I got that knob today. It's much beefier and nicer than the picture online looked like. It has an excellent feel.

What is the point of double hex dies? Is there some advantage over normal hex dies?

Which direction is the die stock supposed to go onto the rod? Is the guide supposed to go first and then the die (which makes sense) or is the die supposed to go first? Can’t find any instructions anywhere. Talking about these...

They don’t look like valve spring compressors to me. Pretty sure they’re made to pull small hoses off of bubbled lines by spreading the ends. Wish I had a pair. Lisle makes a pair, P/N 47900. These look nicer. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Just email corporate. They will take care of it if the driver is a turd and won’t... but he is supposed to. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Would you mind linking me to the one you got?

Thanks for the video! Was the knob this part from this guy or something else? https://www.ebay.com/i/233025912959?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&var=532533207815

I found the Taiwanese company that makes these at some point but I forgot what it was called. Anybody out there who knows? They literally had 50 different dies and only sold to resellers, but listed all available dies.

Does anyone know where else to buy all the other dies for an Astro 9477? It’s made by another company. There are like 50 dies, coax, RJ-45/etc and many more, but where to buy them? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Hi everyone, looking for a set of bushing drivers with all different sizes so I have what I need when I need it. Anybody have a set they really like? Hoping to keep it pretty inexpensive. I see the ones on Amazon with one open end and one closed end but in practice does the closed end hurt...

I own ALL of them. No joke. $$$ Still not what I need though. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Snap on does make the TTA35, FTA35, and STA35... all 3-1/2” center to center though. Useful tool. I do have multiple TZ1 and FZ1 pieces. They are nice. Still not quite what I’m talking about though. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Hi everyone, what’s the difference between the different harbor freight 20 ton shop press skus? Numbers are 32879 and 60603. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Haters gonna hate but the newer Snap On ones are first class. Both the regular one and the stubby. The interchangeable shanks on them are excellent. Lots of options on overall length and even a flexible drive option. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

1.5 is pretty small for a tool like this that uses a lot of power Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
