I carried one everday for years, until I became a carpenter. Once I started wearing a tool belt 8+ hours a day I quit carrying one. When i was overseas, I had a leatherman and a folder on my belt, and when my iotv was on, that had a gerber and a seat belt cutter.

My favorite knives are my lenox ones. I have the retractable blade in my tool belt, and the folding one in my back pocket in the weekends!

I have one at work, and several at home. The current job I am working on is installing office furniture. Being a carpenter, and used to wearing a tool belt, carrying a tote from room to room was a nice change of pace. That tote has a drill, several drill bits, a glazier bar, a 1/4" socket set...

Hello All! First off, Love the site. I spend many an hour on site. I am a carpenter by trade, which might cause some confusion. I am looking for advice on building a shed. More or less foundation questions. What did you guys use/build. My plan this summer is to build a 12x12(tentatively)...

It was a cheap tester that a friend of mine had. It does have a hose crimped to it, but had an adapter for the smaller spark plug. That adapter is stuck to it. I just ordered a thin wall socket.

Hello All! I am wondering is there is a tool manufacturer that makes either a thin wall, or super thin wall sockets. What I'm dealing with is an adapter for a compression tester is in the head of my honda. The problem being is that the spark plug tube is very small. Its just big enough for the...

I have pair of dykes, and linesmans for work. Absolutely love them. I haven't found a better pliers for working with 9-wire.

Hello All, I am hoping to soon be a home owner, and had a couple questions. I am looking to set up a couple tool kits for various needs. I hope to put together a plumbing set, and an electrical set. I have general carpentry set(I am a carpenter). So I am wondering what you guys have for those...

My wifes great uncles built a tow bar for his Seabee out of an old bed frame.

16" oc is standard for most framing.

The system is a cool idea being able to interchange pouches, but I have found the pouches to be kind of lackluster. There is a lack of tool holders on the right side, which is where tools are held most often. Another problem is the clips. I broke 3 clips during school, doing relatively light...

I know its not quite a garage related question, but has to do with tools non the less. Recently, I finished school for building construction, and got a job as a carpenter. During school I bought a Tough Built tool belt from menards. Used it in school, and didn't put too many hard hours on it...

Alright gents, I have gotten the switch wired, plumbed, and its running. The only problem now when the tank gets to 100 psi, the existing pressure relief valve opens, and lets all the air out. I'm not sure of how to make that not happen? Any thoughts on how to make this not happen? Also, the...

I figured out that much. Its more the plumbing part of installing it that i'm unsure about.

Here are some pics of the new switch: It is a new switch that I picked up on ebay. Unfortunately, it didn't come with intstructions, and thats why I seek help!
