I use Bosch but the 12v stuff. Love it, for most stuff it works great and are light weight. For bigger stuff I have a 18v Makita brushless circular saw, brushless 1/2" Impact wrench and a brushless impact driver. I actually have Ryobi stuff for lawn care stuff - cordless trimmer and blower.

lol everyone was replying while i was typing. But yeah other than the bang you wont even know it broke. They just snap and unwind in place.

the spring tension wont change if you add weight to the door with it down. It will only make a difference when you try to open it. The spring is wound up to a certain tension depending on the weight of the door to assist opening it. If you add weight like soundproofing or whatever you would...

yeah they are strictly for everyday wear, not really for work, though they are modeled after lace to toe roofer style boots. I like Bedos youtube stuff as well, I get drawn into watching a few videos every now and then and its just so cool and interesting to watch. You can also sometimes get a...

Probably in that range if not a bit more. Regular lace ups are a bit over a grand. Currently thinking of having Brian the Bootmaker (owner of Role Club who made those boots up above) resole some lace up boots I currently own and having him relast them as well. Will cost more than the original...

changing over to wool socks (I prefer my Farm To Feet though I do have some Keens, SmartWool, Darn Tough and Carhartts) was the biggest thing that helped my with cushioning and what had become everyday foot pain. I used to wear ankle cotton socks. I honestly believe wearing a little longer wool...

I ended up buying all three a couple years back, and honestly I tend to go for them all the time. I guess cause when I'm doing real messy stuff I don't mind. In my head they are throw away ratchets, but they are good! I get them all greasy and dirty and dont mind sliding them across the...

ok I gotcha. on another note all this talk of Williams I almost forgot I have a Williams 1/2" ratchet too that is a 36 tooth snap on head basically and its got a great feel to it as well. I have an older snap on 1/2" ratchet that I cleaned up and relubed because it was gummed up and neglected...

hmm I feel the exact opposite of you in regards to my snap on 936s. Mine are great, low back drag and definitely not sloppy. Even my Harbor Freight 72 tooth composites don't feel sloppy. Old craftsman? yeah sloppy, when I cleaned mine up and relubed them they seems a bit better though. I...

this may help. You probably need to look into finding someone to help you with choosing footwear. Get a good handle on what kind of foot you have (low arch, high arch, flat, etc etc) how your walk or gate is and what feels comfortable for you legs and back over a long day. You may have to...

yeah just keep em clean and relube every now and then and they'll outlast you if they arent being beat on everyday. I got a few old craftsman raised panel and a coupe of those polished handle ones and they are in fine shape, of course I don't really use them anymore - just kinda keepsakes I...

yeah. I worked out in the garage today in the stifling heat because well the wifes car needed the oil changed and being out there with my tools is just peaceful to me even if I'm sweating through my shirt. I took apart, cleaned up and relubed a bunch of my older ratchets a few years ago when...

yeah I have the same kobalt set, bought it for the 9.99 price or whatever when it went on clearance/sale. I figured for 10 bucks why not? Its still sitting in my tool box in the package with the sockets. Havent really touched it since the day I bought it other than to move it out of the way!

great light. I use mine all the time stuck under the hood when working on the car, throw it under the car angled up when changing oil or doing anything under the car. Great light and easy to set it up and aim it where you need it. I also have brushless drill, impact, recip saw in the 12v...

Sort of tools. More lights. Got a streamlight stylus pro, a coast polysteel 250 and a g20 inspection penlight. Also pictured is my mini maglite pro led I got working again.
