Usually they have the metric scale on one side and sae on the other

That's how I store both mine.

I went with a Global Industrial fan on the recommendation of a good friend/neighbor. It has been fantastic. Mine is installed on the back wall opposite from the garage door. When it is on it basically creates a vacuum that ***** all the hot air out of the garage. Obviously the coolest spot to...

I turned onto a street near my office right behind the Snap On truck a few months ago. He stopped behind a shop and I pulled in next to him. Introduced myself and got his card for next time I need something. Nice of him to entertain a hobby guy like myself. I've also seen a Mac truck around...

Went to an estate sale today chasing an M18 sawzall and framing nailer. They were both gone by the time I got there, but this stool made a good consolation prize.

I think it is to access recessed fasteners.

I have an install coming up next weekend where a set of these would come in very handy. Plus I've wanted them for a long time and this is a great excuse. I'd love the Snap On set but I can't take a second mortgage at current interest rates so they are out. Right now I've narrowed it down to the...

I've bought a handful of Snap On ratchets on ebay as well. And a boat load of other Snap On hand tools. It's a favorite pastime of mine lol. The only "bad" experience I ever had was a set of soft grip instinct screw drivers I bought that turned out to be hard grip. Still got a great deal on them...

Looks like you've gotten your money's worth out of that one

Great now there's another Estwing hammer that I want and have no use for

This is making more sense!

Doc has you covered
