Boston Industrial Tools -- Any Good?

[SnowRidge]

I know a few PT owners have purchased articulating joint nut wrenches from Boston Industrial Tools. What do you think of the quality of their tools? They sure seem reasonably priced, and they have some stuff that can't be found at HF, etc.

I did a web search on the company and found only one discussion regarding their quality, and it was more speculative than anything else. So, what's your opinion, if you've got something from them?

Do you have a link to their website?

OT...

Look at your ping... 239ms sux, you might want to try a different test station to bounce off of.

18.7 megabits/second!!!

What rate plan are you on? Our new property has Comcast, and we are looking forward to eventually getting something faster than 128K ISDN, but had no idea they offered those kind of speeds.

Actually I cheated, the first one is Atlanta, 300 miles away and faster than my jacksonville results.
here is jacksonville

I am on the basic cable only at $50.16 per month

Must be a fibre optic our on the pole... In LA they are just now putting fiber into homes in very select areas (mine will be the last for sure). I hear about these kind of numbers but never have experienced them.

The house in woodland we have wireless fed down the valley. A clean and useable signal but not close to that speed. But the guy who provides that service has to be making bank in a huge way. A backbone out of portland for $8 to 10K a month, and then sending the signal down the valley to 700 to 1000 customers... At 30 a month... Lets do the math... 21K gross - 8 K for signal... 11K for sitting around watching paint dry. I come from scmuck stock for sure. Would never have thought of something so darn simple and clever...

As for the wrench, something cheap is a good bet. I don't think there is another bolt on the PT that is the same size so that wrench will get used once every 6 months at best. Harbor Freight Chinese will do IMO...

Actually, I'm looking for insights into the kind of quality that can be found in Boston Industrial Tools house branded tools in general, not just that specific wrench.
