Many moons ago when I was a travelling wrench I always used Craftsman taps largely because when you were in bumblefuck USA you used to always be able to find a SEARS. I once won a $100 bet by tapping over 100 M4 blind holes using a drill without breaking a tap.
Where do you order from. Need get shipped to USA. I already have the park tool for bsa and just need the taps. Do the taps fit the park tool?
Any particular reason? Partial to split dies?
Habit. What I was taught by machinists at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory.
Pick up one of these and the gear wrench 3/8 or 1/2 adapter as well. Allows you to run a hex die from a drill or impact.
I found mine on a random Dutch website. I found it through image searching. I have no idea if they fit the Park Tool.
Returning one would seem the more ethical option...
No, the second was sent as an apology of sorts for the month delay.
Gearwrench have a 144t, I haven't tried one but if they are reliable it would be handy.
Yeah don't do snap on...I had 2 ratchets keep breaking and a ratcheting breaker bar with swivel head keep going out...had the 2 piston jack 1 piston went belly up seal wise 6 months paid $550 for it on sale...Gearwrench have a 144t, I haven't tried one but if they are reliable it would be handy.
I think Snap-On have some crazy numbers too, but I'm not Snap-On rich. At some point a socket has to be hit on to a bolt with a lump hammer to make shit happen, fuck doing that with a $50 socket, I'll keep my cheapies and treat them as consumables
HF has a jack that's a copy of the snap on made same place just a smidge less high end internals...works amazing looks identical still $300+ but alot less than snaop and a buddy has one that's been solid since day 1. Damn good jack.
Nice! I have that same one.
It's getting replaced, I agreed to a $150 tool voucher then pulled the drawers to make it easier to lift and there was more rust along the seams.
I recommend adding a cheap gas sniffer wand to your kit. I caught a few leaks that developed in my setup via the sniffer.
Good Idea, will order one today.
Are they the scissors that reviewers find dangerous? There's a wire cutter that can somehow kill you....
New arrivals. A set of double ended flex hex and torx similar to the SEK posted earlier. Saw those and when I went looking for them on Amazon.jp found these instead.
Took the 3mm off and swapped the T25 in. The T25 - 4mm and 5mm - 6mm will be the perfect pairing for all bike work. These have some heft to them, I wonder if they will feel like overkill for using on bike stuff.
Tagged some Engineer made in Japan Tetsuwan scissors onto the order. Heard great things about these scissors.
