I've heard that using chrome sockets will eventually cause this to happen to an impact gun's anvil, especially when using the smaller drive-sizes (this is a 3/8") for heavy-use. Or is this a defect? I should note that the anvil just broke, I didn't hammer on it for an extended period. Zapped...

I've tried searching but haven't found anything.. I seems that I have something that's fallen behind a drawer, so it won't close. I need to remove it but can't figure out how the drawers come out (but then again I haven't really tried). Does anyone know how it comes out?

Looking at air hammers, What does stroke length and blows per minute (what's that sound like? :dunno:) have to do with performance? Is this an instance where a heavier tools is better?

Does know a brand that makes a extra-deep offset wrench? I have a great(!) set of offset box-end wrenches from Hazet, but unfortunately my 24mm isn't deep enough to clear suspension components on the rear of some of the newer Hondas, so I need one that's deeper.. I can't use a socket because...

Occasionally I see guys here talking about how you can't bring a big toolbox into a small shop that's cramped for space. How big is too big? In other words, if I go with a 72"x24" toolbox, is that too big?

I use a swivel fitting like in the picture bellow. Makes it easier to move the cord around. But is there anything better/what do you use?

Maybe someone will appreciate this. Green is the Harbor Freight #7386. They are supposed to be magnetic, never had the chance to test that. My coworker uses them as pry bars and punches. This is daily (mis)use for the last 2-3 months. Red/Black is the Felo 550 series, used them perhaps a...

I'll be buying a set of the (ratcheting, flex head) GearWrench wrenches in 1/4-1". I've also considering buying a Wright nonratcheting set in 1/4 to 1-1/4", but I'm not sure it's worth spending the cash for a set of "Just in case" wrenches, since I can't remember the last time I needed a SAE...

Any ford specific tools that are worth buying? I'll be starting as a lube tech, but should move up to tech fairly quick (hopefully).

What's the purpose (other than stabbing annoying coworkers) of the tapered end?

A couple of the mechanics in my shop have the 5-piece EZ Red extra-long, flex-head ratcheting wrenches that work good for doing lots of things, especially serpentine belts. But I can't find the damn part number for the long set with the "socket" box end. Anyone have the part number (and a...

I saw the "cube" on ToolTopia yesterday but now I can't find it... Anyone have a link? I'm also confused as to how that tool is to be used?

Right now I'm trying to decide on a 3/8" Electric Impact, for use removing lug nuts and suspension parts at home and for smaller things while at work (have air at work). I've found the Makita BTW253 for about $370-ish online, but I can get the Snap-On CT4410A through the student program for...
