Hey everyone, I recently came into possession of a completely rusted out and seized up bottle jack, that I assume is fairly old (but not ancient) based on it's design. It has "Made in USA" and "NH-51" stamped on the bottom, and "NH-53" stamped on the pump lever housing. Any idea what brand...

If you wanted to go cool, you could restore up some older skateboard decks and make a peg-board type hanging system out of the decks. A lot of pro skateboarders do that. Or you could do something like this: http://www.getaddictedto.com/skatetruck-wall-hook/#sthash.5b7fVtK5.dpbs That's a...

I don't know what exactly the lumber situation in Alaska is, but anywhere in the 48 lower that would be a rip off. Did you try just asking them?

Lathe tricks to make worm gears? That's a skill that won't be around much longer.

The guy wants his stuff clean, what's it to you dirty bums? Nothing wrong with a little pride. I don't have an answer for you, just wanted to yell at the nay sayers who haven't seen shiny chrome on anything they own in a decade.

Wow, what a salesman. :lol_hitti

What line of work are you in? I don't understand what level of tool allowance they were paying you that would justify this insane expenditure, especially Snap On tools. Proto / Blackhawk for example has massive discounts for bulk corporate purchases (through MSC etc). That makes sense. Snap On...

http://www.toolbarn.com/bosch-dg250lce.html Die grinder with variable speed. That's what you wanted. 5.8 amp. Set the RPM at what you want and be done with it. Just rig up a shield and you are set. You are being very confrontational for no reason. You asked a vague question and gave little...

You aren't going to get that answer. No one knows the technical data and there are almost no material scientists / engineers on this forum. Everyone posting about one is better than the other are just going on anecdotal evidence, that is to say, worthless evidence. When you spend $120+ for a...

When you have access to both, cordless > air every day.

No, no, I was correct the first time. Thanks for your input though :lol_hitti

He knows that people on this forum are notorious cheap skates and Snap On fanboys, so honestly it was a smart move. Or, would have been if he didn't get caught.

Get a usb scanner attachment and then get some free software for your laptop.

Can't justify a 1/4 ratchet that long that is still 36 tooth. It's not like you need a smaller tooth count for strength, you'll snap any fasteners way before that. If it had 72+ teeth then it would be a real potential purchase in my opinion.

You learn this quick when learning some basic smithing and forging techniques. Very quick.
