    Snap-On screwdriver quality vs the others

    + for Vessel. My go to for screws on Japanese stuff. Anex screwdrivers are also very nice. I prefer the Anex 397 for a ratcheting screwdriver, and I have a two different types of Snap-on screwdrivers.

    I used mine while adjusting the toe-in on my Jeep. I don't think a tape measure would do that job as well.

    Chain saw help needed

    First off, make up some fresh pre-mix (whatever ratio your saw calls for) and gas up the drained tank, squirt some in the carb with the filter removed. It should fire, or at least pop. You need a crankcase full of good gas vapor to run the engine, so a couple of stalls are to be expected...

    Fixing My Burned up Makita 18v Drill

    I have an older corded Skil that groans a bit in reverse if has sat unused for a while. I think I need to disassemble it and lube it up. I guess you could use the LH rotation drill as a dedicated LH drill bit tool for drilling broken studs etc.
