Hardware Sales out of Bellingham, the hardware store he alluded to is definitely a rare find of a store. Last of its kind and always a treat to visit! Top of the line tools and merchandise for sale.👌
Those are called Podger Ratchets, used for scaffolding mainly. The poking end is for aligning bolt holes, the small holes in the shaft is for attaching a tether and carabiner for working at height.
If the 10mm socket is permanently attached to the ratchet, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO SELL REPLACEMENTS WHEN THEY MIGRATE HOME? Clearly, not good business sense!
I had a Snap-on crescent wrench like that, for about 40 years I misplaced it a few days ago, mine said, made in Sweden, one of my favorite tools. I feel lost without it.
hmm made in Sweden? I know a swede invented it and sold the patent to the Swedish company that became Bahco but didn't know Snap-on ever made tools in Sweden?
@@kerberos623production wasn’t really moved to Spain, they just started using a different manufacturer. Here’s a tip, if you want a snap on crescent wrench, go buy a Channellock adjustable wrench. They’re made by the same company in Spain. Better than most other common adjustable wrenches. Comparable to the rigid/proto USA made ones in my opinion.
I’ll be honest, the main reason why i watch your channel is because I love your grammatical fluency and love how you give new words to old stuff that speak total truth. Well done, sir. I think you would make an excellent author…
The Japanese sockets on a stick is a fabulous tool, I have had some of these for close on 40 years, used to use them in my steel erecting days, great bit of kit, with the built in podger, and the ability to drop the socket onto hanger studs due to the straight through access of the socket. They sadly now sit in the bottom of my toolbox since retirement. Great review Mr. Canada man.
Back in the 80's when made in Japan was a dirty word, I had Japanese wood butchery tools. I told guys if says made in Japan in Japanese, it's the best tool you can buy
in the UK we call those ratchets a scafolder's podger, the poking end is great for shoving in a bolt hole and wiggling around until the bolt holes line up, mine is 20 years old rusty as anything but still runs as smooth as silk
The fact that you've been a UK scaffolder for that long and aren't currently banged up for drink driving, fighting, bumping restaurants or some other BS is remarkable. 😂😂😂
I came to Japan from the States 35 years ago... three things kept me here. The cars, the tools and the gals. Most of my stuff is KTC including by tool chests/boxes, and man they're nice. SK11 is real good too, and so is Koken and TONE. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em and thanks again.
If you are as irresponsible as I am then you will have noticed that the ratchets have nice holes to put a screwdriver through to keep the strap from slipping off when you are pulling on it with a crane to get a bolt busted loose.
Hi AvE! I live in WA state and am wondering what/where this magical Bellingham store is. I'd love to make a trip up there to pay them a visit! We are still lamenting the loss of Hardwick's Tools here in Seattle - if you've never been there, you would've LOVED the place. The aisles were incredibly narrow, stocked with esoteric hard-to-find tools, mostly lovingly hand-priced by a sharpie-wielding staffer who could write *beautiful* numbers. The only way that they escaped fire-code violations for their jam-packed aisles was that the Fire Dept. probably shopped there and loved the place! They had special cases full of Japanese pull-saws, Diamalloy pliers, every drill/tap you could think of, and more. Hardwick's lived up to its name and is sorely missed. We have to keep these old places in business, so please, let us know more about the place in B-ham. Sure, I could go and look it up myself, and probably find it but I'd SO much rather hear it from you! Thanks for all you do!
When hooking up the tractor PTO, shut the engine off and that will disable the PTO brake and you can turn the tractor shaft by hand with a little bit of effort to line it all up.
I like the Bahco adjustable with the reversible jaw so it doubles as a pipe wrench. I used to do half my work on the oil rigs with that and a flat blade screwdriver.
Lobster is the real deal. Another great brand from available in Japan is TOP their adjustable Wrenches are awesome open just as wide, they have some that are slimed down and have an angled head for knuckle clearance. Really great.
Your old Wright was forged by Western Forge. Western forge was the last company to make adjustables in the US. Proto, Craftsman, Wright, among others. When Ideal industries owned WF and SK tools, they closed WF and sold SK to the Chinese. Snap on adjustables are/were forged by Bahco, who is owned by Snap on. All the other made in Spain adjustables are made by Irega
Knipex wrench pliers are the way to go imo. Much better grip than an adjustable wrench, and they work very well for gentle mark-less gripping of parts.
My Snap On adjustable wrench, exactly like yours, is over 10 years old & regularly used. It is still shiney. The red grip still turns red when cleaned with brake clean, & has no tears or cracks. (It is not for sale.)
