Hey bud have you tried Koken tools? They say they’re from Japan. I’ve never seen a single one of their tools but that suburu guy on the shorts won’t shut up about em.
If you work for yourself you are more likely to own better quality time saving gear that is a pleasure to work with rather than scratching around like a chicken working for somebody else. Take hold of your future people before Klaus Schwab does! You like the thought of owning nothing and eating bugs?
Couple of comments. Ive been pushing spanners since I was eighteen , Inherited a few American made ring spanners, my favourite is half inch /nine sixteenth. Probably made in the 50s. They are I been in cross section with beautifully rounded edges and the surface is matt sandblast finish. I dont understand modern spanners that are polished like a mirror. Most of my work is on cars and motorbikes so there is always grease and oil involved and the modern spanners get so slippery. I know it makes for easy cleaning but they are hard to grip in a slimy situation.Prefer the matt ones, always clean them with solvent after use. They are still in perfect condition.
Beautiful though they are ( the set of 4 curved box end wrenches ), My OLD Snap-on set is JUST as shiny ( although scuffed and scratched after 50 years of use ) without needing to cut the word 'shiny' into the tool itself. …..AND I find, from the look you gave us at least, that the wall thickness is chunky and clumsy-looking to my eye. Clearly I am a Snatch-On product of many years but Truth told, they HAD a fantastic warranty and the truck turned up at the garage EVERY WEEK to sell us more and HAPPILY replace what we'd managed to break. In fact, the truck salesman also told us the way we could 'break' some tools the 'correct' way so we could more easily get a replacement. Cheers my friend from North Ontario….snow gone now!!
Yep the old Snap-On tools died. I do the same, if I can find em, Ima buyin em. I've got a couple Snap-On wrenches like those which I bought back in the 90s at an estate sale. The guy that owned the home had passed away and he bought the wrenches in the 60s and used em as a mechanic for 20 years before retiring and using them on his own cars prior to passing where I tool em on and have used em any chance I get.
Some poor Japanese guy that made that tool is probably crying because you put that cheap penetrating oil on his masterpiece God I almost feel bad for the guy it honestly looks like somebody truly cared about that tool when it was made
A breaker bar with a leather wrapped handle. That's luxury.
Babydoll is a real one for getting that knife for a gift, fucking incredible blades that Cy makes.
I think that's the nicest looking knife handle I've ever seen, and I'm not usually one to remark on the beauty of knife handles.
What’d you find out about that Hitachi power tool? Scookum?

I keep buying the ratchets. Already got the sockets. They even work with cheap sockets

A high quality tool in the box is what my wife and can both agree upon.
Teeing it up….

Nothing like watching your vijaous while your downing vodkas like a Russian hooker on ice
I think the flat end is for smacking with a hammer

I ran across a Snap-On version of that little 3/8 ratchet and just had to have it. I've never used it, mind you…but I just had to have it.
