They are great for tradies doing rough ins on new houses!

This Stanley ratcheting screw driver is great. I bought it because the hex sized screwdriver and Allen head bits fit into it. I wanted something that had greater reach and was easier to do up or undo Allen key bolts.
There are two sizes, short and long and it was only once I used it I found that the long extension is removable! So you effectively get the short version too. Bonus.
There are bits in the handle, but I've rarely used them.
Highly recommended of you hate removing and resetting Allen keys to tighten or remove bolts.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2020/06/6.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2020/06/7.jpg

Would wanna be Japanese Makita too, not from the chinese division.
They have stuff mate in England too! My 18v planer is English made. The Japanese stuff is definitely better quality than the Chinese toolsQuote:

Wow didn't know about the pommy factory. Have always preferred makita tools, and when i bought the rattle gun a few years ago I had to be particular. The good from Nippon. The not-so-good from Bat Soup central.Quote:

i just checked the actual tool Cuppa.Quote:

(8mm-27mm ) The heads are slightly larger than if they were 16 (or 8) individual spanners, but to date this has not proven a problem. I love the socket set +. Having it all in the case, each item with it's own place is a real luxury (for me). Many times I've been packing up & straight off noticed an item missing from it's designated spot - only to then find it laying in the grass or the sand.

However, probably the one single tool I would most not want to be without is one made by Jung. A pair of multigrips. They are so versatile, & these Jung ones are just so well designed compared to others I have had in the past. Great grip, great leverage, great ergonomics & does not get 'jammed up' like some of the cheaper designs. Chrome-vanadium. This is one of those tools that we probably shouldn't use for many of the tasks they get used for, but I trust this one. No idea where you'd buy one now though. A quick google for Jung Tools didn't find anything. I bought this probably 6 or 7 years ago from Total Tools. if you come across one grab it quick.

That's a bloody good looking multi grip Cuppa, solid as a bloody rock.
Has anyone used those sockets that are 1 size on 1 side and another size on the other? Wondering if they're any good???
Bet you typed that from your bat soup central panda foot blue crab samsung apple huawei etc! :) :)Quote:

Another highly versatile Travel Tool. Was using it a few minutes ago to clean out one of the usb C ports on my laptop, & as usual when using it, thought to myself this is one of those tools where nothing else can do the same job. I'd call it an essential travel tool.

@MudRunnerTD that bolt pack actually looks like a bargain for $110!
@Cuppa as someone who has never had air tools, can that blower run off a compressor (like you'd use for your tyres) or does it require a compressed air tank?
Yeah I can't remember what paid for it but I reckon it was about that. And at $110 it was %110 a bargain and saved me a heap of times to date. Sooo bloody handy.Quote:

If I may; @Cremulaor Mate, depends on your patience. Without an air tank it will take a shipload longer to slowly ‘fooff’ out your faithful paper filters versus blasting them with circa 100psi + of longer minutes of storage beyond a standard compressors pissy little 100ml of seconds.

These posts make me think long and hard about getting serious about the Sigma compressor endless air project again.Quote:

Have not actually tried it without the tank, but suspect @MB has described what it would be like to use without one. Some compressors would manage a better job than others but I reckon a tank is the go.Quote:

To blow the snot out of something needed we require the near opposite and or better a tank to volume store the ‘booofff’ release :-)

I have a container of assorted high tensile bolts too, they have been built up over the years every time I visit U-Pullit I always remove lots of bolts from the vehicle I am getting the part I need. They never check what is in your toolbox when you leave.Quote:

Just be careful. The last thing you want to be doing is blasting a paper element with 100psi. Put a hole in the element and its a dusted engine you will have. A good tap on the ground and a light air dusting from the inside to out is best.Quote:

Fair point Mr Mark Mate!Quote:
