Thanks! Makes sense. I had never seen one before. I appreciate the help. monomach: I wish I could offer more context, but I can't. Nobody knows what the building was used for. Cheers!

<strike>School me on Mag-Lite here, On the lens portion of mine it says "Mini maglite LED." I assume what you're showing is different?</strike> If so, is it worth the upgrade? I love mine quite a bit, but it has its flaws. The LED unit keeps coming loose, resulting in sporadic on/off/flashing...

I figured for a boiler the input/output diameters would be larger. 2" seems a little small to heat anything aside from a large office. Also, what would be at the end covering the supposed "heat exchanger"?

Garage journal, I've been away for a while, but I stumbled across this...thing? I saw while hiking at Stewart State Park in Newburgh, NY. It's in an area just south of the current airport, formerly used as a buffer zone for supersonic aircraft. I'm having trouble figuring out what this is/was...

The knipex aren't really the same. The Snap-ons are worth it.

I would say upgrade to Snap-on if it's a set you use quite often. If you plan on doing this for the rest of your life, you won't regret it.

There typically isn't an on/off switch. You would pop out the drive end and turn in around.

I work for a corporate aircraft mfgr, and at our service center we are responsible for our own tool control. They supply us with foam, and we have a form we fill out that gets turned in to the chief inspector, operations manager, and the security manager. At the main plant, they use the snap-on...

There are also drill bits for composite materials such as these: https://www.onsrud.com/product/Item/m/itemDetail.html?itemId=86-102 It all depends on what material you are drilling into. HSS won't work too well for stainless or titanium, etc. etc.

I personally own an S-K set in my toolbox at work. There have been situations where I NEEDED a snap-on swivel. They work much better at steeper angles. In fact, the new minimum tool list for my company calls out, specifically, for snap on swivels.

Snap-on, by far, makes the best in this category.

Snap-on, matco, koken, etc. many places have them.

Yes I think they are worth adding. You'll use them. Get a pretty deep offset though.
