Neji-saurus pliers. These are great for twisting stuff out, removing rusty screws, pulling out pins, etc. Super precision.

I got a few pics here in a different thread on the 3/8 drive Koken set. What I really like about it apart from the production perfection is the great metal case - almost the same size as my old red USA husky set...

I've posted reviews on amz saying only that all the other reviews are by the same person - it's crystal clear to me from the style and how everything is 100% perfect - and especially how wonderful the seller is. What happens to those reviews of mine? Well they do get in, so I give amz credit for...

Got this yesterday - $300

I bought this last year based on its reviews. It was the highest rated jack hammer of the lot. As for the machine? I love it enough to want to have its babies.

I'm with XJSuperman on this - I'd guess even the 40-grit stripping tool would clog up. Did you try this drum at all? What about a wire brush drum? Sorry all I've removed is paint / stain.

Right - try 8 hours non-stop leaning over scaffolding, sanding a 30-foot wall. :)

Well it's a credit to the student that built this one - I have 4 brass hammers, and this one is tighter than all the others! Even an old snapon.

Hi! Can anyone identify the logo on this hammer? I got it as a freebie along with another brass hammer, but I use it more than anything else because of its smaller size - I do some work on small engines. Thanks!

I went in to HF today to see if the 40-grit drums were on sale - they are not, they are still $30 a pop. But I ended up getting one of the Bauer machines for $60 (down from $150), which includes the 40-grit drum, plus another two, and the machine itself. Seems like a no-brainer to me, and now I...

I had a couple of cheap sockets (like 10mm or thereabouts) break on me many years ago but I remember the pain in my hand very clearly. I think the piece that came off one of them actually went into space, or burnt up in the atmosphere or something.

My guess is that paint eater would leave more lines and gouges than the SCT, and be slower at it too. Even with the SCT I sometimes chew out a little of the wood, but for my house it's not a big deal.

I am doing this as a scientific experiment. I am actually a collector of nuts and bolts of various different materials and grades, and also a collector of tools. To me this is an exciting piece of personal research to which I can apply some time. To your point - I have absolute zero interest in...

I've been looking for the strongest possible hexagonal bars. Maraging steel would be best but I can't find anything available in that shape. I would try the MP35N bolts for sports cars - at about 260kpis tensile strength, but they are $200 a pop. What I could find to be just about the strongest...

If anyone is considering this tool for their exterior siding - a lot will depend on the orientation of the wood. I found this machine works beautifully for vertical stuff, where you can easily push on it and drag it downwards. For 45 degree wood it's a bit of a pain and I'd consider a sanding...

They have everything under the sun. I tried a few for stripping paint off wood and by far the best one is from HF - the black one, made of very solid hard black abrasive mesh of some kind. They are $80 on amz for the Eastwood brand but they are identical to the $40 HF ones.

I own the Eastwood version of this and truly love the machine. I've been using it to sand off the old stain from the siding on my house. I've done 3 very large walls (and 200 feet of fence) so far and it's easily the best tool I own for this - and I own just about every possible tool for sanding...

Hello all - I'm building up the equipment for a study of the torque strengths of different brands of non-impact sockets. I've looked on YT for something but all I could find was either stuff about ratchet wrenches, or some idiotic videos that didn't actually succeed in the test. I didn't find...

Yes I noticed that after I posted :) But yeah these topics become useful to many other people over the years. And the Tekton is particularly deep in this respect (snapon is the opposite). I'm using it to hold a snap-on hex bit and testing the failure torques for a range of socket brands. Will...

Tekton indicates they specifically make deep broaches. For the 1/2" drive 10mm it is 1-inch deep hex. Here's from their catalogue:
