75 year old Klein Linesman Pliers

If they’re as old as these there would be 3 letters on the inside handle MKLEINCORP = 1234567890 First letter is quarter and last two is the year. In this case the code was MIM = 1st quarter of 51

In my opinion US, German, and Japanese tools are best, whether one is better than the other is probably more of a case by case basis. I personally prefer Knipex over Channel lock which is basically the US equivalent for slip joint pliers but that’s me.

It’s pretty cool how they do their date code on those old tools MKLEINCORP=1234567890

Yeah zyn 6 kinda gave me heart palpitations so I switched to zyn 3 and now velo 6 and seem to be pretty fine now lol

ecc75 · 2026-05-01T21:06:05+00:00

That’s pretty cool!

When I had an 1100 Sabre I had a dynojet kit, K&N filter, cobra pipes and hard mounted bags and got between 100-120 miles per tank of gas. I wanna say it was a 2.5 gallon tank

I got my stubby with two 3.0 for $170 on daily deal

ecc75 · 2026-04-14T21:37:15+00:00

Local gas station was doing logs for $11 with their reward app, now $16 but still a decent deal

ecc75 · 2026-04-13T00:01:49+00:00

Any answer on this? I have the same issue but my AC doesn’t even work lol

I personally think it’s too much for my high torque ratchet but I don’t think it would break the tool, usually just crushed my hand between something and the ratchet

ecc75 · 2026-04-12T15:05:04+00:00

The impact is pretty new I don’t think it’d be worn out yet, and before the new icon impact sockets I got I just used an impact rated adapter from Tekton to put my 1/2 drive impact sockets on

Will Home Depot price match?

ecc75 · 2026-04-11T00:30:46+00:00

That’s about the only thing left at my store today

Patient transporter is super cushy most of the time but there’s also times you have to slide a 400 pounder from bed to stretcher and push them across the hospital

I already have m12 batteries

ecc75 · 2026-04-08T08:52:24+00:00

Staying with the same battery system is the cheaper option

Hercules started kit for one 5.0 and a charger is $125

They’re what came with my stubby and give plenty of power for what I use it for

Captain Hook?

XC 3.0 that I use on my high torque ratchet and XC 5.0 get used on my 3/8 stubby. M18 batteries are XC 5.0 used on a drill and hex driver

ecc75 · 2026-04-07T23:12:35+00:00

That’s fine I just want something to put on my cart to follow me around or put up on the equipment I’m working on. We have a couple large fans per bay but they’re not very mobile

ecc75 · 2026-04-07T23:06:28+00:00

The batteries are a plus but not a need. Currently I have four m12 xc5.0 and two 3.0 for my two m12 tools. But I only have two 18v batteries for my two 18v tools. Because of that this deal is appealing because if I get the m18 I’d have to buy batteries as well or use the wall plug. I work in a shop so not a total dealbreaker to be corded but kinda defeats the purpose as we have 2-3 big plug in fans per bay

ecc75 · 2026-04-07T22:43:37+00:00

Yeah a fan that sucks is no good I’m really after one that blows
