ahh. thanks. So this guy didn't need to mill his thimble to see more of the 0 line and could have just adjusted the spindle/thimble relationship? (at 3:03 discussed and then 10:54 onto the lathe) .... I think I'm wrong and the guy in the vid is looking to adjust the sleeve/thimble relationship...

Thanks for reply... Why reposition the thimble? and what should one know about the screw at the end of the ratchet? here are the parts you cited for reference

Micrometer - what's this second adjustment hole? .... And how does one use it? Searched online without success. Tried things like "micrometer ratchet adjustment hole"

The tub isn't the issue. My experience with electrolysis is that it works best in line of sight to the anode so things on the inside of cavities don't get the same results. With yours you had a pass-through on the main body. I have a deep well and my rust is way worse than yours. What were...

User. Cost-benefit on work needed. Would like it to not rust stain the user and be functional and smooth to use. The screws holding the jaw ?pads? are deteriorated or contaminated. I can't find the slots in some of them, and the slots I could pick out didn't seem in a condition to take an...

Vice revival, now what? Wilton 8400 HD So got this apart after weeks of penetrating fluid..., now what? Mainly wondering about rust removal and I bet IDK a bunch about bringing a vice back to life that y'all can make me aware of so I didn't have to make newbie errors. Re rust removal, I wish...

Fun! What did you attach the chain to? what had you think you needed the counterweights?

Ok, technically a lift of all trades but it didn't sound as good.

Saw that on the website the Overdrive are 6 point which is my experience tend to fit tighter - or tolerate variance, deformities less.

I found Craftsman Overdrive on the internet - https://www.craftsman.com/collections/overdrive .....what does really tight mean in your context?

yeah :-( ... I ordered the Williams ones off Amazon and will compare to the Craftsman ones I've had. Ideally the Williams would become my go-to and use the Craftsman just when busting stuck fasters. ...One nice thing about the open ends its easy to put another wrench on for extra leverage.

The Icon ones have a reversing lever. The Tekton do not.

Clever reversing lever ...I wonder if it ever self-switches if ratcheted to an obstruction that would press the button. Missing 11mm which I find I actually use 8mm x 10mm, 12mm x 14mm, 13mm x 15mm, 16mm x 18mm, 17mm x 19mm Reviews compare it to the Carlisle brand...
