I exclusively use extended at work, so do a couple of other guys. I've been thinking about getting an Insider just so I can reduce even further and have 1 ratchet that can swap anvils, instead of separate tools.

I am thinking about picking up some of the V-series long handle flex ratchets, any thoughts on the comfort grips and how well they hold up?

Buy one of the Bendoack Super Tall 4 posts that a class B can drive under, slap the caster kit on it, modify an I beam with some rollers to ride the top rails and give it a winch. You now have yourself a 4 post lift that doubles as a mobile bridge crane. And you did it fairly in expensively...

It is a mini blade, super handy, has a magnet on the back too that can support itself in most positions. LumaStik 8 (mxn01005)

Looks like my mini proto, I love it.

If you aren't wearing boots where are you stuffing that pig skinner?

I figured a knife would be a given, I didn't mention that I wear socks everyday either, but I figured it was implied. I would probably feel more naked without a knife than socks.

A flub blade flashlight in my back pocket and the 4" Proto 704s wrench on my keys gets me pretty far, but since my oldest boy "borrowed" and misplaced my SOG EOD I have been a bit out of sorts. Since I am ordering a new multi tool I thought about what to replace it with and how horrible the...

Talk to your insurance agent to begin with soon how they want it handled. My guy just wanted me to do an inventory and put the list somewhere safe. Although if the value of your tools will eclipse the value of the building they are in, the insurance company might want to be made aware of that at...

Yep, when I was starting out I mostly haunted the used and repo section on the SnapOn truck. It got to the point he would point on the scores to me. He always took care of me on anything I got out of there despite the second hand nature. Now that I no longer have a truck SnapOn corporate will...

That would look good, especially since I have two other buildings made of the stuff, but there is a carport factory a few miles down the road from me, so I can get a heck of a deal on more traditional materials through them.

Thats pretty cool how well that worked, especially for what would be a pretty fast process

It's a farm, everything is both temporary and permeant at the same time. I am looking to rent more pasture more, so making things look nice really helps get land lords to trust me, but I also have limited time for fancy details since I have more fencing to put up and water lines snd hydrants to...

Are you saying you just pulled that battens, put the flashing on top of the boards and caulked and then put the buttons back on? Might still have some issues with water running behind the top of the flashing, but it would definitely fix the splash issue. That's super encouraging as I was...

My shop is in the main section of the building, the milking parlor is about 14x35, with another 14x20 behind that was the cattle entrance. I would eventually like to turn the old milking parlor into an office area, but that is a little ways off and will require a raised floor because it's slab...

The west wall of my old mortise and tennin barn is in rough shape. It's the long walk of a lean to addition of the main barn that was a milking parlor when this place was a dairy farm. Lots of bits of broken siding and the bottom edge of the old wood siding is rotting out. The sil plate is...

Snap On owns CDI and Norbar and Bahco and Williams. They make essentially all of their torque wrenches for their different brands at the same factory in California. I've had engineers from that plant in the phone before and they are mighty proud of all their products. I am not sure if...

I am still working on sorting out the last trailer load of totes we hauled back from my FIL's estate. It's taken years to get this far and I'm not even sure when I will get it done. The place was a mess when he passed and it looks us months to just put the good stuff into totes, and everything...

Thanks! Velocity vs air volume was the real question on how to start looking at this. And you have definitely given me a good starting point on my search. I will probably skip the HF unit as I will be running this thing on high multiple times a day to cool parts, and I would prefer to have the...

Is this a dig suggesting that I'm acting like an old woman for not wanting to handle hot parts? If so, it's hilarious
