That seems to be the ticket on finding them. It looks like what I have are some el cheapo Amazon specials. Appreciate the info!

Hey y'all. Looking to replace a worn out set of spiral tapered reamers we use here in our shop on heavy equipment/semis/trailers. What are some quality brands to look at? Obviously price is always a factor but we need something that is good and just works without needing constant replacement...

I've got a boy working for me that's in a vocational type program through his high school, these will be perfect for him. And I'm getting a set to keep in the truck. Think it's well worth the $17.

Is this really a deal if you factor in the costs of sugar in your diet on your health and on your teeth, and the impact that can have on your wallet, thereby limiting your available funds to buy things from the deals threads (like the Amazon cart?!?!)

As soloz2 said above, the Vevor units are pretty good quality. I have been using on to clean parts I have out of a 1947 Willy's CJ2A to good effect. I would look in to those either through the Vevor store directly or on Amazon.

I'd add on Central Transport. I have used them for personal and work, and my dad consistently uses them for work, and we have had fantastic luck. Price has always been great too, almost always cheaper than anyone else quotes.

This is my plan for the future when I spray my tub and frame and such. Drop plastic from the (open) rafters and continue with my fan exhausting through the door.

I have painted panels in my shop by covering up all of the nearby important things that can't get overspray (tool box, parts shelves, etc), cracking open the big shop door about 6" and throwing a heavy duty blower fan pointing out the door to move air out. Other than overspray on the floor...

My brother in law uses one of these Coast Slayer lights, and compared to my Streamlight Wedge, I have to say that his might be the more useful light. It has more spill than my Wedge does. The center beam on my Wedge is better but that's not super useful unless I am spotlighting something in my...

I have installed 3 of these among 3 of my shops and had great luck with them. We work on construction equipment and semis/trailers so not exactly the most gentle of folk.

At home, I have an older generation orange box with top cabinet that I've been using for near 10 years now with no issues. I have had it fairly well loaded up for most of those years and did not have any issues with the drawer slides or anything of that nature. I now have the new gen 3 tool...

Good looking out Crabman, grabbed this and a couple of those Gearwrench lights.

Love the Dale plaque and the collage of Junebug pics above it. I have a bunch of NASCAR memorabilia, especially of Dale, that I need to get up in my shop one day here soon.
