Oh yeah!...What was I thinking?! :dunno::headscrat... I guess I wasn't. :rolleyes2 In fact, just the other day I was wondering which oil would be best to use. Thanks for sharing your suggestions and preferences. :thumbup: Have '3 in 1' and RemOil, plus other gun oils as well. Will check out...

Thanks very much for that info & video link ! (y)

Thanks for that info. (y) I should've taken the time to read more of this thread abv, first. I now see that my misplaced (like new condition) KAA 44994, of which I have happily found, is probably a 2011 Danaher. The VT 44994, that I ordered on ebay, while in a panicked state after not being able...

Hmmm. I have a 1/2" Flex-head Craftsman ratchet — that I think I purchased from Sears in 1981 — that's stamped: [ FORGED IN U.S.A. — V — 44983 ] , (so manuf by Easco ?), with [—————— PATENT PENDING —————— ] on 2nd line of the stamp. So a previous serial # to yours. Although mine has the...

It doesn't look like anyone ever responded with regards to this query of yours. It's been awhile, but I thought I'd reply just in case you're getting GJ notifications. Did you ever get info on the designations KAA & KAB? I have a 'VT - 44994' currently being shipped to me, as I haven't been...

Of course it's been awhile, as I haven't looked in here @ GJ since around May 2023, but wondering if the #43432 repair kit worked for you? I haven't been able to find my Craftsman USA 44994 ('all chrome - thin profile' 1/4" ratchet) recently, so the other day I ordered a used/stripped one off...

Not with regard to any of the above HF tool chests, but just to mention — that my next door neighbor bought a Husky rolling tool chest yesterday @ HomeDepot that was $80 less than the comparable-in-size HF one.

That's what I've been presuming. =( Still haven't found one with a trigger lock. Maybe the corded ones no longer have them either? Anyways, I've always done a lot of 'one handed trimming' on tall trees & bushes where it's hard to reach with two arms simultaneously from high on a ladder &c...

They're easy to sharpen; on our corded B&D I just use one of our chainsaw flat files.

I used to feel ashamed. Then after my wife started calling me 'Sparky' on a regular basis.... I just accepted it as inevitable. ;-) Though actually haven't severed one now for a couple years. =) Thinking now that I'll only get a cordless hedge trimmer if I can find one with a trigger lock...

I've got ours in one of these Dewalt 'tool tote's, that can be set on (and locked into) one of these Dewalt 'Tool Storage Organizer Cart's - for easy moving with your foot if one doesn't want to bend over to move it. But I think I like the milk crate idea mentioned above ^ better; which could...

I was about to pull the trigger on the Milwaukee M18 hedge trimmer, but then noticed that there's no trigger lock !:~\ For the last 30~40 years, the first thing I've always done after pulling the trigger on our corded Black&Decker hedge trimmers is lock the trigger, which enables trimming with...

Or, if it's not a required PL dbl-stud, then the Framer's could've simply made a mistake; if the foreman accidentally marked the dbl when laying-out the plates (then forgot to cross it out), thereby the individual(s) that framed the wall could've came along and stuck it in there when they spread...

Well we did. We always supplied the original homeowner with a separate— and required approved—set of plans for each new home, or a copy of same. It all depends on the municipality & location. We didn't throw-up homes; we built high-mid to high-end spec & custom homes — in the high hundreds...

If you do find your approved set of plans —that were used to build your house, and that you should have a copy of— but need help reading them, you could take pic's of the area in question - on both floor framing plans (pages} + the roof framing plan (page) and, e.g. email the pic's to me, or if...
