    Double box extra long wrenches?

    Hi all, I’m looking for some extra long box wrenches for leverage. I’m thinking I either want one or two sets. If I get one set, it’ll be plain box on one side and flex ratcheting on the other side. If I get two sets, it’ll be one set with at least one side plain box, and the other set with at...

    Feeler gauges with finer granularity?

    Hi all, Checking my valves, I’m trying to decide which shims to swap. The feeler gauges I have go in increments of .001”. So I have a .010”, .011”, .012” etc. In metric that’s .254, .279, .305. Current issues with my feelers: when I mic them, some are close, some are off by more than I...

    Quality rubber grommets?

    Hi all, I’m looking for high quality rubber grommets to use mostly on dirt bikes. Sometimes I have to cut a hole in plastic and run a wire through it. I’m trying to avoid the cheap natural rubber assortments I’m seeing so much of. Looking at sites like zoro and grainger they sell...

    Do these hose clamp pliers look right?

    Knipex brand... seems the edges on one side do not touch and are not parallel. On the side they don’t touch, one side has a bit of a tooth to it.

    Which is louder, M12 Fuel Ratchet or Aircat 800 air ratchet?

    I just ordered an air compressor! I’m thinking about getting an air ratchet as I love my Milwaukee fuel m12 battery ratchet. I like it won’t strip bolts too easy or go too fast. Since I have neighbors really close by I’m trying to keep the noise down. What’s the quieter 3/8 ratchet between those...

    Best set of bolt hole brushes?

    Ok, so my google fu is super weak here. Sometimes when I remove a bolt, I see a circle/semicircle of metal either come with the bolt or stay in the hole. Sometimes the hole itself has gunk in it (rust, dirt, threadlock, anti-sieze, etc). I'm looking for a set of handheld brushes to clean out...

    Jacking up a motorcycle on vinyl flooring?

    Hi, I have the rubber coin flooring in my garage. I noticed my 350 lbs motorcycle kickstand (which is not the most narrow kickstand out there) will dent the floor at least temporarily. I put a metal baking sheet under it and hopefully that will fix that problem. The jack with a motorcycle...

    Best garage floor surface protector?

    Ideally I’m looking for something: - Non-permanent - Waterproof - Strong enough to put down a 350lbs motorcycle kickstand and not pierce it. - Strong enough to jack up a motorcycle or maybe truck. I could use additional sheets or plates to support the jack and jack stands if needed. I’ve...

    Smell free sprays/ideas?

    Hi everyone. I’m moving to a place where I’ll have a tiny 1 car garage where I can work on my dirt bikes and maybe truck. It’s a place where the neighbors may complain just about the sight of a dirt bike (!!) let alone the smell of fuel, brake kleen, etc. The complaints would stem from an...

    Replacement little screwdrivers?

    I have these screwdrivers by Husky that are 4.5” or less and 1/8” quoted blade size (actual size slightly larger) and smaller for the other one. Stubby screwdrivers are easy to find but usually the blade is too short compared to these. These are awesome for working in tight spaces on a...

    What *OIL* does Snap On use in their ratchets?

    Hey, I have an FL72 and an F72 1/4 ratchet. One is short handle and one is long handle. The short handle one is way smoother. I cracked them both open and noticed they actually both have oil in them. I tried greasing the FL72 with PTFE grease and it's still noticeably less smooth than the F72...

    Help with socket rails needed!

    Short version: GearWrench rails vs VIM Magrail TL rails in a scenario where sockets are either used out of an unmoving/big tool chest, or sometimes also taken from that tool chest and transported to another site at which to work? Is the crazy strong magnet in the Magrail TL a big issue in this...
