    Vacuum for rodent feces and green mold?

    When I did commercial cleaning in college we were always told never to bleach mold because while it kills it, it strips the color and dead mold is still toxic. SOP was to get it wet ("wet mold can't fly" was what the boss said), wipe it off with rags then KILZ the affected area. We always wore...

    Your next step is to toss the vise up there, square it, then retram against the ground vise bed since that's what your work will actually be referencing off of.

    Is Facom 440, USAG, and MAC Power Torque wrench sets similar animals?

    Don't forgetTOPTUL as well! If I remember from a previous thread, the difference for some of those is length, but they're all made in Taiwan now.
