You know that thing they do with a Dairy Queen Blizzard before they had it to you? The upside down flip and the ice cream and spoon don't fall on the ground? Robertson's are like that when they're paired with a good driver or bit (No magnet required). I also find that they are much, much, much...

I was driving my little Bolens 1700 w/ blower back to my house this morning after clearing out a coworker's driveway who's away for the holidays when an older gentleman flagged me down. He was 3/4 done shoveling his driveway and had gotten to the 4' tall snow bank the municipal plow had put at...

Gray Canada calls theirs a "Square Recess" Mastercraft calls theirs a "Square Head" Fuller Calls theirs "Genuine Robertson" Picquic calls theirs "Robertson" Task calls theirs "Robertson®" From my experience the only Robertson bits to use in a power drill are the Task bits (available almost...

I'm a hobbyist too and I can get access to my local truck based tool dealer every second Wednesday at my mechanic's shop if I'm there before 8am. That in consideration, almost all the tools in my box can be returned for warranty replacement any time between 7am and 9:30pm (12 to 5 on Sundays)...

I'm pumped that you posted these. I was looking for a Milwaukee M18 kit from Santa but he got talked into the Rigid X4 setup at the store. The guarantee intrigues me so I decided to run with it. I'm glad you're having good luck with the impact. Makes me feel good about my decision

Wow, I dub thee "THE MANGHANGLER" Since it's evident you work on some big stuff the pic begs the question.. what have you got that 1/4 breaker for? Even better, why do 1/4 breakers even exist?

I've got a 1 gallon compressor/tank that is just great when I want to do some work with the brad nailer in the house or in some far flung corner of the yard. To be honest that's all it will run, but for the $20 it cost, it doesnt owe me any money

nehog's got some really good points. There's a lot to consider with pumps and especially pump backups... like how are they going to charge, how does your pump know to switch from one source to another, what type of alert do you set for youself to know that it's running on battery (think, if your...

Leatherman Micra Question for my fellow NB'er on here: I've often thought I'd like to have an OTF auto for the novelty of it but don't you end up feeling a little self conscious? I can't imagine whipping out a tactical dagger to help a coworker open up a clamshell package, open up a ups...

I was just guessing.. quick google shows that it's actually a: E.C. STEARNS Patent hollow auger complete with depth stop <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IVxo4qxq8jc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> You're right.. it goes on a hand drill and I'm...

Pencil sharpener

12V Circuit Tester (I'm with whitetrash1.. its the only SO tool I own too :-))

Does that ever look great!

Ha ha ha.. too good.. I'm guessing you found the link in my sig. Seriously.. of the 50+ toolboxes in our plant there isn't a cross peen hammer in any of them... lots of ball peens, engineers hammers, and my favourite, a 20lb sledge on a 4 foot handle in each welding bay :shocking: I can see...

OK, I just read this from start to finish and see lots of toolbox drawer shots with Cross Peen Engineer's Hammers in them. For the life of me I can't imagine a relatively "modern" usuage for the cross peen face though they seem to still be available in nearly every hardware store I visit. The...

.......wait.. is this a child's plastic toy or... uh.. a personal massager.. why do I think you mean a lady's toy... :wtf:

I carry a 1/4M to 3/8F adapter in my bike tool roll so I can go all the way up to 19mm using nothing more than a 1/4 T handle and a 6" extension.

Ha, out on my deck jigsawing a sink hole in a piece of coutertop today 'cause it was too sunny and nice to make a sawdust mess in the kitchen. -15C (5F) :lol:

Amen to that.. especially when it's gotten bad enough that you're frenkenstein stiching or riveting panels back together... I've seen enduro cars with 5 and 6 layer thick front and rear quarters... cut rivet, repeat.. LOL!

Over the years I've had a chance to race and wrench out of bunch of different pits at an amateur level. During this time I've come across some pretty neat tricks that were either specific to racing or at least had some pretty good racing practicality. Bundling tools by job. Got a spare...
