New Toptul Goodies!

[@ashleymcgovern5120]

I actually think a lot of the Britool Hallmark & even some of the Britool/ Mac Expert stuff is made by Rotar Toptul Mark. Some things seem identical with a different handle. Like the 360 swivel ratchets.

[@MarkFox]

Could be, hard to find specific info sometimes.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

Did the seller write a disclaimer that those bits are produced to a standard that's recognized in North America? The chucking end of the bits are not machined to lock into quick-release bit holders sold in North America, including cordless drills/impact drivers. The easiest fix to this issue is to grind down the end of the bit.

[@MarkFox]

Not a concern of mine, they were $6. I have no intention of using these on Japanese carbs or anything else of that nature. They chuck up fine in my drill and I have used them to drive deck/drywall screws with no problem. I own real JIS drivers for when I need that application.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

I'm not talking about the Phillips/JIS tip profile, but the chucking end. What brand of cordless drill/impacting driver and other standalone quick-release bit holders do you have?

[@MarkFox]

I know what you meant about the Hex (drive) side not fitting impact drivers. I have Dewalt stuff and never tried putting them in the impact driver but now I will. I still use drills to drive screws and they work fine for me.

I have a Carlyle ratcheting screwdriver and it is identical to that toptul version except it's blue and yellow color.

[@MarkFox]

I've seen pictures of it and agree they are identical except for colors.

Was it you who posted this same in garagejournal? Great video, I too have few toptuls, flexible magnetic pickup tool and mini vice grips. Good quality.

[@MarkFox]

Yes, I also post on Garage Journal.

[@Nevercouldfigureitout]

What made you pick the toptul files over the Nicholson? I've been debating getting the Nicholson kit on eBay and they seem to be close in price. I'm also a garage journal member

[@MarkFox]

Just wanted to try something new. Nicholson & Sandvik are both known for quality files, I don't mind being a guinea pig and trying new stuff.

Been looking at the Toptul metric wrench set that are long handle. Do you have any of those by chance?

[@MarkFox]

No I don't own the combination wrenches but I have seen Eric O. from SMA do a short "thoughts" on them on one of his repair videos and he seemed to like them. If you're interested I would purchase them and give them a try.

[@nathanr.8556]

Personally I think somebody could make a good business by offering the full line of Toptul to the U.S. market.

[@jlp5137]

I have that same swivel ratchet and it is 72 teeth

[@MarkFox]

That seems to be a Taiwan thing, many ratchets out of there seem to be 72 T models.

[@TheSavageGarage]

Some top-tools there mark pardon the pun. Haha

[@MarkFox]

I think next thing is going to be a bigger box!

[@snapmac5547]

That flat file is properly called a bastard file.
