    tekton hose reels 50% off

    Looks like it is "But one and get a second one for 50% off", meaning 50% off the price of the second one. Potentially a 25% total savings. I think.

    jimmyin3D Feedback Page

    Another A+ for jimmyin3D - I bought four Hazet wrenches, great with messaging, packing was perfect, and they look as good at my place as they did at his. No worries buying from him.

    What do I set my torque wrench to in this example?

    If you orient your torque wrench at right angles to your cheater, then the length of the cheater doesn't affect the applied torque. You must be careful when pulling on the torque wrench to pull perpendicular to the torque wrench. Set the torque wrench to the actual torque you desire. If you...

    Evaporust users: really long items?

    Here's something I tried on a vise body. I had nowhere near enough Evaporust, so I placed the vise body into a (totally watertight) poly bag and suspended the bag/vise in a 5 gallon pail of water. The pressure of the water makes the poly bag conform to the object inside, so now it takes much...

    Hein-Werner Model WS rebuild

    I use an Eagle pump oiler to fill mine, a little tedious but the long snout and the small diameter are perfect. My Hein-Werner is an O'Boy, a little smaller than your WS but very similar construction.

    Stick or oxy for cheap, versatile welding?

    Absolutely. Match your cable to your welder input current, conservative numbers would be 30a for 10ga, 40a for 8ga, and 50a for 6ga conductors.

    New Wilton 600S 6-inch machinist vise, under $1k

    That deal with the 500s damaged in shipping wasn’t that bad. OP paid $420.24 (plus tax) and received 500s with a broken Outer Ring 1011980. OP says Amazon offered $40 discount for shipping damage. A new 500s Outer Ring 1011980 is $53.50 from Wilton Parts or $60.99 from ereplacementparts. So for...

    shocker998md - Great Seller

    Listed as "new unused", actually has owners marks Watch out for a Snap On PPC210BK punch and chisel set that Ken Greve is selling. His ad stated “new unused” but five of the tools showed use, with one of them (the ppc812B chisel) having a damaged cutting edge from use. Most important, every one...

    Snap-On 208AFX 8 piece extension tray part number

    Tray is embossed PAK430463. I'm pretty sure you don't care about this, but the printed paperboard that goes around the tray is PAK256020. Hope that helps.

    Torque question - angle - other than engine components?

    Mercedes w210 (e class) steering rack mounting bolts. (Clunk had me convinced of a bad ball joint or tie rod end until I finally read the rack install instructions)

    Bendpak HD-14T 4-pos lift problems

    Wow - that baseplate in pic #1 looks awful. If you bolt it down not only do you stress the column by flattening the baseplate, but also add unnecessary strain on the floor anchor bolts trying to pull the baseplate into contact with the floor. Heat distortion when welding is pretty obvious, if a...

    Oscillating multitool recommendation

    I bought a Fein 350Q last summer. An amazing tool not only for what it will do, but for what it won't do as well. Will: cut door jambs literally flush to the floor, will also cut stainless steel trim and nails and anything else you can think of. Will not: get so hot you need a glove, make your...

    Best tool to cut up section of floorboard in bathroom

    anndel is 100% right on - this tool is perfect for this job. The Fein 350 is much easier to manipulate than a sawzall, and is way more capable than you'd expect.

    Vise Decision - Wilton Tradesman or Ridgid Forged?

    I'd be all over that Wilton 1755. I have a 1750 I bought from Grainger in the late 90's and it is always a joy to use.

    Are snap on sockets worth the money?

    Hmm, this simply isn't correct. Do your free body diagram. There are only two forces here: you applying and the nut resisting. Don't confuse "give" in the extensions as applying a force, it will (slightly) absorb some energy (force times distance) requiring (a very little) extra work from you...
