    3/8" vs. 1/2" Impact question

    got both 3/8 and 1/2 impacts sockets in Snap-on, but almost never use the 3/8 impact set. it's the 3/8 or 1/4 chrome set that get used. for torque levels seen by 3/8 or 1/4 in sockets. for the rare times 3/8 impact drivers are used, it's fine to use chrome sockets. vs 1/2 in impact sockets...

    use a credit card.... merchants don't have a choice but to do refunds... that is if they want to continue to use Visa/Mastercard. all you have to do is call your credit card co up ...you tried to return merchandise and merchant refused to give refund.

    Chainsaw Sharpener?

    it's a remake of an old system that never sold or worked well. this version has guides to dress the stone. note cutters are set at an extreme angle to allow stone to work. requires use of a completely different chain to work. in spite how promote video showing pro's using this setup. highly...

    Chainsaw Sharpener?

    hand filing is good unless you wack something hard. then a tooth gets damaged and a grinder is needed. learning curve for sharpening by hand can be steep. once you figure it out, then sharp chains can be hand filed faster than you can change out a chain. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and...
