    Tool box restoration

    Interesting. Some people say the WD-40 will damage paint, over the long term. I’d rather not do that. Other people say WD-40 leaves an oily residue that attracts dust. This is certainly true but not really a big problem for most surfaces of a toolbox. Why do you recommend Gibbs lubricant over...

    Tool box restoration

    That looks fantastic! I may go that way with it eventually but for now I don’t mind the chipped and peeling paint at all. I’ll probably do my best to knock the rust off with wire brushes, and wipe the surfaces down with WD40 so it rusts a little slower.. A few of the slides don’t work...

    2022 Home Depot's deals/sales/clearance thread

    +1. My only thought is because they’re bundled with a 1/4” hex to square adapter. But you can just attach them directly to the square drive of an impact wrench, so…

    Tool box restoration

    I picked up a Mac MB920 recently that needs some cleanup, not even really restoration just TLC. The first step I’m planning is to wipe things down with WD40 to discourage any further rusting. I’ll try to scrape the rust and loose paint off with paper towels but leave as much of the original...

    Oof. Just another data point, I was on the phone to them this morning and it definitely sounds like that deal is dead. The associate wasn’t directly familiar with this situation but she said that her screens told her that it was canceled by the supplier (Snap-On Industrial Brands), not by Zoro...

    @Nvrplzd - the yellow Conti air hose arrived yesterday. It is what it’s supposed to be and as far as I can tell it’s brad new. 👌

    Brutal! My favorite was when I ordered Stahwille aviation snips and got Craftsman Evolv. Some joker did the thing where you swap em and return it, is my best guess.

    walnut oil is great for treating these boards. An 8oz bottle costs like $9 and lasts forever.

    Can't believe these still haven't disappeared! I'm tempted, but I'm holding off for the moment.

    Metabo (Hitachi) 18V drill and impact driver kit + free 18v/36v multivolt pack after rebate $109 on Amazon

    I bought an 18V die grinder on prime day in part because of this rebate. It took three weeks, maybe a month, for the battery to show up, but it did show up, in a small cardboard box. Then got in on the $109 price for the subcompact drill and impact driver two weeks ago, which also qualifies for...

    Haha no, it’s 1/4” drive, 4mm to 14mm. 12 pieces (including 5.5mm), about $55. USA-made 1/4” drive sockets might be an extravagance but here we are :)

    Great price, great product. These are rarely on sale. I paid $125 for this 5 years ago after shopping around ruthlessly for a good price. The great thing about this style of torque wrench is that they do not go out of calibration if you forget to zero them out. The one disadvantage of this...

    I snagged that 12-piece Proto socket set (1/4” drive metric deep). I’ve got other sockets but the Proto stuff is endgame.

    I’m looking to buy about $350 worth of “material handling” stuff: roller track to partition off a welding/grinding booth. If anyone has a code for that, I’d appreciate it.

    Metabo (Hitachi) 18V drill and impact driver kit + free 18v/36v multivolt pack after rebate $109 on Amazon

    Sometimes you have to look at alternative vendors. It came up as $179 from CPO Tool for me initially, but $109 from Amazon was still right there in the vendor list when I opened it up.
