I agree with this. Carbon steel taps best for cleaning up threads or lighter duty threading (softer metal). High carbon taps are usually a duller grayish with lettering stamped into them. High Speed Steel (HSS) taps for cutting new threads in steel. HSS are very polished bright in...

I believe you can download the pdf manual at the bottom of the web liink and read about all the capabilities

I ordered the CM pro deep offset 12pc set last spring. The set had a double of one size and missing a size. Had to go through a little run around (three separate phone episodes) getting that corrected. Last phone call went to a separate sears tool division and the lady was nice about the...

I have ordered from "etooldirect" a couple times. One time I had trouble with their website as far as confirming orders. Woman on phone was very polite and apologized for the trouble. Shipping prompt and no real issues. Forgot to add... would have no issues ordering from them again.

Pretty handy........ if you have 4" clearance around every fastener you need to get on.

I have gone to a roofing supply center and bought some thin rubber sheeting. Works good.

Don't think they would use pure copper, work hardens to easily (meant to say cunifer?). CuNiFer is an alloy that works very well for brake lines. Picked up a roll at a local autozone recently. Think it is referred to as their "performance" brake line.

I have noticed on my CM raised panel wrench set I used at work had very sharp edge around the actual raised panel on some of the wrenches. Made getting stuck (larger) fasteners a little uncomfortable. Compared them to a friends older CM raised panels and the edges around the panel were made in...

I have bought from Super Bright LEDs and had no problems. I replaced my wife's dash lights in a Saturn. I tried the "regular" and they would have been ok for me, but I got some of the "high output" versions for her. They are somewhat brighter and the dimmer still works as it should. I...

Martin makes some expensive thin wrenches. http://www.tooltopia.com/martin-tools-sw11k.aspx http://www.tooltopia.com/martin-tools-ob7k.aspx

McMaster-Carr page 1164 has spine coupling hubs ordered one side at a time, also order same "letter size" coupling for the keyway side(prior page). mcmaster carr is very quick on getting things shipped out from what I have experienced.

Agree with this... I used to work at a place that used these to death. Taking them apart in not difficult to access the impact end. When the gun spins under no load, but stalls under load with no impacts, the anvil may be cracked where the hammers hit. We where able to order extra...

Very good chart!! Bet you could sell them. (Not to take away from this......General has a small ruler chart showing tap drill and fraction/decimal eq. Not as much info as chart in this post- no letter/wire gage eq. http://www.victornet.com/report/Reference-Table-by-General/1431.html...

Bought some of the "cu-ni-fer" at autozone. 3/16" x 25' for ~$42. Have not used it yet. Read where it can be hand bent & flared easier.

may have been referring to the plastic selector lever (fwd/rev)

I recently made a purchase from eToolDirect. Their website was not working correctly at the time and I could not tell if my purchase went through. They quickly e-mailed me and were helpful over the matter. Shipping was quick.

http://www.jtsmach.com/jtswebshop/measuring/PM513.asp That is a cheaper "style" protractor.... PEC is a good brand (not very expensive but well made)

Just bought a "dominator" large pick set (craigslist). Rubber handle says "molded in taiwan". Also received today a (sears order) craftsman pro 5pc prybar set (re-branded dominator) that say USA on the handles Tooltopia ha always been good place for me. Recently had an order of crowfoot set...
