Wow! I found them. Ordering now. Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate the tool truck suggestion earlier. That was just going to be a little more difficult as they don't visit my house (I'm not a professional). I appreciate all of the community's help here.

Thank you for the input. I will try to track down a tool truck somewhere.

Hello. I have an 18v Ridgid Compact Brushless 3/8 Impact Wrench. I was using it and changed sockets. I discovered that during the change the circular wire clip at the end of the square 3/8 drive that puts tension on the sockets to hold them on must have come off. I searched for it, but it is...

I placed an order during Black Friday weekend. It says that it normally ships within 1-2 days, and I got 2-3 day shipping. I have not received them yet. I have not received any communication from them except for the automatically generated initial order confirmation e-mails. I tried calling...

Wow. Thank you for all the replies. I appreciate all of the ideas. To all the rivnut supporters, I agree that they are awesome. Then I could finish them off with cool hex button heads. The problem is that some of the areas I need them do not have enough room to allow for them. Also, it is...

I always prefer bolts over sheet metal screws, but the back side of the ribs are not accessible because they are bonded to the inside of the van skin sheet metal. I thought about rivnuts/nutserts but it seems like a lot of work for the benefit it provides. These are definitely on the inside...

I want to fasten panels of upholstered thin plywood to the steel ribs inside a cargo van with sheet metal screws. Would stainless steel screws driven into the van's body sheet metal cause corrosion due to a reaction of the dissimilar metals? What would be the better choice, stainless steel or...

I ordered some sockets from this member. There is no way the transaction could have gone better. The sockets were exactly as described. The shipping only took a couple of days after I made my payment. The communication and follow through was great. Thanks!
