I have one of those hacksaws, but mine is missing pieces. Could you upload some closeup picks of the two pieces that hold the blade. I could just randomly make something that worked, but if prefer to try to replicate the originals as closely as possible so I could have it like it was originally.

I tried to buy an e240 and e241 and after a 2mo wait zoro said they were unavailable and canceled the order. I also found an E242 on Amazon and it came in a couple weeks. (So I'm still looking for an E240 and E241. I could just buy a starter, but I just can't. Justify 60 bucks for a the smallest...

I know this is a few years old, but I thought I would add this because it's directly relevant and hopefully anyone else coming across this and thinking the same thing will think twice. I used to work at a lab that did among other things, analysis of work place accidents. (More like disasters)...

Certainly optional, but I'll throw out investigating a different container. While that's a fine tool.bag, I don't know your daughters, and I know I'm risking making broad general assumptions and ascribing traits based on gender alone, generally women are more concerned with asthetics than we...

Honestly, how many of these people REALLY practice what they preach. Some are likely professionals that buy tools using that logic for professional purposes. And for those purposes, that logic is totally legit. But clearly they are not buying tools for a hone shop like that. Either they have...

That's a good point. They are not even targeting you as a customer. Not knocking them for it,vas you pointed out, thats the market segment they feel they need to be in to survive as a company. But it's something to keep in mind.

Count me as another happy customer of theirs. I sent them a VTS450 seriestwo stage hydrogen regulator and an old SR-500 oxygen and sr-510 acetylene single stage regulators. They all came back looking brand new. I bought the two SR500 series regulators in Ohio about 20 years ago with a big lot...

At 180 dollars you just can't go wrong. That falls in line with my theory on trying new things. In many cases it makes sense not to go for the expensive stuff right away. If the cheap stuff is actually cheap, as opposed to some "cheap" stuff that costs 1000 dollars, you get the absolute cheapest...

Id attack a plastic cutting board or 1/16 or 1/8" thin piece of delrin.

There are two nearby in Sacramento.

That's a monkey wrench. Presumably for very small monkeys. 🤣

Because if someone else has tried them, I could save myself the bother. There's a vast spectrum of quality. At one end there's top of the line professional quality. Then there's stuff you can go down to the hardware store and buy and it works ok. Its not going to last like the pro stuff, but...

My understanding is that the batteries in the m12 tools do t have any intelligence and it's all in the tool, unlike the 18v batteries. So over current ,over temperature ,and under charge protection are the responsibility of the tool not the pack. Its not a "nanny state" thing, it's a "prevent...

The very first thing to do is to start a repair online and see if the serial number comes up under warranty and what the out of warranty repair cost is.

Those are usually thinner than you would like,although you can use layers epoxied together. The thicker stuff they make tombstones from are good if you can find it. (Please don't go robbing cemeteries. If you do, don't blame me when the lathe starts bleeding😱) Concrete is actually a bit better...
