I'm curious as to why going 12" out on the handle and hanging weights won't work. It's all simple physics right? nothing more than that.

I'll be sure to give it a check before using it. On a side note, are there any other manufacturers that offer a lifetime warranty on torque wrenches? edit: I suppose I will be forever shunned if I admit that I always just buzz the lug nuts on with my impact wrench and call it good after a...

It will be used for personal vehicle maintenance and some tractor maintenance. My 06 GTO has some front end parts that need attention soon which was the main reason I bought it. Is there any easy methods to check if it's within specs? Would hanging a 50lb weight 1ft out on the handle be an...

I noticed that the 1/2" clicker torque wrench is on sale for $17 at everyone's favorite store so I went in and picked one up. I even got the cashier to scan a 20% off coupon off my phone even so it came out to around $13. Will be using it on suspension components most likely, probably not any...

anyone ever used this before? http://www.harborfreight.com/clutch-pilot-tool-set-66539.html

I love a company with a sense of humor.

An acetylene torch is incredibly handy for cutting but it's been years since I used it for any kind of welding, and even then it was just a tiny bit of brazing. Welding steel I generally reach for my MIG welder before TIG, stick, or O/A just because it's so darn easy to use. I've always used a...

Maybe if you guys had prettier welds you wouldn't need to grind them down? Just joking guys, don't hate me. I bought about 20 flap discs from these guys and I'm impressed because I'm still working on the first one, for the price I don't think they can be beat. http://www.heleta.com/

At the moment I'm obsessed with the big fabrication tools that I don't want to pay for (nice bandsaw, big box/pan brake, tube bender & notcher, various other metalforming tools).

Finally got around to taking some pics of my tools' new home. sorry some of the pics didn't turn out all that great. Kind of embarrassed of my metric drawer, hoping to add some ratcheting box ends soon. I figured I might as well get the huge one because I'll be able to fill it...

That's actually exactly how I broke my 3/4" Thorsen breaker bar...

All I ask is that they make a set of combo wrenches with a freaking 18mm wrench.

I'm glad that I don't work in a shop like many of you describe. Although I am guilty of using ratchets as a hammer, it's my ratchet and I'll do as I please with it.

I'm not sure exactly how thick it is, but those first pieces are 1/4 at the very most that I grabbed out of the scrap bucket with the machine set at around 160 amps. I did wire brush the heck out of them before I welded, I guess it's just kinda hard to see in the pics. I'm going to give some...

Well I decided to go ahead on a longevity multipurpouse unit which was delivered today. I picked up some er70s filler and red tungsten locally since it was actually cheaper. Not bad for a first timer with no formal training huh? very first bead played around a little more, decided to try to...

I would be interested in knowing as well.

that was the first stick bead I had laid in quite a while, I had forgotten how much I dislike stick welding.

might have gone a bit overboard, room to grow I guess.

I found some pretty similar wrenches while cleaning our shop today, stuffed in the back of a drawer.
