    Titanium Hammers

    I've got one of the third generation solid titanium Stiletto hammers. I really like the light weight and reach. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/new-stiletto-tibone-3-hammer.431796/#post-8305516

    Tools that you thought were stupid to buy and now can’t live without.

    They're also great for removing those large horseshoe shaped C clips. Like on a CV axle bearing for example.

    Long flex-head ratchet: 3/8″ or 1/2″ drive?

    Personally I've found that a 3/8 flex about 12 inches long works best for me. 1/2 is often going to get the breaker bar or impact anyway. I've also got one of the cheap Chinese extendable 1/2 ratchets that come in handy, but I wouldn't make it my go to.

    Milwaukee Fails

    Milwaukee fishtape kept jamming. Milwaukee sent me a replacement and a label to send the defective one back for quality control examination. The replacement works fine. Milwaukee 1/2 90 tooth ratchet. It's a decent ratchet but the head is much bigger than it needs to be. It sits in a drawer...

    Looking for wood clamps

    I've been pleased with the offerings I've gotten from Harbor Freight. The aluminum bar clamps will twist if you really need to crank down on something, so a lot of people will cut of a scrap of wood to fit inside it to shore it up. They're much easier to use than pipe clamps. I've glued up...

    Any suggestion for barber tools?

    My wife has been cutting my hair with a ~$20 wahl clipper kit for several years. It was still made in USA then, but I don't know about know. A pair of scissors from Amazon was around 15 bucks and are still going strong. I did have to sharpen the blades on the clipper after a few years, but...

    Ever use an impact driver as an impact wrench or vice-versa, with adapters?

    Like others I have used an impact driver as a light duty impact wrench, but I have also used an impact wrench to drill. I was using Milwaukee ship augers which are designed for use with an impact.

    Home Depot is getting out of the tool repair business including Ridgid LSA repairs.

    My experience wasn't that they repaired the tool there. They shipped it to the repair location and then had it shipped back to them. This is while under warranty. They probably got tired of eating the cost of shipping.
