    But yeah. If you posted this on FB, redit or even pbn people would have no idea what you are talking about

      on facebook it would have somehow gotten into politics or something insane by this point.
      What a shithole facebook turned out to be. I remember when it was actually good, before massive groups and money got involved.

      There's nobody left on PBN to even talk about it. I think there's maybe 1 or 2 active threads on the entire form. you can see todays posts here.

        Wiha, I would rather they got rid of the “synchronized swimming/water ballet” holder and charged a bit less.

        if you don’t know, when you spin one wrench in the case they all spin.

        I also have a nice set of hinged allen wrenches from napa at home and hinged craftsman wrenches at work. They never come out.

          It won't even let me log in to pbn. I got in and then within a minute I click on anything and it kicks me back out saying I'm not logged in

          And there's ads everywhere

          I really don't mind paying for MCB

                    Why are hex keys being stored like a machinist tool?

                        Because some cyclists will pay stupid money for them.

                            I have come to appreciate this thread...moved into a new toolbox...and these are only the ones worth keeping. I need just one set to replace this mess and all you fine people gave me something to research. Click image for larger version

                              I have wanted the metric set of PB Swiss knurled wrenches for so long, but just can't justify the cost, especially when most applications I work with are standard. I do like the plated Bondus sets...those are actually financially feasible.

                                True this.

                                But I'd argue my multi-purpose ratchet-hammer-prybar from harbor freight is also a replaceable commodity item.

                                My Mitutoyo calipers definitely are not.
