Glad to see I am not the only one with a worrying tool collection/ addiction




These aren’t even all of them

Nice stuff there.  I have a very similar Black and Decker drill, and I see you also have ratcheting wrenches with pivoting box ends too.  I love mine and they get a lot of use.  What brand are yours?  They look very similar to mine.

They are Aldis “WorkZone” brand. I bought the whole set for 10€, all to get to one annoying bolt on my girlfriends car when we were on a road trip........since then I have only really used them on a few bits and bobs.

I don’t have any high expectations for them, but so far they have held up well for over a year, no complaints from me

I am not familiar with that brand, but I have to wonder if whoever supplies them to Aldis also supplies them to Canadian Tire in Canada?  Mind you, they seem to be a lot more affordable in your neighborhood, as mine were on sale for $50 for each set, the Metric and the SAE.

If they are the same brand, don't worry about them, mine have been going fine for years without a problem.  If not, well, at least you haven't got much money in them!

Quite a few great tool assortments, y'all! :)

Here are some photos of my two main tool cabinets in my home workshop. I'll post the tool bags and power tool shelf later. :)

They are likely all made in the same factory in China, and just branded differently for each customer they have.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.

Take for instance the brands; Rolson and  WORKPRO.

You will see a lot of the exact same tools they are selling appear on both AliExpress, amazon and eBay, with a different brand or no brand on them.

Nice ratchet collection.  The two half inch ratchets on the right look familiar, but I can't seem to place them.  Who made them?

One is Proto and one is Industro. Seriously tough ratchets. I have used the Proto in a pinch to remove a car wheel and put the spare on. I stood up on the handle and jumped on it to break loose the wheel nuts. It didn't phase the Proto. :ahhh

I really like long locking pliers. :tu: Great for keeping ones distance :)

I assume the little groove cutout on the Vise-Grip diagonal cutter pliers are part of a compound leverage mechanism?

You assumed correctly, sir! :salute:

Those are my favorite side cutters of all time. They are made in Germany and cut through 10-32 screws like butter. I use them for cutting machine screws, wood screws and nails(I keep some at work as well). So far, not a single ding in the jaws.

The long locking pliers are great for light-medium duty tasks, but I have broken a set before. My two are low-end brands (Pittsburg and White Dog Tools - same manufacturer). I do keep an eye out for brand name versions though(maybe I'll find some for sale at some point). :)

Yes those cutters were interesting  :cheers:

I got some long locking plier very similar off Ebay. I'm not sure if they even have a brand. I added on a mod to securely grab and hold small crucibles. Works much better than the tongs originally supplied. (If you've slipped a grip and dropped a crucible once you really don't want to repeat that!  :D :ahhh )

I talked my boss into letting me buy a Dewalt brushless cordless oscillating tool. Best 129 bucks spent on a tool. It cuts thru drywall, conduit, plastic and nails easily. Trick is you gotta spend the $ on high quality blades for it, not the basic harbor freight blades. I use this thing almost everyday on the job it's so handy. At Lowes they will run this tool  (which comes tool only) with a free 100 dollar battery.  It's 20vt as we have been using Dewalt's 20 volt platform for a few years now.

Yup. These two sets can be worn on a belt so you can reach all the bits while standing on a tall ladder. Very handy for those that need this. I also expect the security T10 Torx bits to be a little better than those of the €5,- sets that I have consistently managed to overtorque :rofl:

You might get disappointed - I've twisted off Wera security Torx bits too. To be fair I did so abusing them for normal Torx screws.
