Channellock has recently introduced new and improved 9.5″ linemen’s pliers (#369). Their design engineers moved the plier’s pivot rivet closer to the cutter surfaces, giving the tool greater leverage and cutting power. This tool also features cross-hatched jaw serrations, a grooved crushing area, and knife-anvil style cutters (preferred over double-sharp cutters). These cutters can be used […]
Triple-Lock Socket, an Interesting All-in-One Socket Preview
The Triple-Lock Socket is a prototype all-in-one socket that can be used to remove a variety of fastener sizes, as well as those with rusted or damaged heads. There are actually two jaw profiles, one with serrated teeth (as shown) meant for removing damaged fasteners, and one with smooth faces meant to be used in “universal” […]
Your Go-To Screwdrivers?
Last week we talked about some of our favorite screwdrivers and asked about your favorites. Now we’re going to talk a bit about our go-to drivers. You know, the ones that are up front, within easy reach on the bench. For speed and production driving, I grab my SnapOn ratcheting driver (see the above photo, driver on […]

To finish off our first Favorite Screwdriver Week, we’ll take a look at Wera’s Kraftform Classic screwdrivers. Wera offers several tiers of screwdrivers, including the Classic, Comfort, Plus Lasertip, Insulated and Chiseltip handled driver styles.
Facom Ergotwist Screwdrivers – Another Favorite!
Continuing with our favorite screwdriver week, let’s take a look at Facom’s Ergotwist Combination screwdriver set. I have a 16 piece set of these Ergotwist drivers, and consider it to be my all time favorite. The handles are of a bi-material design that features an impact resistant top and softer grip for comfort.
SK’s Tri-Molded Screwdrivers
Continuing with our Favorite Screwdriver Week series, take a look at SK Hand Tool’s tri-molded screwdrivers (#79600), which I use everyday at work. The drivers in this 5-piece set have ergonomic tri-molded® handles that are extremely comfortable and easy on the hands. Tri-molded handles are formulated from three types of materials to provide impact resistance (even at lower […]
Wiha’s Orbit Screwdriver
In yesterday’s post, Alex mentioned that when preparing to adjust his headlights he had an overwhelming number of screwdrivers to choose from. So which did he use for the job? One of Wiha’s Orbit screwdrivers. These drivers have pivoting tips that allow up to 20° of offset, useful for hard-to-reach fasteners.
So How Do You Like Your Screwdrivers?
After driving around and blinding everyone on the road, I decided that it was time to adjust the headlights on my truck. When I opened the screwdriver drawer of my toolbox, I was momentarily overwhelmed with the many tools choices ready to tackle the task at hand. We all know how important it is to have the […]
Jackson Pulverizer – Concrete Busting Demo Hammer
Jackson’s Pulverizer is primarily a concrete demolition tool, but it’s multi-purpose enough to use for general demo work. The Pulverizer is 12.8″ long with a 1-1/2″ strike face and hefty 3-1/2 lb total weight. It also features a wedge for ripping through drywall, claw teeth for gripping and prying, a 2-inch scraper with large nail-puller head, […]
Offset Screwdrivers – Once You Need ’em, You’ll Love ’em
I’ve never really been a fan of offset screwdrivers – they just didn’t seem too convenient to me. Until now. There was a fastener I needed to reach in a really low-clearance area, and none of my usual low-profile drivers fit. None, except for the offset Phillips driver that sat unused in a drawer for a few years […]
New Pocket-Friendly Sog Micro ToolClip with Pliers
The ToolClip is the newest pocket-sized multi-tool in Sog’s growing lineup. Despite its size, Sog manages to pack a lot of features into the ToolClip – compact plier with wire cutter and spring-return, a knife blade, 2 screwdrivers, a file, and pocket clip. I’ve got to say, it looks pretty darn good. The list price is […]
PB Swiss Torx Set For an Unbelievably Low $15
Amazon has gone crazy with their PB Swiss tool pricing. Some of their product offerings have been priced ridiculously low lately (50% discount or more!). These items often jump back up in price after a single purchase is made, which is why we haven’t been mentioning these deals. BUT, we did find a great deal that […]
Wiha Pocket Folding Ruler Review
Wiha offers quite a few sizes and styles of folding rulers. Their smallest size, model #61601, is sized just right for stowing away in a pocket, tackle box, or tool box. These folding rulers are waterproof, flexible, and extremely durable. Or are they? Jeff was kind of enough to put one of these rulers through a […]
Thorsen Dog Bone Wrench Sets at Costco
After we posted about Channellock’s Mutli-Fit wrench set and Alex’s heads-up about Craftsman’s Dog Bone wrench set sale, Jeff spotted the Thorsen-branded Dog Bone multi-socket set at Costco. At $15-20 each, Dog Bone wrenches are a tough sell for a number of reasons. But $17 for the set of SAE and metric wrenches? That’s much more tempting. […]
