New tool thread.

[Anonymous No.2844322]

Looks like nobody's made a new tool thread since the board got nuked, and people are already posting independent threads for their new purchases, so I guess I'll do it.

Been wanting some decent nutfuckers for a while and this 3-pack of Korean-made Kleins was on sale for $26.99 so I grabbed it.

Also grabbed the Icon knife when I was at HF yesterday. In the process of moving and everything except my Sebenza is deep in storage, and I've had too many close calls with that thing so I needed a beater. It's really nice for $40, and yeah I know it's a clone of a Todd Begg design but I don't really care, the original is fugly anyway.

I guess turning screws with your anus is pretty rebellious.

Really though I never got the Wera handle shape, I see what they're going for but personally nothing has ever beaten the classic rounded square Snap-On style hard handles for me, works well from various angles and doesn't immediately get full of gunk and then start peeling like the rubberized stuff does, and if I can't get enough grip on them I probably need to be using a different tool anyway. I guess it might be different if you're mostly doing clean stuff like electronics assembly or something though.

yeah I don't get what the fuck is up with the plastic on those pos wera handles. I got one of those yellow/pink/orange ones as a gift and it's already ruined after just a year of light use. I'm convinced this stuff is just made for asians who want to appear like they have a toolset and for reddit posters. even their individual bits are not that long lasting, I ruined a square bit and a philips bit just doing demolition on a large kitchen ....

while I don't know if that was their intent, if you search wiha in many specialized tool shops' sites, or even big box ones, if they don't carry wiha products, you often end up getting wera results, at least in my experience.

I gotta use them more. I’m not impressed after the couple times I used em. Not bad, but nothing special.

Wiha just works, and the hard plastic on the rear makes it easy to spin on your palm. With big hands, the grippy part of the Wera hits your skin and can’t get it spinning to start a screw fast. Vessel balldriver looks goofy but is very satisfying IRL. The Felo handle is great too.

Everything Reddit has recommended was office worker light duty crapid be better off with a snap-on or Matco option almost everytime

The wera tool hack they’re you take the screw driver and the wera bits and make a pocket ratchet pails in comparison to the snap-on dual 80 1/4” body and 3/8” anvil converted ratchet

Then people always bitch about proce, but the wera jack costs more than the snap-on ratchet it’s almost $180 for all the bits and all the sockets and the conversion ratcheting handle parts to build the unit

You could buy the snap-on ratchet and carry around a rail of caterpillar sockets and be better off

It's a real shame what happened to Leatherman, they used to be reasonably priced and really well built, now they're shit that rusts if you look at them wrong and cost 200 bucks and they're way bulkier and heavier than the '90s tools. My dad got me a PST2 when I was in boy scouts and I loved that thing, wish I'd never lost it because nothing they've ever made since comes close for an EDC tool. I remember when the Rebar came out everybody hailed it as the second coming of the PST but it was abject garbage, tweaked the whole handle trying to use the phillips driver to change a bench grinder wheel, the cutters could hardly get through tig rod that my Victorinox Spirit handled easily, and then the thing started rusting out of control.

I forgot I got a demagnetizitimitor as well. Works great with my Wiha drivers, but I tried to stick a Klein in there and the PH2 turned into a PZ2.

Oh and the heat shrink connectors. I got the solder seal ones, and they sort of pissed me off the first couple times I tried to use them. After the 2nd try, I’m almost positive it needs flux. Without flux, the solder never actually gets into the copper wire and the damn heat shrink wants to burn before the solder does shit.

I wanted an easy one step good connection, but if they need flux, I might as well solder the wires and use regular heat shrink.

I’ll try the crimp + heat shrink and them try the flux with the solder seal and see which ends up being better.

[Bepis !n/ZnkB9jUw No.2844832]

I think I bought a bunch from banggood for dirt cheap. To be fair they normally get clogged up with shit before they blow up or wear out and I just chuck it and start a new one without feeling bad. Same with those little roloc sanding disks. The roloc flap wheels actually are pretty impressive.

