    Inspect Your Dayton G73 Unit Heater Before Mounting...

    ...or spend time trying to locate electrical issues you don't have! :headscrat The fan wouldn't run on my new G73. After removing the fan guard I found that the fan was actually jammed. The blades were striking the shroud in several places. After adjusting the fan location all is well...

    Husky 3/8 TW vs. Craftsman 3/8 TW

    I like my SK torque wrenches. The all metal models (i.e no plastic handles, rings, etc) have been great. Oh..and the finish is flawless.

    Got my SK 20pc Stubbies - Disappointed with SK's Quality Control - Pics

    I have two SK wrench sets on the way. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Who knows how long KLars bad stubbies were sitting in inventory. We could be dealing with QC issues from 2 years ago.

    Sorry to hear about the issues. I found a small defect on an SK long pattern combination wrench a few months ago. These are purchased from Arizona Tools (www.arizonatools.com). I had a new wrench direct from SK within three days. No shipping charges. I wasn't even required to return the...

    Looking for opinions on portable (folding) engine hoists. I hate the cheapo Chinese hoist I have currently.

    Drill press vises

    I recently bought a small Palmgren from Amazon. A very nice vise. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006N8D5K/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Be aware that Palmgren has two vise lines. One US made line and the "international line".

    Need Vice

    I own this vise. I bought it from arizonatools.com. Great vise....but not made in the US. "Made in China to Wilton Specifications"....bummer. All literature online indicated it was US made.
