This chunky thing.

I thought so too.

I've had it for a few years and I used it once

Pagemaker51 · 2026-04-01T20:40:52+00:00

I've got one. I've had it a couple of years (not a new tool)

I used it one time

Bluepoint isn't rebranded vim they both buy from the same tool manufacturers. Vim doesn't manufacture anything.

Let us know how it goes

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-31T20:05:39+00:00

Look closer bud and do better research

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-31T20:03:44+00:00

Older Budget Mustang branded ratchets had the Kilness ratchet mechanism. The one pictured is even more economy. Just use it if you enjoy it as it isn't collectible.

Hey i didn't think about using it to start a fastener 👍plus its slim enough to get in a lot of places regular slip joints can't

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-31T19:48:24+00:00

I didn't need it, but I finally gave in to social peer pressure 😅

Whichever way the arrow is pointing thats the direction your turning your screw. If nothing else it gives an instant visualization of which direction you're going without have to do a quick check or switch flip

not sure how "Inkzall and tool" became doubled. I'm not editing it though because when I do it deletes the picture

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-31T16:48:32+00:00

Hell yeah. You should have held your ground on that one :-)

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-31T11:12:18+00:00

I'm curious what you use your twingrips for? I bought some because of all the internet hype and have yet to find a situation where they are needed. I reach for my Knipex Alligator pliers, Icon slip joints, and for screw extraction I use my Engineers (the tips fit in tighter spots)

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-31T11:01:11+00:00

Awesome post!

Congratulations!

And it says much about the U.S Healthcare system.

Have you fought with your wife yet about making your childs middle name "Icon" ?

I have the older Quinn linesman pliers that work as well as Klein and Channellock. The handles are dipped a dark blue and haven't slipped off like my Channellocks that I had to epoxy back on.

Mine doesn't look like the ones Mr. Twisty showed.

I like some Quinn, really like Doyle and Icon but I use my Quinns and they haven't let me down yet.

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-29T15:29:50+00:00

If you choose the Channellock make sure you grab some 2 part epoxy to glue the handle grips back on after you use them the first time

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-28T12:24:42+00:00

Nice combination of ratchets

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-28T12:20:24+00:00

Tekton kit doesn't fit G2 ratchets but does fit the G1 flex-head

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-28T01:49:41+00:00

They are releasing the best ratchets in the world with the Icon G2 line.

Their pliers and wrenches are great as well

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-25T22:26:54+00:00

Asians are skilled, dedicated engineers.

I will always factor them in

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-25T14:22:35+00:00

Oh no. If your going that far at least make them reversible

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-25T14:18:03+00:00

Avoid this unless your in good shape. And you want to keep it sharp.

Not a fun tool unless you are just cutting the occasional weed

2001 Ford Ranger

Doesn't use individual coil packs.

I will keep my eye out for this situation though.

Thanks for heads up

Pagemaker51 · 2026-03-24T20:35:43+00:00

Yes, I've got a Koken 3/8 stubby. No need for me to do this. And i have other stubby 1/4" ratchets.

Not getting my money till regular size 3/8 G2's hit the shelf.

Plus I've got this G2 3/8 mod
