    ah...gotya. i got nothing for you then 

    haha, yeah man...it sucks because in that case it's nut driver(which are kinda expensive for a rarely used tool or combination wrench which is not ideal in those situations because there's nothing to hold the wrench onto the nut other than your hand.

    Have you thought about buying a driver that will accept sockets? That way you have either option without having to carry a full set of both. 

    Like a spinner handle? I have a nice ratcheting Gearwrench set with multiple length 1/4" hex and square shafts(Which I highly recommend btw). The problem lies on the rare occasion that there is a longer screw and a nut; the nicer nut drivers have a hollow shaft that can accept a few inches of screw, even more than a deep socket would accept.

    Look to be about 3/8" deep, not a lot of extra room there if you're going on nut with some bolt sticking out. But that's not what I bought them for. I use them for screws in equipment panels, and the worm screws on pipe clamps, other things like that

    About the same as the Craftsman. I normally don't run into any issue but when I do it sucks having to grab a combination wrench after you had a tool that might have been able to do the job. It's not really worth the cost of a Williams or European nut driver set to me but if the Ace would have worked, I might have bit. Their branded tools are nice, their ratcheting combination wrenches are Gearwrench.

    Fingers got a little sticky while buying some gloves at Ace today. Got the set of nut drivers and screwdrivers, never had a set of either, just had one here and there, and Ace has always been good quality for me in the past buying tools from, hope they still are.

     

    How deep are the nut drivers hollowed out? That's my biggest pet peeve with my Craftsman nut drivers, they're shallow.

    Those look a lot like the HD Husky made in the USA screwdrivers, which I've heard good things about.

    I may make a post about it but this one is about Comp's wife so I'll save it for later. Though I appreciate the sentiment behind the question Buddy :)

    Comp, how's the Wife doing the day after? I find the day after is what really sets the tone for how the recovery process will go.

  18. (Dead) Milwaukee m12 2.0 battery 2 pack $40

    in Tool Deals

    Posted

    This post was taken from Slickdeals, I did not find this deal just the post:

    Quoting Jeff: The two pack of M12 batteries is on sale for $49. Add a filler to bring the total to $50 so you can use the $10 off $50 coupon code 245682 which brings the total price down to $40. The batteries are back-ordered and will ship in 8-15 days.

    Batteries: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200612053_200612053

    $1 Safety Glasses: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200258074_200258074

    The batteries will apparently ship for free, but the safety glasses don't, so there will be $6 shipping charge for the order. Alternatively, you can have them shipped to store for free. If anyone finds a filler that includes free shipping, let me know.

  20. kc tool co deal of the day

    I was looking to get these http://www.kctoolco.com/felo-neon-ergonic-6-pc-set-slotted-phillips-p/f62689.htm for my truck. I like the case to keep them in.

    I do not have experience with those but I am hesitant to trust Felo's screwdriver cases, the case for my precision set was terrible. I have quite a bit of Felo tools and the case was soo out of the ordinary, it felt like something you'd get at HF. I ended up replacing it with a nylon tool roll which I really like. Their screwdriver are top notch and for that price it's like getting a case and a couple of screwdrivers for free.

     

    Keep in mind that a Snap On Instinct single screwdriver is about $20. I have a full set of Snap On Instincts, not even close to being as nice as the hex-shaft Felos.

     

    Here's a size comparison for several makes, all are PH2.

  22. IHL Canada tool site

    in Tool Deals

    That's literally the first I've ever heard of import fees coming to the US. I've shipped and received hundreds of packages from/to Canada. With hockey equipment it's often cheaper for a Canadian to buy from the US(even if the product is made in Canada!), so a lot of guys would buy stuff I didn't want anymore or didn't like out of the box...then I make more and more Canadian friends and we start trading. I used to keep customs forms next to my printer because I was shipping soo much stuff. 

     

    At least now we know what retailer to avoid! Sorry you were taken Chris :( I don't really understand why you had to pay UPS shipping you already paid to the vendor on top of everything else, seems like something really shady was going on there.

  25. New ratchets for Jimbo per Bmack

    in Hand Tools

    Posted

    You use the grease or oil?

    Grease. The fine tooth ratchet you may want to try oil. My fine tooth ratchets are Gearwrench which are dual-pawled so I was able to get away with grease, since it's essentially two 60-tooth ratchets offset in one casing.
