I own their UD thin metric wrench set 8 mm to 19 mm, their 1B wrench set thats like 8 mm to 32 mm, their 10 mm to 32 mm 1/2 drive socket set, a few of their pullers, 1/2 ratchet, their chisel driver screwdriver set, their 150mm parallel vise (its a rebranded italian FZA vise). So I feel like I...

The Gedore tools warranty is just a manufacturer defect one. It's not the same level as some of the american manufacturers that warranty the tool for life. I warrantied a brand new Gedore socket because the chrome was peeling off of it and I was not gonna slice my finger on a brand new socket...

I used to be a fan of Gearwrench when it was mostly made in Taiwan and generally just for not often used tools. I prefer USA made tools for my most used and bought mostly Armstrong. Then Apex bought and shuttered Armstrong and now when you warranty armstrong stuff, it gets replaced by chinese...

Theres some discussion of this on forum practical machinist. The overall opinion there was drill presses are drill presses, don't use them to for milling as the horizontal pressure will cause stress on the bearings they were not intended to deal with. Check out the practical machinist forum and...

Its not only brushless, its motor-less too...

Not their intended use but they've found a following in certain types of airguns to lock the stock to the action due to the spring vibration those types of guns produce. The downside of them is they're fairly thick, and per instructions require a metal surface to be up against meaning in that...

Archaeological excavation work uses them alot. Could we use a regular tape? sure but for some reason its always been folding rules since I was trained.

Nice job walking away. Especially in Arizona, rust??? I bet theres some gorgeous hidden gems preserved from that dry weather of yours.

Unfortunately I've tried to contact Oldironowner twice over the past 6 something months about one of the replacement control arms he had posted pics of and never received a response. Would love to be able to buy one of them. I guess maybe he's not been checking his messages or maybe isn't...

On the Cox Reel, I'll also add that their customer service is top notch. I was having some issues with mine rewinding and we did several back and forth emails, they had me take video of it. I ended up just sending it back in for repair then attempting repair myself but they really went out of...

I've no idea if you can get a comparable replacement but since you said the physical locations are all pretty far from you, you'll want to contact Stanley who is the new owner of Craftsman. Fingers crossed they can help you out.

I don't understand buying speciality tools for problems you don't have. If you've already got the basics from working on your old cherokee, leave it at that. Buy specialty tools when you come across the problem. Stick to just filling out basic tools that will apply to any/every car like a full...

Just use patience and then move extremely fast. I have 3 drill presses. 2 standing and 1 bench top. The most expensive cost me 100 bucks (the bench top), it has no extras and was my first purchase. One of my standing has a vari slo and cost 80 bucks (came out of san diego area), the other...

Its funny, I saw that very same one for sale. It was in Arcadia. The price put me off especially for only 1/2 hp motor instead of the 3/4, and no desirable extras like an MSA or vari slow etc. Otherwise it looks in decent shape. Hope it works out well for you! The AX45 will work. I've never...

Don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but those are Fein in name, not in quality. Those are their cheap chinese models unfortunately. They do make some terrific grinders, just not that model.

It's a discussion forum, I'm trying to flesh out the subject matter in order to obtain more knowledge and information on the topic. Ryan has reasons for posting the material he posts; like this is really interesting to me, or this is a unique take on a technology that others may be interested...

I'm just trying to understand the point of the post. "chinese factory produces garbage" isn't exactly new. Neither is being able to take something apart, re-engineer it (remove the time saving/money saving economy aspects of it) and creating a better product because you've spent man hours that...

Wilton the vise maker?

A temperature adjusting quality made Hakko can be had for a mere 45 bucks. Why would anyone buy something that is dangerous and poorly made in its place? Just like the Uni-T 61C the video creator is using. It is widely reviewed as a 'better build quality' chinese meter but its no Fluke, Bremen...
