Stercorarius Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Oh shoot, nice deal on the pry bars. I'd grab them if I didn't already have a different brand. 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. 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.

Can keep carrying a socket set and just 1 of these handles instead of a whole set of nut drivers and socket set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a handle like that, what I'm saying is that some nut drivers can accept screws that are DEEPER than a deep well socket. They're literally hollow almost the entire way of the tool.

jeffmcmillan Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Milwaukee also makes a set that are hollow through the entire handle so you can actually run a nut up threaded rod. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-SAE-HollowCore-Nut-Driver-Set-7-Piece-48-22-2507/204456640 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 They're just expensive! I probably should have bought the Milwaukees when MCM Electronics had them on clearance for like $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Yellow Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ordered a Franklin Prosensor 710 tonight on eBay. Seems like the easiest and one of the better stud finders. Really would want team yellow's wall scanner, but it's pretty pricey especially when I won't be using it much and they don't sell it in Europe.

rrich1 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Router came in today. Not bad for $120 shipped. I thought it came with either a bag or case but guess not. Looks like I'll have to go get one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was torn between those three as well. The price basically decided it for me. There was at least a $40 difference. I figured I could use that money towards any bits or other things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
