Adjustable Wrench with Built-in Ratchet

Jan 11, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

Take a look at this KR Tools adjustable wrench with built-in 1/4″ drive ratchet that we came across. Quite a few thoughts come to mind, but at no point did we look at the tool thinking “boy, we could really use a tool like that.” We’re quite sure that some people would be able to […]

Lost in Translation – Erem Wire Strippers with “Magic”

Jan 7, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Product description and pricing errors are not at all that uncommon on online stores, but some of them are downright amusing. Take, for example, these Erem wire strippers that are claimed to feature magic. That’s right, at the bottom of the list, it clearly says that magic is one of these wire strippers’ main product […]

We’re a “Bit” Disappointed Today

Jan 6, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

In case you didn’t catch our lame attempt at humor, a particular drill bit issue has created a bit of annoyance for us. It all started about one year ago when we purchased a “G” sized jobbers length twist drill bit for a small project. The project was delayed and put on the backburner, and […]

Five Tell-Tale Signs That You Are a Tool Enthusiast

Jan 6, 2010 Stuart 14 Comments

You may be a tool enthusiast if: You sometimes dream about tools.* Every long distance out of town trip or vacation must include visiting at least one tool shop. You get easily frustrated when you see people misusing the wrong tools for the job. No, slotted screwdrivers are NOT crowbars, and a butterknife is NOT […]

Jan 5, 2010 Stuart Discuss

In just two weeks, the International Builders’ Show kicks off in Las Vegas, and it will continue from the 19th thru the 22nd. Unfortuantely, due to budget and timing constraints we won’t be making it to the show, but we’ve been told that it’s going to be quite an exciting event this year. For full details, […]

HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench Price Drop

Jan 5, 2010 Stuart 12 Comments

ToolGuyd reader and frequent commenter uthscaedu gave us a heads-up that the Edpedition Tools HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench that we had recently posted about had dropped in price to $21.50. We’re not sure if this is a temporary or permanent price drop, but $21.50 is a  bit more attractive than the previous price of $25. This product […]

Beware After-Christmas Sales

Dec 26, 2009 Stuart 3 Comments

After seeing lackluster sales flyers and a few horrendous “After Christmas Sales” we decided to post a brief warning. Beware of crafty marketing and tricky advert wordings! The particularly egregious “sale” that prompted this post was an “After Christmas Clearance Sale” that featured the Rockwell Jawhorse. The sale price was $177.75, which reflects a whopping […]

We’re huge fans of Mechanix branded mechanics’/work gloves – they fit well, last long, and feel great. While we haven’t yet tried Mechanix’ cold weather gloves, they’re currently on sale at Amazon for 20%-off, so we’ll give them a try.
