    The Klein Tool addiction thread! :)

    I just bought this set. Klein #32378. The tips are combination robertson #1 & #2 and slotted. Guaranteed once you try them on electrical stuff (receptacles, breakers, etc) you'll fall in love. The screws have to be where the square is at a 45 degree angle to the slot (I've come across a few that...

    Which 1/4” impact bits are you all using?

    Does anyone have any Chapman sets? Maybe wouldn't use in an impact? Made in USA. Can get at HJE. Their slotted bit design has me interested. Supposed to have a nice parallel grind at the tip. Curious if anyone can say how good they are. I have DeWalt bits and the ph2's do seem to be trash after...

    Still using T8 lights for new installs?

    Haha, struck a nerve eh? I've handled the Keystone's and wired them up. I guess I don't have a lot of experience with others to compare them to, but they seem ok. Our local commercial electrical supplier is the one that suggested them to us. They are linear fixtures not wraps so I suppose...

    Bolting Vise Stand to Floor

    For the 4 post lift I used 3/4 drop ins. The particular 4 post lift was designed to be portable with casters. In order for it to be portable you couldn't use wedge anchors obviously as the base plate would have had to lift completely over an exposed threaded anchor and then you would have had...

    Bolting Vise Stand to Floor

    Here's some example drop in anchor stuff: mechanical anchors setting tool installation info or epoxy version like what Rusted Nut suggested: McMaster-Carr Hilti I've used this epoxy. Sometimes they have it at Menards. Fastenal has it to. For some reason the A7P-501KIT I'd typically use...

    Bolting Vise Stand to Floor

    Try searching for drop in anchors and see what you think. You drill the appropriate sized hole and to the correct depth, drop in the anchor, then use a special punch to drive down a wedge at the bottom of the female threaded anchor. You are left with a permanent flush female threaded sleeve in...
