He needs 1/4-3/4 ratchets and sockets, combination wrenches, allens and bit allens, bit torx, pliars, punches/chisels, basic hand tools, 600v 10a multimeter and a tool box. I already hove most of the stuff he has nothing that I am aware of. The estate sales are hit or miss, Worcester is three...

One of my buddies from school needs tools, We have the same list basic intro tools for a internship. The problem that he is facing is monetary I want to help him as much as I can. The rate we get from tool manufacturers is anywhere from 14-26% interest if we do not pay it off before school is...

What..... No 3/4 Why I outta.. 1/2 is my plan b gun to breaker bars now.

That's my problem I am always up for a challenge to learn something new all the time I love the feeling going home that I learned something new or I accomplished something new that I have never done before. I am going with a extreme tools 56" box and snap on, gearwrench and a multitude of...

I was just stating my opinion the OP did state he wanted one for precision work multi-process is where it is at. But if he wants a decent home welder get a Lincoln powermig 210 it will get it done then you will want bigger and better. I am a huge fan of flux core and stick with today's current...

Some days I think so when the how the hell did that break....... look is given.

The gears keep going out does anyone make a coarse gear my 3/4 has like 20-40 teeth gear drive old and heavy duty. If a 3/8 or 1/2 came like that I would buy them in a heart beat for most work then the fine tooth for tight stuff. What is the general consensus on wilton bash hammers...

I kinda over exaggerated the breaking tools but for ratchets I go through at least one a month and on occasion I break a socket at the point or shear it in half. I go through a few screw drivers and extractors. Dealing with New England loctite adds to the wear and tear on tools so I need some...

Hi all, I am currently looking through what I currently have for tools already and what I need to purchase I have a budget in place but is somewhat irrelevant as I hit yard sales, flea markets and ebay frequently. I am a stickler for quality I want it to last and not be left hanging in a job...

Hey all, I go to a small town school for heavy equipment and welding. I am currently on my first semester and the time has come for tool research and investment.
