We're going to paint our trim this spring, like around the doors and windows and the soffits too. It's about 1800 sq ft so the soffit surrounds that much area. Is it worth it to spray or should we just roll? Would something like this powered roller thing be worthwhile? Or should I just roll...

I don't know what y'all are torquing so tight, but geez. I have used the above method, like on Subaru heads. But they are a silly torque sequence, after you tighten, then loosen, then tighten again to 25 ft lbs, you tighten them by 90 degrees, then another 45, then another 45 on the middle 2...

That was hard to watch lol. So much wasted space. My tools aren't exactly crammed, but wow there's so much open space. Not just because he doesn't have enough tools to fill it, but like the power drawer is just so much open area. Make that a couple of deep drawers or something instead and...

Guy that used to be beside me had the same roll cab and hutch I think, KRL7022? That sounds right. Anyway, he had a whole series of these, in 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4. He had shallows on the top studs and deeps on the posts sticking out. He had a few extra ratchet holder things like on the end of...

I'm sure they won't, because this industry is garbage... but why shouldn't they? My tools are on their property to make them money (as well as make me money). Would insurance not cover them if the tools were provided by the company? You betcha. Problem is, they're kinda stuck there. Unless...

Lol, okay. Imma have to disagree with you on that, air impacts are still where it's at. I know battery tools are getting stronger, and I love my M12... But at similar size (though the air is a little larger), my M12 Fuel 3/8" impact is still about 200 ft lbs shy of what my 15 year old 3/8"...

Wait. Do you mean Real Tool Reviews? Because if so... It's on. I'm unsubbing from AvE right now!

I bought a 72" Extreme Tools Professional box, the roll cab with hutch, from them. Quick shipped and great price! Only real complaint I have about the box is the drawer slides are a little stiff and the detents leave a little to be desired. From delivery day, or maybe the next day...

Hope he does one about the new HF cordless ratchet.

Powertop just means it's the stainless top with the power strip integrated in. The guy beside me has since moved all of his sockets and ratchets onto the back wall. I'll have to get a new picture of it. The box itself is like, wrenches, pliers, and a few specialty tools. Most of it is in the...

Oh my goodness. My work neighbor has that same roll cab I think, but with a hutch and a locker. It looks so weird without the other stuff on it lol. I think this is the best picture I have of it. http://i.imgur.com/hbusMEQ.jpg

Not just walk that far, but it's walking that far outside with a tank with 2" casters over broken rocky concrete. And the air hose barely reaches. And 2 guys don't have self evacuating drains, so they have to pick them up to drain it and fight that stupid vent above it. Someone spilled oil...

Do you happen to know where the "can't be near drains" thing is? All I can really find is that your container has to be in good condition. There's a page called "Laws and regulations for used oil" on the EPA sight when I search, but it's page not found when I click. Can't really do anything...

That's pretty much what I told him. How is it any better being outside than near a drain? I'll probably get some BS reasoning though, lol.

Spectacular, I really hope it has like 300 gallons of oil in it when they do come.
