    Where are Matco wrenches made?

    I know there is a thread about this, but was dated 2008, and I know things can change. My work does not have a Matco truck in the area, so I have to order online. Specifically, I am looking at standard combination wrenches (non-ratcheting). Does anyone know if they are made in the US, or...

    Gearwrench X-Beam Sets--$10/each @ Sears YMMV

    Picked these up today (last ones at that Sears) for $20 out the door. I thought of Garage Journal, and asked if they were clearencing them out of all the stores. The lady said YES. Although no other store in my area had them. And just a heads up, the price tags still read $89.99/each. They...

    The most rounded bolt ever.

    I am refurbishing a YZ 125 engine. I already split the case, inspected the insides, and sealed the case back up. Then i went to take out the drain plug...... This bolt was already rounded, so i hammered a socket on, and started heaving. It gave way, but to my surprise, not the threads, but the...

    A lot of us know that a lot of Snap On tools (such as screwdrivers and pliers) are made in different colors, and can be found by adding the suffix (G, R, O, etc.) after the part number. The tools can be found by using the search function on Snap On's website, but they do not have an official...

    3/4" drive torque wrench

    So, my rule about tools is that if I don't have a tool for a job (I have to do the job by borrowing the tool, making a tool, or not completing it), that tool now goes on my "to buy" list. Recently I replace the front rotors on my F150. They are hub assembly rotors, so I started by pulling the...

    Locking extensions.

    So, recently I have been picking up a lot of side jobs, and doing a lot of spark plugs. I have been coming across a problem very often; upon tightening the new spark plug. I cannot pull the socket out without my extension popping loose. This is because my sockets hug the ceramic so good the it...

    Safe air compressor pump temp?

    As some of you know, I recently bought a new to me 60 gal air compressor. I finally got it wired up yesterday, and proceeded to fill up the tank. I noticed that once the pump had shut off at 125 psi, the dust on the head of the pump was smoking (burning off). I grabbed my IR thermometer and the...

    Air compressor tank max pressure

    So, i recently came across a 60 gallon air tank. it is in 100% perfect condition, manufactured in 2009. The cylinder was just bad. This is what I am planning on doing to it, but I want the internet's assistance on how safe it is. I currently have a 30 gallon compressor which shuts off at...

    Leave air in compressor, or drain it?

    So, what do you guys do? Do you leave your tank pressurized when you are not using it? Or drain it and refill it? I am talking about overnight, or over a few days. Is there any harm in leaving it pressurized? I hate having to wait for my tank to fill up.
