Cascade dishwashing powder (green box). It works well. I add evaporust when cleaning steel. I have tried numerous other things, (simple green, other brands of dishwashing soap, etc.). Strangely, I like Simple Green for hand (non-ultrasonic) cleaning, but it doesn't do much in my ultrasonic. I...

^^ Very cool---tell us more! Is it safe on Aluminum? Where do you purchase a small bottle to try? I'm in for one if I can get it.[/url]

I had a mixture of new and old Starrett tap wrenches of various sizes, as I thought they were the best when I bought them. Honestly I don't love the design---the 'piston-like' jaw doesn't give a lot of surface area on the tap, and the new ones have problems with hardening/temper (i.e. some are...

I'm in CA and have restored a lot of machines, including some at least as filthy as your South Bend (a Burr King that was near the exhaust of a grinder comes to mind). -I use a heated ultrasonic cleaner with Cascade dishwashing powder and Evaporust for everything that will fit in it. Don't ask...

Stainless cabinet on casters for $140 in Los Angeles. Mfg specs seem to say 1200lbs cap and USA-made. Grainier sells it for $3200: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/tls/d/south-gate-stainless-steel-cabinet-with/7419697502.html pics are weird so verify first… I think it’s this one...

^^And that marks the first time ever that my wife walked by while I was looking at GJ and said something looked awesome. Tell us more---how many hours went into it? Is it all steel? How'd you make the star at the top? Clearly you know what you're doing and have some nice tools.

I have a complete Wright 3/4" socket/ratchet/breakers/adapters set up to 2-1/4". But, when I need to go beyond my impact, I pull out a 3/4" Curtis Wright/Powerhawk Swench. Usually when I need 3/4", I need a breaker or a swench, not a ratchet. I don't think I've ever even used my Wright 3/4" rat.

I just noticed that Knipex makes some slip-on rubber jaw covers for 10" Cobras and PlierWrenches. -Does anyone have the list of which covers fit which models? I'd love to get some covers for my little 6" Cobras for example... -Has anyone tried the generic soft jaw covers available on Ebay and...

Can I have your friend?

WOW WOW WOW :rocker: I have restored a few tons of machinery over the years and am super compulsive about doing things right---this is probably the first time I've ever seen anyone machine a cast iron part out of steel where they matched the form perfectly to the original casting. Beautiful...

Not what you asked, but I'll say it anyways---I use snap ring pliers every now and then. I have a Channellock 927: https://channellock.com/product/927/ I have a lot of other knipex, but this one is one of my only Channellocks because it's nice to have one set that works for (pretty much) all...

You can get these LED strips from 48" to 64' long or more and they will display any color you choose and also *switch colors to the beat of music*. You can easily program to do many more complicated things too (custom colors, gradients where different parts of the strip show different colors...

Picquic. the handles are Canadian and the bits are made in Taiwan. They are the only non US/German tools I own, and I keep buying more because they truly are that good.

Read up and be Careful you don’t make a lightning rod. My dad found out the hard way (He lived).

Saw this today and thought of you all: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9986585/Man-close-call-metal-disc-breaks-power-tool-flies-face.html Looks like he had the guard on the grinder. Yikes.

^^Tell us more---who made this jack? What model? What year? I haven't seen one quite like that!

Assuming the part is steel and not hardened, a standard fix would be to chuck it into centers, add weld to build up the diameter, then re-machine the splines.

88 horses means your boat will move. It looks fantastic and I like the colors better than the original. Plan for some dry storage. I have a large 20MM ammo-can and a separate smaller dry storage on custom mounts I fab'ed in my 14' Lund--it's always full, and the mounts allow the storage cans to...
