What would everyone choose for a pry bar set if you were to buy new?

    That's actually really good to know I had no idea... But the Walmarts I have gone to in Michigan and Ohio never have but I consider interesting tools. Frankly, I stopped looking.

    What knife are you carrying today?

    Yeah, luckily I have a lot of things that can sharpen hard steel... Specifically, I have a lot of things with diamond that will deal with it. I also have some knives with CPM Rex 121...

    What would everyone choose for a pry bar set if you were to buy new?

    For me it's wilde If you can find one at Walmart they label those hyper tough, but I bought mine at Tekton https://www.tekton.com/angled-end-handled-pry-bar-set-with-wall-hanger-6-piece-lsq96505

    What knife are you carrying today?

    Spyderco with maxamet steel. That has the lightweight FRN handle, but I prefer g10.

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

    You figured me out, never use them :cool: You can trust me... The reality is that the older I get and the newer the car is, the less inclined I am to work on it. But with respect to the deepest.... I was even using drops on a wooden swing set with a nut set deep into a recessed home with a...

    Show your extra long screwdrivers...

    Only thing 16 in or larger... That rules out my 15-in Milwaukee made in USA drivers that are rather long... I have a Williams that's over 18 in and a Mayhew bit driver that is 24 and 1/2 in Long with 6 in of the shaft near the end being flexible and then a bit driver head on the end. That...

    Recommend scan tool for Toyota Rav4 Hybrid

    Everything I'm going to recommend here has lifetime free updates just so you know. I do like my Innova 5610 OBD2 Bidirectional Scan Tool. It has worked well for me but I've only used it on cars from 2016 and older. A friend of mine borrowed it and he was quite pleased with it. And as of right...

    I like the handles and if you can make use of them put in another order... I haven't need to use them yet and I haven't compared them to my channel locks yet... But they seem like they're a lot of plier for the money. Did I mention I like the handles?

    You were a good secret Santa.... I rarely NEED the better ones, but when I do I am glad I have them.

    Well fortunately for you, we didn't actually buy all the stuff.... Which means that if you wanted to you could still place an order... And I've been resisting placing another order for stuff I want but don't need

    I bought that one to see what the differences were and after that it's like. Yeah I guess these are exactly the same.... Don't know if I'll buy anymore. I'll have to think about it. I probably have enough for my uses already

    I just compared the Snap-On LP7WC against a Malco Eagle Grip LP7WC. Things that look the same: Wire Cutter shaped the same. USA stamps are identicle on the side. Brazed point at top front point where the front top jaw meets the hood. Additional Rivet for added strength (just behind that brazed...

    Yeah in retrospect I wish I bought more of them... But for most things my other stuff does the job.

    I ordered this one very recently and they were out of stock.... So I assume that somebody is making them right now. I just wanted to try it and compare it to my malco pliers. Have not had time to do that yet

    Battle of the Bit Ratchets

    Is there any possibility that a standard wrench with a bit adapter on it would reach? The image above shows a gear wrench bit adapter set and that has a longish handle and a really long handle, especially for a bit adapter and that can really reach into those hard to reach places and maybe...

    Battle of the Bit Ratchets

    The one I have switches very very easily, but it's small and a little out of the way, which means I need to concentrate to get my finger in there to throw it away the switch. But it switches trivially every time. I would classify yours as defective

    I do love those! Williams screwdrivers.... Do you think that snap-on makes their own locking Pliers that are shaped differently? See the image below.

    I have box art Really like the wrenches.. I bought three because of the handles and they do not disappoint. Did not need more drill bits but some general purpose 118 degree high speed steel are useful to have multiple sets. Received a mystery gift.. 1/2" breaker bar. This thing is a...
