What I meant was it was a combo of torque wrench and Torx bit
That's probably what he meant, but in case you didn't know there is such a thing as a torx wrench.

I have heard things...tsk, tsk.

Be careful with your table saw. You could cut your trigger finger off and have to retire from the force.

I was "condescending" (barely even fits here honestly) to you because you couldn't be bothered to read the thread before taking a shot at my tool knowledge. So feel free to look in the mirror.

I prefer the wrench version. The bits are usually too large to get into small bit holes. And they have a tendency to seperate from the socket under high torque.

Like a screwdriver but with the ability to grab with a 10mm box wrench.

Had that happen before.

ETA: I really enjoyed when I had something held together with the torx with the center pin. Took a while to find a place that had the bit in stock, or maybe everyone was out of stock they day I needed it. Got lucky at Walmart of all places after trying several hardware stores.

They are a blast to use. Plus, if the little lady starts hanging around and bugging you, just go plug it in and she will gtfo in a hurry.

I've accumulated a vast collection of hand and power tools over the years. My problem is finding the lesser used ones when I need them.

clamps never get the glory that drills and saws get, but most projects in the backyard wouldn't be completed without them. fricking love clamps.

Apparently you missed where I said stick welder too.

Gotta have both.

More intimidating to me than doing the rest on that list.

A vice! How did I forget that.

Small and large.

It's all about the projects you tackle. I found a table saw and a mitre saw very useful for: installing wood flooring, any moulding work, building a Plinko game for the school fair, fixing weatherboards. A circular saw would have worked for some of that, but I don't have a steady enough hand to make the cleanest cut that I desire for those jobs. For the wood deck and the wooden fence, a circular saw was fine.

Why don't they make a 20mm socket?


Ebay has tons of them....cheap. I would link you but I did not know if you wanted, 1/2 or 3/8 drive, deep or shallow, impact, etc.

A quick search brings up a lot of them.
