    Has anyone here tried Estwing's tool backpacks?

    Veto pro pack is the only tool backpack worth a hoot. If heavy backpacks are bad on your back, then what’s a heavy tool bag carried on one side do to your spine after a day of use? I use and I’ll take a backpack tool bag 101 times out of 100 over a tool bag. Carry that tool bag or metal tool...

    2/18 is the date. 2/18 was the date. Looked like 12/48 to me. The hockey puck spindles weren’t in 42 or 43…

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Nice score. You can order Yost 34c pipe jaws for it. with all due respect, you can’t have a manufacture date before a patent date…. The very last pic has the 227 plain as day…. That’s February 1927. This is why I didn’t add the pre R series to the Reed date post initially because every...

    Corner grounded Delta

    What kind of facility is this feeding? B phase ground is what it’s considered nation wide and still used in many refineries, chemical plants, and other highly flammable environments as there is 1/3 less potential for and arc flash on equipment failure.

    Question about Wrench Design?

    I don’t like raised panels, or sharp edge wrenches like the snap ons. I have them and use them, but I much prefer a wider side like the wrights, Williams made kobalts, etc. some thin ones like the snap ons, protos, craftsmans will dig in when really reefing on them. The wrights, while a bit...

    Attempted Highway Robbery by HVAC company

    its real simple actually. Just about every decent electrician in the midwest makes 35-50 bucks and hour. For the employer to pay him, his benefits, their insurance, their company truck, their company auto insurance you are well over 100 bucks an hour to employ that one employee and that doesn’t...
