With Hoover being owned by the same parent company as Milwaukee and Ryobi, why are they using their own proprietary battery? It seems that Hoover and Ryobi are selling at least 2 vacuums that are the exact same thing but the Ryobi versions use their own batteries which are substantially...

You want us to list out 10,000 tools for every possible project in case you might not have thought of some?

It depends on what you're doing. You gotta have a pretty big floor jack and 4 tall jack stands if you want to raise all 4 wheels of the car to 21". It also seems a whole lot safer on the Quickjack. You're gonna raise one end of the car 20"+ up and put it on jack stands on a massive tilt then...

There's no real reason you can't reuse one, just don't touch the outside of the mask with your hand then touch your face when you're not wearing it. This is making me glad I keep a few of these in stock and a P100 mask just for general shop use.

I've never ordered tools from Amazon.jp before so I though I'd give it a try. I should have done this before! The transaction was very easy and this all shipped from Japan in like 3 days for $12 shipping. The entire order cost was $65. I picked up 2 pairs of pliers and a Tone ratcheting 21mm...

They have the most comfortable screwdriver handles. Made in Germany, really nice. I like them better than Vessel.

I don’t think I’m seeing the usefulness here.

Got a bunch of new tools in the mail today. First off a major upgrade to my socket rails. The Nepros rails were actually very affordable and look nice as expected. The ends are solid metal and the socket holders are some kind of sticky rubber material with silver flakes. I also picked up...

Clearly the only solution here is for someone else to buy it (not from the affiliate link) and test it on their Honda crank bolt. I don’t have a Honda so... not it. I that that tool is pretty cool though. I think a cool project would be to modify one to use lithium primary batteries so you...

I saw those and I really love that they are 6 point, but unless I'm mistaken they aren't reversible and I also heard they have some quality control issues?

Do you have a source for the Toptul?

Looking for a good set of metric ratcheting combination wrenches. Yes I know this comes up a lot but practically all the topics are about Gearwrench and I don't usually see other brands compared. I want combination wrenches that are reversible, all sizes 8-19mm if possible. The Hazet 606 I'm...

I posted a while ago about the Koken bolt extractors.. well I ended up buying a set from Frank's and they came in the mail today. They come in long and short and I decided to go with the long ones even though they were more expensive because I could foresee situations where the bolt breaks off...

I don't know if it's the very best but my Nepros in blue chrome is the best looking!

Actually it's not the same, I've noticed that things assembled in the USA are consistently worse and more slapdash than things made pretty much anywhere else.
