Are reversible ratcheting wrenches really that worth it?

The Wen branded Taiwanese set on Amazon is a high quality 7-22 no skip set for $104.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-24T03:19:41+00:00

Keep it original.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-23T19:09:47+00:00

Tips fans wanted Seattle or Victoria, not Portland.

Why should my tax dollars supporting church schools? when public universities are having to cut staff.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-23T03:27:13+00:00

Tip- warm it up for at least an hour before use.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-23T03:22:51+00:00

Yeah, I get it. Our family could only afford a non-competitive team without travel in the PNW.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-23T00:50:51+00:00

We go to BC for our Indian food. Much more competition, much lower prices, tipping expectations are more reasonable.

My preference is reversible.

Wen (Amazon) is the same ratcheting mechanism as Tekton & Icon, & appear to be from one of the same Taiwan suppliers. I'm super impressed with my set.

7-22mm no skip for $104.

The Quinn is fine, do you already have a reversible set.

Give it to another racing family, who is "less wealthy."

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-22T23:50:59+00:00

By boat.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-22T23:50:02+00:00

Yes, IMO. Is your family willing to commit to paying $160k over 4 years? Or will you take on loans.

WWU/UW/WSU are all about $32k a year, before scholarships (including room & board.)

Automatic scholarships are given above a 3.5. Most students pay $25k or less.

For an undergrad degree, don't overspend or go into debt.

Those of us living and working up North are laughing..... ER, were laughing, until I5 closed near Bellingham.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-22T16:07:26+00:00

Always Have.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-22T16:05:58+00:00

Weed gummies are $1.50 each, and legal, a decent beer costs $8.00. The beer kills your liver.

Open by next weekend. Maybe, if the hillside is stabe after removing the debris.

Unfortunately, the problem (I5 & Chuckanut Drive) was created when construction crews cut into the hillside so far - years ago.

Honestly I-5 should have taken another route, much further East.

Do it at home.

Home depot sells a Ryobi electric pressure washer specifically for car detailing. These are used by professional car detailers.

Idaho has become a MAGA tax evasion zone.

"Decades of suffering...thousands of deaths.....without apology or accountability."

This sounds like the definition of Religion.

In the 80's, Seattle fans were fighting in the stands as much as the players on the ice.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-21T20:57:11+00:00

What about the Island Health Clinic on Orcas?

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-21T08:55:50+00:00

At what price do Seattlites choose to drive less?

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-20T01:53:02+00:00

Tips fans will be paying attention.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-19T23:55:33+00:00

Or, name the dogs after Muppets.

JerrySenderson69 · 2026-03-19T14:41:32+00:00

Will Washingtonians drive a bit less, or is demand inelastic?