The Hercules branded consumables don’t seem awful… although my experience with it has only been a few driver bits. The small torx and hex fit quite well. But for the price of em, I would just go Milwaukee or DeWalt if it’s something they sell.

Also pass on these solder connection ideas. Did best case scenario, thinner wire (22awg), lots of flux, dropped in a chunk of leaded solder, and then slow heat. At the time the heat shrink starts burning, the leaded solder I added melted pretty good but the ring of solder barely softened up. I think it needs some super low temp solder + flux + super high temp heat shrink + silicone wires maybe? I don’t think you can get the copper wire hot enough to wick up the solder without the heat shrink tube burning or fucking the insulation on regular wire.

Also the heat shrink gets super soft when trying to melt the solder, so the copper strands want to poke through.

Maybe there’s a quality brand that works, but definitely not these generic Amazon ones.

Last time I was there I noticed them rebranding “Pittsburgh pro” $8.99 impact sockets as “Quinn brand” that were $33.99 she just removed the price tag, removed the green labeled one’s replaced them with blue labeled ones and put the green ones on clearance shelves, they looked exactly the same in different packaging

My dad really likes using those soft ass harbor freight Phillips bits that come in those plastic storage containers

They’re so soft and shitty especially in his corded chuck key required black and decker drill that until very recently I had assumed all bits in drills were useless

I bought snap on screw drivers because I grew up using those orange handle ones, task force from Lowe’s or the benchtop ones from Kmart or husky and stanley ones I assumed all screwdrivers were shit and all the same

The snap-on, nepros, vessel and TTI brands that you recommend have really changed my perspective on “all tools are shit just have to work with them” mind set

Some tool’s definitely aren’t shit but 99.9% of it is Gearwrench, harbor freight , anything that isn’t on a tool truck is absolutely shit and I definitely grew up with shit tools to have learned that

At a certain point, when you go with decent mid range stuff that’s plenty good enough for weekenders and enthusiasts, it’s either trash out of the box and needs to be returned within the Amazon exchange period, or you break it doing something retarded and aren’t that upset to shell out $6 for a new socket or $17 on a pair of pliers. I don’t even factor in the warranty that much with hand tools, I’ll buy the quality it takes to withstand the type of work I’ll be doing with it.

Or you can spend 2x-3x as much for the same tool with a tool truck stamp and have the worry free replacement… but it’s not going to pay off until you have broken the tool 3 times.

Everything has value. Some things more than others. Your snap-on crap will be worth way less than you paid for it when you need to liquidate them for cash again like a nigger since you seem to need to do that often.

You strike me as the type of faggot that has rarely if ever actually broken a tool and yet you act like it's the end-all be all to be able to warranty that shit with snap-on. What do you do after you break your one and only tool? Sit there with your thumb up your ass and wait for the snap on guy to come around? Meanwhile people that actually get shit done have backups of backups. If I break a wrench I walk 15 feet and grab another one from my multiples I have on hand at any time and keep on keeping on without giving one flying fuck. If I get to the point where I'm getting low on a certain size I will take note and buy more to re-stock.

They have had Knipex on/off at Lowe’s a couple times at Lowe’s over the past 5-10 years. They had a couple options in plumbing years back, then got rid of em, then when they cleared out Southwire from the sparky section and brought in Ideal, they had some Knipex with it. The $11 pair of leftover Cobras was from that, but it was only at like 30%-50% of stores. They have pretty much all had the tiny Wiha power wing the past year or two, but it’s mostly just bits now.

About 1/3 or 1/2 of Home Depot stores had some Knipex a couple years ago too. They had like 3-4 options up until a few years back.

I'm looking for the cheapest pliers wrench with the biggest capacity. I've found these Lenox ones on Amazon (LXHT90540) that are 3 inches of capacity for 40 bucks.

I know Knipex has the huge 16 inch pliers wrench with 3 3/8 inch opening, but that's about 120 bucks, three times the price for 3/8th an inch. Maybe if it was going to my dick, but for wrench capacity that's not worth it.

