Workpro 4.75 inch long mini long nose

Oh really? I bought a pair of the Workpro 8-inch long-nose slip-joint pliers but was not impressed at all by them. They were shipped out.
I didn't see the workmanship on them as being top-shelf.
I just put two pairs of those smaller ones in my cart.

VIM NORA ratcheting flex head boxed ends & ratchets.

where?

Sorry to hear of your work pro plier issues. The few that I have work well and are nicely finished.

Here. Top is the 3/8 short spinner handle with a VIM NORA 113 13mm reversible ratcheting flex head wrench attached to it.

Bottom is the 1/4 short spinner handle with a NORA NRA44 1/4 drive flex head quick release ratchet. I also have the NRA64 which a 3/8 drive quick release flex head ratchet with a 1/4 female square drive at its base for use with an extension or spinner handle.

Why don't you just use your Cobras to remove the bottlecaps?

(joke)

(Kind of. I got some 6" Cobras for the kitchen because I was tired of being unable to grab film/foil/plastic covers underneath screw cap lids, my fingernails just not long enough, my fingers too big, just not enough to grab onto.... unless you have the Jaws of Justice. And, as my supervisors used to say, "And other duties as assigned.")

Got a mystery package this weekend, an Amazon package covered in Japanese writing. I had recently sent a pair of Tsunoda flush cutters to a friend as a surprise gift, so he sent me the Top HT-200B 200m/10" thin-jaw, offset-bend "Crescent" wrench! Neat!



24mm is as far as it will go. Not a bad idea, considering the thin and pointy jaws.



Here ve see ze life unt death struggle of ze two-part spring-loaded thumbscrew to prevent slop. Really impressed with how well this feature works, and the rest of the fit and finish is notable, too.




Sorry, no SAE markings for you.



Jaws are 4.5mm at the very tip, 4.8mm closest to the main body.





Take heed!



(shrug)

Some specs from the back of the packaging. At only 135 grams, HT-150B is probably a better one to drop on unsuspecting pedestrians if you're a practical joker.



Amazon shows this as a $39.60ish wrench today.

It's also one item removed from my Harry Epstein's wishlist for July 4th. I had the smaller one on my list. I still have a very small one with very thin jaws on my wishlist.

I just purchased these off the MAC truck. I think I did o.k. price wise, $200 for the 9 piece Metric and the 7 piece SAE

is it cheaper to buy from the truck than it is from matco website and get shipped? ive never bought from a truck before or their tools so a noob here.

Oddly that link doesn't work for me.. this one works for me. It's oddly similar

By searching for top tool ht 200b I came up with the link above, maybe that'll work for you if the first one doesn't

Pulling a @BlakeTheCarGuy today. Ok, maybe half - as it isn’t a car parts store brand single socket. But maybe it counts because it was a single order.

Milwaukee 1/2” shockwave impact socket 22mm.

 

[SouthernIllinois]

Tekton 10, 12 & 13mm and 7/16, 1/2 & 9/16 semi-deep sockets and some more Tool Box Widget wrench holders.

I put the new sockets on a magnetic bar on the lid of my cart.

I figured I use those sizes the most and this way I won’t have to grab a whole rail of sockets and pop one off for most of what I need. I can just grab it off the rail.

Yes! You are correct sir! That is the good link.

But is that a tightly-spaced denim fabric?

Picked up your new ct861am from my SO guy at the end of work today. Surprised he actually had it on the truck as he's usually behind on times when it comes to new stuff. Haven't put it to use but she's def torquey

That’s the one Snap-on power tool I would buy because I use my coworkers older one a lot. I’ve been thinking of pulling the trigger on one but trying to get my bill lower first haha.

 

[kudakev615]

I've bought every generation of 1/4 and 3/8 versions of the SO 14.4 impacts, I find them that useful and enjoy using them. And it helps that my SO guy will actually work with on prices after stonewalling me at MSRP for the longest time

Remember those Indian made Gedore wrenches , specifically the NR14 series ?

They're back, well, sort of , with the newer updated box end design seen on newer Gedore wrenches , made in India , less than $1 each but they have " Parkside " laser etched onto them near the DIN3113 forged lettering and are sold at Lidl for $6.99/set.

Interestingly, they opted to include a 9mm but omit an 11mm
