    Rubbermaid Trademaster 5 Drawer Mobile Tool Cart

    I would check out marketplace for a used medical cart. An industrial one like this, I see them once in a while for < $200-300.

    Adding a tank to my new Air Compessor. How?

    I had intended on doing something similar and assembled a manifold out of black pipe. I had a large aluminum tank that I was going to put in my attic but it ended up being stolen and I ended up buying electric/battery tools anyway. It would have tied in at the open gauge with an old air hose...

    Anyone using splined sockets?

    Spline sockets are handy when you need them but one of those things that you get what you pay for, cheap ones will get stuck or chew up your fastener. I have no input on an older craftsman set like that but it couldn't hurt to give them a try.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I use these for anything less than 2 Liters as well and keep a dedicated bottle for each fluid. A trick to make it easier is to keep the pump head fixed and pump the bottle so your hose doesn't move. I did diff fluid last weekend and it took me around a minute to pump 16oz of gear oil. The extra...

    Need a portable impact for getting off semi/trailer lug nuts? Milwaukee isn't cutting it

    If you haven't considered it, a $60 torque multiplier from amazon would probably work to crack those loose then impact them the rest of the way. As noted above, high output batteries make a world of difference in the Milwaukee.

    Butane Torch

    Portosol makes nice kits, I've never regretted buying mine.

    I've also admired these for a while. My Daytona 3T jack gets stuck under the front bumper of my vehicle about 3" away from reaching the center jack point so I usually drive it up on boards first. I've wondered if one of these would do the trick.

    Recommend an inexpensive 3D printer please.

    Whatever printer you end up with, if you want high quality prints and without stringing you'll want a filament dryer and some vacuum bags or a way to store it with desiccant. The AMS can be outfitted with desiccant to print nicely with already dry material or AMS2 adds a drying feature that's...

    Advise needed: Long reach diagonal cutters

    Not the most durable, but I have some like this for when you need to get into a tight spot. A good cutter to have in addition to standard long diagonal cutters. https://www.amazon.com/Laser-Double-Jointed-Cutter-290mm/dp/B075TFR76P?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Wrench Extenders….Anyone use one?

    I have one without the comfort grip, it makes it easier to fit a cheater bar on. Great for suspension work. If you've ever questioned the quality of your wrenches then this is a good way to test them out.

    YOST ADI4 at Eastwood for $43.98 shipped!!!

    Every time I've jumped on one of the Eastwood Yost vise deals they cancel the order. I would categorize Eastwood with northern tools in this regard. Anyone actually receive theirs?

    VIM has some duds and some gems. This one is a GEM!

    I could see myself using that for something that only needs to go hand tight, but generally I grab one that I can throw a ratchet on. I like this style (not this model specifically), I think mine are craftsman from back in the day. Works good to get something started when you don't have a...

    Friend Died Unexpectedly Now Family Left w/Nightmare Tools

    Sorry to hear about your friend. I like the recommendations to bring a reputable auction company as made above. For the living, I'd suggest reading about Swedish death cleaning.

    3D Filament Deal Thread

    I really like geetech brand through aliexpress, if you buy a handful of roles from a common warehouse you can get a variety for <10$ per roll. I've used them (PLA/PETG) quite a bit with no tangles and they come sealed/not fragile or absorbed with moisture.
