I have that exact hammer. In fact, I had the orange version since the 90’s, and broke the handle about 4 years ago. My local Snap-on guy replaced it on warranty, no questions asked. Also, that hammer is worth every penny of what they are asking for it. Bang around some open fuel areas where...

Welcome! You'll learn a lot. I know I have.

Why sure! That's a bench top practice shifter. Just kidding of course. I have no idea what it is, but it sure looks cool!

There's a brand called Pressa that provides a good 1/4 drive torque wrench that's the older deflecting beam style wrench. When it come to small increments such as 10ft pounds or less, this is my go to torque wrench. It's accurate and made pretty well. It's hard to justify Snap-on or CDI prices...

Beautiful sets I say. I have similar sets, but I had to build my sets one component at a time buying socket sets individually from ratchets and breaker bars). About the only thing I did differently is I went with mid-length sockets rather than standard shallow. In my experience, I haven't been...

I like to pack smaller bearings by hand, but larger ones using a Lisle bearing packer such as what's shown in image 2 with the clear cup and red press down packing top.

Been a long time since I've wrench professionally. That said, I didn't use open end much, but when I did, it was a life saver. In my particular experience, I used Snop-on Flank Drive Plus wrenches and the open end with the teeth were life savers on rounded nuts and bolts. There were fasteners...

Very interesting indeed. Never put much thought into how those are mad,mane now I know. Funny, I guess I thought they would be more simple inside, but I guess not.

Skookum1: you mentioned that there has never been a PC entirely made in the USA. That would be incorrect. In fact my Uncle Rodney ran a company that engineers the computers this country uses to control and intra connect missle defense systems. Every single part (processors, micro processors...

Exactly what JE said. By the way, how's Vegas? I did ten years in that town before I got out. Glad I did too with all the issues that seem to be cropping up. Back to the point, welcome to GJ. You'll learn a lot (God knows I've learned a ton from this site!).

I use Texas rigs on my decoys, so I ended up using a nail in the rafters or the garage and hang them by a carbiner. Not a bad way to go and what's nice is you can hang them anywhere. Obviously if we're talking standing decoys, it's a different situation. One which I haven't had to deal with as...

You got service inside of a 2 hour window and you are complaining about the price? Let me put it this way...when one of my clients calls and asks for my service, no problem I charge then normal pricing. When they want my service inside a 2 hour window, the price just tripled. Why? Because I'm...

You know, in the end, after we've breathed our last breath, we all have to stand in front of the man upstairs and account for our lives and actions. I'd do exactly what the OP did. Doesn't matter what's in it for me here...it's what awaits afterwards that I'm concerned about. My hats off to...

Not that I'm smart enough to have figured out what 52 wrench has already figured out, but I can answer the question of why alter. Brand new lift: it's because the newest greatest stuff can always be improved. That's why there is newer and greater things later down the road. For all we know, 52...

I've got that same saw PT. great saw. You'll love it. Question: why is it in a vise?
