Yeah, kinda funny when the display ratchet is broken. I think the solution to plastic parts is to run quickly to Sears and buy some ratchet repair kits. They cost 1 cent apiece. Yep, 100 for a dollar

Ummm, take it back. FACOM tools are great. My ratchets are FACOM. 72 teeth = 5 degrees of swing, plastic handles are comfortable and you can press ON the top, swing the ratchet with pressure applied

One thing about the "ratcheting" combo wrenches. They're not Craftsman-branded. And if we had any doubts about the post from a few weeks ago that mentioned Danaher as the maker of Craftsman tools, tu

What a neat idea. But you got me a little confused (quoted text). It sounds to me like you're using a 3' whip hose and a 3' (muffler) inner tube, correct? I don't use a whip hose on any of mine and t

What I've used is a 1-2-3 block that had the appropriately drilled holes & tapped threads. Clamp it to the surface and get started. Works for those intricate pieces although I've had to clamp the pie

Thinking of ordering the Armstring "Eliminator" ratchet set. That's the one that uses a "thru" socket. Looks like it would fit in smaller spaces better. (Metric 10-19mm = $55) Also thinking of gettin

Well, 12 points are good for when you have a small space to work in and can't swing the arm of the ratchet very far. I use FACOM 72-tooth handles and a 12-point does come in handy sometimes... But th

FACOM makes a really nice handle that does the same thing. Works exactly the same way and takes us much less space. And it's probably a little (granted, not much but a little) cheaper than a full set
