I've got that tray as well and love it. I did however modify it with new casters which have brakes on them.

There might be better ones out there, but I've had good luck with Forney wire wheels. Made in USA and modestly priced. I use a wire wheel quite a bit and haven't had a problem with excessive shedding. I can easily get three years out of one with regular usage. Any wire wheel that gets used is...

I'm a home gamer myself. I use a torque wrench maybe once or twice a year. This will be an unpopular opinion for some, but I use a Quinn 1/2" digital torque adapter, and I also have their 3/8" digital wrench for smaller stuff and have been very pleased with the results. I also have an old...

I've got a vintage car with an iffy at best fuel gauge. Got tired of keeping a plastic can in the trunk that would tip over and leak, and/or expand and overflow when it got hot in there. Bought one of these to keep ga.., er, water in and haven't looked back since. Absolutely love it, and no more...

Four pages of outrage into it, but yet nobody here has filed a lawsuit charging copyright infringement. Why is that? Oh, that's right...it's nobody's business but Knipex or HF. Either buy the Icon's or don't, shop at HF or don't...nobody cares what you do...especially Knipex or HF. So all you...

No, it's not for sale...Imma gonna restore it some day 🤪

Three or four years ago I had a project and needed a die grinder for some wire wheel cleanup so I picked up the HF cheapo version. I don't often have a need for one so I didn't want to go whole hog for a quality unit. It would probably get your job done, but my experience found them to be a bit...

Hay fork huh? You learn something new everyday. At least I figured out it was farm related :D:D

As to the first item, it looks to me like it might be a very old livestock stanchion of some pattern. But I could be very wrong on that. Hard for me to tell how and how much those side supports pivot so I can envision how it would work. If these items are related, it may well be the scale was...

Because back in the pre-fuel injection days, you adjusted ignition timing in a car's distributor. Those distributors have some pretty small nuts in there with very little working room for adjusting points and/or replacing condensers. Thus "ignition wrench".

By no means am I any sort of "bleeding heart", but you've really touched on something here. The majority of Americans have absolutely ZERO sense of what real poverty is. I haven't been there/seen that as you have, but I did learn a valuable lesson about this when I was a kid from my dad. He grew...

Those are the type I recommended in my previous post...but I would take a pass on that set. They've been knocked around against each other which will dull them at best, and chip them at worst. I know a lot of folks are down on buying vintage sets, and to be fair, you are taking a bit of a...

Three or four years ago I bought the Amazon set (more or less, don't recall the brand, but they all seem the same). They're okay in a pinch if as others said, you go very slow and remember to use lube. You'll also find the tap handles to be **** as they fall apart if you look at them funny. If...

I picked up a Gearwrench brand rolling tray more or less like yours a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/GEARWRENCH/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Man...has this thread brought back a few memories, and a few tears. When I was a kid, he was my hero. He could do everything from overhauling an engine to building a kite with tools from his shoe box sized tool box he ALWAYS had with him. I can't even begin to count how many times I've been...

I've found that when this happens, you need to tighten the base. I'm guessing that twisting it off surfaces during normal use causes the battery contact point to get loose.

I'm around 6' 2" and recently upgraded from a Harbor Freight plastic job to a Whiteside 6 wheeler with the tilting headrest. On both I have to scoot down to the end to fit on comfortably. I have to say that the HF ones I've always found "comfortable" overall, but that tilting headrest is the...

I picked up the M12 3/8" Stubby Impact from Acme the other day for $129. Also snagged a set of Tekton 12 piece 3/8 deep well impact sockets off of Amazon for $30 to go with it. Also snagged one of the Quinn 3/8" digital torque wrenches and a box of rubber gloves at HF. That should pacify me for...

I have the 1/4" Impact driver, and while I like it, I consider it a fairly "light duty" type of tool. Basically Milwaukee claims it puts out more or less 108 ft. lbs. of torque, but I haven't pushed mine anywhere near that hard to find out if it's true. A couple of days ago Acme Tool had the...

Good to hear. I too wanted to upgrade my old Craftsman acetates that I have clung to my whole life. I've always loved the ability to spin off fasteners with my fingertips like the Craftsman design allows me to do. That's why I don't care for say the Wera or "tri-lobe" design handles. Can...
