Don't that, but on 220. I have even used my fingers to see if an outlet was working. It was.

Three of my workbenches have Ikea oak counter tops. Price is very good and a little varnish and they hold up very well. Will be getting a fourth soon to replace the last remaining workbench.

Strawberry, duh!

One time I tried to unplug a radio from an extension cord using my right and and my mouth. Drooled a little bit and got one hell of a shock. I would have use both hands but I was holding a plate of cheescake in my left one. At least I put the fork down.

I have the non-adjustable workbench legs and love them. Also used the brace pieces with an Ikea top and put rubber leveling feet underneat. Works great and holds a lot. Also tons of room to fit a box or cabinet and other storage. Not expensive. I got everythging from McMaster-Carr.

That pattern is one I would definitely copy if I ever did Racedeck in my garage.

^^That would be hilarious. I have had the GF call me from the bedroom while I was in the garage and asked me to stop making racket out there, and to come make it in there. I will admit, I did hesitate.

Meanwhile, when the urgent call is made, you hesitate for a minute, waiting for that fourth chime.

Only long-term problem I've had with my HF 44" is that the drawer detents don't detent much anymore. I have to be a bit gentle closing the drawer or it will pop back open. Other than that, will keep the box for many more years, I hope.

Mine has some wiggle. Don't care. It's a great box. Not just for the money.

They're just spongy enough to give you a ton more grip than any hard handle I've used. I will be adding to my Felo collection in due time.

Advise I have is, don't buy cheap. MSC Direct has great deals on Hertel US made sets all the time. A 1/16-1/2" 29 piece HSS set will run you ~$60-70 in their sales flyer. Night and day difference from my HF throw away set and other cheap Chinese **** I have laying around. Same thing with...

I have a set of Craftsmans clear handles for beating on, Felo and Snap On for everyday use.

The Husky socket/ratchet sets are made by Stanley, same design/look/everything. My first set was a Husky. The 3/8 ratchet developed a habit of reversing itself just like a similar Stanley ratchet that my brother had. Tossed the POS in no time.

I pride myself on my punctuality and am always ear. I don't like being on time because it pisses me off. People who are habitually late drive me up the walls.
