My back ordered 1/4" Williams wrench finally showed up

And the box it was shipped in. All by itself. In classic Snap-on/Williams fashion.

that moment when you start doing the road trip math... if they even had another it would be cheaper to just buy it from tooltopia or amazon

at least two tanks of gas plus food... now give me gas prices from when my vehicle was built (summer of 96)...

Yeah there some real pricey bits of kits on the market for extracting deep seat injectors, Laser are 1 the most reasonably priced, who makes the hydraulic tool, you mentioned?

It is a made up kit by colchester fuels, an amazing peice of kit. Used correctly and not abusing the injector it still takes a full day to pull a seized injector from a traffic/vivaro or primastar

I have a large wiring job coming up. Finally invested in some better electrician grade tools. The jury is out on the power probe solder/torch kit, untill I have time to try it out. The Klein tools are top notch. Even though the Katapults are stamped Taiwan, I doubt I will live long enough to wear them out. The Klien diag cutters are stamped USA.

The Amazon "pocket picker" has struck again..

Klien Hi leverage diag cutters
Klien Katapult wire strippers
Power Probe micro torch kit

Too bad about the strippers... My dad has an old USA pair of those I've always wanted. For anything pliers like I'm a sucker for Klein, but I think might try and find a NOS American one.... I'll buy import tools an have honestly usually had great luck with them. But it just seems wrong seeing made in Taiwan on Klein....

It was a suprize to me about the Taiwan Katapults. That was my fault for not reading further into the description. I do admit, they feel pretty heavy. The jaws are always the first to go with cheaper spread stlye strippers. If I have any gripes, I will report back. Good thing about the Kliens, is I can go to any eletrician supply place and find the replacement jaws.

Those vans are a pain to work on, I once had a Primastar in for a clutch and a wheel bearing hub wouldn't let go of the drive shaft Post a picture of this kit, please, I'm interested to see what it comprises of!

If you haven't tried those things yet, I'll just say that they are by a mile the best wire strippers I've ever used. Make everything else I've personally tried look like a total joke

That makes me feel better. I have roughly 150 cuts and strips coming up. I wont go easy on them.

Yeah, those strippers won't even break a sweat at that. I've had mine for 3 or 4 years now, used regularly on weekends and not a single issue. I tried using some of the regular hardware store strippers the other day and couldn't do it without damaging at least a few strands of the wire. The Klein ones have spoiled me that bad

It's classic Germany over-engineering. You'll see what I mean. When you start to release the handle after after stripping it's designed to release the wire without closing back at first, giving you time to get your wire out of the tool. It works perfect. You'll see what I mean.

My only complaint is the size.. sometimes in weird spots working on cars it can get tough to fit them in there.. but as long as you have room they will work great.

 

[Mastermind]

Saw this handy little item in a sale flyer. I figure for ten bucks if it works as described it will be a great value.

You will love that thing. After fixing several handles others have broken, I had to have it lol. Saved some time and frustration. Anything I can do to prolong that heart attack.....

Those klein strippers are incredible, I don't know how or why I even tried stripping wire before I had them. I've had my pair for a couple years not sure if they're Taiwan or not but they've worked flawlessly every time

 

[vertguy]

After seeing some of the hand drills on here, got the itch and found this Proto for $10. Very cool design with the articulating handle and it also had a bunch of drill bits in the handle as well.

How do the Klein Wire Strippers compare to the Ideal Stripmaster? I've been thinking about getting those too.

 

[four.cycle]

vertguy - that Proto hand drill is way cool!

I was at Autozone yesterday and saw these while waiting for the line, decided to pick them up for $2. Was surprised to see them Made in USA.

One set is Phillips /flat, second is extra long Phillips /flat. Third is torx and then extra long torx

[hangfirew8]

Well, there are JIS Phillips-like screwdrivers...

-HF

 

[Strouty]

You guys forgot security and robertson.

 

[PureLeaf]

I just had to buy JIS screwdrivers for some "Speak on" connectors that said under no circumstances to use regular phillips screwdrivers with. They worked just fine with my regular Proto Duratrek phillips screwdrivers, but I figured work is paying, great excuse to give Vessel's JIS screwdrivers a try.

(face palm)

what was I thinking?!?!?

yes!

security
Robertson

then there's length gotta have everything from "stubby" up to at least 24 inches

and don't forget clutch heads! gotta have clutch heads!

 

[schor]

And pozidrive, spanner drilled, and a variety of other tamper-proof drives.

Was at Lowes today, and Kobalt appears to have the same thing for the same price $2.

I bought a Pozidriv screwdriver for Speakons, worked out well.

^^^ Those are great neck screwdrivers under the kobalt name

Just got an Esab Rebel and a spool gun to go with it and can't wait to start using it!!
