    Need Knipex snap ring plier set. Any Cyber Monday deals?

    fcpeuro has it for $176, I've no idea if that is a good buy. Fcpeuro is a reputable parts vendor.

    Amazon Warehouse Deals

    Thanks LG, you were absolutely correct. Amazon sent an Alemite B6783, even though the description showed the part number as B6703 (that would have been a 12" flexible hose with coupler). The B6783 I received does indeed match the picture, a nice piece of Made In USA goodness (that I never knew I...

    Why do Metric socket sets skip some sizes?

    Used both last weekend replacing a brake line on a 2001 Mercedes e320. Tube nut is 11mm and the bleeder is 9mm. Oops - I replied too fast, you are commenting on sockets, and my example was wrenches. Sorry!

    Malco Eagle Grip pliers

    Nicely done - great reasoning. These are gorgeous, any chance you could post a pic of the other side of them? Also, any differences you'd note between the two sizes? Either one feel better to you?

    Anyone Else still Brushing Polyurethane?

    I've used Purdy 144380430 White Bristle Series Sprig Flat Trim Paint Brush, 3 inch several times and have no complaints, but I'm certainly no expert at this. Same Minwax solvent based polyurethane.

    Snap on low amp clamp

    Yes, it is rated from DC to 50kHz. I've been quite impressed by mine, nice quality.

    Another Hein Werner O'Boy Question

    No, you'll regret using a pipe wrench, get a pin wrench. I used a small c clamp to hold the pin on mine engaged, while using a cheater pipe to generate enough torque on my O'Boy. Just my opinion, but I know I'd be angry at myself if I chewed it up with a pipe wrench. My pin wrench came from...

    Vessel "Phillips" screwdrivers

    Those red handled ones are the 930 series, I really like them. They have a nice heft, the feel is total quality.

    How do you use a Air Filter Regulator Combo?

    Yes - this is the issue. The regulator absolutely has an IN and an OUT. The OUT pressure is balanced against a diaphragm and (adjustable) spring, and allows air from the IN to pass as necessary. You can't connect it backwards and expect it to function.

    Which Vessel Striking Cap Screwdriver?

    Replaceable tips certainly are a consideration, but a 980 will get into places an impact driver can't. There's an application for each of them, best to have both.

    Which Vessel Striking Cap Screwdriver?

    Pizza is right on the money. The 930 has a wonderful feel to it, nice heavy weight and balance. The 980 is great when you need the impact feature, but otherwise the 930 wins hands down. I bought a 930 in the #2x100 size to try out. The Jawsfit is great, and the fit is snug into a screw head...

    need help please

    Re: Vintage Snap-On toolbox If you can remove the chrome pieces then this advice might help: I had a similar situation with a Gerstner box I inherited from my brother. It had been in a damp location for many years and the nickel plated corner pieces, rear hinge assemblies, and two large side...

    Lincoln Squarewave 355 with cooler, good for a beginner TIG?

    That hasn't been my experience. It isn't like a motor that starts up with Locked Rotor Amps, the tig starts with very little load on the transformer secondaries. No significant caps that I'm aware of. Circuit breakers are pretty slow - obviously not like heaters on a proper motor...
