Yep. I used to buy lots of stuff on there, I have up when it changed.

Yes, at home and work. Two guys at work have access to get in my box. The other 200 mechanics…tough.

I thought I would update this. I'm still on my original blade. It's not as good as new, and I chipped a few teeth, but it works fine. You have to go slow cutting aluminum with it. It will eat it up, but it will fill the tooth with aluminum if you go to fast before it can kick it out. I...

I rounded five brake line fittings with a six point snap-on flare nut wrench. I tried a cheap one first, huge difference. I hate to think of how many that would strip out.

Tractors don't have an fittings (not factory anyway, before somebody shows a custom puller or something). I would get 6 point, much mess likely to round them off. The only 12 point I like are old proto pebble style, and they're hard to find. I've been trying to finish my set of them for 8 years.

My two hf torque wrenches passed calibration every six months. One if my craftsman, and one of my snap-on did not. You were saying? There are quite a few hf torque wrenches at work, and very few that did not pass calibration.

Yep, mine is almost dead on with my fluke 88 with dc voltage and ohms (all I checked), go figure.

One thing if you get one, replace all your fittings with Milton type V high flow fittings. It makes a huge difference on my impact, 3"'cutoff wheel, etc.

I've broken one 9/16" gearwrench, and I had both feet braced against a plane, jerking on the wrench. To be fair, it didn't even fully "break", I jammed it. It would come loose, but jammed with no pressure after that. It was warrantied, no troubles since. I have 1/4"-1 1/2" gearwrench at home...

I just bought the mastercool when we needed to replace the lines on dad's truck. To hell with that other ****. This is the first time in 10 years I've done brake lines, and it paid for itself already, IMHO. Every week? Find the money.

Hell no. They sell new for that. You might want to check redmond machinery and ask if they have any scratch and dents. I got a 1.5hp, 3/4" chuck 20" swing Jet from them for $400 and shipping.

I've had my nitrocat for 5ish years now, love it.

This has to be one of the best builds I've seen, and I don't even like Fords. Awesome job! I usually realllyyy hate stacks on old trucks, those look perfect. I never thought I would have liked that many louvers on a bed cover either, but again, looks great!

I like it, and you know what, even the builds that I haven't liked on here, I can appreciate the quality of work that goes into them. The only thing I'll knock somebody on is a hack job. IMHO, using what you have is how hot rodding got started.

I ran two outlets (separate breakers) for my welder and plasma cutter. It's 8 gauge wire. I never use both, as I need an extension cord, and only made one. I need to wire in a hookup for my camper. 120v, 30 amp. Is it a big no-no to just cap the red wire at both ends, and swap to a 110...
