I've seen guys on here say they really only use or have metric tools, What I'm curious about is how you deal with things that dont use metric, same with bubba'd up car repairs/aftermarket stuff. On various shop projects; do you buy metric hardware? Most metric hardware, around here anyway, is...

Page 4 of the current flyer has the Wilton style indestructible hammers on sale at a pretty good price. Matco has the same ones, except they have an orange head...

Saw these the other day, looks like they'd be handy if there are a number of bends at different angles to make. https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/TBMIR/TUBE-BEND-MIRROR-ADAPTERS-15MM-WIDTH/

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BNSJEI2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bought one last weekend and it came today. Same as the OTC unit per reviews. Compared the price to other stores and it averages around 135$-ish.

With all the talk about impact or chrome sockets I decided to measure the wall thickness of some to see how they compare. I used 3/8 drive sockets for this. I dont have enough different brands of 1/2 drive to really compare them, but in general, 1/2 drive impact sockets are noticeably thicker...

I have this machine, Matco MA48, has a Nu-tec NPT48 torch, uses S45 consumables. https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/MA48/40A-PLASMA-CUT-1-2-110-240V/ I've got a couple hours on it, worked well until today. I was cutting thin aluminum diamond plate (1-1/16), first cut, about 9" went...

Ok so I bought a Streamlight switchblade light a couple weeks ago, Nice light overall, but so far it's managed to fall off what it was stuck to a couple of times already and crack the one lens. What is it with work lights and weak magnets??? Seems like just about all that are magnetic have...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MPQ8RBG/?coliid=I216S16SYEA64&colid=2NSE5U6ZP291O&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I have a couple of these suction guns, They work really well, but at times it'd be handy to have longer tubes to use. I have looked some but could not find replacement tubing for them. It...

Well I had a pawl explode into four pieces last fall (dont ask), the correct repair kit is a 12-990, not to be found anywhere. Another thread I had about making a 1/2 in 3/8 body ratchet one member put one of those kits in a 11-972, no issues. That got me thinking, so I dug out my brothers...

Matco finally got with the program and now have an 88 tooth 3/8 in 1/4 ratchet. #BFR58, there are kits available, dont have that number though. https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/BFR58/3-8-5-RATCHET-IN-1-4-BODY/ 5" overall length, so a bit longer then my FC936 & 40970 equivalent...

Couple weeks ago I had to replace a brake line, came up with this to be able to break the fitting loose without damaging anything. Stubby & angle wrenches werent doing it & no room for a longer wrench. I had not really used the Snap-on FZ-something adapters before (loaned them once), seemed...

Found a repair kit that will turn any of the 3/8 drive Craftsman/Matco/Allen/Kobalt/Napa/K-D/S-K/Armstrong/ete.. 36 tooth ratchets/torque wrenches in to a 1/2 drive ratchet. While not really a fine tooth ratchet, it is what it is. No one make one currently anyway (that I'm aware of). The...

Looking at possibly getting one in the near-ish future, mainly for the angle feature. I am somewhat familiar with the Snap-on version as the Boss has the 1/2 drive wrench. I am curious about the Matco wrench as to what is thought of it compared to the Snap-on. Thoughts...

When dealing with this particular sending unit lock ring does anyone know what tool works best to remove/install...

I know many tool boxes have a power drawer of one form or another in them, but wouldnt there be a problem with chargers overheating in the drawer if you had 3-4 going at once? Just curious. I've just got a power strip with magnets stuck to the side of my top box for all my chargers, works...

Any deals on these? I looked some and didnt find anything advertised. Looks like everyone has it for 199$ from what I found. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2125-20

Was at an automotive class tonight and the topic of fuel pumps came up, pressure testing and volume. I'm knowledgeable with hydraulics where you test pressure and oil flow from the pump (GPM/LPM), and was curious if there was an inline type flow meter available for testing fuel flow that was...

Picked up a set of the pink hard handle mini screwdrivers and picks with a small magnet & mirror today in a fold up pouch from the Snap-on guy (new for this area, S-O moved territory around a bit). Is this something recent or an NOS set? Here essentially the same thing...
