I had the Rigid "Universal Mobile Mitre Saw Stand" for a little less than a decade. It burned in my garage fire last year and I just replaced the saw and stand with Dewalt, but I have only good things to say about the Ridgid stand. It was sturdy, but pretty light for mobile work and rolled...

Wiseline Tools has 15% off Dewalt and Stanley. They didn't change the sale prices first, so considering that's like a stacking discount - pretty good!

Until I read these comments, I didn't know QR/non-QR was something I was supposed to feel so strongly about. I'm simply not that biased towards either. I have both styles and honestly never gave it much thought. I might grab a non-QR ratchet if it's extra-long and I'm going to reef on it, or...

I came to the thread to make a similar comment. In large-wrench sizes, the length and girth of the wrench can be dramatically different between brands and price-tiers. I think it stands to reason that the material costs are more of a factor when you may be buying 2lbs of steel. Someone...

Wuben G5 is on sale for ~$27 for Prime Days. The white-with-blue-accents version is a couple bucks more, but I'm awfully tempted because it looks like something Starfleet might commission.

I think it makes sense to have a limited set of highly-used tools organized for easy access, but beyond that it's better to simply have things organized so that you know where to find them. For me, that looks like: My main tool bag is an 11" electrician's open-top bag that has a heavily...

I've been using them and they've worked quite well. I wish I could say I've tested them exhaustively, but I'm getting ready to move and most of my tools are packed away - these are still out for impromptu tasks but I'm not doing any "projects" at the moment. Typically I would do a lot more...

I concur. TTC's test is your best objective data, but also bear in mind that the faces on Wera's version are unique - slightly concave. It not only actually works to increase the torque limit, but it's great for slightly deformed heads or where there's contamination inside the recess. The...

Milwaukee bit holder for $12.98 - one of the Home Depot Father's Day Sale Items Father's day is traditionally the second-best time of year to buy power tools (next to Christmas). Unfortunately, a lot of the power tool deals are recycled and have been going on for two months now - albeit they...

Yes, it's operating oddly. I've noticed that after I log in though, if I just wait it will first take me to the "reset your password page", then redirect me to the main page. As-in, I don't need to reset, just wait for it to finish its cycle. I'm not getting an email like you are though...

Speaking of sockets, Princess Auto has Astro Pneumatic "Nano socket" clones. They come in little foam trays too.

Those are V-series Craftsman/Facom sockets on an aluminum tray. Crazy!

Yes! That's a useful technique too if you want to use solvent or special cleaner, for example, to wash something, but don't want to fill your tank with it. The movement of the ultrasonic wave will be transferred inside your bag/container.

I want one badly enough I might just have to get a red tool to sit next to my yellow ones. I'm glad this finally came to market - I saw no reason why there couldn't be an air-hammer replacement. I understand Milwaukee patented something - but there's nothing magical about the mechanics to...

They make inexpensive ultrasonic cleaners for mouthguards specifically. Like $20. You can totally use one for everything - but if you do, I recommend you clean things inside ziplocks or jars (or whatever) and just keep clean water in the tank. That way you're not cross-contaminating everything.
