When I was an automotive technician for Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge there were just some tools that were necessities that I just couldn't live without. The craftsman metric ratchet wrenches were one of those tools. These wrenches made my life and my job so much easier, they saved me so much time which in the automotive business, time is money. Some of the cheaper ratchet wrenches don't ha...

This was an impulse buy at the last minute made while shopping for other parts. When I saw it I like the concept and upon examining it I found it to be very well made. It fits 17mm, 19mm(3/4"), 21mm(13/16") & 23mm(7/8") 14" x 13.5" inches in length, I bought it and lay in my tool box till the next time I needed it ,when I tried it I was very surprised at the strengt...

I have had my Ingersol-Rand Air Impact Wrench for a few years now. It is a half-inch drive and runs on air. This tool is mostly good for automotive use. It is good for taking off and putting back on your lug-nuts on your wheel when changing your tire. It has a trigger that you press in as far as you need for the desired amount of strength. It has a forward and reverse. To use it you just attach...

I bought the 4 piece Mastercraft wrench set from Canadian Tire for about $25, the vice grip is about the only piece worth the money. Mastercraft tools really are hit or miss sometimes, this set just wasnt it for me. The adjustable wrench stopped adjusting almost immediately I had to spray it with wd-40. The other two pieces were nothing special, the handles wear down fast with heavy use. The vi...

My brother-in-law purchased this pipe wrench for the purpose of loosening an extremely hard to remove bolt on a classic car he is restoring.  The pipe wrench itself seems to be of sturdy construction, though it was not able to do the job my brother-in-law wanted done.  But he mentioned that no wrench he used in his collection of tools was able to work on this particular bolt very well...

The Wrench Force Mini bicycle pump is good for emergency use to carry with you on your bike.  With this and a patch kit you could repair a tube and get enough air in to safely ride home or to a gas station.  This is not a pump you would want for your only pump, or for regular topping off of tires.This pump is regularly priced at $24.99.  There is no way that it is worth that amou...

Hey looking for a cool gift for the handyman type person? This is a gadget pure and simple from Black and Decker. The main idea is a wrench you dont have to adjust manually. Just push the button on the side and it tightens or loosens all on it's own.So does it work? In a word...yes. It is indeed a second's work to tighten your wrench or undo it. It is a pretty sturdy looking tool, nice ...

This has got to be one of my favorite tools! Equip this thing with a 3/8" square drive bit and you can do many of the the job you need to do without the restriction of being tethered to a compressor. I use this impact on a daily basis doing mechanical maintenance on production machinery. For the majority of what I do this impact is plenty. I don't think you could change a tire on your truck...

The best and most heart wrenching documentary was United 93 because it is one of the best and saddest documentary that I have seen so far and honestly I really enjoyed it because it really showed me how great this movie is and I suggest everyone watch it. The thing that I really enjoyed about United 93 is that it really shows us the major details of what happened during 9/11 and that was extrem...

A few months ago I bought a Companion tool set at a very low price, and after a few months use I am ready to review the product. As this was dirt cheap I did not expect that much from it, but I can tell you I proved to be wrong! The toolset contains everything you need for everyday work around the house, no fancy things, but all the basics are covered. When I first opened it I was surp...

Few things are worse than being on a boat, ready for a dive and realizing that you don't have the tool you need to tighten a hose or make some other minor repair.    'Scuba Tool - The Diver's All-in-One Tool' is the solution to this potential disaster. .When closed, the Scuba Tool is only slightly longer than four inches,  an inch wide, and 1.5 inches high.&n...
