Maybe I got the wrong idea here, but it looks like the one I linked would be almost no work. Cause you just put the catch/holes in between the door and the frame. And the larger part screws into the door. But yeah I thought about just replacing the knob with a keyed one. Might end up just...

Linked below. I used to have a really old one somewhere, I'll have to dig it out and restore it someday. But I was hoping someone knew what these were called. I'd like to find one that isn't from india, and install that on my study door. That's right, I'm an old time gentleman and the kids...

Haven't seen this before, do you happen to have an image?

What's the coolest, or just the best looking garage/shop floor you've seen? I'm thinking of some really nice looking floor that looks like blue granite or something. Almost like a counter top for a kitchen, yet it's a floor. That's just what I'm imagining. Maybe somebody could do that light...

But of course that paint will stay there forever, until deliberately removed. And it will be so thick that even if you knock a chunk off doing something else, you'll see that there's just more paint under there

they said it smells like cat piss so, I just have to pass on that

Decided to do this later. I was out there looking at my rustoleum paints and some of my old finishes, and it's easy to see there's no way they'd stay on when applied to hand tools. Powder coating probably would though. I've got some old powder coated tools that I know have been through hell and...

I'm guessing that's a joke :bounce: But yeah a bit of both really. I'm tired of them getting a coating of rust, and I see no reason why they can't look better. I like to keep clean tools cause not every job requires you to get dirty. When you just need to grab a pair of pliers to do something...

What about using appliance paint? That stuff seems pretty tough. While masking off the contact points, such as the inside of the plier's jaws. Maybe a 2k paint would have a better chance.

Thanks I'll take a look at BLO

I have an old rusty pair of pliers I was thinking about painting. Maybe knock all the rust off, mask off the inside of the jaws, and hit it with some rustoleum paint + primer from a rattle can. To clarify I'm not talking about hand tools where it's clear that most of the paint would never see...

Haven't got it yet, I wanted to hold out for the hyper tough. See how that one goes, maybe it's great. Lots of people seem to like it. If it ain't so great, I may try the performance tool ratchet in the OP

Walmart is a jungle now isn't it... I never go there anymore. When I went to find the ratchet it was the first time I'd been there in 4 years. Target is the more upscale version. Walmart has really gone downhill since sam walton died. Sometimes after these companies lose the main guy, they...

I'm not sure, but I know hart tends to have problems. I went looking for that hyper tough ratchet the other day and it looked like one whole isle was just hyper tough stuff. Hard to believe they'd be dropping it.
