I will submit that the giant 5 gallon bucket of tools at the pawn store represents the WORST selling tools.... the best selling tools get sold quickly. Pawn shop near me has tons and tons of import stuff for sale, some of it has been there for years. He usually only has a limited selection...

I know the C310 brake reservoir of which you speak. Fun to get to, eh? I use one of these to top it off. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CCM4ZK/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I get to be the go-to guy for anything behind or under the panel... 'cause I'm the only one who get upside down and fit behind there.

Used to be super common in aircraft maintenance. Great for removing a few hundred inspection cover access screws before battery tools. Always called them push-drills... they were available in different shaft lengths, a longer shaft meant more turns per push. You could tell how ******** a...

So you believe that just because it was legal and profitable, it was ethical? A manufacturing company in my hometown used to make aircraft fasteners from the '40s through the '70s. They dumped runoff water polluted with hexavalent chromium and cadmium into a stream which went to a pond and...

I can explain it. Meth is a horrifying drug.

What does it say in the picture just above your post?

Also, on Ebay, seller tools-world sells a lot of VW-Audi specialty tools, at by far the best prices I've seen. http://stores.ebay.com/autotoolsworld To the OP, all the VW-Audi parts catalog and diagrams are online at http://www.vagcat.com/ . You need to register (free) to see the listings...

Place I work has a "hall of fame" display cabinet of safety equipment that was sacrificed in the line of duty... one memorable one is a pair of safety glasses with a shed bristle from a heavy-duty wire wheel embedded right where your pupil would be...

Thank you sir. Needed to replace my Craftsman Digitorque that broke and is apparently not repairable. Dan

If you are a large commercial aircraft mechanic, chances are you will be seeing a lot of torx plus in your future... and that's all I've got to say about that. May torq-set die a well deserved and long overdue death.

I have a 1/4" "Lifetime" (not SS) that I picked up at a garage sale. I use it very occasionally because it has a thinner head than any other ratchet I own.

Funny, I ordered a set from Northern Tool like 4 weeks ago but they were backordered... according to UPS they will be delivered today.

I've bought a bunch of stuff from this seller. No problems, and quick cheap shipping (Who else is doing flat rate for 6.95? come on....) I occasionally sell on ebay and also refuse to deal with international buyers, after several bad experiences. Half the time they are just scammers who want...

I hang my grinders by the guards on an upstanding leg of angle iron. A half-moon recess in my shelf keeps them in place.

Why sticky a coupon that expires in 28 days? There is ALWAYS a HF 20% coupon of some kind or another. http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1276399