Any better deal out there? Trying to sort through them sucks since it's usually overall length in the name and not jaw capacity.

I really like the Klein wrenches I got the other day so I decided to try a couple more of their products. Then I got thinking about all of the Knipex hype I've been hearing for years and how trashed my old Channellocks are and next thing I knew a pair of Cobras was in my cart as well.

Side note but why the hell is it so hard to get metric flip sockets? Damn near everything uses metric these days and the big box stores carry a whole bunch of different SAE options for these things, but I had to go on Amazon to get the metric Klein one - which unlike SAE doesn't seem to be available with a handle either - and it seems like Milwaukee doesn't even make them. I know they're mostly marketed to electricians and linemen who still deal with SAE stuff but there are tons of automotive, technician, and general homeowner applications for the metric version of something like this, hell I was prompted to get it by the annoyance of having to drag my whole socket set around when taking a bunch of patio furniture apart the other day.

Yeah I think it would especially make sense for them now that they've become Lowes' "pro" line, and they're probably also motivated to go steal some of Milwaukee's market with how much the red guys have been pushing into their traditional sparky trades.

And yeah, I can't wait to get the Cobras. I've handled Knipex stuff a few times and it seems super nice and it was hard to say no when I realized they're less than $40 on Amazon. Hopefully I can resist immediately ordering replacements for the rest of my pliers after I get them.

On the tool storage subject, I've been using a janky old Homak like pic related for years, was originally my dad's, but I've definitely outgrown it and I'm gonna leave it behind when I move in a few months and then upgrade to something bigger and more modern, thinking about maybe one of those wide carts with the work bench top.

Another thing “Carlos” did that I always thought was a good idea, he drives a clean Silverado with no bed cover and doesn’t load it with bullshit. So he got an enclosed trailer like 12ft long, door on the rear opens into the ramp, he has lights and a little work bench in the trailer, and all the big tools and work material can go in there when you have a big job.

Not a new tool, but I just fixed a 60 year old King Dick wrench, now I am going to oil the joint on my (equally ancient) Heart brand pliers. These tools were my father's and while I do most of the work around the house, especially after his stroke last year, we still have bonding moments over DIY stuff.

I know that I should probably buy my own tools (aside from micro tools which I have plenty of for working on electronics and hobby grade items), but I built a diorama for a couple of small model airplanes. I bought everything when he was in the hospital and finished it about a month and a half ago. He nearly broke down in tears when he saw it, not that I am good at building models or anything (the modellers on /toy/ say I am shit, if that matters). I have him to thank really because one of the most important things he taught me was patience, I took my time and got everything square on a scratchbuilt hangar.

I am here to ask (please excuse the slight hijack), but one of the nicest things my father ever did was make a rubber powered balsa wood model for me. Every weekend and every day during summer we used to go to the schoolyard and fly gliders and other smaller models off of a hill. I want to return the favor and build one for him, even if just for static display.

I need a small builders square and a pin vise set. Any suggestions as to brands or sources? (I used to use Hobbico and Micro-Mark for my hobby tools, but only Micro-Mark is left with a reduced catalogue).

Also any ideas on the model airplane, I am looking at Dumas, Guillow, Sig, Brodak/Dare and Easy Built Models kits, these are all established brands that are made in either the U.S or Canada (not that it matters). He likes aircraft (that are not jets) made up to the 1950s/1960s.

I finally caved and got a top of the line Fein multimaster after so many of my other multitools got on my nerves or failed. I use them quite regularly as a flooring installer, and recently got into cabinet installations too with another company, so my multitools get a lot of use for those awkward jobs. This thing is amazing, like a quarter of the vibration I was getting from my last Milwaukee that died on me (and I warrantied and then sold). Fein blades are extremely expensive though, Fein has kikes setting their prices, but this Starlock thing is so simple to use.

[Anonymous No.2850543]

Also got this kit on super sale at my local tools shop, can never have too many drills and impact drivers, and the batteries basically came with it for free on top of the crazy discount. the kit ended up being cheaper than buying just the tools-only of each, and it came with two batteries! also the impact driver is 2024 serial with the gear case, so it hopefully won't blow up on me like the last few of this generation of M18 fuel impacts.

