    Plumbing question

    Hi guys quick question. So I'm an industrial mechanic by trade but not up to date on plumbing as I should be, when moving this weekend I noticed as I was hooking up the supply line to my refrigerator my stop valve rotated on the copper pipe it's connected to, but didn't leak! Can anyone tell me...

    Does Anybody Stick Weld Anymore?

    It depends on what industry you're in, when I was a sawmill millwright and everything was rusty dusty and needed maximum tensile strength for those conditions all we did was stick weld with 7018s and you lived by the torch, a man could get by a lot better not knowing how to weld as long as he...

    What Tools Getting Worse Over Time? Which Getting Better?

    Similar experience here I bought a 1/4 and 3/8 Pittsburgh Pro ratchets to have as backups for my USA Craftsmans, well next thing I know I'm reaching for them first, their smooth action and low profile head is really nice for some of the machines at work, I can't speak for longevity but for 15...

    Anyone else love knipex?

    I never leave home without them, my cobra 7s or my 10 inch comfort grips are in my pocket 100% of the time at work, I was a dedicated blue handle man before my boss turned me on to these, I still love my 440s regardless however Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

    My small but growing DBE wrench collection

    I LOVE DBE's, as an industrial mechanic you ain't worth your salt unless you have some tools on hand at all times, not a lot of stuff just the essentials, DBE's allow me to carry only a couple wrenches but have all the important sizes in my pocket, my favorite is my Proto 1/2 X 9/16 (two very...

    Whats a good air impact ?

    Back when I was a millwright I used one of the newer composite Chicago Pneumatic guns with great results, day after day of abuse most of the time on fasteners over 1" and it never let me down, this thing has survived drastic falls, being used as a hammer and a sub-par air system full of...
