OK, I'm an "internet hard ***," whatever that is--sounds pretty formidable. And beside that, I did a good job? Thanks for the compliments! I already stated that Linus doesn't need GJers or other conventional tool users...you may have missed my posts #120 and #125...so you also agree with me on...

That's arguing hypotheticals, but leap-frogging my point--the fact is that so far, no one in GJ actually owns the screwdriver. Apparently, neither do you. So, while it might seem that you have found a weakness in the herd to sink your teeth into in typical GJ fashion, the truth is that there's...

Yep. As I mentioned in my post #120, I was completely clueless to what this Linus and his LTT and screwdriver was all about. Once I looked into it online, I understood a lot better. I also commented in that post that I now understood most of the other posts in this thread were meaningless or...

Haha, so true!. Time marches on, and things get left behind. I'm 68, drove used cars all my life, and have done a lot of DIY drum brake jobs. But when I first found a pair of these drum brake pliers at a yard sale about 5 years ago, I didn't know what they were either without researching. I...

Yep, that's the ticket! That's the market this LTT driver was created for. It's candy for that particular kind of eye. Linus and friends have that kind of eye through which this driver was envisioned. It also can be a very elitist kind of eye (an attitude which I repeatedly had to deal with as a...

Wow. I'm kind of surprised how many comments this thread has evoked. I decided to look into this Linus character a little more, since I'd never heard of him or his LTT. Apparently, this fellow's pretty popular in the online tech community. Wiki reports he has 22 million subscribers between his...

What brand and paint color is the NIX app telling you? Its website says the company is partnered with top paint brands, so the scanner must be giving you some kind of info. Pantone colors are universal. Is the problem that you don't have a listed paint vendor close to you?

I worked in the PC computer service, building and repair business for many years. Never once had I ever a need for a ratcheting screwdriver. The problem is that there is very little torque tension on a PC screw to require a ratchet. Always used long shank screwdrivers--once you break the screw...

I recall reading about this vise in Post #3, and I too remember it being made of wood. I also seem to recall that when the facility closed they were not able to find a new home for it, so they burned it.

You should post them in the RHFT Type Study Thread too.

The ambitious crusader who solves this one will indeed have my respect.

I think this avenue of reasoning is going to bring us closer to the truth. As I argued in Post #93, the answer is not going to be found in trying to shoehorn SR into a known mfr's branding, even if one of those known mfrs actually made the tools for SR. I'm not sure whether identifying the make...

Yes, this is essentially correct. All of the raised panel SK/Lectrolite end wrenches starting in 1953 were made in LC's Defiance Ohio plant. When Wayne bought out Lectrolite and SK in 1962, it dropped the Lectrolite name so that the raised panel SK wrenches now only showed SK (or later SK Tools...

Just the fact that you are thinking of reversing the blade is the evidence that, in the back of your mind, something's not quite right with using it like you're cutting wood. The back of your mind is not wrong. With a typical 7-1/4 circular saw, a fine-cut blade even for wood is at least 40...

Yes, I know of this logo, which is the one brief hiccup in a long line of Walden branding apathy. I also knew that someone was going to post this to demonstrate they were able to find an exception to what I said. But it really doesn't negate what I was saying. I said we find very little effort...
