    Recommend me a buy it for life and hand it down screwdriver set

    Yeah, it is way more than the average person. I work with people who use screwdrivers all day and they still haven't worked it out.

    The average person has no idea that screwdrivers wear. They just keep shoving them into the wrong size screws.

    Photobucket's new update Groupsy is a total nightmare!

    What have they done now? I have never use photobucket but I did notice a "groupsy" watermark appear on another forum and wondered what that was about.

    Anyone else a Sun Equipment junkie??

    What is the intended way for the Sun vacuum connector to be used? It is tapered internally. Was it meant to go over hose?

    MTG2500 Is it worth fixing?

    Have you tried to see if it works when connected to the car? Mine will only turn on when connected to a car.

    Anyone else a Sun Equipment junkie??

    I'm an Allen junkie but now I can say I have a Sun too. I do like it but for various reasons I won't be switching from the Allens, they are better for most things.

    What’sit?

    Force Tools (tool brand)

    The only way I've ever heard of them is from the fact that tradetools sell them. Tradetools are almost exclusively in just one state of Australia (QLD). That old force website (http://forcetools.com.au/) seems to list places in other states but those websites are all gone or just as outdated. I...

    Funny 1 star Amazon tool reviews

    I've seen reviews on air tools where they said there was no way to plug it in as there was no cable on it.

    Tale of two start capacitors. Why is the US-made one so much smaller?

    Capacitors do vary in size depending on the manufacturer and exact model number. They may or may not have different current ratings.

    A bit disappointed with Vessel

    But they could sell a 20 pack or something of that one bit. I've seen packs like that of their bits available.
