    How do I stop losing stuff to lightning storms?

    I'm in the southern TC metro area..... My lights blinked 2 or 3 times the other night when the big storms came through but luckily we never lost power. I do have a generator that I can use for full house backup but it's NOT a true "backup generator" with automatic transfer switch. I have to...

    YouTube Tool Reviews

    I was ABOM subscriber. I watched every video that he put out for many years. Before he moved into his new shop he started really milking the content. I couldn't handle the multi-part videos that he makes. Instead of doing one project per video, he'll make 4 (or more, for example) videos out...

    For an 8" bench grinder with wire wheel... what's the minimum amperage you'd look for in a quality older unit?

    lol Why? Because it's a "Harbor Freight" tool, or because it doesn't meet your needs? To be clear, I did say the next time I find myself in need of a bench grinder... I'm not in the commercial lawn care business (people who sharpen lawn mower blades every day) I'm also not a professional TIG...

    angle grinder what do I need

    I bought this grinder last month for $69.99. I am very impresses with it so far. Lot's of power and it runs VERY smooth.... Well, it's much smoother than my previous HF angle grinder, anyway. lol. It comes with 3 guards for 3 different size grinding wheels. I typically do use guards unless...

    Brand new USA made drill press

    Are you sure Buffalo is even USA made? I had some ultra cheap Buffalo hand tools back in the mid 1980's and they were poorest quality foreign made garbage known to man. I searched for "new buffalo drill press" on google and couldn't find anything. Can you post a link to the drill press in...

    Safety-pin style wrench organizer?

    Buy an NHRA pit pass holder and it comes with a giant safety pin. They've been selling these for decades. The "pin" itself is roughly 4" wide. Is this what you're looking for? https://nitromall.com/products/nhranv0571-nhra-pitpass-holder

    any opinions on Xtool vs Autel Scanners?

    The Thinkcar 689 and 689BT are the only (that I've heard of) full bidirectional control scan tools that comes with free lifetime updates. This is a big deal in the scan tool world (in my opinion, anyway) as it will set a new standard for the industry to eventually end paid subscriptions. It may...

    Wrong fuel put in rental machine?

    It does happen.... and that customer gets to pat for their mistake, too. All rental machines get inspected, serviced (washed, if necessary) and test ran between customers. The guys in the shop WILL figure out if the wrong fuel was poured into the tank. Generally, on commercial job sites with...

    I am in the exact same boat as you.... I KNOW of at least 2 rolls of red electrical tape here at my place and there is probably more. But I certainly wouldn't call that "stupidity". Maybe: Careless Unorganized Impatient Hoarder Impulse buyer OCD Stockpiling Etc... But not stupidity. Not in...

    Electrical tape stupidity

    "Electrical Tape Stupidity" If having more than one roll of electrical tape (in this case 3 or 4 rolls) is "Stupidity" then I must keep reminding myself to never publicly admit on this forum how many rolls I currently own. I'd hate to embarrass myself. lolol....

    What do you guys use vise grips for these days?

    What do you guys use vise grips for THESE DAYS? I use them for the same reasons today that I used them for 20 or 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. There are 1001 uses for vise grips (probably more) and I seem to find those uses on a regular basis. As a general rule of thumb, I am a pliers...

    Very cool. The back story is just as important as the tools, themselves..... maybe even more important than the tools.
