I think Rotozip might be gone. It was a Bosch company, just like Dremel. I am trying to remember if I ever used that planer attachment. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Re: Bondhus vs Eklind ball end t-handle hex driver Bear in mind that any ball head is going to be weaker than a straight hex. I have no T handles but my ball end Bondhus have been good. Whenever possible I use a straight end to start a tight screw, even if I can't get much rotation and then...

Find out why they coudn't supply a touch up can for my old Cman red and gray or at least a link to a match. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

The polisher is way slower than the Dremel and the shape is a lot different than a rorary tool/die grinder Tell us how it works out for you. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Splitting the wire strands in 2 and twisting is similar to what I saw in the front of a Mopar service manual. The difference was they loossened all the strands and meshed the two wire ends together and twisted. It was only slightly thicker than the wire. Then solder and shrink. I play it by ear...

I once took apart a shot 15A gfci. Under the plastic face plate were 20A prongs. They can charge more for 20A. How many 20A plugs have you ever seen? I can only think of one instance. They were on work stations with a fluorescent light fixture that each had a cord and receptacale so they could...

Back when I was younger, camping was backpacking on snow shoes, a lightweight tent, a winter sleeping bag, a pad, etc. The only cordless tool was a headlamp. Fuel was butane or Coleman. Food was freeze dried. Now I am an old couch potato but the thought of dragging the whole contents of my house...

Campmor $16.99 - 20% coupon= $13.59, with thread and a couple of needles. Various needles: around $3.49 each. That sounds pretty cheap to me, especially considering people have them for many years or pass them on to their kids. This vs the HF with junk needles and thread for $7. Sounds like The...

The picture of Krud Kutter is dated 2 days ago. dunno. The Louisiana story is from this morning. The thread appears to be active again. I am careless about not checking dates. The threads show up from recent posts, no? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Thanks. Happy to be wrong. Somewhere I got bad warranty info. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Good store. I worked a couple of blocks away for 26 years. I think they used to have a lumber yard across the street. I bought there and so did my employer, if we needed something quick. They also have a ton of stuff in the basement. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Fine thread 3/4" is not the most popular size. I finally found some grade 8 in the bin at Fastenal but they were very short, like 1 1/2". I don't remember if they had bigger. It is good McMaster Carr has rod. Just use lots of grease to extend thread life. Moly is good for pullers and such. Sent...

Thanks for mentioning this process. I was unaware of it. After watching a couple of online videos I get the idea. This is why I like GJ. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Funny you should mention Krud Kutter. A couple of Louisianna high school students were just arrested for pouring into their teacher's beverage and putting it on Snap Chat. "They will not be charged as adults". Are they kidding. They were 17 and should be charged with attempted murder or at...

Bit of a ripoff. Home Depot $17.95. Listed as Phosphoric acid. Eastwood sells it too. I think they call it Quick Etch. When you sell it as a specialized product it always costs twice as much as when you buy it as a generic. I doubt that the concentration is much higher as they know people are...
