Craftsman Ratcheting Elbow Wrenches Hands-on Review

Jul 8, 2010 Stuart 16 Comments

With their pivoting box ends, Craftsman’s ratcheting elbow wrenches are anything but ordinary. Possibly inspired by similarly styled indexable ratchets, these elbow wrenches are designed for use in tight spaces and situations where a fastener may be obstructed. Curious about whether these new wrenches were innovative, gimmicky, or both, we set out to review them. In the end, […]

C.H. Hanson Remedies Potential Ball Level Crosshair Issue!

Jul 5, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Last month we posted an update to our review of C.H. Hanson’s Precision Ball Level. In our experience, the ball level worked exactly as advertised, and looked to be very solidly made. In our update, we discussed a slight design flaw that made new levels susceptible to damage under certain conditions – perhaps careless handling at […]

There are times when ordinary soap and water just won’t cut the grease off your hands. In those cases, reach for a pumice-powered cleaner. Lava describes their product pretty adequately – whatever you’re into, Lava gets it out. I prefer to use Lava bars, but they do have a liquid version available as well. Lava Heavy […]

Dewalt Circular Saw Cameos in Old Spice Ad

Jul 2, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

I just watched one of Old Spice’s new amusing/patronizing/strange commercials, and spotted a brief Dewalt cameo. The actor uses the Dewalt 28V cordless circular saw as a prop, walking and cutting with it. Cool. Watch the commercial I can’t tell whether the saw is Dewalt’s 28V or 36V version. What do you guys think?

SK Hand Tools Declares Bankruptcy!!

Jun 29, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

It’s official, SK Hand Tools has declared bankruptcy. Rumor of the bankruptcy was relayed by a GarageJournal forum member, and then confirmed by another after receiving an email from an SK distributor. It is also rumored that Ideal Industrials, who recently acquired Pratt-Read and Western Forge, is interested in buying up the company. We have our fingers crossed. If […]
