    Tekton screwdriver handles

    Guess I'm not the only one that thought that about their shape. To the OP; It may look odd, but you can get some great grip with that handle design. I would go as far as saying the grip is better suited for transferring torque than my Wera Kraftforms. As for spinning out screws quickly, it just...

    I want a longer pry bar ...

    If you need a big prybar, the big Mayhew Dominators are nice. I use the same bars (company provided) at work, so i had no doubts about about what brand to go with. Even the mold setup crew cant break them, that says alot. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    Looking for a lower cost AC/DC Tig? check this out.

    I believe its the inverter that causes the amps to not drop as low when in AC. As the freq knob is turned, you can see the amps increase with it. As for the other issue, I believe its a condensation issue keeping it live after the pedal is hit. I guess i could try to replicate it with the...

    Looking for a lower cost AC/DC Tig? check this out.

    While its my first tig welder, I can say im pretty happy with the Primeweld so far. I have almost ran through a 125 cu ft bottle on mine learning to tig weld. The only negatives are that in AC it doesn't drop down as low, and the number increases as you raise the frequency. When turned to the...

    Who makes decent screwdrivers?

    The two that i like the best of the varying screwdrivers I have are the Wera Kraftform and Tekton. The handles on both allow you to get lots of gripping force. I keep the Tekton set at work and the running joke about them are that the handles look like an alien phallus. Oh well, the price was...

    Lowe’s out of touch

    I could see where farmers would purchase a 3/4 inch set, but im sure farm and fleet or tractor supply would have that covered. Other than that, the biggest nut encountered by most would be a ball hitch nut. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    They are pretty robust. I know the 1/2 to 3/8 can handle 125 ft lbs. I couldnt find my 1/2 inch 12 point while torquing down some arp head bolts so i had to use my 3/8 drive socket. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    Best harmonic balancer pulley installer kit

    Ive used the Powerbuilt/ Alltrade set from advance auto several times. It installs and removes, and ive never had a problem out of it. The same cannot be said of the Autozone loaner tools brands. When the need arises for a speciality tool, I check Advanced Auto for Alltrade/ Powerbuilt. Give...

    They sale another kit for the weatherpacks. I've got both but havent used either much yet. For the few crimps ive made with each, they seem to work pretty well even for a novice. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    Good and bad online tool stores

    Add Circle C and Epstiens to the list. As for handling issues, ZORO customer service is top notch. I placed an order for a proto socket set and it included two 10mm sockets. They handled the return quickly, sending out another as soon as they had a return tracking confirmation and upgrading the...

    Question about Home depot warranty

    Well the grinder went back to Home Depot today. The process was hassle free and took less than 5 minutes. They told me to go grab another one to replace it with and that was it. No long wait in line or anything. Hoping this one proves to be more reliable. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    Question about Home depot warranty

    As for performance before it died, it was pretty good as long as you used the higher amp hr batteries. It had no trouble cutting through 120 inches of 12 gauge steel. As expected it will eat through batteries while cutting, but i picked up a 2 pack of 9 amp hr batteries as well. I was surprised...

    Question about Home depot warranty

    Two weeks ago i picked up a Ryobi 18v one plus combo from home depot. The kit included a drill, impact driver and circular saw, along with two free bare tools. So naturally I picked up the reciprocating saw and the 4 1/2 inch p423 grinder. Well long story short, the grinder gave out a few days...

    Mid level Cut off tool for home use: pneumatic or battery powered?

    Its a brushless model. Hate to see what a non brushless would be like. Think next time ill stick to the air tools and use the cordless grinder for edge cleanup. A plasma cutter is in the cards in the near feature. Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    Mid level Cut off tool for home use: pneumatic or battery powered?

    I picked up a Ryobi p423 grinder a few days ago. It came with a grinding and cutoff wheel along with the cutoff guard. Figured I would try it out yesterday while making a batterey box. While i was impressed with the power of it, it drains batteries quickly. Cutting through 12 guage, i made...

    Got a 2 pack of 9 amp hr batteries for the Ryobi One + tools I bought Sunday. My cousin is fixing to add another 30 ft onto his garage, so the circular saw will be seeing heavy use shortly. Also picked up a dewalt impact bit set, along with some 3/32 collets and a gas lens kit for the tig...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Gotta give the Vulcan large heavy duty welding cabinet a pass. Item number is 63179. Its well built has several compartments for storage of your welding accessories. The way the drawers open could be better, but that is my only complaint Sent from my LML713DL using Tapatalk

    Picked up the Ryobi set that was listed in the hot deals thread at Home Depot. Added the grinder and reciprocating saw for the free tools. For 159 and some change, i feel it was well worth it. Done gave the grinder a workout cleaning up some metal for praticing tig welding on. Done have a...

    Snap on will “reclaim” my tool box?!??

    Re: Snap on will “reclaim” my tool box?!? Possibly could do a two party certified check with snap on being the other party. Ive done that with a car that had a lien on it. The creditor was perfectly content with that even though the amount was 1k less than payoff. Sent from my LML713DL using...

    Flying sparks garage on youtube is what led to Live love wrench. While it lacks the production quality, it also adds to the character of the show. Its more of what the average garage journal member would tackle on the weekend. Full custom garage provides great content on really advanced levels...
