Length of Cold Rolled steel the proper diameter. Get a thread Die for the steel rod size and two nuts with the proper thread (cap nuts would be an added bonus!) Thread each end of the rod the length of the nut. Screw a nut on each end....... Done! Dave

It's is simply a case of selecting the right tool for the task. Unfortunately you chose poorly. Your hammer is /was fine, sadly it was simply abused. Put a new wood handle on it and refrain from similar actions in the future. Dave

I'm not in Utah but visited there awhile back, I was able to hear just fine while I was there. Is there a sound wave transmission problem I'm unaware of?

Dang! Why do people end up with tools when they haven't a clue of its purpose? Put it in a box, mail it to me, I'll give it a good productive life! Dave

Really, it depends on what you are hitting. Hub caps /wheel covers - rubber Pavers - hard rubber / dead blow Aluminum housings - dead blow, hard plastic Gears / shafts - brass, plastic ......but be careful of chips and slivers of the striking head that may be dislodged from contact with sharp...

Actually that's a no, but it wouldn't matter if it was HF. That was purchased from Gumble Brothers Lumber Co. (Now locally closed) in Newfoundland Pennsylvania, circa 2003 +/- :) Actually that little red bit case was my "odd" bit collection in the shop until it was replaced by this 148 pc...

So, I'm going out on a limb here........... Let me clarify.......You do NOT like Hansen organizers? Signed... Sincerely ......A Donkey **** Sucking, ADD Blind Fool Glad I can entertain.......... :) Question if I may........ Your age? 20/20 vision will become an issue for even you eventually...

There are so many soft hammers! I've got a small wall covered with them. Lead hammers, brass hammers, bronze hammers, rubber hammers (black and white, I'm racially neutral :) ), plastic hammers of various densities, leather hammers, wooden hammers, plastic lead shot filled (dead blow)...

Of Course! I'm NOT about to crack the plastic oil filter housing cover! I can't afford to replace a 2011 Audi 3.0 T engine! Cracked cover = oil leak = MY carelessness = Big $$'s for new engine! No Thank You very much! Dave

With all due respect, it's not so neat, at least not on the German cars (Mercedes, Audi) You unscrew the Plastic housing using a 36mm socket and ratchet handle, pull up the cover with the dripping filter (catching the drips with a rag) put the dripping mess on the bench, pull out the old filter...

Yeah, it's funny how we are returning to replaceable elements. Seems the pendulum has swung! Such a mess they are! Hey! That's why the spin on was invented!! ............ Duh! Dave

If money isn't the problem purchase both 6 & 12 points. I've done that in my 3/8" drive, metric and SAE, deep and shallow. I've filled many Hansen racks. I know, I know........ I've read the tests and the comments on 12's gripping as well as 6's but I really like 6's none-the-less. But on...

I had one of these for decades but the spring fatigued and broke off at the attachment point. This wrench performed without a miss or slip. The harder you turned, the tighter the spring winds itself on the filter body until it breaks loose. Anyway, after it broke, Like a darn fool, I tossed it...

Here are my wrenches, the smaller ones at least! The bigger ones (7/8" +) hang on a wall. These are Sears organizers mentioned a few posts back. (#35) On the left are metric, swivel head ratcheting Gearwrench next to the same size solid box wrench 10mm 10mm, 11mm 11mm, 12mm 12mm, etc. On the...

I've got an older vintage Craftsman Foot Pound click style torque wrench. I've used it for almost 20 years and haven't ever had it calibrated, who has the time or cash???. Anyway, I've always released the tension after using it but with my Son In Law living here now.......he doesn't. :( I...

Vacationed in North Eastern Vermont this past week and stumbled upon this hacked off piece of rail. I think it had been used as a boat bouy anchor in the Lake but now was cast aside in a pile of debris awaiting Mother Earth to reclaim it. I figured the good Mother would appreciate me having an...

I agree with the others, 84 is new! You must be a newbie to cars. My first car was a 1960. Heck, 1970's are new cars to me! All that Dang emission **** bolted on! Do you remember carburetors? Dave

Not to brand bash but give us a manufacturer. I worked for Pella for years, quality window but the was a minor amount of rot inside the aluminum. Anderson cladding is the frame and sill only on the double hungs. Casements have a clad "sash", The double hung sash was covered with a high quality...

Great minds think alike? Your chart is better than mine! :) Dave
