No dog in this. I work as a business developer in the defense industry, not a pro mechanic, but I am an engineer and build high performance motorcycles in my home work shop. I have a Matco 6S and a large Lista at my house. Both are filled with high-end tools. Three different tool trucks stop...

You do realize this is the 'Introduction Section', right?

The duct work in my house is shoty at best. Two years ago I had the entire heating and air system replaced EXCEPT the ductwork. Some band aids were done, but it was simply a cost issue. I am now in a position where I would like to finish this up and have all of the duct work replaced with the...

I thought they were made by Armstrong.

Mine came last week. Whats not to like. This weekend I used the wipe they sent and am now on the hunt for a source to buy them from. Will probably buy something from them soon. Need to go through my stuff and see what needs upgrading.

Broke this a couple nights ago. The piece is a harley lower rocker box that I just picked up from the powder coating shop. Was chasing the threads in the various threaded. WD40 was used to lube the tool and I was using a short 1/4" drive ratchet. Very little resistance was felt at the ratchet...

Yep.

I just ordered the 31" for $22.00 with in-store pickup. Sweet.

This qualifies you for a YOU ****!

Nitric Acid and some clay. Only works if the tap is in non-ferrous metal. Simply dissolves the tap. Another way if with some Alum and hot water on the stove. The Alum will also dissolve the tap.
