Not sure why but I’m told the brushless models are a bit more powerful.

For the most part the people on this site are amazing. I learn from them almost daily. Thank you all!

Hard to say from the pic but it looks like a standard Delta or Peerless single faucet. Available at all the big box stores.

The Silver Streak pencil by Laco mentioned above has a sharpener built into the cap. Just pull off the cap, flip it over, insert the lead into the hole, and twist. Couldn't be simpler.

Used the Laco Silver Streak pencil for years in a welding shop. Retractable lead sharpener in the cap, pocket clip. You can buy replacement lead cheaply.

I sure do like my Klein cushion grip screwdrivers. Used them for thirty years.

Looks like what we used to put in tee slots of a stamping press to make moving dies easier. The dies had a solid bottom plate with cutouts for scrap to fall through,

I've had my Fluke 87V for nearly twenty years and it performs very well. Had it serviced once to verify accuracy.

Love my fifteen or so year old 87V. It's been used quite a bit and I doubt I would trade it for anything. Expensive but worth every dime.

Depends on what you are cutting and how neatly it needs to be cut. Most plasma dross can be removed neatly and quickly with a chisel.

If you got caught doing that you'd be out of work. Ouch! Sorry, couldn't resist I'm joking

I prefer any store where I can handle the tools myself, rather than ask a counter guy to get something for me. I like Home Depot because it is close to me.

+1 on JB Tool Sales. I've also had good luck with Crawford Tool near Atlanta.

I doubt a mic is going to be any help. Calipers will be for sure.

Bought a set of Felo precision screwdrivers a year or so ago and love them. Found very good prices and service at Crawford Tool near Atlanta.
