I do think the quality of Klein has dropped somewhat over the years. Klein tools used to cater to utilities, tradesmen and serious users. The times have changed, for a consumer of any product there are myriad alternatives (quality and pricewise) to be found online, also the expansion of Asian...

Great find

You have a sharp eye, and that is another can of worms but I agree with your logic. The lands on the drill bit do have a leading edge (red) and a trailing edge that run all the way to the point and meet at the flanks outer corners. Which means we have lips and heels for both, the point and the...

The cutting edge on a twist bit point is called LIP. The surface that extends beyond the lip to the flute behind is called FLANK. So a FLANK has a cutting/leading edge (red) - LIP and a trailing edge called HEEL. Both LIPS and HEELS are formed by the intersection of a flute surface and a...

Consider that at some point you could have to change more breakers on that panel or the one next to it. These breakers today are expensive compared to the average alternate breaker. However you could install a 200A breaker enclosure next to your load center and use it to feed the power to the...

I am researching this subject. Any help on this is most welcome. I've found that 00-R Die heads are for threading 1/8-1" pipe 00-RB Die heads are for threading 1/4-1" bolts/rods *Both die heads use the same ratchet head/handle (38565/38590), correct? *Anyone know what is the handle length &...

I have never seen a file sharpening service. However I read an article in popular mechanics mid 90's that featured a liquid formula in which you dipped the files to "resharpen" (restore) them. According to the article it did improve the cutting on old files.

Swiss files (Swiss pattern/cut) are fine cut files used to do precision work and where originally manufactured by the Swiss. Its more of an instrument than it is a tool.

I dont want a combo, I dont want fries, I dont want to super size, All I want is a burger... This **** happens all the time

The air discharge temperature is a function of the heat compression (itself a function of the compression ratio, CR), the inlet air temperature, and any stray heat transfer (negligible). I agree with AndyA its not gonna help much to move the compressor inside. Tdischarge=...

It is a chemical treatment applied as solution to stainles steel, to prevent (passivated) corrosion caused by impurities on the parent metal.

Nice, I hope you passivated the steel plates before you start welding.

I would recommend avoiding the pilot hole technique, especially on large holes. A rotary hammer is slow in comparison to a hammer drill but has a very large torque capability, as you go drilling a larger hole in to the pilot hole the tendency for jamminig increases. A jammed rotary hammer can...
