I have searched this forum back thru May and have not seen this topic, so here it goes... Does anyone know whether SK is slated to make a combination wrench line with similar technology to snap-on's flank drive plus lines and wright-grip lines for not rounding off a bolt/nut using the open end...

How huge is the importance of storm windows in regards to keeping heat in/ cold out? My educated guess would be the airspace between window and storm panes serves as a barrier, keeping inside and outside air at bay. Currently I do not have the storm windows in. Should I throw them on there? They...

Everyone and their mother is on this Milwaukee wave and it makes me ill. Every other brand is just for homeowners, but Milwaukee is for the pros. Nevermind Milwaukee gets all the endcap space and all the display setups at the big box stores along with ryobi. Do not get me wrong they are great...

USA made and lifetime warranty, I can always depend on my Leatherman when I'm in a pinch. When I don't have it on me is when I need it the most, so I've learned to never leave home without it in it's sheath on my waist.

i came across some NOS vise-grip locking wrenches at a local hardware store that was going out of business. the packaging looked ancient and had dust all over it! i picked them up at the premium price of $18.79, but to me well worth it. they are the vise-grip 7lw, when vise-grip was owned by...

I had to walk out last night shortly after starting my shift. We work with dies that range from 100lbs all the way to 8 tons. Some of the dies are cooled with 335 degree "water" or rather steam under 145psi. (water boiling point 212 f). The high temp water hoses that connect to the die are quick...

I sacrifice speed for strength and always grab a 6 point.takes a bit longer finding proper angle for best leverage and sometimes cant get the best angle, in which case ill go for a 12. I just love the "full contact" feel i get from a six; feels a lot stronger and takes less effort....or is it...

In a world filled with facebook posts, Twitter feeds, snapchat and all the other social media we have, I was still lonely. I had few people to express my love of tools with. I used to get an awesome new tool and felt the strong urge to share with others, but facebook post after facebook post, my...

Is it proper to splice 18 wire with 12?...on a 20 amp circuit? Is it even safe? Bought a floodlight that I want to put up but wasn't sure about the smaller wires...stranded at that. What does one do in this case? Thanks.

i ran 12/2 uf cable, about 450' of it, from the garage to my sons' clubhouse. i did not bury most of it. i have stakes pounded in the ground about every 20' or so, and stapled down to each one, a good 8 inches above ground. the route i ran was alongside my property where i do not weed whack or...

Let's see your pride and joy, and what immediate improvements do you notice?

I was wondering if any HVAC guys could shed their insight. I have an FHA. System and Last winter I noticed that the return registers (in the walls not the floors) also pull air from their stud bays. I figured with my leaky house it would not put too much load on the blower by sealing up the stud...
