I use a lot of gearwrench at work, have broken a few pieces. I always go to fastenal to warranty them, it helps to have a good relationship with the rep there.

I use one of the 4-1/2" version on my angle grinder at work. This is all I will buy from now on from the safety factor alone. I was cutting in a vise when the grinder caught on something slamming the cutting wheel into the vise. I was shaken but okay, if that were a bonded abrasive style that I...

decent electric pressure washers start at 1500 and go up. Also all of them with any real pressure require 220v. They are heavy, bulky, and personally I dont think they work aswell as there gas powered counterparts.

Growing up we heated with coal, so a similar operation, dump heavy bag into the hopper on the back of the stove. We had an old grain hopper that held 3 tons of coal, with a duct work shoot straight into the hopper on the stove. It was all gravity fed and the shoot had a gate at the end of it...

I have the 28th edition, sits on my desk and use it atleast twice a week

I am a maintenance tech on CNC machines and support equipment as well, I use a gear wrench set of short allen/hex bits. They are not impact but work very well on the end of an impact driver. I have not broken 1 in the last year and a half, and that was my own fault, nothing with the tools.

I got a pair of surefire EP3's in a pinch and am very happy with them, all day comfort, stays up, "adjustable" hearing protection. They have a small cap that will allow some sounds through with them open, if you close them you get more of a traditional ear plug. I have found them sufficient...

Growing up roofing with my father (33 years in the union) when ever we replaced roof decking we always used 3/4" ply wood. It will take out the waves that you see and will look alot better when it is done because of it.

That's a really good price, that is the set that I bought for work, only needs around 15 pcs total to be a full set of tools, for an industrial mechanic at least

Check out granquartz.com or regents stone products. That is where we buy all of our diamond tooling from. They have stuff from cheap and useless all the way to real expensive.

I have used alot of taps with 8 point sockets, also they are useful for easy outs as you can get alot more torque through a ratchet than you can a tap handle.

This would be awesome! i love my ol 7.3 but the interior is a bit dated. Would love to have a 7.3 with all the creature comforts of a 2017 truck!

Lowes has a ton of them in the Syracuse NY area

I don't have a problem with Kobolt warranty, I returned 9 tape measure, 2 1/2" drive ratchets, 8" slip joint pliers, and 2 #2 phillips screw drivers last week without issue. The girl at the counter even laughed when i gave her my license and saw the list of warranty returns I have.

Im an mechanic at a granite counter top fabricator. Everything in our shop runs on air and all of our air lines are flexzilla. Have probably over 1000' of it in the shop, and I love the stuff. When is starts to leak I just cut off the end and use hose barbs and pinch clamps. It works very well...
