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 […]

Extech Video Borescope & Wireless Inspection Camera

Jun 28, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Compared to a non-wireless inspection tool, a wireless borescope allows for more convenient or remote viewing. What’s the point of whipping out a gooseneck inspection camera if you cannot easily see the screen! When I found out that Dewalt was including a wireless inspection camera with their upcoming 12V MAX product line launch, I immediately […]

Wright Flex-Head Ratchets

Jun 28, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Looking for a Wright 3440 3/8″ compact palm-size flex-head ratchet similar to the one featured in our Most Valuable Tool contest? The first online Wright distributor that comes to my mind is Ohio Power Tool, which also offers a pretty decent selection of Wright ratchets and other hand tools. The compact 3440 ratchet is intended for […]

Over the course of the last few weeks, I’ve been seeing more and more new Bostitch hand tools popping up at my local Lowes. Included in the wave of new tools are hammers, pry bars, shears, cold chisels, punches, nail pullers, masonry chisels, and a few other tools I have yet to see in person. […]

Knife Rights Contests NYC DA’s Claims & Tactics

As expected, Knight Rights released a statement in response to the mass seizure of folding knives from retail stores by the NYC DA’s office. Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter said: “the outrageous claims made by [District Attorney] Vance to rationalize his shakedown of honest knife retailers during his press conference were all deliberate misrepresentations or […]

NYC’s War on Knives

Jun 21, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

The other day I read that sporting goods and home improvement stores were being forced to contribute substantial resources to some type of “fund” because of the types of knives they were selling. Now, it looks like the Manhattan DA is going on a miseducated spree confiscating “illegal” knives at Home Depot and other stores.

Daily Deal – Black & Decker Ready Wrench

Jun 16, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

We’ve commented about Black & Decker’s Ready Wrench before, and we’re not huge fans of it. 16 metric and SAE socket wrench sizes in 8 sockets? That just doesn’t add up! In any case, the Ready Wrench dropped in price to below $20. Despite our disdain for it, the Ready Wrench seems to be decent for infrequent uses, […]

C.H. Hanson Precision Ball Level Durability Update

We reviewed C.H. Hanson’s Precision Ball Level a few months ago, and have used it a few times since then. Thus far, the ball level seems to be in great shape. However, as mentioned in comments to the review, the levels on the shelves at local home improvement retailers (mainly Lowes) are in terrible shape, with rubbed-off crosshairs. […]
