GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / Re: The Quest for the perfect pocket screwdriver

Check this thing out.


I never knew AT&G made anything else but the 4 in 1 drivers that I have a pair of and I think this thing is cool, but apparently they're pretty uncommon and people tend to want $35+ for them on Ebay.

GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / Re: Making my own version of the Blackhawk nuggies set.

I was noodling through Cripe's store today, and I remembered your quest to build a not-quite-a-nuggies set.

They had a 1/4" ratchet, SAE shallow sockets, a spinner handle and ignition wrench set, all USA Kobalt. If I stuck them in a rounded plastic box, that's pretty close to the Nuggies 19N, right?
Essentially I guess except you'd be missing a flex handle " breaker bar " and an extension.
The problem is that the 19nd nuggies set was specifically extra small tools and I think they even made the midget wrenches especially for the Nuggies set because they don't appear to just be ignition wrenches and the larger sizes would not normally be that small of a wrench.

I am just quite particular about this endeavor of mine,  but you don't have to be and if I wasn't this set would be complete already assembled with Craftsman tools I already have.

Carpenters use nailers now,whether battery or air.  They use claw hammers some but not nearly as much.
They still have a place though, you can't use a nailer for everything.

Maybe not but I'll bet the faces of most claw hammers on constructions job get rusty. I use a Dewalt romex stapler pretty much exclusively, I haven't pounded 10 staples in the last year .

GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / I finally found one
« Last post by hickory n Steel on April 22, 2024, 02:30:40 PM »
It took me 4 years but I finally found a little wrench I've been looking for.
I saw one in a YouTube video and had to have one, supposedly they're a common item that can often be found for $1 but I just could not find one because I really didn't know what to search.
I've tried many combinations of mini bicycle wrench mini 3 inch screwdriver adjustable wrench and mini advertising adjustable wrench...etc and turned up no information or listings on Ebay
All I ever found was a promo example from an electricians or something .
Recently a Google image search turned up one with a manufacturers name on it and with that I was able to find one on Ebay.




It needed some work, but I was not going to pay $35 for the other much nicer example I found listed.


The hardest part was the careful tweaking to get the jaws to line up right but I got it.

I don't think anyone mentioned the Wiha pocket drivers?
The knurled handle might be big enough to grip, for tiny stuff at least, and the 4mm bits store in the handle.
