Snap on dual 80 gets my vote! I have the regular length dual 80 3/8" bought used off the truck for $50 and you see them on ebay all the time around that price. I also have older snap on ratchets that once broke in are smooth and reliable although with coarser teeth. You can get pretty much the...

If you don't like them and want to spend more but not tons these are good bits for the money http://www.ebay.com/itm/Champion-29-Piece-Twister-Brute-Platinum-XL28-HSS-Mechanics-Drill-Bit-Set-/272129096271?hash=item3f5c287a4f:g:i-EAAOSwUuFWujQz I have a set at work that they bought and they...

Broke down and bought a SAE set for my work box off of ebay. The price was about $62 shipped but they look like they are worth every penny. I have not used them but will give them a good workout at well work. If they turn out to be as good as I am thinking I will probably buy a metric set if I...

The nearest sears to me (50 miles away) didn't have any in store. I called a sears in a town my sister lives in 2 states away and they had them but at 99 bux a pop.

I checked the nearest Sears and no luck :( If anyone has a extra set they got on sale and want to part with in SAE and Metric (really need SAE) and help a guy out that would be awesome. PM me. If not I will keep a looking.

Interesting question that I do not know the answer to. But from what I do know about 3 phase motors at least is that a 2 pole motor has a much smaller rotor than a 4 pole motor. I would assume that the extra mass of a 4 pole rotor may somehow even on a 1hp scale equate to more torque at a...

A guy I work with has a older extra long armstrong with regular box end on one and and ratcheting on the other end. Its long and flat and actually really nice. I think he said he paid around $90 for it. I would have the guys break them loose or finish tightening with the fixed box end and then...

Just won a 3/8" SK roundhead ratchet for $14 shipped. I hope I like it as much as my 1/4" SK...

If you had a lathe you could take a skim cut off those laminations of a few thousands and assuming everything else is good thats what the pros would do. That and mask off the shafts and then spray on some red insulating varnish. That being said as long as the air gap between the rotor and the...

I don't know as I have not tried any recent manufacture blue-point drill bits but at work we recently bought a big set of Mac drill bits and in my opinion they are absolute ****! They seem so so until you really have to drill something hard like stainless.. Then they fall on their *** and you...

I have both the SAE and the Metric HF "Pro" line shallow 1/2" drive impact sockets. The pro line are made in Tawain no China and mine appear breached center with the sockets visually. I have added a few sockets here and there to make a more complete set and I mostly just use the SAE set but I am...

My shirt and 6 in 1 screwdriver showed up today! woohoo! :)

New Fluke multimeter leads with "piercing needle" add on ends. US based seller and they accepted my offer of $14 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rigid-Back-test-Probe-Pin-Piercing-Needle-Fluke-TL71-Hard-Point-Test-Leads-/262401362888?hash=item3d18570bc8:g:~YoAAOSwdrRXGv2X Seen some...

Ordered way back on 7-1 and still have not received my package. :( Is it taking this long for anyone else? Anyone get a tracking number or anything? On a side note I am a HUGE channellock guy! Good stuff for a fair price.
