    1st welds with new welder

    I just finished a 7 week Intro to Welding at the local community college. Lecture was primarily YouTube videos 😜 with ~7.5 hours of lab each week welding (stick, MIG, TIG, then rudimentary fabrication [sheet metal w/ shear, brake, and spot welding, etc]). Personally I thought the YouTube...

    Shadetree Dudes and Torque Wrenches

    I bought the Alltrade 1/2" as a replacement for buying an expensive 1/2" torque wrench, but after receiving it, the Amazon comments sunk in about it being awkward to use, and that it made a better tool for validating wrenches. I had a a 20+ yo 3/8" CM clicker that I was a bit leery of due to...

    Best "Quality" cordless weed eater?

    I think the Greenworks trimmers on Amazon are the same as the Homelite's at Home Depot, at least based on pics (different color) and user complaints. I recently bought a corded version of the Homelite (~$25) for edge trimming ... already using a corded lawnmower, so there was no extra hassle...

    Brand new Snap-on items, priced to sell

    If for some reason the OEXM707B's fall through, perhaps because they're the old version and not Flank Drive Plus, I'll take them (and will send you a PM) just in case.

    USPS Insurance when shipping tools

    According to the claim form (which will only come in to play _after_ the loss), it must be filed by the shipper. While the shipper could have USPS pay the buyer directly, if I was the buyer I'd want a faster reimbursement from the seller than that. As a buyer, I think your best insurance is to...

    What are the holdbacks for Subaru?

    Rear wheel bearings were a problem on the '05 (and probably other years in sequence) Outback/Legacy's, and Subaru extended the warranty for those. I had my Outback in to replace the left rear bearing last year, and they wouldn't replace the other side until it showed signs of failing ... I've...

    USPS Insurance when shipping tools

    While it seems dishonest on the face of it, as you're expecting the insurance provided by USPS to be bought, if he is actually self-insuring as an earlier poster suggested, is there any difference? Insurance will only cover the declared value, and if the seller only "declares" the price you...

    Fein Multimaster, why so expensive?

    After learning about HF 20% off coupons and big box stores, I gave it a try and got the budget-packaged MM (quick release, two or three attachments, carrying bag) for $160+tax. Since then I've bought a mix of attachments from Fein and Bosch (+Bosch adapter), and can't quibble about the price...
