Coast is an excellent brand of flashlight. I carry one on my belt every day for the last nine years. I've been through countless batteries, but still the original light. It has been dropped in coolant tanks, hydraulic oil tanks, and on rare occasions taken a 15 foot fall to concrete and has...

I agree. Fastenal will also cut to the length you need if you are doing multiple pieces.

It all depends on the buyer. I really doubt there is a buyer out there that would pay that price. At least I hope not. Personally I don't see $200 there, but that's just me. Some people here will be happy to see this though. It makes there collections worth something in the six figures. :rocker:

Rednotch try tooltopia.com. They have decent prices for new and sell singles.

I love my Gearwrench 60 tooth. I have the standard set and the flex set and they haven't failed me yet. Used professionally

I have 16 1/2 feet worth of extensions in my box. the shortest is an 1.5" wobble in 3/8" drive and the longest is a 36" 3/8" drive. At my job there is a machine with a 1.5" access hole and the bolt is about 39" in. I got the 36" and still have to put a 6" on it. The first time took forever with...

I can't speak for either brand but I can recommend harbor freight. Personally I don't like their tools or products, but this one is a winner. They also offer an adapter kit and your total investment will be far less. Just my opinion.

Was the replaceable blade marked china or the body of the knife?

I picked up a Stanley from menards and really like it. The reason I bought it was because it had a cigarette lighter plug attachment. It works great for my side by side. I believe its 6 amp and switches from charging to float automatically.

Get the Kennedy! I have a 5300mp and love it. The one thing to think about is that the drawer pulls are not flush with the box. For some people that can be an issue. I roll my box around 28,000 square feet all day and dont have drawers coming open.

Consider getting a 220v. Much more versatile than a 110v. As far as the original question; go hobart. We use a hobart mig and stick in my shop and have had zero problems. Great welders at a great price. As someone said before miller makes hobart and in fact the hobart will have a miller branded gun.

First remove the moving jaw. There is a screw in the middle that backs out and then you can lift the jaw off. At this point you may have to remove the threaded collar on the hex side of the shaft. There should be thrust bearings on both sides. Now remove the shaft and slide assembly and put in a...

Check out Proto. They cost more but they are flawless. My shop has several and I have one. Always work great and zero failures.
