If you do a lot of woodworking, absolutely. I DIY closets and the amount of sawdust that gets generated cutting plywood is unbelievable. I bought a Bosch HEPA vacuum on Black Friday and coupled it to a static dissipative cyclone from Cen-Tec. Static dissipative is important if you handle the...

Mityvac MV6840 is a great system. It has 7 master cylinder adapters, hangs on the open hood and makes 1 person bleeding a breeze. It can also be used to dispense other fluid such as in the rear differential etc.

Not slippery. I can't notice it's there. For things that I don't handle with my hands (patio furniture bolts etc), I spray it on and leave it to dry.

CRC Marine Corrosion Inhibitor. It's basically Cosmoline, used by the Navy on their deck guns. Ideally, you let it dry/cure to an amber finish (like varnish). I apply it, wait a few minutes and wipe it down. Probably lower its effectiveness but I can't notice a gummy finish. Never have a...

Blue - kinda greenish blue... (I'm color challenged)

I'll be the first to throw some shade at Vessel. I just received a green Megadora set yesterday. I love the sharpness of the tip and how it bites into fasteners. I am less thrilled about the handle. Its shape is fine but the plastic and rubber are very smooth and kind of slippery. I cleaned...

I like Mission Silicone Paste.

Every Proto tool that I have (lots) have been fabulous. No complaints

I have a pair and love them. There is one caveat. They are very strong at resisting compressive loads but not good at off-axis/rotational loads. As such, I make sure that the tires are centered properly and not off to one side. Although this is good advice for any ramp, it seems all the...

Don't assume that the fuel is ok. Check out this video. Truefuel performed horribly.

My old Craftsman USA 1/2 flex head is one of my favorites. Old-school USA, built like a tank. Quick release, serviceable head. Maybe you can find one on Ebay.

All American for me. Super quick with impressive results.

Painful observations which clearly display his "Sonic Salesman" bias. Notice that he does not open or address the ridiculously tall top drawer that would quickly turn into a massive junk drawer. Worst of all it is the most convenient of all drawers so its dysfunctionality is magnified. He...

Just got my set. I like the handles. They are heavier than you might think just looking at the pictures.

No big tips other than what's been offered. Take your time, buy a good battery (agree with Swiss Renata), get a bright light and skip the coffee. Be prepared to be amazed at how little stuff is inside most watches. Usually a super easy job, you will likely never pay for someone else to do it...
