77Ford01 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's official guys, I'm now more red than yellow. Also picked up a set of the SAE versions of yesterday's box end wrenches just to keep things symmetrical. I grabbed the camera for giving Hondas colonoscopies. I see it is time for a intervention ......gather the team "Yellow" family. LolDeWalt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackfinzo Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 After all my bad mouthing about European prices I ended up making purchase from Uk..... Plan to make a decent post with shipping cost taxes and reasons for choosing each particular tool etc as soon as I get a chance! Am just delighted to have the tools now and start getting some work done so they can start paying for themselves!!!! Everything in picture is new. I saved up for a long time thinking iv be making one large order from canada. long storey but canada turned out to be a no go while trying to pay... Fire away with any questions if you wish and as I said ill try get a post up in the next 2 weeks. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light I think is $50 after rebate and the multi x was $119 on sale, normally $180. The light im sure is a rebrand of something. Menards sells a snapon electric pressure washer as well. The clamps were from ace. The square and sharpening stone are from HD. I'm all over the place. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you have either option without having to carry a full set of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
