Not much action here because there's already a 10 page Arbor Press thread. Here's the latest.

Strangely enough, they are called headlights. Although it may be useful to clarify exactly WHICH headlight one is talking about when in a garage. I'm just sayin'....

Got my order confirmation on 7/4, nothing since.

Order #000006944 6 Dubuque bar clamps. 2 mystery bags. 1 50' Voltec cord a couple hundred bucks of other assorted small tools, including some leatherworking stuff. I missed out on Epstein's Day last year, looks like I kinda overcompensated this year. :D I am, however, very disappointed with...

50 hours? Sounds like someone got tripped up on the conversion from metric time to imperial time.

Not a brand loyalist, although I do have my preferences. I am, or at least try to be, a PLATFORM loyalist when it comes to cordless tools. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to maintain the purity. My 18/20v platform is Dewalt, but.... I ended up going with the Makita 36v tracksaw. My 12v...

no, I'm not talking about wrenches and sockets. Finding metric mechanic tools is as challenging as going to your nearest tool monger, be it a hardware store, big box, auto parts joint, Wally world, whatever. No, I'm talking about finding metric drill bits, especially bits suitable for wood...

This actually arrived a few weeks ago, but today was my first opportunity to use it. It was something of a stretch for me to buy it. Not financially, but rather because it meant a new cordless platform. All my 12v stuff prior to this is Bosch, but this is the only 12v oil-impulse out there...

If you want to stiffen the back, take a lesson from bridge builders and TRIANGULATE. Rather than a single horizontal stiffener, just put an X truss back there and you'll be golden. Your sides will be locked.

Did some accessorizing of my Triumph Street Scrambler. Added a luggage rack and plugged the passenger peg mount holes.

To quote the very, very successful Mr. Rockefeller, "Just one more."

****!! They don't list either of the Channellocks I'm after.

This is what happens when you have junior DESIGNERS from the world of DESIGN, rather than tool users/designers. Those pliers LOOK very nice, sleek, modern, etc. Unfortunately, in pursuit of a good look, they sacrificed entirely too much function. Because the DESIGNERS probably never actually...

Define "small". Here's a 14" metal/wood saw you can buy new today. By some lights in this thread, it qualifies as "small." http://www.jettools.com/us/en/p/j-8201k-14-metal-wood-vertical-bandsaw/414500 I had an earlier model of this saw, used it almost exclusively for wood, never changed...

Niflisk and/or Karcher are likely your best options.
