Eklind Is Closing Its IL Plant

[tarbellb]

Heck with "Torque Test Channel". Somebody here who knows how to set up one of those "polls" put one up and let's see which ones come out on top. I'm sorry, I'm too dumb to figure out how to create a "poll" here.
Who cares about the "torque"? Is that really the issue?
Or FIT?
Again, I don't have a "favorite" - I just use what I own. But I would be curious to see the overall consensus among the members here.

Well.... Torque Test Channel (TTC) does infact cover fit, and wear, and torque.

Maybe just give it a watch, they put out excellent reviews without a lot of fluff.

I'll take your word for it - I don't need to watch the video.
My point being: feedback from members here (many of whom are real life, honest-to-God, 9-to-5 wrench turners) has a value which far exceeds that of a couple guys in a studio making a YouTube video.
Granted, there is an overwhelming amount of confirmation bias in the opinions of members here - which is to be expected. We are all human. It is our nature. We defend to the death our own choices. I'm okay with that.
But if we put the numbers up, it might paint a clearer picture.

Seriously: I do not know how to set up a "poll" on any of these "blog/discussion" websites. I've tried, and miserably failed.
So I am hoping that one of you will take it upon yourself to do it: Start a new thread, set up a poll, and let's tally the votes.
Put one up for hex keys.
Put one up for screwdrivers.

Let's see what the numbers are among the members here. Allow only ONE vote per person, if that's possible, so we don't have any "ballot stuffing" stuff.
I am genuinely interested to see what the outcome of such a "poll" would be.
Just those two: hex keys, screwdrivers.

Thanks.

Not dudes in a studio, in a shop, with testing equipment, with deep knowledge and research into most the tools they review.

You're doing yourself a injustice by not watching, these guys are, from what ive heard pro tool industry guys helping do R&D and design?

Just need to click that link, easier then setting up a poll

You never said what the specific poll subject should be??

Open your eyes and your mind.

The people doing those videos aren't "a couple guys in a studio making a YouTube video." They're engineers/designers for a major tool manufacturing company using repeatable scientific methods to test tools.

I'll take their empirical data over the opinion of some internet rando any day.
