In for a shot. Thanks

If GJ has the best knowledge why send them somewhere else? Then we would have to be correcting their misguided education. Yes, the main forums are for for the finer points of tools and their use, but give the new learners a place to reference and learn so they don't have to post some of the...

I have seen the School me! thread of recent. Yeah there was some fun and some jokes, but I think most of us knew the OP just phrased the question wrong. "What are the pros and cons of a 6 point socket vs a 12 pt socket?" might have been a better question. This is to the admin and mods along...

We started our fire with the same device last night.

Never trust a jack when your body is underneath anything, always use stands. Why risk yourself if a .10 cent o-ring fails.

Hmmm, comparing a 3/8" impact wrench against 1/4" impact drivers. Who thinks an impact driver is the appropriate tool for lug nuts?

I use this at work. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-folding-lock-back-ulility-knife-black/p-00938002000P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3 Uses a standard utility blade so no need to sharpen, just replace the blade. And if you loan it and the blade gets "treated unkindly" or lost, no big deal.
