The NRR specs meet my needs, I am currently wearing Peltor triple flange ear plugs so I am confident they will fit comfortably. I am more wondering how the electronic part works, is it effective, can you hear conversations, surrounding low level noises, does it lag too much, ETC? Basically...

90 PSI is the usual specification used for most pneumatic equipment.

I am an Auto Mechanic and have developed some annoying and painful side effects from 40 years of shop noises. Playing the pull the ear plug to talk /put it back in thing is wearing thin and I am considering buying some 3M™ PELTOR™ Electronic Earplugs, EEP-100. I just am wondering if they...

I have been using one of those for over 30 years and it has been no trouble at all, still works like new.

I second that.

No just the standard old Snap-On ratchets. I own a bunch of the S-K Tuff-one ratchets and several of the professional series, they are almost bullet proof, I have only broken a few and those were while in abuse mode.

I have 30 year old S-K ratchets that work like new, I have a few Snap-On that I have warrantied so often that I stopped using them.

I agree old wire type hose clamp pliers. The ring was used to lock the pliers holding the clamp open.

I measure the rotating torque and add 5 in lbs when re tightening the nut.

It works on the exact same principal as an Air Lift. The difference is that the pipes act as a tank that draws coolant from the bottom of the radiator tank, then I have a home made manifold attached to an old radiator pressure tester head. The "tank" is made from 8, 2"' sections of 2" schedule...

I did this to an old craftsman box of mine. I went to the local big box store and bought some kitchen cabinet roller slides, they look just like the ones on the tool boxes. I had to cut the old friction slides off of the drawers and then drill the drawers for the new slides, but in the end it...

A little piece of paper towel placed on top of a hex bolt will hold it into the socket for hard to get at places. Water is the best rust penetrant ever made. No, I am serious, what made the rust? Placing an aspirin inside an automobile thermostat to hold it open will make the cooling system...

I call it the Coolantator 2012, my old one broke last week so I started over and made some improvements. It is a coolant drain and fill machine, it runs on vacuum and can do the job in under 15 minutes. The last pic is the coolantator 2000 which is the one that bit the dust.

You are holding the wrong end!:lol:

Officially it is a radiator hose pick, but that tool there is one of the most useful tools ever invented. It does everything from unplug electrical connectors to scratching your back.

I bet you need 5/16", most hardware stores should have them in the plumbing section.

I have to say I use flex ratchets more than standard straight handle ratchets. In cars you have to "play the slot" and vary the angle of the ratchet as you move through the available work area. If using with an extension the ratchet can be flexed all the way up and used as a speeder.

If you see a Snap-On truck stopped at a shop stop by with the ratchet and they most likely will take care of it right there.

I once dropped a socket in the shop at work, after an hour of searching I gave up. 2 Years later I found it in the trunk of my car. The car was not even built yet when I dropped the socket, and I was now employed at a different shop! I am a big believer in Murphy's Law, here are the laws as...
