    Mechanix Gloves Sale

    That's weird, I don't have that problem. I wear XL gloves, and their XL gloves fit me the same as everybody elses.

    Grey Pneumatic vs Genius Tools for Professional use

    I like Grey because I got complete sets for a good price, they hold up well, and I don't need to warranty them through Grey, I can warranty them directly from the place I bought them from. If I remember correctly, they said I'd pay to ship the socket to them, and they'd send me a replacement and...

    CFL lamps becoming obsolete ??

    CFLs have been obsolete for a while now, ever since LEDs have gotten better and cheaper. As your CFLs die, replace them with quality LEDs. They might seem stupid expensive, but they last a lot longer. So, in the end, it's actually cheaper to go with LEDs, it just takes a bit more to stomach the...

    Air Impacts are DEAD

    I don't see air going anywhere, it's cheaper than electric by far, if you've already got the other equipment, which you would have if you're painting, sand blasting, and stuff like that. They're also a lot lighter, and can be made more compact because they don't have a battery pack hanging off...

    Moving machinery up stairs?

    I'd remove everything you can to make it as light as possible, and then hire movers to get them up the stairs, and then do the rest of it yourself, if that will save you any money. But if it doesn't save you any money to have them stop at the stairs, might as well have them take it all the way...

    Air Impacts are DEAD

    He's not saying air is dead for everybody, only specifically for himself.

    Oil filter wrench... never used this type

    I use that one, made by Lisle. Just used it the other day, couldn't undo the filter by hand, put that filter wrench on it, stuck a ratchet on the end, turned it without any issues. Cost me $10, well worth every penny, even though I've only used it once so far. Damn does it feel good to have the...

    Thoughts on a newly patented screwdriver?

    I don't see any benefit to this over the normal ball-detent ones. And if I was going to be in a position where I'd be worried about not having a hand free to change the bit on a ball-detent one, then I'd just have two regular screwdrivers handy. Personally, I wouldn't try to make it, or market...

    Those god awful stickers

    Heat them up with a hair dryer or heat gun and then pull them off in one big chunk. If it's a big sticker then heat up a small portion and pull it back, then heat up the next portion and pull it back, repeat until the whole sticker comes off in one piece. If any residue is left then clean it up...

    Snap-On KRA-58D Pawn Shop Score, Full of Tools

    Wish I had pawn shops like that in my area. My local pawn shops would've wanted $2k+ for all that.

    Gas Chamber for Mice

    I wouldn't do that with cars because then the rodents will die in place, and if you can't find them then you get to deal with smelling rotting rodents, which doesn't sound even close to being pleasant. What you need to try and do is see if you can hire a professional to help you figure out why...

    Shop Break in

    I'd head for Gearwrench, they're excellent quality for the money. So long as you're not expecting Snap-On then I think you'll be quite happy.

    What tinkering/hobby do you have?

    Well, if I could afford it, and had the space for it, my hobby would be amateur gunsmithing and reloading ammo. Unfortunately I have neither the money nor the space, so I don't really have any true hobbies right now. But maybe someday I'll get a real job where I can afford fun toys.

    Batterries blowing up!!!???!!!?!

    Never had a battery explode, and I pray it's something I never have to deal with. Just one of the perks of being one of the younger people in here and not being part of the automotive industry yet.

    Mom, can we keep him???

    Just so long as they come up with a cure for the as of yet unnamed phobia of snake bites/snake venom.

    Milwaukee Cordless Ratchet

    Go with the small 3.0 batteries over the bigger batteries. I think the smaller batteries are perfect for it, and the bigger ones would make it a bit too cumbersome.

    How to secure heavy Black Walnut magentic knife block to the wall?

    In my honest opinion, from having played with small rare earth magnets I've gotten from computer hard drives, there's a lot more force (bad word? maybe attraction is better?) in magnet-magnet that'd you'd have to over come in order to pull it off the wall, than there would be involved in...

    How to secure heavy Black Walnut magentic knife block to the wall?

    Okay, so this might sound really stupid, as I haven't had food yet, so I'm not thinking super clearly, so please don't hate me if this sounds stupid, but; what if you route out the back of the block to fit more rare earth magnets, and then mount rare earth magnets to the wall that fit into the...
