A recent thread on 12V test lights reminded me of this load tester I put together. It’s inspired by the Lisle 28800 that applies an 800mA load and displays volts. For this one, I used one of the many “waterproof battery meters” found on Ebay and a starter relay from a 1980’s Dodge I once...

I came across some 3/32 thick polyethylene foam that works well as semi reusable cover. It’s cushioning foam like used to protect appliances and furniture during shipping. I use blue painters tape to hold it in place. The only problem is I got the foam as remnant material and I’ve never found a...

For certain jobs there's no substitute. No one has mentioned the chain travel per stroke of the lever is painfully slow. Like 1 inch per stroke on a 3/4 ton.

Just received the 150 and it’s smaller than expected, it’s like desk drawer or pocket carry size. I should have paid closer attention to the side by side size comparison. Wish they would have made a 180mm

I came across this 3 ton chain hoist when shopping for a 1 ton. I think it is essentially a Jet L100 series hoist, at least when comparing parts diagrams. $144 as of this date. Southwire Hoist

Mine arrived today and for $70 I'm impressed. It's definitely a keeper for me. Thank you gamp945!

Thanks for posting. I’ve thought about trying to rig something like this using a couple magswitches but this price has me rethinking that idea.

Mine arrived today. Hammer is also made in Germany and looks to have the same head and handle as the Rotband Plus version but without the handle guard and the head is attached using conventional wedges. Punches and chisels are stamped "red" but look identical to other Gedore punches I have. A...

Thanks. I've been looking for some decent chisels to add to my tool bag. Hoping they will extend screwdriver life.

Hey if it works for you then it's the right tool for the job. I like it.

I’m planning to purchase an Ego trimmer soon. Basing my decision on their battery and the available inverter. The Ego 2.5 ah battery is good for 140wh which is more watt hour for the buck than typical high capacity power tool batteries. Couple the battery with a relatively cheap Ego inverter...

I keep a file and some other long items in a 14" Klein zipper bag like the gray one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B11LN6SM/?tag=atomicindus08-20

At $54 this is a good price for a Weiler 8” wire wheel with very fine .006 wire. Decent quality wire wheels don’t come cheap and this is the best price I've seen on this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0102793SU/?tag=atomicindus08-20
