Product Name: Pro Tul Impact Screw driver Set
Description and Review: This tool is used to remove seized screws, bolts and nuts. It has removable 1/2" square drive to 8mm bit adapter in front and uses 8mm screwdriver bits (10 pcs bits included). 1/2" square drive sockets (To be purchased separately) can be attached after removing the front bit adapter. Quality of the tool is very good and it helped me to remove rusted screws several times. The box has transparent acrylic sheet on top and mine was broken/cracked in transit. However, I decided to keep it because at that time there was no stock for replacement. Now it is back in stock.
Cost: Rs. 1100 @ Flipkart

Product Name: Groz Telescopic/Extendable Wrench With 17mm, 19mm, 21mm Lug Sockets & Carry Bag
Description and Review: This is a telescopic/extendable wrench used for removing wheel lug nuts and also works as breaker bar. It has 1/2" square drive and comes with 17mm, 19mm, 21mm sockets. You can buy different size sockets and use them as well. Quality of the wrench is pretty solid but when it is fully extended, there will be little play between the joints so better to keep it a inch or two short. I haven't used it yet for removing lug nuts but it helped me remove drain bolt which was stuck and wasn't possible to remove with small wrench. Finally I would advice every car owner to get this tool and store it inside trunk because wrench provided with the car will be only one feet in length and we have to struggle when removing lug nuts. But with this extendable wrench (Upto 20" as per my measurement) we get more leverage to turn tight bolts and nuts. It will surely come handy when changing flat tire.
Cost: Rs. 1239 @ Amazon (During Festival Sales)

Very nice addition of tools.
I liked your Pro Tul Impact Screw driver Set .Out of all the tools , it may prove to be the most useful.
The thermometer laser will harm human eyes that's why its use is not recommended for humans.

Thank you, Sirji

Laser can be turned off in the industrial IR thermometer but the main problem is the accuracy that varies from -2c to +2c or more and this is okay for testing surface temperatures. Whereas medical IR thermometer has accuracy of +/- 0.1c and short measuring range (i.e 32c to 42c) to suit body temperatures.

Anyway, I have Mastech MS-6590P for checking fever.

C- Shaped and S- Shaped double ring spanners.(12 pointed)
Its also called u shape half moon wrench set
These are very useful tools for use in car engine compartment, and scooter and bikes, where the bolt head is very hard to reach and there is no clear straight line for applying your straight wrench.
Basically they can be used anywhere where bolt head is hard to reach.



C-Shaped double ring 5 pieces

S-Shaped double ring spanners, again 5 pieces

I wish I had more sizes(from 7 to 32) of the c-shaped spanner, as they come in very handy in the engine bay. Ideally one should have all the sizes(from 7 to 32), but I could only procure the 10 common sizes, as seen in pics.
To be honest I cant fancy it as u shape half moon wrench set. For me its always C shaped.

Tools need Tool Boxes:

People wait eagerly for Diwali ,the festival of lights, for myriad of reasons.
I wait for Diwali for one more reason:- beautiful sweet gift boxes and dry fruits packings. I wait for them to get empty, and then I used them as Tool Boxes.
Some may find it stupid. But I never like to throw them away, and recycle them in this way.

I am cross posting some pics from our Honoured member bhvm thread. Full post can be seen here









Things are easy when you have the right tools, Like a Brake wrench.

Well the above wrench used are 6 point brake wrench also called
Brake bleeder wrench / Flare Nut Wrench

Flare nut wrenches are a type of open-ended wrench that's intended for use with hexagonal nuts and fittings, which are sometimes referred to as flare fittings. Visually, they resemble box or ratchet wrenches but with an open head instead of a closed loop. Flare nut spanners can fit fasteners that are inaccessible to ring spanners, while retaining the stability provided by a ring head. They are designed for use on fasteners that are attached to tubes, for example, on the end of vehicle brake pipes or plumbing pipes. .....source wikipedia

I am sharing pics of my STANLEY Screwdriver bit set with Ratchet functioning T shaped handle.


Good features:
There are 25 different varieties of bits which can be attached to the handle.
This set comes in a good quality plastic box packing
The long bits are more than 6 inches in length. I like this point in this set very much as it makes my job in tightly packed spaces easier(eg engine bay etc)


Wished more in this area:
Ratchet function is present only on one side of handle, not on the other side.
Full metal box would have been even better, although plastic box looks sturdy.
I need even more types of bits!!!

This is the plastic packing. Looks sturdy enough.

Sometimes the smallest of the tool proves to be the most useful.

Stubby screwdrivers

Not only useful but cute too

2 in 1 function is very handy

Individual box for storage

Not only Screw drivers are cute, but the box is beautiful too. I assume its some Perfume or Apparel box...

Thanks for the compliment. Never expected you will notice the Box too. It's a box from, well, a bluestone store. Kept it as I felt it was too good to throw away. Don't like to throw away things that's all .
