    No more snap-on for me

    The Blue Point BLPMV6 vise that you are dying for is made by Irimo in Spain. It is the Irimo model 201261 which is sold for approximately 390 Euro in Spain. 390 Euro is about US$460, but Snap-On retails it at US$740. :)

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I wonder why Milwaukee does not simply upgrade the M12 and M18 Stick Light with more powerful LEDs, while keeping everything else unchanged. They would not be as powerful as the newer more modern Rover lights but they have a different form factors and they have hooks which is often handy. :)

    Jump Pack / Jump Starter

    The small lithium jump starter boxes can really output large amount of current. But when you read the small print you discover that the 1000 A or 2000 A that they claim is at about 0 volt. In real life application these small lithium jump starter box will never reach these 1000 A or 2000 A at 12...

    HF 12 ton hydraulic press parts

    If Harbor Freight cannot supply a replacement ram plate, maybe you could replace the bent part from your ram plate (some cutting, drilling and welding would be involved). :)

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    M18 impact making high pitched whine?

    I am resuscitating an old thread, but I have exactly the same symptom with a M12 2555-20 (FUEL 1/2" Stubby Impact Wrench). The stubby impact is fully functional with an unpleasant quite loud high pitched noise. I initially posted this there...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I just got myself a M12 FUEL 1/2" Stubby Impact Wrench (2555-20), it came in the kit with a CP 2.0 and XC 4.0 Batteries. It is small and powerful, I like it. But there is a quite loud high pitched noise as soon as I pull on the trigger. When I lightly pull on the trigger, the LED turns on...

    Porter-Cable Pancake compressor needs repair

    My father has a 16 years old, made in USA, Porter-Cable Pancake compressor. I suspect that it takes more time, than it used to, to fill up. Also when it stops, it makes a scratchy metallic sound. It is the model CF1400, just like that one: My father is still using it, I do not want to...

    Inexpensive multimeter

    CAT III rating written on a Chinese multimeter often means nothing at all. And, we are in 2014, you would be happier with an autoranging multimeter :) But as a cheap multimeter, this model at only $28, is not a lot of money