Irega is the Spanish company making that wrench. They make them for channel lock and many others as well. They are tight and haven’t had an issue with them and the jaw fit is significantly better than western forge who makes quite a few of the USA rebranded wrenches.
I bought my first Spanish wrench last year, but I didn't read the listing closely and bought the thin profile. Eh, oh well, it still works. Just mars up my damn pipes.
Found a 3/8" & 1/2" spud ratchet at tractor supply years ago when i took my first fabricator job after welding school. 11 years later it still gets comments from guys that have been in mechanics for years. I love it.

Just erected a Quonset. Used my old Proto bolt hole aligning tool joining panels for 2 days straight running 1200 5/16” bolts. The shallow cone tip makes it more effective than tapered drift punches.
Heel bar finish doesn’t matter when your knee deep in the nastiest grease imaginable with a tyvek suit that has filled up the legs full of your sweat and your on the verge of wanting to be an office jockey…..just my two cents lol
It's been like this for like 2-3 years now. At one point it hit 1USD>160JPY, last I looked it was back go 140 or so. Golden time to check out what they're doing over in the land of the rising sun, and done plenty of it myself already. Used to be the Amazon international storefront was a great way to do that but the pickings became suddenly quite scarce a few months ago, I wonder if they were losing their shirt on it or what because I ran the numbers on my last package and I paid a little less than what the exchange rate should have been.
@@AToolWithTools 10 years ago, the Yen was pretty strong. Now, yeesh. Yeah, noticed the same with price vs rate of exchange, but this is me not complaining haha
Got to love a podger for all those 'gentle adjustments' required building stages. Just picked up an 8-in-1 spanner that's pretty neato, too. Important to have two...one for hammering on the other!
Kito chain hoists are great , I used to be a crane and hoist technician and I never had many problems with them , just KEEP THE CHAIN LUBED and inspect the brakes yearly and you’ll never have an issue , the biggest problem I found was under lubrication of the chain and it would eat the chain drive sprocket , not a fun item to replace as you need to completely split the hoist in half.
That black wrench looks identical to the Channellock 810w, 812w etc.. Also made in spain and exact same placing of the stamping. They're best adjustables I've ever used.
Have a set of Japanese Alltrade impact sockets. Finally wore out the 3/4 after 40+ years. Several decent breaker bars have bought the farm with one of those on the end. Never a socket. Also have a pair of Oura tire irons. Thousands of tires changed with them. Pointy ends of tools are for alignment and keeping the white shirt boys off the shop floor by sheer intimidation...

Those awls on those wrenches look like good times for the ambulance drivers. I can just imagine you cursing fishing around in a box jamming that sucker right into a hand.
If you like big mouths it might be worth revisiting the old left handed Swedish nut lathe the Bacho 8” wide mouth opens up to 38mm (smidge under 1.5 inches in freedom units.) Love from down under uncle BF!
The Spain made ones aren’t bad. Spain isn’t a third world country after all. I don’t have a problem buying a channelock adjustable wrench, made by the same company. They are good for the money. Now, if you for whatever reason paid $100 for a fucking snap on adjustable wrench, you’re dumb, because all adjustable wrenches suck balls compared to a normal wrench or pliers wrench.
The rolling fulcrum/laddies slipper is nice. I have an indexing(@ 270 degrees or more) version i got off the truck. 24in. They make an 18 and a 12 as well.
Few sellers on eBay but expect a hefty markup with taxes and shipping compared to actual Japan price. I pick stuff up when I go over there for very reasonable prices.
Currently in China, I am in a tool trading company. I have seen a lot of factories drill bits, hand tools etc. Really amazed by how cheap molds and tooling is
The ratchet spanner/wrench with the pointy end are called a Podger in Australia. They are used to align bolt holes when rigging steel framed buildings then tighten the bolts.
So I tried your advice and kept my D in a vice. Severely ruined my range of motion, plus when I peed, it was like trying to change the garden hose nozzle with the water on. Am I doing it wrong? Please help.

".... you can tell I don't use it either because I'm afraid to get it dirty." Well that blatantly untrue, you've got children!!! No, wait, wrong tool. 😉
Never heard of that, but near me is a store I’m sure is similar. Called the Big Tool Store in Derby, KS. They stock nearly every SK tool, Proto, Klein and even a large amount of Starrett and Mitutoyo. Obviously all of the power tools from the big 3 or 4 brands. All kinds of machinist tools that are other than Mitutoyo and Starrett. Super cool store to go into. Wife hates going there with me. I’ll be in there for 2 hours just to leave with nothing, or a pair of pliers.
i swear by the bahco p style adjustables they open even farther so far even that the adjustable side comes out and you can turn it around and reinsert and grab round stuff with it. real live saver when you just rounded of the bolt.

