    Snap-On / Wright Tools comparison.

    Argh-I don't have the packaging anymore so I doubt I could return it to amazon (likely way out of the return window anyways, I've had it for months). Maybe I'll just buy another one. But I do agree that the shape makes the ratchet more useful than the snap-on. I really like the handle on the...

    Snap-On / Wright Tools comparison.

    I have that exact Wright 3/8 in 1/4 body, purchased from Amazon. I believe it's a 36 tooth, unlike my 72 tooth snap-on. I like the feel of the Wright in the hand very much, but I am not so sure about the ratcheting mechanism. I don't have any other Wright ratchets to compare to, but it kinda...

    So I Bought the HF Inspection Camera

    Apologies for bumping a really old thread, but this scope seems to be made by the same manufacturer as the HF model (Autel), and appears to be a better version of even the more expensive HF model at a better price: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0091DJY8Q/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It has an internal...

    Bora Squares Killer Deal on Woot!

    Makapuu followed through and I received the Bora square he most graciously offered for answering his quiz question. I can now see for myself why it's so difficult to discern whether it's etched or ink/silk screened. It kinda looks printed, it kinda looks etched. When they advertise "laser...

    Napa has GW SAE or Metric on sale $29.99

    Related but sort of off topic: I've had multiple sets of both the GW and Cman versions of these wrenches (I swear the ones included with the newer Cman bulk mechanics kits must be made in the same factory as the GW-mine were all Taiwanese). I have found great variance in quality control...

    rail road track anvil

    I have barely used this in the 2 days of owning it, but my intended use case is for shaping/bending aluminum and thin mild/stainless steel for making brackets. It seems perfectly suited to that task--and I love the size and especially the price! Someone else will have to speak to longevity--but...

    rail road track anvil

    Hi all- Just wanted to share some pics of the rail road track anvil that lotsoftools was nice enough to craft for me. Just received this in the mail--got to love flat rate USPS boxes! It has 1918 on the side, which is a sentimental year for me. Next to a fhx80 for size comparison...

    Fascinating--I would have never known any of this had you not prompted me to search around. Truly interesting story. Thanks!

    Bora Squares Killer Deal on Woot!

    Created a Benjamin Franklin medallion that resulted in French pro-American sentiment, resulting in France siding with the US in the war against the British? Just a guess, from the info here: http://www.cristinasjewelry.com/1777-benjamin-franklin-terracotta-medallion-by-jean-baptiste-nini.html

    Bora Squares Killer Deal on Woot!

    Oh, what a strange coincidence. I have never heard of Sebastian Dadler, but I am German in heritage--my real name is D(ustin) Adler. Adler translates to "eagle" in German. But thanks for the reference, I will have to look into him. And I don't profess to know much about engraving or...
