Dumb question, what's the difference? I was not aware there was more then one style. I'm familiar with the 1/4 turn disks with the threaded plastic stud like these...

I'd been looking for one of these for a while, they're fairly hard to find. Found one on ebay, so I bought it. These were made in the pre Ideal years, S-K had some tools made by Danaher, these ratchets and some torque wrenches. Not sure what else off hand. It's really nothing more then the...

Finished this up tonight, I wanted a park style grill, but added some ideas from a "sportsman" cast iron grill. Story starts with the grill rack, Mom had bought a couple a few years ago for I forget what reason (possibly retro fitting or building a grill). For the last couple years I told her...

Last couple of weeks I've noted some things on ratchets I've had to mess with. Gearwrench 84 tooth long handle, oiled it previous week and went to use it where I had to pull pretty hard and the whole thing came apart. Apparently the snap rings they use dont like to be removed as they can...

Here are some new ratchets for those who may be interested and have not seen them. My dealer said that new ratchets (current production) will have a 40th anv. logo on the head. All are available with the soft grip as well. 24" fixed head 1/2 ratchet, the handle is thicker in diameter then...

Pressure washers, thoughts on a Dewalt/Simpson. Looking at picking one up soon. Main use is washing vehicles and other power equipment. I'm used to using industrial hot water machines from when I worked on trucks & equipment, so I'm sure anything smaller will be a bit of a let down, but I can...

https://www.jbtoolsales.com/gearwrench-3435-3-pc-socket-cap-set/ I have a set of these made for Napa a while back, but they dont list them anymore. They are/were a Danaher/Apex US made item which is why. They're quite handy in the right situation. I managed to explode the 1/4 drive piece...

Where is everybody getting various repair and replacement parts from? For instance if you loose an adapter for a Lisle funnel or need a replacement battery for a work light, where do you buy the part? I have bought items from JBtoolsales, though the last order I placed from them was...

https://www.tooltopia.com/fluke-amprobeirc-110.aspx Thinking about picking up this one. Not really a need per say, more of a curiosity to see what it'll do/how useful it would be. Any thoughts on this one or in thermal cameras general?

Here's some of my experience in buying tools and advise I've gotten and given over the last few years. Kinda long, but I was bored and thought it may be helpful to someone. I started buying tools (more seriously) at around 15-16, mainly as I had projects I wanted to get done and didnt want...

I bought these about one year ago from my Matco guy. They are a bit spendy at about 100$, but they are the best wheel weight pliers available, IMO. The boss has a couple others around and they are junk compared to these. I have yet to be pinched or unable to remove a weight with them. They...

I've been using a couple of the blue plastic bins for the air hammer bits & chisels I have, which is quite a few and they are not all that organized now. How & what are you all using to store your bits? I'm thinking about some sort of tray at the moment.

I've got the 1/4 square drive m12 impact 2461 (IIRC), have had it for at least four years, great tool. Recently I noticed the reverse speed is a bit slower then the forward speed. I didnt put a tach on it, but it does sound a bit labored in reverse A new motor is around 18$. From what I found...

Looking at picking up one of these sooner or later, Both look like they come from the same factory, though the Aircat has the chuck & rubber grip added. Both have the same stroke (2-11/16), BPM is similar as well. Aircat also has the 5300-A-T which looks to be a little different (more...

My box came with one of these trays, Quite handy for some things. https://store.snapon.com/Sliding-Trays-Sliding-Tray-P653005.aspx Does anyone know of an alternate source for these or a similar product? A deeper tray would be nice as well, but they dont offer one.. Likely not too had to...

https://www.tooltopia.com/astro-pneumatic-7404.aspx Saw these in the Matco flyer, looks like they'd be handy.

https://www.tooltopia.com/whiteside-utdii.aspx Thinking about one of these, seems like it may work well. Anyone have one?

https://store.snapon.com/Gravity-Fed-Portable-Pressure-Blast-Systems-System-Sandblast-Gravity-Feed-P636380.aspx Picked up one of these used from my Matco guy for about 100$. Pretty good shape, my compressor will somewhat keep up with it, per specs. I had dome some searching but didnt find...
