Knipex bottle opener!

Shoot, put it up on ebay as a "factory discard" and ask $100.  :lol_hitting:

Actually of the dozen ratchet wrenches I own, and used for years, this is the first I have had with a reverse button.   The others require flipping over. Will be a new experience.

There was a big bru-ha-ha over at the other site concerning reversible vs. non-reversible. I'd never thought about it over 20 years of use. Non-reversibles worked fine. But I could see where reversible could prove useful. So I've grabbed several metric ones recently that are reversible - just in case.

The 4lb drilling hammer is definitely a Barco industries as I initially thought when I saw it.

Old Craftsman raised panel 1/4 flex handle, in pretty good shape and pretty cheap.

For a set I'm putting together.

My first Craftsman RHFT, and it's definitely better than the teardrop ratchets.
Also for the set I'm putting together.

I count the same number of teeth, but obviously they're finer,  and with the dual pawl mechanism this is certainly smoother with a lighter drag and you can tell the swing difference too.
The head really isn't much taller either.

This stubby is a tad taller then the HF, is more expensive, but has way more guts to it.

I've never had a nailer before,  but it sure seemed a lot nicer than $28 would suggest .
When we reshingled the roof my uncle had a banks with the large drum mag that he borrowed from a friend,  he was so impressed he went and bought one when he left.
