    Question about mini splits?

    Any reason to have non-locking extensions if I were to have locking extensions?

    Non-locking extensions = that sinking feeling I have as I hear the socket fall off the extension but not hit the ground while working on my car.

    Makita 9557 paddle switch angle grinder, ISO real world opinions/reviews

    I have the 9565PCV which, I think, is just the variable speed version with a paddle. I love it! but I really like paddle switches.

    Suggestions for a small bench top lathe?

    YES! Absolutely. The bigger the lathe the cheaper the tooling, in my experience. A CXA tool post will have plenty of used industrial tool holders for cheap on eBay. A AXA won't. Same thing with R8 taper vs 50 taper for mills.
