You'd think it would be that simple, but I keep getting an error message when attempting on my phone and desktop.

I find it really easy. I take the picture, save it to my PC, use Photoshop Elements to crop the image as necessary and convert to JPEG format and resize the image to a suitable one for the Web.
Then I just press the "Attach files" paperclip button and open the image in its saved location.
I'm not sure what file formats and max file sizes are applicable to GJ, but if phots don't fit the "rules" you won't be able to upload them.
I recently bought the same ratchet....I think.....I wanted the darkest blue and I believe I ordered a different color blue....I forgot about it until now!!!!....being my first 3/8 snap on ratchet I was shocked at how small the hard handle was....I got a good deal on it and it feels great the small amount I have used it....but I can't help but think someone switched handles.....your pic makes the handle look almost normal size. I blame a lot of my purchases on this site as well
SO FHLD80 in power blue. The dual 80s with hard handles are so good, I love them.
Pic taken with my other 3/8 units I’ve bought since I’ve been a member. I blame you all for this btw.
Koken Nutgrip in 3/8" drive. Shallow: 8mm-22mm. Deep: 8mm-19mm
Nice. I'd really like to buy these myself some day.
Ever since the website upgrade about two (?) years ago, I've been very happy with copy 'n paste.

Whenever I get that message, I just reload the webpage and it seems to fix the issue.You'd think it would be that simple, but I keep getting an error message when attempting on my phone and desktop.
Could be your file size as well. I sometimes get that message, then reduce the file size and shazam, the upload goes through.
Didn't know they even made torque screwdrivers until I had a need, looked at "how", and found them.
Figured Gearwrench would be a decent choice as the brand gets a bit of love on this forum. A nice component is the 1/4" square drive socket recessed into the top of the handle.
Thanks for the new tool, men!
EDIT to add: Made in Taiwan

Fein 1.6mm (16ga steel) shear from Marketplace and DeWalt pneumatic narrow crown stapler for a shed project. I planned to use this project as an excuse to finally buy a Kett shear for the metal roofing, which I did order, but shipping delays are pushing it to the point where the whole project will be done before it arrives. So now it is my excuse to also buy a throatless, single cut shear 
Snap-on REX25C extractor set from the truck and 1/4” - 15/16” Craftsman V-series for a travel toolbox I’m putting together. It seems like this new extractor set is non-Irwin but US made with a slightly different design.

I was in Iowa for a few weeks and this popped up on marketplace for $100. I have no need for them, but the town they were in was right on the route to my niece’s house so I figured it was a sign.
Made in Taiwan Masterforce wrenches originally from Menards. 1 5/16 - 2”. I can probably use them on distributors or something. I did have to buy the 2 missing ones new to complete the set.

I haven't looked at my Irwins in a while, but IIRC they've got the sizes inked on them and not stamped. And they're in a case and not a tray; I remember that much LOL. There have been multiple posts here in the last few years that SO broke up with Irwin, so these are probably no longer made by Irwin.

Picked up a 16mm 1/2” impact socket and got the Cynergy foam from my dealer. I currently have 8 out of the 14 ratchets. Should only cost about $10 Grand to complete the set.

Eight of the 100 tooth ratchets? How many of them have the freewheeling issue?Picked up a 16mm 1/2” impact socket and got the Cynergy foam from my dealer. I currently have 8 out of the 14 ratchets. Should only cost about $10 Grand to complete the set.

6, two newest ones don’t.
Wow. So, 6 of 8 are "defective"? Good job Snap On.

I agree, I had a cast tub bite me in the 70`s. I still have the scars !

Thanks, can you post the product number of the two that are problem free? Thanks
Those mallet look interesting. What are you using them for?Some stuff for the Stick Welder. The ground clamp in old Tweco packaging is US made. The Tweco stinger and the cable connectors are Mexican.
Wiha and PB Swiss mallets and a few welding magnets. Bessey WMS-4 is Made in India. All the while I thought these were still German manufactured.
Got 3 pieces of Nicholson Ergo Handled File Sets. Great deal. Thanks a lot to the OP in Hot Deals thread.
How have the magnets held up for you? I have heard mixed reviews on a few brands.

FHL100 and FHLF100 are free of the problem, however they were recently purchased. The others I bought when they were first released. I don’t plan on getting the older ones fixed. The only time I’ve had a problem was using the stubby ones, when I grab it around the head/neck area and ratchet. I don’t usually choke up on the longer ratchets.

Thanks I have a FL100 and FLF100 with the problem from an early run and was wondering if a newer run fixed the issue. The rebuild kit did nothing.
I’ve never had a need for ultra thin wrench until recently, I can not adjust a serpentine on my car without. I chose one of the least expensive sets on Amazon. I don’t know if they will get much use, but I have them in case.
Sometimes when you're in a bind for a thin wrench and the torque involved isn't great, keep bicycle "cone" wrenches in mind. They're just stamped. Prices are affordable. This is a fancy version:
Park Tool SCW Pro Shop Cone Wrench
Endorsed and used here at THE BIKESMITHS The special "Y" head design puts more material where it's needed for strength and durability. Precision sizing and a military grade industrial phosphate finish ensure an accurate fit and consistent quality. Thin enough to use on the narrowest of adjusting...

Here's the bare bones kind:
I've used the bare bones kind on rear caliper bolts on my old VW rear disc brakes, just holding the guide pin steady by its 15mm flats while I tighten the normal ol' bolt with a normal ol' socket/torque wrench.