[Anonymous No.2850546]

>>2850543
This is why I mentioned M18 Fuel Impact Driver issues:
> Milwaukee had an issue with the original gear case being too hardened and not properly tempered, a compromise they didn't think about when they increased the speed and reduced the side. Original part number is 14-29-5377 where the anvil would seize and teeth would break and shatter. Smoke was also common. They quietly changed the design in late 2023 and the new part number is 14-29-5370. Any of the impact drivers of this gen4 that is coming in for warranty has the part swapped regardless. The service center said they made the change at the factory level in December 2023. Check serial numbers, 2024 models should be fine. Any serial that doesn't start with M67A(F)24 is a ticking Murphy's Law impact driver, inevitably will fail in the exact same way as most of these have failed for over two years or so. The bastards at Milwaukee didn't even put an advisory out about this on their parts list, just changed the number and any of these that come in, they quietly swap out the gear case too. https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-26-2990.pdf

I found myself really missing the Icon knife I lost a few weeks ago so I bought another one. One thing I noticed is that there's a lot of variation in the colored ring around the pivot, my old one and two of the three in stock when I bought the new one were very pinkish, but this one's actually a true red. Otherwise it's the same as the old one, blade centering might be *slightly* worse but it's still fine and hands down the best $40 folder I've ever seen.

That flashlight is mostly filler. For that money, you could probably watch the flash sales and get the Fuel drill + impact with a free tool like the Hackzall or ratchet and that kit will have better batteries. The Fuel kit is also a hammer drill I believe. So it’s up to you, I don’t imagine the brushed non-fuel hackzall will do a ton of work on the supplied batteries.

Depends what your priorities are.

>>2852980
That’s the fun thing about Harbor Freight. They don’t manufacture anything themselves, so certain tools are going to have different item #s as new batches come in from different manufacturers. And without a doubt, the new batch is going to be cheaper because HF found an Asian factory that will do it for a lower price with the last batch.

I witnessed this by taking apart the blue mag lights and multimeters that they used to give away for free. Over time there was a lower and lower parts count inside the devices and you could see where they were trying to shave off pennies here and there and leave the consumer with the bare minumum that would survive the 90-day warranty period. Like they straight up stopped using resistors for the LEDs in the lights, banking on the fact that the cheapest possible batteries in the thing couldn’t give it enough current to fry the LEDs within a handful of uses.

I think in this case it's just the inherent variability of red anodizing. I've got experience with that myself, at my old race shop we had a few of our own-branded products, control arms and things like that, which we designed and tested but had manufactured by local machine shops. We had an absolute hell of a time getting red stuff anodized, took us 3 or 4 companies (a couple of which insisted that a true red ano was impossible) before we found one that could make them red and not pink consistently and even within batches from them there was some noticeable variation if you put them all side-by-side.

Although a 25” breaker bar makes the thing I got pretty long.

I mean 99% of the time you're using the same 5 sockets, and the others just sit there taking up space. I thought about putting the set in my service cart, but no fucking way I'd be wasting all that space on unused sockets. So it sits in an ammo can with my extra socket sets.

A standard set with no skips up to 1-1/4 or so is no problem. Metric sets can get right fucked though. One more reason standard is better.

2 cases of cubitron flap wheels from scamazon warehouse for $80. grinding wheels are always a gamble from there. about half the time, only a single disc shows up when it was supposed to be a case of 10. occasionally its a win like this though

i havent used them but theyre probably hot shit. the suicide cutoff wheels are on par with green corps for life but cut faster. i like norzon plus hard wheels but dont use many. my goto besides flappers is saitech ultimate 1/8" pipeline combo cut/grind wheels. theyre the shit for feathering tacks and stops, grinding wagon tracks, notching parts, etc

