    Astro 1/2" Nano sockets

    It’s not so much the actual diameter, but the more sudden change to the larger diameter. If the fastener is near an obstruction. The nano socket might not fit where a regular one would. The shoulder would get in the way where a more slight taper would fit.

    Astro 1/2" Nano sockets

    The half inch have been handy in tight spots with a stubby impact. However, I have found that they sometimes lack the mass to break loose some fasteners that a standard or deep well will take right off. For me their large diameter has gotten in the way more than their short size has helped. I...

    I needed a flashlight for work. This one kept coming up in my research for best bang for the buck. It's been working great for my needs for the past several days. $23 total for a light with built in USB C charger, 18650 battery, charging cable, and magnetic base cap. I wanted a budget option...

    Best way to get old dog pee off concrete?

    OdoBan is cheap and widely available. It's worth a shot as you can dilute it down for general cleaning duties. I've heard good things about Nature's Miracle, but have never tried it. A buddy in the business swears by Sha-Zyme

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    SAE is losing ground, but it's certainly not dead. I agree with you though about separating them. I don't need metric getting in my way at work and SAE is pretty much useless on working on my cars.

    Wright Tools Disappointment (Transforms to Respect)

    Rust you say? I also work in water and here's the shop's torque wrenches---not that anyone else there knows how to use one... I keep my personal hand tools (including torque wrench) locked up in the office. Tekton and Carlye have served me well. I might would look at Icon if I needed...

    Generator Selection and Install

    I'm looking at doing this as well. I'm currently shopping for the parts needed. One thing that might be an issue is the possibly overloading the neutral on a multiple branch circuit if you have one. I went with a 4500 peak 3250 running watts inverter with gas or propane. It's not easy, but...

    Saw a 7mm wrench for sale. Where would you use one?

    I don't remember if it was my father's 80's Nissan or his 90's Buick that I needed a 7mm for a blower motor under the dash.

    Do I need to use a ground/neutral bonding plug on my generator?

    Thanks for the advise. If I had the time I would have definitely installed an inlet and used the TT30, but I've been trying to get ahead at work and help others prepare for the ice that's coming in a few hours. Through the window it will be for a few hours. The correct procedures will be...

    Do I need to use a ground/neutral bonding plug on my generator?

    I have a floating neutral 120 generator. I do not plan to hook it to my house panel at this time. I was planning on running two 12 gauge extension cords through a window to power my fridge/microwave and my tv/router during the incoming ice storm. Do I need a grounding plug? Can I make my own...

    HF oddest size skip set

    I guess it's a budget set made with the Asian car market it mind. My Toyota uses 14 and 19 a lot while my Dodge demands 13 and 18. My small set to carry in the trunk of the Toyota is worthless in the Dodge.
