New Tool Day!

Tools from Japan are great. That is all.

[@SueBobChicVid]

That looks like an expensive way to lose a 10mm wrench.

[@noc8076]

So many tools when all you need is a large Knipex pliers wrench. Never leave your home without one.

[@titter3648]

Yepp. Expensive but so worth it.

[@KnaRRaN1989]

Fujiya kurokin(japan) also makes a plier wrench.

[@dieselgoinham]

Based and knipexpilled.

[@jlficken]

I have a full set of them from the XS to the XXL, however, sometimes an adjustable wrench is just handier.

[@captainscarlet6758]

Or the small 4 inch version. It opens to 1 inch capacity. Handy AF. My everyday carry.

[@akosv96]

One end to fix your buddies' car and the other dedicated to poke your enemies' wheels with. Very handy

[@sporty196071]

I had a Snap-on crescent wrench like that, for about 40 years I misplaced it a few days ago, mine said, made in Sweden, one of my favorite tools. I feel lost without it.

[@jeffarp7409]

It will probably turn up in somebody else's tool box. So be on the lookout in someone else's tool box. Lol

[@kerberos623]

hmm made in Sweden? I know a swede invented it and sold the patent to the Swedish company that became Bahco but didn't know Snap-on ever made tools in Sweden?

[@kerberos623]

Ah figured it out "Snap-On rebranded Bahco adjustable wrench manufactured before production was moved from Sweden to Spain."

[@KimballPrecision]

@@kerberos623production wasn’t really moved to Spain, they just started using a different manufacturer. Here’s a tip, if you want a snap on crescent wrench, go buy a Channellock adjustable wrench. They’re made by the same company in Spain. Better than most other common adjustable wrenches. Comparable to the rigid/proto USA made ones in my opinion.

[@ddnaomi]

Buy a new one. You will find the old one about 2 days later

[@KieranFoot]

10mm and 13mm one one tool, so you can loose them both at the same time now!

[@Andoxico]

more efficient that way

[@gtcam723]

Same if you mate the 10 and the 12 😆

[@84westy55]

If the 10mm socket is permanently attached to the ratchet, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO SELL REPLACEMENTS WHEN THEY MIGRATE HOME? Clearly, not good business sense!

[@jonanderson5137]

Now the whole wrench disappears too!

[@brianhaw9398]

Yeah, I was thinking now you need to buy a ratchet too!

[@LeRouxshnikov]

Oh wow, it's a scaffolder's wrench

[@slngblde]

After all these years you’d think ufuk would have perfected the voice command autofocus 😂

[@gtcam723]

Not going to lie, I’m probably going to steal it 😆

[@MetalAsFork]

Ufuk sounds like a good name for a strong Mongolian child.

[@superczech69]

All good things, especially liked the last one with the angle on it. Those couple of degrees can come in handy. I liked the "Bloody PTO" reference.

[@LUTZRICH6487]

I had two of those spud wrenches as a lineman (high voltage) in Japan, worked excellent on pole hardware

[@DG8RS]

That sex-me-up Blue handle is doing work on my pole hardware.

[@MattLitkeRacing]

I ordered a Kito chain hoist for Japan this week. I’ll have to try printing that knife again. I had problems with the supports on the first version

[@Devantejah]

Where do you put your orders in?

[@ethanmaxfield4709]

Snap-on adjustable wrenches w knurled jaws are the best. Perfect for rust belt tie rod jam nuts.

[@replicant357]

Goddam that BLUE looks amazing!! By far one of my favourite tool sets in the box. And they love pipe extensions for those stubborn bolts ha

[@bluesman6955]

I wonder how much the Snap-on pipe extension costs? If I have to ask, I can't afford it.

[@Iowa599]

My Snap On adjustable wrench, exactly like yours, is over 10 years old & regularly used. It is still shiney. The red grip still turns red when cleaned with brake clean, & has no tears or cracks. (It is not for sale.)

[@1903tx]

I warrantied a US-made Snap-on adjustable wrench like that one with the red grip and was disappointed AF to get a Spain-made one back.

[@jonanderson5137]

That's not warranty. Tell 'em to go find a direct replacement. You paid for USA made.

[@240Patrik]

They were never made in the US…

[@1903tx]

@@240Patrik It was marked "USA"

[@gtcam723]

@@240Patriksome are or were and some aren’t or weren’t. Sometimes you can tell by the part number. But I’ve seen USA, Sweden, and Spain.

[@brianmoore1164]

With your love of tools that work, I wonder why you haven't picked up a couple Knipex Pliers Wrenches to use in place of those nut rounders.

[@shellsterdude]

Uncle Bumblefuck actually returned from the store with a gallon of milk, but he only wants to discuss the tools he picked up while he was out.

Hardware Sales is one of the best stores I’ve ever been in. Especially when you discover it has an upstairs.

[@NSUGS]

Never heard of it Never been But thank you for ruining my next trip stateside. And fueling me dreams until that time.

[@LitoGeorge]

I didnt catch the lingo and all that. Is this a store called Hardware Sales in the States?

[@KimballPrecision]

Never heard of that, but near me is a store I’m sure is similar. Called the Big Tool Store in Derby, KS. They stock nearly every SK tool, Proto, Klein and even a large amount of Starrett and Mitutoyo. Obviously all of the power tools from the big 3 or 4 brands. All kinds of machinist tools that are other than Mitutoyo and Starrett. Super cool store to go into. Wife hates going there with me. I’ll be in there for 2 hours just to leave with nothing, or a pair of pliers.

[@NJBeltCimmerian89]

The wrench is made in Spain by Irega.

[@spatchist]

Also sold as 'Channellock' , I like the wide opening style.

[@THX5000]

Once I got some Knipex plier/wrenches, I look upon all adjustable wrenches with disgust.

[@RiverrRiverr]

Knipex wrench pliers are the way to go imo. Much better grip than an adjustable wrench, and they work very well for gentle mark-less gripping of parts.

[@totherarf]

17mm is a magic number is also 13/20th" It's metroimperial! .... I don't judge ;O)

[@cole4406]

Ave talking about not interjecting had me cracking up. He has his own language and he’s worried about “like” 😂

[@JimBobZee]

I like that Lobster wrench, it has a radius in the fixed jaw. Less likely for a crack to develop.

[@timmyisme22]

Curious which store. Gotta hit it up if they have a good selection and are local!

These are scaffolding tools, called Podgers in the UK 👍🏼

You are slipping AVE, you need the snow and stove campfire stories and the royalty free music over CNC video to get you a recharge. And do let the hoth "elected" king of the hill get you down, Mr Justaturdoh, his reign will pass soon, we hope. 17mm is 11/16. 12mm, 15mm, and 18mm are the odd balls with nothin close enough to do nothing more than round off even the best of fasteners.

[@missingegg]

Naive question: why would you want a ratchet with a nose picker on the end? I've never been using my ratchet and wished I had a big pointy stick handy.

That OEM is Irega. Snapon makes their's in the US now, but they're over $100. I'm not sure if bahco still makes one in Sweden or if Snapon still rebrands an6t of those.