Following up on these now thay they've come in and I've used them: Chang did surprisingly well. Finish is good, backdrag is reasonably low. All of them were straight and feel solid. From pictures I thought the offset box ends were a 0° offset, they're actually about a 15° offset. This makes them a nice compliment to my capri 0° offset box end wrenches, they are also longer compared to the same sized capri wrenches, so I have a whole new variety of lengths and access angles added into the wrench drawer. I got a chance to use the 15mm, 17mm and 18mm while working on a round baler today, they did just fine. No opportunity to really test the antislip design, but still impressed with the purchase tbqhwyf

Look at the price you’re actually paying for most of that stuff and it’s not any better than the Chinese made lifetime warranty of Husky and Kobalt. Harbor Freight can compare their pliers to Knipex all they want, but when they perform like Irwins and cost as much as Irwins, are you really coming out ahead?

The only thing worth buying at HF anymore would maybe be certain jacks if/when they’re on sale and a couple specialty tools if you need to fix something right now and can’t wait for next day Amazon

The only avt brushless sawzall Makita makes is this one, $400 CAD tool only. In fact, I don't think there's a single brushless corded recip saw left on the market, or was ever introduced.

Fencing pliers. Drive staples with the hammer side, pull staples with the claws in the jaws or the hook end. Grab twisted barbed wire with the jaws and leverage them around a post with the curved top section and cut in the notches on either side of the hinge. They are a must for fencing IMHO.

I have built many miles of barbed wire fence and every time I have ever used fencing pliers they just pissed me off. Too cumbersome to use. Linesmans are way easier to use tbqhwyf, at least where T-post and barbed wire are concerned. If I used wood posts & steeples I might come to appreciate them more but I don't.

There is no real reason to own a corded drill in 2024. The only reason to have a corded drill is if you’re mixing multiple 5gal buckets of paint or mud every day. Any modern cordless drill will be far better for any and all projects you would need a drill for.

Soon to be a new tool for me. Several months ago I was drinking and seething over a job where I needed a small form factor straight-tip prybar and damaged two small screwdrivers trying to improvise. I like my tekton mini prybars so I wrote their customer support with a brief message "I would like to voice interest in a straight-tip variant of the mini prybars, thanks", and the next day I got a reply along the lines of "I'll pass it along" and now look what we have here. I feel obligated to buy at least two of them.

Mayhew has had them for a minute. USA made too. Channellock, Mayhew, and Tekton all have some USA made pry bars and picks and screwdrivers that look like maybe they’re coming from the same factory.

Oh I agree, that and all the safety regulations and epa hoops anyone in the states has to jump through to even think about starting manufacturing something here. Then there's licensing and insurance.

Yup
*cracks open a beer, with his hammer, with his screwdriver, corner of a piece of wood, lighter, tape measure, level, the second beer etc.*
Yeah, I mean it doesn’t really hurt to have one, and the SAK type ones also double as a can opener, but I don’t get it why they’re the priority when there’s literally thousands of ways to open a beer.
Not sure about your hammer idea, I doubt that this will work but I really don’t understand how no one adds a proper bit adaptor to their knife/multitool. If any, you get some proprietary solution and a slotted and Phillips bit. Sure, it’s gonna be a make-do solution, so I’m willing to use PH on PZ, but what about torx?

Yeah it flush cuts on pine without masking so it's already earned it's keep in my book and I keep thinking of random things to use it for. It was maybe a bit slow going through 1/8 aluminum. I was expecting it to whiz through like a hacksaw but it took its sweet time lol. Good enough for me tho.

Blade choice is even more important here compared to similar tools. A carbide blade will absolutely zip through thinner aluminum for example, while the wood blades are terrible for that and get ruined with even a little metal.

[Kevin Van Dam !ZNBx60Gj/k No.2860142]

What does “Flush Cut” even mean? The cutting edge is on the backside of the thing so when you think “tapered” and “flush cut”, what do you all think? I figured the grind was more towards a flush cut at the end, so beefy deep in the jaws and more delicate at the tip. But obviously “flush cut” doesn’t mean what I think it means when it comes to cutters.

Tempted to grind like the top 1/3 and sacrifice these things to the bench grinder gods and see what happens.
