do those door switch clamps really work? I need those if they work as well as I hope.

Is that KTC oil filter cup wrench only for 'cartridge' type oil filters or is it for the basic standard oil filter?

grabbed the Craftsman 12 piece deep metric impact sockets, USA made ones, pretty damned cheap... but you guys know what they look like, no need for pics.

This is my second set and on my cars they work very well indeed, the door chime on the Crowns would drive anyone insane within minutes.
This is for standard spin-on filters.
The missus went shopping and got me this Premier (Sealey) 18" 3/8 drive breaker bar

Was scouting around for a new torque wrench. I have a Summit brand that has served me well the last few years. The thing I do not like about it is the plastic handle . The white in the numbers started wearing, it is readable but takes some effort.
I found a wrench that some here might be interested in hearing about. How about a SnapOn 20-150 for a 122 beans, no mistake that is the price.. There is this company CDI Torque Products, they manufacture, torque wrenches. Place the SnapOn logo on the wrench and we all know what SnapOn does with the price .........X2 or 3.
This does not say SnapOn on it, reads CDI Torque Products. Still made in the USA, same wrench in a black case, guessing SnapOn's case would be red. It is the real deal that is rebranded SnapOn, not the other way around, very nice product.

I'm pretty sure the snap on branded torque wrenches have different ratcheting heads.

Regardless, it's a very solid USA torque wrench that beats everything else in the price range.

Stopped by Menard's to use a a rebate credit and grabbed a 1/4" drive Irwin breaker bar, Some Channellock needle nose pliers and a pair of cheapo Tool Shop channel locks to exchange at Lowe's. Unfortunately, the Lowe's Irwin display was gone. That's ok, they'll just go in the chain saw tool box.
Then I made the trip down to Home Depot to price match a Do It Best hardware flyer, Irwin Vise Grips, 10" locking or 6" needlenose for $5.97. I asked the guy in hardware about buying a refill tape for my FatMax tape measure. He went ahead and gave me a new one on a honor exchange. I just need to bring the old one back. Talk about good customer service.

I think so too. I have the 1/4" one and i think the head is imported.

Did the pliers trade in at Lowe's, noticed a couple pairs of Craftsman T&G in there, a few slip joints, etc.
Also picked up a new Mini-Maglite and LED Upgrade kit since I seemed to have lost mine.

Where did you pick up the LED kit Jeff and about what did it run ?

Came from Lowe's along with the pliers and flashlight. It was around 8 bucks.
Not a bad deal. I need to get one of them for a larger light and a Mini-Mag lite too.
Thanks for the info Van Steel and Kiatech, I'm thinking of getting one.
Kiatech, by chance would you happen to know what size would fit a Toyota Tacoma oil filter for a 6 cyl. Engine?
Again thanks fellas for your input!
Holy ****, it's taken me forever in most of my spare time but that's 514 pages read! This forum is definitely bad for the wallet, since starting to read this I've brought a set of franklin impact sockets, Wera kraftform lasertips, knipex side cutters, some el cheapo internal circlip a that I now want to replace with knipex, and ordered a set of the Wera vde screwdrivers and franklin pry bars from my tool truck, wouldn't mind some knipex cobras but they are fairly pricey for how often I need them in my job, How are the Irwin pairs rated? also about to pull the trigger on the new 18v XR Li ion Dewalt 1/2dr impact wrench

According to alloyartifacts; mid 1930s Craftsman BE-series 'Midget' Socket set :
The cool part is the case is still with it after all these years.

CDI is owned by Snap On, similar to Williams, they are a "Snap On Industrial Brand". The only difference between the torque wrenches are the ratchet head, as someone else mentioned. And of course the brand etching. They are ever so much as good quality, and if i remember, carry the same warranty.

I got these from Mutsuura through Rakuten.
I don't know much about US market Toyota's so I only found 2 V6's. If it's a 5VZ-FE (3.4 litre) you need AVSA-073 (72.5 mm, 14 sides), for the 3GR-FE (4.0 litre) you want AVSA-064 (64 mm, 14 sides).

Exactly my point, the craftsmanship, function and calibration the same. I don't see that a ratchet head and a red box justify the difference of the prices. Not for my purposes for sure, this tool will get used.

I doubt you will use that much, think you should send it to me
wish i could find old craftsman (and Blackhawk/Plomb etc) stuff over here, sadly those makes weren't ever really imported in big levels (or at all) so finding anything is a real challenge.

I bought one of these LED conversion kits. I regretted it. It's cheaper and better to get the 3-pk CREE LED flashlights at Costco when they're on sale for $18 or so. Way brighter (200 lumens, IIRC). Much cheaper too.Also picked up a new Mini-Maglite and LED Upgrade kit since I seemed to have lost mine.

When you are in a cramped engine compartment it does, otherwise its not a big deal.
