I was very fortunate to be raised by my great- grandparents, who were referred to by me as Maw and Paw. There was nothing these two couldn't do or fix or teach. I had Paw until I was 21, and Maw a few years more. I can't imagine where or what I would have done or where I would be today if not...

Assuming you feel the way about your dad as I feel about my grand dad who's gone now, that box will become your most prized possession second only to your wife and kids. Maybe even before the wife........ I would give or do almost anything for one more day with him...

Yeah, I'll have to agree, grease gun dose rate right up there.

Re: ntxtools BOGO Deals Hey, watch the hillbilly bashing!

Have dealt with this exact situation. Busted a 1-3/16 easco. Called apex/ danner, lady says take it to Fastenall and they will replace it with gear wrench. Being a proud U.S. citizen, I requested an American made replacement. She reluctantly said they would do it with Armstrong. I got on...

As a 30 yr. refrigeration - ac mechanic, buy yellow jacket my friend. You will not be disappointed.

I have one labeled New Britton. Half inch. I'm missing one of the small screws, and have checked several well stocked hardware stores and haven't had any luck. Evidently an odd size-pitch. Anyone have one for sale off of a parts ratchet or a parts rat. For sale?

What happened to the W7150? I can't find one anywhere.

Anyone else have this problem? If I switch between topics or sometimes when trying to post I'm logged off before I can get it done.

Well, I typed out a reply and then found the site had logged me off before I could post.

You will need to check the fitting on the 30 lb can you purchase , as there are 2 different ones available . They can be had with standard quarter- eighth inch fitting, just like on all 30 lb cylinders except 134a automotive type cans. These will have the newer style half inch achme style...
