    Are qualtech "real" tools

    I've seen qualtech drills and cutters and the prices look pretty good. Perhaps too good. My question isn't whether they are the best. If I need the best I'll buy to brands from Germany or Japan or the US. My question is, if I order a Qualtech M42 cobalt drill bit, will I actually get a M42...

    Milwaukee m12 Cordless rotary tool

    I got tired of wearing out dremel tools, so i thought id try the Milwaukee cordless one since it was 129 at home depot and came with the charger, a 2ah and a 4ah battery, and sooner or later i want to get one of their m12 ratchets. I usually avoid the cordless ones but figured the m12 batreries...

    Need to identify Rivetking pop riveter

    I just got a pop riveter. It looks like a rivetking rk8000 but the only number on it is 2011m-B10339. I can't find any trace of a rk2011m on the internet or their (very bad) website.

    How many have broken impact sockets of any kind.

    I've actually never broken an impact socket. I've broke. Regular sockets, both with an impact wrench, but never a impact socket no matter how I abused it. The only exception was a1/2" drive 14mm Craftsman deep impact socket. (made in China, not US) I it used as a drift punch on many occasions...

    Help. My mac MB8200 has a stuck lock.

    The lock on my MB8200 bottom box it's stuck. I know the key is correct. In fact it locked the box a few days ago. Now the lock won't turn. Not even a lite. It's as if I have the wrong key but the key matches the number on the cylinder. I looked in the gaps between the drawers with a flashlight...

    DeWalt using pouch cells in new "Power stack" batteries.

    This is interesting. They claim 25% smaller footprint, twice the lifetime and "50%" more power. But they have a lot of disclaimers. They say "Regarding 50% more power: vs. DCB203 battery, not in application". It's unclear what exactly that means. They compare it to a 2ah battery. So I would...

    An odd thing I found on my Atlas 00 arbor press

    I stripped all the paint off my Atlas 00 arbor press and found this. I never seen anything like this? Does anyone have any idea what it is? A repair to a void in the cast perhaps? My inclination is to grind it out and braze it with RBCuZn-D "nickle silver" brazing rod, the same way I would...

    Using metal from twisted axle.

    This is totally hypothetical,but it just occured to me and some day it might be good to know. Suppose I have a badly twisted axle shaft. Obviously the metal is "damaged" and " weakened" however you want to interpret that. But supposed I want to cut a length of it out and use it for something...

    Fuller 192-5 needle nose pliers

    I was making a little tool today from the spring from a binder clip. I heated it cherry red, and then bent it and filed it into shape. I then brought it to cherry red and quenched it. That made it so hard it just snapped off so I made another, brought it to cherry red, quenched it then polished...

    I saw these today.

    I went to "Apple Hill" today. For those that are not from around here, it's an area where a the apple growers have set up this tourist trap with overpriced (but awesome tasting) apple doughnuts and apple shakes and lots of other apple themed stuff, as well as tons of fresh picked apples. One of...

    What are good brands of jack stands.

    Considering the recent recalls of harbor freight jack stands of they ever were an option they are not now. Any other stand from china may well be made in the same factories. Mac Tools has some for a price that's not cheap, but not insane. Those should be a reasonable option. But I'm wondering...

    Hanson Ace vs Ace hardware

    The CS rep from Irwin Hanson just tried to convince me that my Henry L Hanson Ace tap set was "made by Ace Hanson" and that I need to contact Ace hardware for warranty service. Am I crazy or are they vocalizing from their ******?

    Sold! Morgan 35, 135, 87 Jaw insert $30 Sold!

    I have one jaw insert. I believe it is from a Morgan 35, 135 or 87. I compared my measurements to this pdf and it looks spot on. But beyond the fact that I was lucky enough to find these measurements that seem to match my jaw, I have no information as to where it came from or where it's sibling...

    Reforging the shards: Need broken Rock Island vice jaws

    I have a crazy idea for an experiment. I have a rock island 591 with a broken jaw. Most of it is missing. I'm looking for donations of broken jaws or even fragments of them. My hope is to piece together a whole jaw and weld it together using broken vice jaws fragments as filler. (I'll probably...
