Tell me about it...ford commercial tech here haha
anyone know how well these hold up to heavy use? I've broken several other bits in the last couple of weeks...getting real tired of having to get them replaced so frequently.

Mr. Funnel, bearing packing tool, and Craftsman 48 piece thread restorer kit.
Kit is on sale for about $40!!! I didn't have the patience to try to locate all of my Sears accounts and get them straightened out, so with tax and shipping, it was about $52 total delivered to my door. I can't wait to use them!
It's one those tools that you know you don't want to have to use but already know that it's going to be handy as all get out!
I just got that rethread kit. Only rebranded as Snap-On and for $111 on sale

Return it and buy the one in the Hot Deals section.
If you break a piece the replacement is about $2 from Snappy.

I did hear a little something about the transition from 1/2 to 3/4 is too great a jump for medium duty mechanics to make so a 5/8 drive system is being consideredWell, they are 3/8 after all.
Just imagine how much more of our member's money would be flowing into tool truck owner's pockets if metric sockets were 6, 10 & 13mm drive. Some guys would need to add a side cabinet just for ratchets.
That oughta **** another 5 grand out of ya !

I hope not.
I'm no pro, but on the surface that would appear to be a colossal waste!

I like the idea of these Milwaukee ones with ability to give them that extra tighten. Have you had a chance to play with them yet?

just a little over the weekend, they are much better than the Irwin ones.
I've got some Grip on's on order too, looking forward to seeing those when they arrive.

Thanks. I don't have any thumbs so I really struggle with getting normal ones tight. I think I'll pick up a pair.

I used to have one exactly like that. Worked pretty good and I had it for many years. Came up missing when I was building my new shop at my home and moving my tools from my little work area at my parents house. I think one of my brother's kids ended up with it.
I kept telling myself I was going to replace it but just never had.

For the record, Rocco and spidermonkey if you have recent vice grips you can tighten them more with allen wrenches under the thumbscrew.
Hi Rocco and spidermonkey I must say, I would use the loop in the Milwaukee grips for another reason maybe to tie a tether if you are working on a ladder or high scaffolds or for some other reason. Like maybe holding sheet good if hauling up a ladder.

You might not be able to crank it down as hard as a screw driver and yes a screwdriver is probably much easier to find lying around but the point is that even vice grips can be tightened more than with our thumbs.

Born that way but still quite handy with the spanners.
SPANNER Monkey! Lol. In the UK spanners are what you call wrenches.
There's a Milwaukee vid here showing how they're intended to be used:
Review here:
http://www.protoolreviews.com/tools/hand/drivers-wrenches/milwaukee-torque-lock/12569/
I think they'll be very useful for me for places where access is not so great.
I didn't know that they had that feature. Good tip.
