Todd the Tinkerer Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I picked up a couple of things through msc industrial supply. The first is an 8 adjustable wrench that is a wide jaw and only 3/16" thick. And the second is pivoting hex head wrenches that are actually good. What interesting tools do you have???Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tool bill and get to order what I want then it is payroll deduct like $20 a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hmmm.....I have all kinds of interesting tools. I'll get some picks tomorrow. The Channellock adjustables are made by a Spanish company called Irega. They are one of the nicest adjustables made today and they OEM for several other brands as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khariV Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have the same wrench. It's great and probably the best adjustable wrench I've used, not like that's saying all that much mind you, but it is a very nice tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 BY FAR the best adjustable wrench I've ever used. I need to pick up the slim jaw in 6" and 8", for the regular jaw I stopped using them and use my pliers wrench...shame that I discovered them a couple months before investing in pliers wrenches. Engineer also makes slim jaw adjustable wrenches. Never seen those hex wrenches before but I'm a fan of Bondhus, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had the adjustable very long, but it has a good hand feel. Good to know it is quality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like they don't want to sell to the everyday person and only want to deal with companies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of H.R. Giger! I didn't read into them much as they were pretty cheap, but after reading that these are meant to remove screws I think I'm going to order them.

Conductor562 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Here's one that popped in my head, the Logica Hextension . I love this thing. While there aren't a whole lot of situations where I've fully realize it's benefit, there's no downside to it either. It's made in America by a start-up company too. Here's the write-up I did on it when I first got it: http://professional-power-tool-guide.com/2015/07/the-logica-hextension-american-innovation/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I can see how it would be beneficial. Have been known to curse in similar situations as the one that brought this into being. made in USA always a plus as long as the quality is there.

Conductor562 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Here's another that I'd say would fall into the interesting category. SK ......pivoting......,,I'm not sure what the hell they called them to be honest. They don't make them anymore if that tells you anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexible Pliers Set part number 89103 and it looks like you can still find them at some random online retailers. Places like Amazon and Northern booth list them as unavailable but a few places had them for sale. Husky apparently has a similar set but they have a pair of tongue and groove instead of the cutters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were sold by SK during the later part of the Facom era. I can't imagine why Ideal decided not to continue offering them ? I'm sure there's that one situation in awkward quarters where they are fantastic, I just haven't found it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
