Re: Shopping at Harbour Freight Wera makes color coded almost everything - sockets, wrenches, bits... Don't get HF just for that

Re: Shopping at Harbour Freight Wera makes color coded sockets, infinitely better than anything HF and available all over Europe. You'll thank me later.

Cleaning out the shop and I found two chippers to an old dado blade. Stamped "Huther Bros. Co, Rochester, NY". Never heard of them before, does anyone know anything about them? I assume they went out of business long ago. Without the rest of the set the chippers are useless, but I'm still...

I'd like to give them a try

That's good to know Monte, I've never needed to use a brush so large before and hadn't considered a larger grinder for it... I'm still surprised the Fuel finished the job.

They're the same age and get about the same use. Certainly didn't take it easy on either. I'd still get another Fein, in fact I already ordered a replacement Fein. I was impressed with the Fuel, too bad it eats batteries.

I was using a 6" cup wheel on my Fein 11-150 and it let the smoke out within about 30 seconds. I reached for my M18 Fuel grinder since that was my only other option figuring two burnt out grinders is still cheaper than the minimum 1 hour lost labor purchasing a "more suitable" tool. To my...

I got one. Its 21 ga steel, no hiding that. But reasonable well made given the inherent limitations of its parts. With a 10% off coupon it was $223.98, and for that price its just fine

Fluke 87 for sale. $140 plus shipping OBO.

I have the Ryobi 40V and Echo 58V. The Ryobi was ok, but I upgraded to the Echo and haven't looked back. It may not be a great as the European Stihls and Husqvarnas, but it beats the hone owner grade ones for sure.

As for sanding, if you take your time and blend your compound into to wall properly only a light hand sanding should be necessary... Anything more means you need to perfect your technique

You're going to need knives, several of them of increasing sizes to build and blend your layers. As for tape, I prefer the mesh type. I wouldn't get too hung up on COO. Is this a hole patching job or a sheet hanging job? Necessary tools vary depending on application. More information will yield...

The take away here should be that "life time warranty" should be treated as nothing more than a marketing gimmick, not a deciding factor in purchasing. It has nothing/little to do with "standing by" a product and everything to do with selling more of a product. Tell me I'm wrong.

If you find a supplier for the blow molded version please post a link

I have the WSG 15-150 and it is hands down the best grinder I own... Yours may be defective

The 2.5 hp Harbor Freight saw that regularly goes on sale for $219 may be worth a look. https://m.harborfreight.com/10-in-25-hp-tilebrick-saw-69275.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided They don't make much that's worth recommending, but this is.

Thanks for the input

I'm a big fan of Pferd files. I see they offer abrasives like flap discs and cut off wheels, but reviews are limited. Does anyone have experience with them?

W=VA ...an 18 volt platform is the wring application for a heater

I don't see any mention of Chapman MFG https://chapmanmfg.com/ and their tools. Made locally in Durham, CT. We also seem to be overlooing that while new USA tool purchases may support American manufacturing used USA tool purchases benefits no sector but resellers, pawn brokers, and auctioneers...
