I dunno where you're getting those prices but that makes them reasonable and I'd go for it -- whichever size you prefer Otherwise I'm satisfied with my 72" Homak, but it's not as sturdy as tool truck brands. I'd say I'm "light commercial" use as probably half my business right now is auto...

I think I got most of my slings from MSC

Similar path for me....but I have the Grizzly 5x6" swivel head bandsaw I now use for miter cuts whenever possible, that way the trusty 7x12" stays at 90 The Grizzly is small enough I just shove it against the wall when not in use. Granted, capacity ain't great, especially when the head is...

I remember I got mine at the freight terminal, too. This was long ago and all I had was a homebrew pickup bed trailer behind my full-size Bronco...anyway the press wasn't loaded well and I didn't have quite enough tongue weight -- drove home with lots of fishtailing. Fortunately it was more...

Sooo...maybe this is info you don't want to provide, either -- and thats ok, I know how easily Squirrel! threads go, but I guess I've got two questions, but of course only answer them if you think it won't hijack: 1) do you have links to models you're considering? 2) why does it have to be...

^^^something I've found interesting...it does seem my work boots which are supposedly "anti-slip" or whatever the industry calls it grip the snowy, bare painted beds in my trucks way better than "regular" shoes. If I wear my Merrell "tennis shoes" every second in a pickup bed with snow is like...

Opinions don't matter, but if they did...I think it's cool!

Ok I was wrong on the part #! I had apparently interpreted an internal motor gear to be what I needed! Still, a bit odd because on my first call they said it'd be available 12/14, and today they said it doesn't register as a good part # Regardless, they transferred me to tech support and this...

[VALLEY GIRL VOICE] Pfft.....you are like sooooo not credible.....that is not a Snap-On or OhhTeeSee.....like, that is soooooooo ratchet [/VALLEY GIRL VOICE]

Interesting approach....never thought of that. I always envisioned could do something similar (but larger/more elaborate) for decking heads or planing EM's on a mill table. Anyway, for the press idea grab a few import 2-4-6 blocks and some graded 5/8-11 bolts. Should be able to be made to work...

Adding this thread for a crimper holder design: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=466376

The machining on my HF set seemed solid (shrug)....but I do have a now-obsolete item # The design is such that it's hard to **** it up, but yeah, the Chinese could manage. This particular pilot bearing was STUBBORN, and all the needles were long gone, which made me even more worried the entire...

Also if you don't wear a headlamp the old school M12 stick light is actually a pretty good trouble light. You must fit a camera magnet to the 1/4-20 bung in the back, but it's a simple mod that's WELL worth it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVGK9S4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I use a 2115 headlamp...

The M12 dud: the "Dustbuster" vac. Don't waste your time or $

I have a HF 95987 (NLA). I grabbed it 4 years ago at local pawn for $30, unused. I was fighting a stubborn pilot bearing on an '88 Ranger 2.3 today, and the puller was awesome. I actually had to fit the slide weight from my OTC to get the bearing to move (visible in pic - supplied shiny weight...

I also keep the M12 screwdriver on my cart loaded up w a P2 bit. Nice for tearing down a dash or interior panels, and the clutch can be set really light so you don't strip small screws/plasti-screws during reassembly

Also the mini bandsaw can be cool for drama free one hand cuts in small stock

The die grinders are great. The ratchets are handy. I just got the extended reach 3/8" and very impressed, but also the head is HUGE and access can be an issue. The 3" cutoff is great during custom builds for cutting bolts. I've even cut u-bolts with it -- less likely to get away from you and...
