Do you recall whether it is 14mm or 9/16 on a defender?

Definitely 9/16, but 14mm will tightly fit. Prop shaft tool is a must for me. Very well used. Got mine at rovers north forever ago. Toss one in your cart during next order. https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/rnt141_prop_shaft_socket_special_tool

I will buy the RN Britpart one and compare to the Laser tools one I ordered. I call Zack to order rather than use the cart because there are always things I can’t find. Lol.

Laser seems fine and I am convinced based on pics they are all the same.

One of my tool collector friends is liquidating some of his collection so I have some more PB Swiss coming.

Review of some slip joint pliers. I am in the fight of my lift to not spend $60 on a pair of snap on so I have spent hundreds on everything else. Setting aside the Knipex twin grips which are an absolute must for screw removal because they don’t have flat jaws and don’t have a cutter, I have found that the Japanese ones are very nice. I wanted some of the old narrow channellocks, but they are spendy.

Anyway, these were worth the $22 (small ones) and $13 respectively. The small Fujiya are particularly nice because they are lightweight.