The rolling fulcrum/laddies slipper is nice. I have an indexing(@ 270 degrees or more) version i got off the truck. 24in. They make an 18 and a 12 as well.
The wrench is made in Spain by Irega.
Also sold as 'Channellock' , I like the wide opening style.
That 19 and 15/16ths one would be a life saver for substation work, especially on GSU Xmfrs.
Anyone have links to some of these mentioned items?
Few sellers on eBay but expect a hefty markup with taxes and shipping compared to actual Japan price.
I pick stuff up when I go over there for very reasonable prices.
Currently in China, I am in a tool trading company. I have seen a lot of factories drill bits, hand tools etc. Really amazed by how cheap molds and tooling is
The ratchet spanner/wrench with the pointy end are called a Podger in Australia. They are used to align bolt holes when rigging steel framed buildings then tighten the bolts.
Well of course they are.... cheers mate from Florida!
So I tried your advice and kept my D in a vice. Severely ruined my range of motion, plus when I peed, it was like trying to change the garden hose nozzle with the water on. Am I doing it wrong? Please help.
It’s all about the angle of the dangle.
Also the heat of the meat.
Gentleman, never forget that these figures are always relative to the mass of the ass, which must always be carefully considered in your calculations!
@@nothanks9050 Don't forget about the gravity of the cavity.
@Daniel-Weaver I salute the depths of your endeavour, you must undoubtedly be a fully cromulent scientician.
Edited to correct spelling, or as I like to think of it, "Regional dialect".
@@nothanks9050 Uh.
From the transscript: "thanks for watching keep your digging advice" 🤣 Classic!
".... you can tell I don't use it either because I'm afraid to get it dirty." Well that blatantly untrue, you've got children!!! No, wait, wrong tool. 😉
Glad to see your out of ja….college these days. Good update. Seems I’ll be adding some more J A pan tools to my list!
Ahhh, you lobster and never flounder
That hardware store is my go to for that area. So much stuff in there!
Goddam that BLUE looks amazing!!
By far one of my favourite tool sets in the box. And they love pipe extensions for those stubborn bolts ha
I wonder how much the Snap-on pipe extension costs? If I have to ask, I can't afford it.
I am a big fan of tools and that lobster adjustable spanner looks the dogs top quality
Hardware Sales is one of the best stores I’ve ever been in. Especially when you discover it has an upstairs.
Never heard of it
Never been
But thank you for ruining my next trip stateside. And fueling me dreams until that time.
I didnt catch the lingo and all that. Is this a store called Hardware Sales in the States?
Never heard of that, but near me is a store I’m sure is similar. Called the Big Tool Store in Derby, KS. They stock nearly every SK tool, Proto, Klein and even a large amount of Starrett and Mitutoyo. Obviously all of the power tools from the big 3 or 4 brands. All kinds of machinist tools that are other than Mitutoyo and Starrett. Super cool store to go into. Wife hates going there with me. I’ll be in there for 2 hours just to leave with nothing, or a pair of pliers.
I grew up in B'ham and would love to know where he found them.
@@standorf958 Has to be Hardware Sales in Bellingham.
Can’t tell you how happy I am that my Time Machine has worked and I can now watch AvE videos of old ❤️
Them hand signals 👀
i swear by the bahco p style adjustables they open even farther so far even that the adjustable side comes out and you can turn it around and reinsert and grab round stuff with it.
real live saver when you just rounded of the bolt.
17mm is quite common in metric M10 I believe is 17mm
it is. One of the most useful/common
Yeah M5 is 10mm, M6 is 13mm, M8 is 15mm, M10 is 17mm, M12 is 19mm and M16 is 24mm
Almost,
M5 = 8mm
M6 = 10mm
M8 = 13mm
@@sir16-bit54 ah I always get M8 mixed up!
@@gavster89 no sorry I think I may be mistaken 15mn is M10 17mm M12? M5 definitely 8mm M6 definitely 10mm M8 absolutely 13mm AHH I get mixed up this is why the metric system is stupid Ave 17mm is a common socket needed though 🤣
I just bought a used camera from Japan and had it posted to UK. I very much enjoyed the current exchange rate.
