Used when possible and/or practical, certain things like specialty tools or almost anything knipex or wera you plain and simply aren’t going to find used very often so it’s not an option, and with for instance many snap-on products you’re really not saving very much buying used in many cases so...

It makes sense to a degree and I see it pretty often in any line of commission work (high end designer clothing brands for instance tend to be the worst offenders) but at the same time, all new customers are potential “time wasters” and it’s very frustrating as a customer to encounter sales...

Odds are there’s no issue but I’d open the drain valve and check if there’s still water in there, if so drain it and if it comes out dark brown/full of rust then you’ve probably got a problem, of course running tests is always safer but for all the tens/hundreds of thousands of old air...

Unfortunately not the first time I’ve heard of a company being absolutely determined to prevent people from buying their products, no idea how they stay in business considering the competition especially if they have no website to order from, never seen a truck before and I’m clearly not the...

I’d be surprised if they even had boards in them, transient power surges i assume is what blows fuses for no apparent reason but as far as an actual problem there’s probably a short somewhere, possibly the motor which would probably not save you much over a new unit

Try to get the exact same rating, a tiny difference probably won’t matter if that’s all you have or can get, but may as well just get the right one. The stuff you see in the glass (or not if it’s opaque) doesn’t matter, I’ve seen many many variations, whatever it’s rated for is when and how...

Been thinking of making a thread for this actually, curious if it’s regional since I’ve never heard anyone in person call it anything but a weedwhacker, but online I’ve heard weedeater, string trimmer among others, the latter would be the proper generic name I’m assuming

It’s pretty much a gamble, small two stroke engines have a pretty limited lifespan and besides the head it’s difficult to tell when parts are worn or soon to fail. Not a bad idea if it’s going to be rarely used but if it’s gonna be weekly like edging after you cut the lawn you’re best off going...

If this is the only thing you’ll ever need air for, just buy an electric honestly, sounds like an angle grinder might work just as well too. I’m really big on air tools personally but even still i admit The compressor is only worth the investment if you’ll be using it often and with multiple tools

The jaws spreading and/or rounding the nut isn’t a realistic outcome to you? Obviously you’re either working in a way different field than the rest of us or you don’t use them at all, because that’s why there was demand in the first place for him to make this video, that open ends are known for...

I use 1/4 drive more than anything on hand tools, but still can’t really see a point in impact sockets nor the gun itself, only really break an impact out for really tough fasteners in which case 1/2 is usually in order, if you really need something smaller an impact driver with an adapter or...

Correct me if I’m wrong, looked like you were comparing your fd+ to his regular fd to suggest that the grooves in the jaws were normal on all SO wrenches and you just never noticed them, so I was saying they’re two very different products, one should be heavily grooved one should not be at all...

Gotta make sure you say it doesn’t bother you, everyone will jump down your throat if it bothers you lmao I’d say it’s gotta be humidity, climate control is very difficult in large warehouses like amazon uses and like you said the insert would show signs of it if anything infiltrated the...

Charging port getting grimed up is a very common issue and easy to clean with a needle or paperclip etc. but the cords go bad about as often as buildup becomes a problem, ironically apple OEM cords are the worst by far in my experience, all the others I’ve had no matter how cheap lasted longer...

I Isn’t that a flank drive plus? Those ones are specifically designed with the grooves to bite into the fastener and grip better, the one in the op is clearly tooling marks that weren’t polished over, not necessarily a problem either way but two very different things

Yeah those prices do seem more than a little crazy, wonder if there’s something about an in-line design that makes it more expensive somehow? In any case ebay or a site like yardstore with a “surplus”/used section is probably your best bet, air tools are usually pretty foolproof as far as used...

Okay that’s by far the best one I’ve ever seen 🤣 better yet it’s something I’m actually considering buying now that’s a good price for an induction bolt buster

I’d say neither are “wrong” and I have heard them called that before, usually by people who don’t use them often but “ratchet” is unambiguous and there are multiple meanings to what a “socket wrench” is. could be those L shaped pipe wrenches, could be the combo wrenches with a socket on one end...

Use this every day, can confirm it’s awesome and you should stop being jealous and get one :)

What would you suggest for a more “real world” test? The primary goal of testing wrenches against each other is to see how the WRENCHES perform, if the bolt just breaks or thread strips every time then you would have a useless test, every result would be the same bar the absolute worst maybe...
