Hey Guys! I have been on the hunt for some extra long hex drivers for my 1/4" electric impact nut driver. Basically what i am looking for is an extra long version of the attached image with the detent cutout. The closest thing i can locate are long drivers with a 1/4" square drive, but that...

Hey GJ! I realize that I haven’t been the most active member on the forum and it probably looks a bit odd that I have been a member for 5 years and have only made a handful of posts. I have been more of a lurker over that time period, but never the less GJ competes with Craigslist for my most...

I have heard/seen factories using a high voltage wire to cut metal, and am wondering if anyone has ever attempted to do this type of thing using a mig welder with maximum voltage and a high wire speed? I know when you keep the tip in the same spot it burns a hole through the metal. Any reasons...

I've never rebuilt an engine before and am wondering if there are any tricks or techniques that people use when doing it? This is just something that I've always had an interest in but have never actually done anything about it. :bounce:

I'm wondering what people do with the old 1 gallon paint cans that still have paint in them. I have a bunch of them and are taking up valuable shelf space. Keep or throw? If keep is their any good way to consolidate them?
