    Line wrench or Box-end for brake bleeder fittings?

    I use a 6 point box wrench as well. I make sure I can loosen them, then slip my bleed tool hose through the box onto the bleeder. With the hole in the middle bleeders just seem softer and easier to round, so I take no chances with 12 point or flare nut wrenches.

    Checkout the new Tekton 1/4 aluminum spinner handle/driver - Dope!

    Those are good in 3/8 too. I use drive handles a lot for starting fasteners by hand. 3/8 torx bits I use a 3/8 drive handle, which is kind of hard to find. Love the ones that have the female drive end for initial loosening or final tightenin, or just used as an extension. I prefer the handle to...

    Lawn Mower Oil Filter Ratings/Specs, Cross Reference?

    For what it worth I run a Motorcraft filter on my husqvarna mower and it’s been fine. I did look up the oem filter and matched the bypass pressure and googled for others using the same filter before I did it to get some additional confidence it would be ok.

    OTOFIX - At least a half dozens sites that appear to be official OTO sites.

    otofix updates are a little more cost effective than autel updates from what I can tell, which is probably because some models don't have all the features of some of the nicer Autels. If you want a mid-range tool it doesn't cost as much to keep it current. For the top end otofix, the Max, it's...

    Replacement switch for Porter Cable A3, Rockwell 503/504 belt sanders

    yea i saw that one. that'd be more than a replacement sander would be. There's several switches that look exactly the same, just newer and more plastic and less metal and they are $20-30. i was hoping that someone would have tried one and can confirm they work

    Replacement switch for Porter Cable A3, Rockwell 503/504 belt sanders

    Greetings, I inherited my grandfather's porter cable 504 belt sander. I understand this is similar to the porter cable A3. I got to use it for about 5 minutes before the switch died. The original 801851 switch isn't made anymore. I've been searching the internet for an alternative. I see porter...

    Are there any nut drivers longer than 6" (shaft) and shorter than 18"

    unless you need the hollow handle of a nut driver, which I assume you don't since you said magnetic, you could get a set of magnetic sockets, and a drive handle. some drive handles have female hex on the handle side which can come in handy as well. it's also more space efficient than a set of...

    Bit inserts (primarily torx) to replace worn/bad ones, USA made preferred?

    Be careful with Genius tools. I tried to warranty an impact bit socket that shattered first use on a weak-sauce impact and they never replied. I did both warranty form on their site and email to their support, and it's been 3-4 weeks now and I've heard zero response from them. If warranty is...

    Another Tekton Protype MTR4 Tool Roll

    I like the idea of that style tool roll. it's very well thought out. Love the hi-viz bottom panels in the pouches. I do like the pouches are 16.5". A lot of the smaller ones I can't fit the tools in the pouches I want, like breaker bars, long ratchets etc. I thought hard about the atlas46...

    Opinions on Milwaukee 12 volt cordless tools?

    Am I the only one that needs to use my middle finger to hit the trigger on a lot of the M12 stuff? I've seen videos where other people do this too. Thought I had freak hands or something. I love my M12 stuff. usually plenty of power, it's size efficient, and a good range of tools. No regrets...
