Last year I had to enlarge some 7/16 holes to 1/2" in over thirty, heavy spring steel, chisel plow shanks. Ended up buying a single bridge/car reamer and it worked beautifully! Now I want a set to have on hand so the next hole enbiggening project I don't have to wait on UPS or try my luck with a...

Had it about two years, only abused it once a year ago (bouncing on it with about 3/4 of my weight) and it took it like a champ. Today I was just pulling on it with normal grunt force and it suddenly got all sloppy. Of course I'm going to warranty it, but now I'm thinking I need a better one...

Last week I was working on some 36mm JD hydraulic fittings in a tight spot. Crescent wrenches had too big of a head, combo wrenches were too long, and Tekton angle wrenches don't exist in that size. Enter a single DIN 894 I bought off amazon a while back for a rack and pinion project. The thing...

Been looking around for a set that goes up to at least 15/16. Love the SK set, but I prefer satin finish for grip. Our shop has a Popular Mechanics set in satin (that is quite well made) that goes up to 3/4 so I know they were made at some point. Hard to find anything satin these days except...

Ive been slowly trying to build a set of slug wrenches on the cheap, usually around $20 a piece on ebay. It's tough, in part, because they're so expensive new but mostly because theres so many names they could be listed under (slug, slugging, slugger, striking, striker, hammer, slog, slogger...

In my little corner of the shop the old HF end cabinet was the perfect fit next to my Husky box. Thanks to GJ I finally needed that last bit of extra storage so I bought a new end cabinet, knowing they were deeper now, thinking I would use it as a base for the old one. $200 and a 2hr round trip...

Im on a quest to find something to drive my tap holders. I've been through all the past posts on ratcheting t-handles and have gotten some good ideas, but the few options I like would have to come from the UK it seems. So if I settle for a non-ratcheting t-handle I'd want it to be bigger than...

Had the thing for five years but it's seen very little use. I bought it for times when the shops SK was too long. Its the exact same design and even made in USA so I figured it was a steal at $80 compared to SK prices. However today I was going up to 100 ft/lbs and just before I got there the...

Forgive me if this has been posted already but I was looking at the HD site trying to remember what I paid for my Husky chest and saw this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-52-in-13-Drawer-and-1-Door-Tool-Chest-and-Rolling-Cabinet-Set-in-Black-HOTC5213B11S/301958307 $400 just seems crazy low...

Thinking I'm finally going to upgrade from my Craftsman RP wrenches I've had since the late 90's. After significant thought I've concluded I want: USA made anti-slip open end long pattern Searching online for US made anti-slip open ends I've come up with Wright (which are out due to being...

So the internet is amazing for researching something specific- something I already had in mind. But sometimes I just want to browse through pages and discover things I never knew existed. But downloading and clicking through .pdf's is tedious (especially with my rural Flintstones internet) and...

I see HF has a stubby impact gun now- Earthquake XT stubby with some 700 ft/lbs (claimed) of torque. I haven't found any reviews of it yet, or preferably a comparison to others on the market. I've had it in my mind for a while now that I want one, and leaned toward the Astro Pneumatic. But hate...
