A Glimpse at Some of Iron Man’s Tools!

Oct 4, 2010 Stuart Discuss

So what kind of tools does Tony Stark go for? For starters, it appears he has a thing for Snap-on. With deep pockets like his, that’s to be expected. A Ridgid pipe wrench makes an appearance, and at one point he mentions Bridgeport by name. Here’s a list of what I spotted thus far along with a […]

Lutz 15-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver

Sep 28, 2010 Stuart 20 Comments

Long-time reader Joe sent us a comment recommending the Lutz 15-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver. Joe writes: I was on vacation and had to assemble a ton of flat pack furniture and picked this up at the local Ace. I have used ratcheting screwdrivers before and they always seemed clunky and cheap. This little screwdriver made the […]

Wiha Measure-Up Screwdrivers Review

Sep 21, 2010 Jeff 5 Comments

Wiha recently released new screwdrivers based off their SoftFinish cushion grip drivers. These new Measure-Up screwdrivers feature inch and metric measuring scales on the shafts of the drivers. Initially I was skeptical that these new drivers were just another “gimmicky’ tool but I was soon proven wrong, as you will see in the following hands-on review.

Black & Decker Ratcheting ReadyWrench (Dog Bone Wrench)

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Black & Decker’s ratcheting ReadyWrench takes their highly successful ReadyWrench dog bone all-in one style wrench to the next level. Like the original, the ratcheting ReadyWrench can also fit 16 fastener sizes in 8 sockets, but appears to be more compact and has a handy (15°?) offset at both ends.

Craftsman Ratcheting Elbow Wrenches Review Update

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Back in July, we reviewed Craftsman’s new ratcheting elbow wrenches. After a reader commented that a wrench appeared bent in one of the photos, I went ahead and examined each wrench in the set. I then asked around and examined a few more wrenches, and ultimately discovered that there was no glaring issues with the wrenches. […]

Lindstrom Precision Tools Beat the Springs Out of Other Mini Pliers

Sep 16, 2010 Stuart 9 Comments

Our post on cheap mini pliers caught the attention of Lindstrom, who then sent us two cutters and two pliers for evaluation and comparison. After using them for a bit, I can honestly say that they beat the springs off all the other precision and mini pliers that I have ever used. Calling them tools is […]
