    Tools of Japan

    My buddy got these for me in Japan a while back. Anyone have any info about them? Also looking for recommendations for what socket clips to use. I already use the Ernst ones in my toolbox so I might just order more of those, but not sure what else is out there.

    Tools of Japan

    What's the current tariff/shipping situation these days? Is it worth it to use something like Blackship? I vaguely remember folks using Amazon.jp direct to the US didn't have to pay tariffs? I might have to use something like Blackship since not all the items I want are available to ship to the...

    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    Thanks for the clarification. Yeah that 6" requirement is what's also driving my need to pour some new concrete pads. I'll see if the concrete folks have experience in splitting control joints like that. I guess I could oversize the reinforcement slab so that any anchors installed in it are >6"...

    Yeah, I was planning to have that section of concrete cut so I can put a thicker section keyed into the existing slab. I don't think it is post tension according to the DWG I have (which doesn't 100% match the build). I'm more curious to understand if interrupting the relief cut will be an issue...

    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    I'm looking at getting a Max Jax for my 8' ceiling height garage and had a few questions. Does anyone know how far from the back edge of the base plate the hydraulic cylinder is that sticks out from the top as you are lifting? I have a couple of beams that sit lower at approx 80" running the...

    Thanks, that is super helpful! I think if they don't get back to me I'll order this spring and see if it works: https://www.mcmaster.com/2006N167/

    Thanks, I'll give it a bit more time. It's been less than 1 week. I have a NBR390AFL.

    thanks. Even if someone has a rough size/coil/rate I think I can just get one on McMaster.

    Anyone know where to source a replacement spring for a Nepros 3/8" ratchet direction selector? Mine shot across the shop when I was trying to take it apart to fix a binding issue. I've emailed Nepros, but haven't heard back yet.

    Oetkier Clamp Tools vs Pex Crimp Tools?

    Thanks for the help everyone. I should have good access since the motor is outside of the car right now.

    Oetkier Clamp Tools vs Pex Crimp Tools?

    The tools I have are like this: https://www.iwiss.com/products/kg-1096-pex-ss-ratchet-clamp-cinch-tool-meets-astm-f2098 I was considering buying the Knipex pliers, but I've only got a handful to do and was hoping not to have to buy another tool if these ratcheting ones worked and were easier to...

    Oetkier Clamp Tools vs Pex Crimp Tools?

    I have some automotive Oetkier clamps (Oetiker 167 and 154 stainless clamps) to install soon and was wondering if I could use the ratcheting PEX ear clamp tools to do the job, or if I need to get a Oetiker specific tool. I've got both an Iwiss and iCrimp F2098 ratcheting PEX crimp tools. Will...

    Slipperiest Lube

    I wanted to bump this thread because I was wondering if anyone has gotten their ratchet internals WPC treated and/or DLC coated and seen a major difference in backdrag/smoothness? I was thinking it might make sense to treat the ratchet pocket and plate as well.

    2024 Edition: What Would You Buy From Snap-on If You Had The Student Discount?

    I got a partial set of SOXRRM704A. What's the best way to fill out the missing pieces? Buying used off Ebay? New from the snap on website? The one truck I had access to was just going to sell them for the same price as the website.
