    These Headlamps are super convenient, the wide light strip helps with shadows. Can probably be found for less since there's 50 different brands with the same model.

    Snap on vs sonic toolbox and tools

    He also didn't need to buy every screwdriver set offered, while still not including a ratcheting bit driver. The basic kit along with a ratcheting driver and big kit of bits is way more useful. The 3ft screwdrivers he has in the back would never be used by an average person.

    Snap on vs sonic toolbox and tools

    Almost everything he sells is MSRP and so has stupid margins. He had a series on renovating a house where he just threw away money, like spending 10k to move the breaker box because he didn't like which wall it was on.

    Does it exist: Obstruction style lifting arm

    This piece would qualify as a below the hook lifting device and IIRC you would need to have it tested to 5x the rated capacity (by a certified facility). you may also not be allowed to use the test unit, so you would have to make 2. Talks of custom lifting equipment come up at work at least...

    Having just bought a resin printer these are very tempting. I love the smooth bare metal construction, you can just wipe off any resin that gets on them.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I picked up one of the Linus Tech Tip screwdrivers. Despite the hate on this forum, this is an amazing tool. Fit and finish is top notch.

    Disappointed in Fastenal

    That's a slightly different supplier relationship, this is called "Vendor Managed Inventory." The product is still taking up the same or maybe more space in your facility, vending machine vs high density storage. You're paying a premium for the vendor to keep track of your stock and deliver...
