Hi, Looking for smaller adze 3/4- 2 1/2 in different shapes, same with a smaller carving axe. I’ve got lots of chisels and gouges but one can never have enough, bot could use some hook knifes for spoons and maybe an other draw knife. I prefer older European steal but don’t care if it’s quality...

If you’ve never been on an intense or Santa Cruz I’d suggest trying one out, that’s what I’ve mostly been riding for MTB for the last 10-12 years going back to the first vpp bikes with a few treks and long term demos(worked at shop) I’ve stayed connected with the product manager and just really...

Where are you going to ride that beast? I sold my m9 two years ago hoping to grab a m29. It’s hard to justify a full dh bike with how well the new long travel trail bikes go. Might just pick up a nomad

Wow I’m so jelly of those Jap chisels! Besides riding mountain bikes, my favorite thing to do is wood carving. I’ve got one or two chisels from Japan but nothing special, one is stamped Nomi and holds a wicked edge. I mostly have euro steel. I collect vintage carving tools that go back 175years...

I have a allen 11900 ratchet that needs to be repaired. I’ve cleaned it and packed with suspension grease and it has restored some of its function but probably not for long. I can find a non quick release repair kit but I’d like to have the QR if I can. It looks like the master force teardrop...

Are these older 36t ratchets the same as the OEM ratchets sold on AZs website? Also I think I read that the oem ratchets were made by Williams, is that right?

Hay Nick welcome and congrats to owning your home. I hope it’s not as bad as my first home which was a typical 4,000+ sf New England farm house built in 1850, with field stone foundation and no insulation except for the 8 layers of wall paper lol. There wasn’t any mold anywhere except for the...

Did he wipe down the floor with MEK or acetone after he sanded it to get the left over dust? I was in a rush doing my finish urethane top coat over top of metallic epoxy on my basement floor. I got little bumps that I think came from the acetone not fully evaporated and had gas holes. I’ve seen...

Do you have a polyaspartic system?

Oh, your one of those, you swing both ways

I’m wondering if used Mac tools are worth buying considering the newer ones aren’t as nice, if you could get them warrantied you’d be getting a lesser tool. There dose seem to be more used Mac tools out there

I forgot about a junk shop down the street that sells cheap tools and stuff for around the house. A buddy that drives semis buys his 3/4 impacts there and has had good luck so far. Not sure about the warranty. I’d rather stick to a larger company for when I break something. My local Napa is...

Wow you’ve got a lot! I guess you need to put me together a package

You had me at thicker female

That didn’t last long
