You’ll love the oil filter pliers. Best ones I’ve ever owned. I convinced just about everyone in the shop to buy some cause they work on all sizes filters and don’t move like other brands. I bought mine new and told myself I was crazy for spending big bucks on them but now I’d buy more in a heartbeat.Pawn shop score! Gonna clean up the pliers.

Thank you
No other state cares enough to test...why does it cause cancer and reproductive issues in California.... but no where else
ahhhh ok i thought you mean B&M
www.bmstores.co.ukI´ve not seen any Vaughan tools sold offline over here. The typical pry bar sold here is also different. Usually they look like this. There are "american type" (?) pry bars (flat steel) sold here from Picard (China), Gedore (Taiwan), Stanley (?) and Peddinghaus (?) for example, but the typical bar is made from hexagonal/octagonal or oval/round bar. There are also japanese type bars available but usually not made in Japan
.
They are also going after companies that add the label on everything which are just trying to err on the safe side. I think one the reasons many places wont sell to California anymore.
I was highly amused that my new scraper can cause reproductive harm and cancer. I can definitely see how it could cause reproductive harm if you used it wrong, but I’m not sure on the cancerwhy does it cause cancer and reproductive issues in California.... but no where else

I'm trying to figure out what may cause cancer on this putty knife. Also, what on the pry bar (large one but not small one) from post 61,363 may cause cancer. The coating?I was highly amused that my new scraper can cause reproductive harm and cancer. I can definitely see how it could cause reproductive harm if you used it wrong, but I’m not sure on the cancer

Got my new combination wrench and 3/8" flex ratchet sockets.
The Facom website shows the thickness E=12.3mm and E1=16.5mm. I don’t know if it’s my misunderstanding, but the result I measured is E=19.5mm and E1=25mm.
So tell me more about those ratchet sockets. Where to buy? etc.
Thanks,
Seth
My understanding is companies have to test to prove it doesn't cause cancer OR put the label on it saying it could. Guess which option is cheaper? I'd say that law didn't work out how the lawmakers intended it to.

Show your “Crowntop” Craftsman
Is it possible there is no thread for posting Crowntop logo Craftsman tools, supplies, and boxes? These products are about fifty or so years old, still functional, but often showing their age. I’ll start with my latest two purchases: a 12’ tape measure (today) and a carry box (couple weeks...

I live in Taiwan so I bought from Shopee(which is a shopping site). They don't ship overseas, I guess.

I don't know how to translate its name, I'll just translate it into a 3/8" Dr. Box End Ratcheting Wrench Adapter. literally translate.
If I recall correctly, they were released at the end of November 2022. Since I already have extra long flex head ratcheting wrenches, I bought them purely out of curiosity. Labear advertise that these wrenches are for use with a breaker bar, but I doubt they can hold a ton of torque. Maybe one day I'll do some torque tests.
Found a very similar product on Amazon.jp.

Hernia included with no extra charge as well.500ft of 1/2in Conti air hose
Why?
Still asking myself that.
But it was cheaper than 100ft.

California law (Proposition 65) requires the state to publish a list once a year with a list of the deemed toxic substances that require warning labels. The list is here: https://oehha.ca.gov/media/downloads/proposition-65//p65chemicalslistsinglelisttable2021p.pdf
Not how it works ... its just a long list that gets longer. Not created by the legislature, it was a ballot initiative ('85 maybe?).
Nah, all down hill to the shop. I just hope the brakes work.Hernia included with no extra charge as well.
Amazon listed it as weighing 0.01oz.
So someone is lying
Or I'll get the dolly.

I really wish I'd had this this past weekend, and I'd noticed one of the HF's near me (finally) had them in stock.
Looking forward to testing this out. I was really struggling with space doing the cap and rotor on my old BMW this weekend. This alone might have been enough to solve my problems, but considering getting the Gearwrench Stubby 1/4" metric set (or something similar - doesn't seem to be a lot of options) and have as much flexibility as possible.
As it turned out, the 8mm from my Icon long double-box flex-head set saved my ****. The small amount of shoulder (? - not sure that's the right term - almost the effect of a super-shallow socket) on that wrench gave me the offset I needed to get on the fastener. if it had been a regular flex-head ratchet, the head would have prevented getting on two the fasteners on the cap.

I ordered one on-line weeks ago because no where in stores. The next day the order say’s back ordered. WTF, put that on the website…………..still waiting on my order.
I guess they've under-called the number on this thing, and getting more for something like this isn't usually just flipping a switch (months of lead-time), but they need to figure something out. It's apparently a very nice set, but too hard to get.

I have that sharpener... expensive... works ok but I prefer to use an oil stone for my kitchen knives. I use wet stones for chisels, utility blades, etc.Amazon and the hazard fraught..
I agree. It's ok. I just had my first go at it.
