Not in a small box, just in the same drawer sometimes.

I have strong negative feelings about this kind of stuff. I have a lot of tools, a lot of fasteners, a lot of consumables - all of it neatly labelled and in toolboxes or Durham Mfg cabinets. But I feel like I already have too much. I have a single industrial tote of Land Rover parts plus a...

I feel you on this, man. I have the 30-ish piece Vessel torsion ball bit set. I thought I lost the S1 bit, and searched high and low for it. It's not in any Vessel catalogs including Japan, they just straight up don't sell that bit. For some reason, an industrial supplier in France sells 2-packs...

Yeah, no matter what I just don't have floor space for a mill right now, not without giving up floor space for things that are more important to me. I used to think I wanted a jig-borer, but even those are probably more space than I can spare. Some of these benchtop options are really appealing...

I do see a lot of those round column Enco type mills popping up on marketplace pretty frequently, I've just been extremely hesitant about a round column

So I hear a lot of feedback here, I'll respond to it with a couple details. Like I said in my original post: I'm really just looking for dovetail columns, no round columns. Also, a floor model machine simply isn't happening. I can't fit a Bridgeport right now, I can't fit a jig-borer, I'm...

I hear a lot of downsides to a benchtop mill, but floor space is at an extreme premium in my garage and will be for at least another 5 years. I've got a benchtop Wen drill press that has done right by me, doing things past it's limits like putting 5/8" holes in 3/8" mild steel. I would really...

there is no risk

Lithium batteries are not going to cause issues to your diag tools and torque wrenches. They're just not.

I reported one of those pages and Facebook replied to my report to say they were doing nothing wrong. The one I reported probably stole thousands of $$ successfully based on how much traffic it was getting.

Do we know if Snap-On sourced the Williams US made L key sets from Eklind or from Bahco? I've used those for years and they've been great

42 Snap-On, 3 Williams, 3 Craftsman, 2 Icon, 1 Hazet, 2 Matco I guess it's a lot for most people, but not significant on GarageJournal.

Man, I wish I could find 434 1/2 jaws, but there don't seem to be folks out there producing parker jaws really. I've thought about removing mine and having a local machinist clone them, then get them heat treated. I believe a user named KMScott used to make them but has stopped.

Oh this is cool. I have no desire to buy Ridgid or Ryobi battery tools, but now I wonder how the 13" Ridgid planer compares to a Dewalt.

I would take any new-off-the-truck Snap-On dual 80 with a 2026 date code over literally every product SK ever made. No thanks.
