Harbor Freight 3-level steel cart

If anyone else replied already, I missed it - so pardon me if this has already been addressed. I think this is is intended to be mounted at the "user end" of your air hose. It might survive for a fair while mounted on the compressor, especially if you leave a loop of hose over the handle, but I...

I've had one for a few years - being older, it might be of heavier construction than current versions. I use it to work on my vehicles in the driveway. Tools on the top and middle shelf, parts and/or supplies on the middle and bottom shelves. Magnetic can, towel, and glove holders on the sides...

Woodchuck Timberpro - I seriously considered the Logrite cant hook as was posted a few weeks ago, but decided the Timberpro with its two flat feet would be better in the sandy soil SE of San Antonio. I've had it a few weeks and every time I use it I'm glad I bought it. New to me Snap-On...

You said "ft" originally - that would be a 1/2" drive as vjquan said.

If you are doing stuff with the evap system, my understanding is that there is a difference between a smoke machine and one suitable for evap work. I'm just a DIYer who reads the online trade magazines/articles on this stuff - I could be wrong. Beside the need for a flow meter, the evap vacuum...

Mothballs? Seemed to work for evicting raccoons from my parents attic years ago - might have also chased out mice/rats

I saw a Mac truck on SE Loop 1604 (San Antonio) Tues, Sept 9. I don't see them much around San Antonio any more

My concern about the axial play, as I think explained previously, was about whether it affected accuracy and/or precision. My previous torque wrenches had twist-lock collars, so there was no axial play - this is my first with a pull-down lock, so axial handle play is new to me. Since the handle...

Thanks! It may be "confirmation bias" on my part, but it's good to know that other brands with this type of lock also have play! That's the kind of info (either way) I hoped to get! Are you willing to pay the difference in price between Snap-On and whatever "lesser" brand others choose for all...

Thanks, much appreciated! Now If we could kindly get the thread back on track, that would also be appreciated.

I did finally find the serial number - it's etched(?) in a color I just had trouble seeing (******* me!) on the metric side. I used an allthread union nut to do a direct comparison against my Tekton at the same torque settings - while I'm sure there are factors affecting that direct comparison...

Thanks for your reply, merkyworks! I see yours had the same inspector as mine. The axial play in mine remains pretty much the same throughout the range. I've been looking at exploded drawings of Protos and others with pull-down collars - while I can't identify how the handle connects to what...

Thanks, but axial play is the issue.

Yesterday I bought HF's Icon 5-75 ft/lb torque wrench, and noticed something concerning. The handle has about 1/32" axial play, no matter the torque setting. It does get slightly more difficult to turn while increasing the setting, as expected. I have three other micrometer click wrenches and...
