    Will a Stihl 2 in 1 sharpener (3/8" Picco) sharpen an Echo 3/8 LP chain?

    I don't know but first would check if the file size is the same and the angle is the same. I did modify a Husky jig that fits on the bar/ tooth to do Stihl. I don't know if it is just me but find after a few uses, the Stihl 2 in 1 used on a smaller tooth Stihl chain gets an overbite and I...

    GOJO original formula hand cleaner, discontinued?

    I miss GOJO. I have been using stuff with pumis in it and hate the gritty feeling.

    Who makes the longest 1/2” ratchet

    Yes but so what, they still work. I used one last week to take off hydraulic lines on a payloader with an 18" 3/8 breaker bar.

    Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

    It looks a little like the injector pump wrench for my Olds 350 diesel

    how many sharpenings can you get out of a chainsaw chain?

    A touch up, maybe 1 or 2 strokes. If you saw sparks, maybe 5. I try to get each tooth about the same. more or less. Also, for me, one side of the chain requires maybe twice the strokes to keep the teeth about the same size.

    High current (1A and 5A) incandescent automotive test light

    I was working on a Payloader, no headlights or park lights. I unhooked the headlights and park lights worked fine. hook up a headlight , nothing now worked again. It was getting voltage, but not enough amps. Problem was there was like one strand of wire left where the payloader articulates.

    I am going broke buying duplicates of tools

    You need to be better putting stuff away, plain and simple. Maybe keep a list of every tool you use and account for them at the end of every job.

    Recommend a 3/8 Impact Socket Strategy

    Yesterday I used my HF 3/8" impact wobble extension and it made the job easier with that little offset.

    Any love for old snap on ratchets?

    I have a FH936 that I bought NOS years ago and never used. Now I am working some days at a remote location and really like using it there.

    Rustoleum car paint job and adding clear coat

    I am guessing with a hardner, you can work the paint sooner. Basecoat/clearcoat is properly done at the same time and is designed as one finished product. Base =color and clear =depth/protection. You have single stage, everything in one product. Does Rustoleum make a compatible clear...
