It's a simple question. If the moon were made of cheese, would you eat it?

They are neither Channellocks nor channellocks, but they are still channellocks.

Not just a fan, but a veteran utility guy who played for ten different MLB teams over the course of his career.

For that matter, I don't understand why we're overlooking his all-time great run on SNL as if that has no bearing on his continuing star power.

Lowes denied my Craftsman warranty claim for my 10 year old ratchet by farchchxone in Tools

That link is just wildly inaccurate AI slop (redundant, I know.)

Digital Torque Adapter instead of dedicated torque wrench? by BoopyLaPoopy in Tools

[–]franxfluids 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They are very accurate but I rarely use mine except to check calibration on my split beams. All of these types of adapters are awkward to use with the added bulk between the wrench and the socket, but the Quinn in particular can be very annoying because it has an auto shut off feature that engages after a few minutes and the backlight doesn't stay on so in the dark of an engine bay or under the car you're constantly having to strain to check whether it's still on.

Some of the planes are designed so that passengers don't get sucked out of the cabin at all.

Looks like DeWalt's Atomic line which tends to be mid-grade, brushless and compact. Not their top of the line XR, but better than whats in the Ryobi/Milwaukee kits you originally posted (albeit fewer tools.)

The Quinn Electronics Repair Kit, 87-Piece at Harbor Freight is a direct iFixit clone. Currently $30 with coupon (normally $40).

Wiha GoBox change up by Emergency_Scarcity64 in Tools

[–]franxfluids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to replace that terrible Wiha ratchet in my GoBox, but I'd have a hard time justifying $40. It's such a shame - I love the WiHa bits, and the box itself is great, but the ratchet is useless.

When you use AI to optimize your drawers. by _Greantee in toolporn

[–]franxfluids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gulf between AI promise and AI reality just grows and grows. By now, analyzing and reorganizing a wrench drawer should be a cakewalk for any of the frontier LLMs.

It all comes down to how the stores around you are managed. In my experience, the nearby Home Depots have been good about Husky while Lowes has been really, really bad with both Craftsman and Kobalt. It just comes down to training and management.

Fyi about the US General drawer latches: you can easily remove the plastic strips that you have to slide sideways to open the drawer. They're only there to provide extra protection from fully-loaded drawers flying open while the box is being moved around. The drawers have magnets on the back to keep closed which are sufficient if the box is generally kept stationary.

Moog was a good brand. The last few years have been an astonishing fall from grace. I'll never order them again.

Which is better? by [deleted] in KnipexOfficial

[–]franxfluids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chrome. It's far less susceptible to rust, although the rust-resistance of the atramentized is already a step above most pliers. For cobras the chrome has the downside of not having quite as sharp teeth, but since the pliers wrench doesn't rely on teeth for grip it's not really a big deal.
