    Attached garage fire, ugh

    ^ correct. "spontaneous combustion" Having suffered second-degree burns over large areas of my body twice in this lifetime, my apprehension about fire should be understandable. I don't take chances if it involves potential of fire. Sometimes I'll drape a BLO-soaked rag over the top of the fence...

    Lock and Lube

    Maybe they took two weeks off! Who knows? I wouldn't expect them to respond on a weekend for sure. But the Fourth is a big deal for a lot of people, and summer is generally when people go on vacation.

    What is this toolbox for?

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/1887781955/film-storage-box-metal-8mm-film-storage slightly different, but I believe @cvairwerks is on the right track there

    Astro Pneumatic Tool Company

    ^ Does that model also have the plastic sleeve around the handle so your hand doesn't get frozen?

    Lock and Lube

    Thus far - as far as I know - they've been stellar. Particularly here with GJ members. Maybe they closed for a week for Fourth of July.

    Funny 1 star Amazon tool reviews

    ^ When my buddy put a socket on a bolt on a tracked excavator with his 3/4" drive breaker bar, he had to ask the vehicle owner where the pipe was. The only pipe the guy had was some two-inch water pipe - in 20 foot lengths. "Perfect!" my buddy said. He said he had to jump off the rig onto the...

    Broke my brand new tubing cutter

    Sure. Plastic tubing cutters for plastic tubing. Maybe they could try some plastic cutting wheels. GAH! Every time we see yet another rant thread about yet another newly-offshored Klein tool, it seems they slide down the ladder another rung. I guess this is the way of things if in order to stay...

    Who makes good flush cutters?

    "Machine screws" are fairly soft. Drywall screws - not so much.

    Attached garage fire, ugh

    I wish I had 25 feet. I can only go 8 feet out or I'm on the lawn.

    Broke my brand new tubing cutter

    Okay, fair enough Let me put it another way then: If half of the users treat their tools like I do mine, that thing is not going to withstand being tossed six feet into a tool box, which is usually how I put tools away when I carry them back into the garage. Some stuff goes in drawers, some...

    Broke my brand new tubing cutter

    Yes. Correct. The piece that broke appears to be made of plastic. It is the piece which holds the "debur" tool. And HERE is why it is exactly the wrong material to use: ^ That's it right there. And what does @Beerhippie do with that cutter when the job's done? Does he very carefully lay it...

    Attached garage fire, ugh

    I don't even put paper towels I've used with Gumout, Brake Cleaner, BLO, paint thinner or any other chemical into the trash can. They're tossed on a strip of crushed gravel 8 feet off the corner of the house. I just leave them there on the ground until trash day, then pick them up, put them in...

    Broke my brand new tubing cutter

    WTF? What are they thinking? What professional tradesman is going to use a plastic tubing cutter? Are they kidding?

    Okay, I'm confused. Who was the manufacturer? Trimont Manufacturing of Roxbury, Massachusetts? or? :unsure:

    Craftsman and Mac marked snap on date coded Lang

    Lang manufactured those ratcheting box wrenches for hundreds (if not thousands) of companies. Many of them private labeled. I've seen them on ebay with all manner of "brands" on them. (Lots of electrical supply houses did private label.) I'd posit Lang just set the dies up to include as much...
