I'm a big Knipex fan too. Their insulated stuff is great! Those Germans.....

I'm in the same boat for the Jokers. Would love to have a set, just can't justify it.

Home Depot is running a crazy sale on this Werner 22' ladder, so I sold my 6+ year old 17' Little Giant for $75 and bought this instead!

I'm obsessed with Good Oral Hygene and fresh Breath!

I have a phobia about having bad breath. One plus of this stupid mask rule is I'm constantly doing a breath check whenever I have a mask on. 😏

Did brake fluid on both the BMW and Benz, and spark plugs, air and cabin filters on the Benz. Needed some parts and tools.

No, no noises whatsoever.

jmg Yes, I love the Tekton and Tacklife torque wrenches. I wasn't sure about them when I ordered. They are excellent. A YouTube user (Senior Leigh) makes high quality DIY Mercedes videos, and he includes tool lists with his projects. So credit goes to Senior Leigh for turning me onto these tools.

Price and quality are excellent. The price for a click-style non-digital torque wrench at Lowe's is nearly double, for either Kobalt or Craftsman brand. I doubt if there is any difference in quality or performance between the Lowe's brands and Tekton.

Series 6 to replace the Series 3...definitely not cool enough for the Off Topic/Watch subforum. What a difference in speed there is...

I'm losing my troll status...picking it up Friday.

Metallic white w/silverstone - 6MT - Sunroof - Comp - Exec

Only thing, I'm learning from my mistakes. While I ditched my E92 for the S4, I won't be leaving the Audi community. Too much invested in this beast to let someone else have it.

6 sleepless nights are coming up. It will be odd logging into F80 vs E90 going forward.
