Sign me up, I’d like a free set of SK tools

Ebay recently changed their rules. Under the OLD rules, buy it now had to be 10% more than the starting price, now under the NEW rules it must be 30% more than the starting price. Sometimes when I sell I try do free shipping etc. but I need to start the price a little higher to cover this...

You should be able to easily lift the door. If not the springs are probably worn or if it is the coil type that sits above the door rather than along side the tracks, maybe out of adjustment. Call a garage door company. Those are dangerous to adjust, they are under alot of tension. As for...

And all of those screws have a torque spec. The barrell nut on Savage centerfire rifles also has a torque spec and requires a special wrench. To gunsmith properly certain specialty tools are needed.

For working on guns get the Brownells hollowground screwdrivers and their inch pound torque driver http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=25706/Product/MAGNA-TIP-reg-ADJUSTABLE-TORQUE-HANDLE http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=41571/Product/MAGNA-TIP-reg-SETS These will work well for scope...

I have found 18V DeWalt works well but not for hammer drills. For that I use corded. It seems that the battery operated hammer drills just run out of power after a couple of holes in concrete. But the same drill will run for dozens of holes in wood, metal or plastic. Good luck!

Some wireless routers have stronger signals than others. Try this http://home.cisco.com/en-us/products/family?icid=homepage-hero1-learn-more Specifically, EA4500 and if that does not work try a repeater such as http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/wre54g

Read what I wrote... I said it may have changed and I directed others to read the thread and draw their own conclusions...

I have some raised panel made in Japan Craftsman wrenches from the 1980s as well as some Craftsman pliers also made in Japan and 1980s vintage. The difference as I see it was that in the 1980s those made in Japan tools were only sold in sets and they were so called special purchases. The...

We moved last year. Long distance, New Hampshire to Florida and our stuff was in storage for about 6 weeks. Long story short we had the extra coverage and a lot of stuff got damaged. We watched them load and they were very careful. Storage was another matter. We think thats where the...

Those are all good sets, but if you need to remake a pick into something else, nothing beats HF http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-pick-and-hook-set-66836.html http://www.harborfreight.com/7-piece-pick-and-hook-set-93958.html

The T handles look useful. I could use them.

That is a very fair price, jump on it! Engraving hurt resale, if you are going to use the tools who cares?

Yeah, PayPal and their disputes. I keep a separate Ebay account and don't use a linked Paypal account. For example, I purchased a cell phone that was not unlocked as described. I emailed the seller, followed all his instructions to unlock it and it still did not work. I politely asked him to...
