    What do you use to remove tree sap from auto paint?

    I have been told that WD-40 did a great job at taking tree sap off. I have not had to try it, but I was told by several people it worked really well.

    Do any have a "Whitney punch"?

    Yeah. As a form HVAC guy, it was indispensable while putting up hanger strap with drive pins.

    Can someone help with my vise.

    I did manage to get the inside nut out. Surprisingly the pins on the side that hold the nut in the main body came out with very very little effort. I used a punch and a 2 pound hammer and it came out with little effort. I will get some more pictures posted tomorrow of them before and after I...

    Can someone help with my vise.

    So once I started using the jacks to separate the two pieces of the vise. I was really really surprised with how much pressure I had to apply to get the thing to move any. When it did finally pop, I almost crapped my pants and thought the jacks had exploded on me. I had so much pressure built...

    Can someone help with my vise.

    Update to the vise post. So I was given this vise by my aunt. She had told me that it had belonged to my grandfather. When I got it the thing had been sitting in their yard on a stump / bench that my late uncle had been using to hold the vise down, for what ever reason. He was a bit...

    Can someone help with my vise.

    Ok, so I finally got the vise apart. Long story but lets just say I have been using two 10 ton jacks to separate the jaws apart. So with a brief cleaning the only numbers I have found on it as far as dating might be concerned are the numbers stamped on the keyway. The stamping is 172. From...

    Tool for cutting a circle in sheet metal

    coming from a heating and air guy. Tin snips are the only way to go. These so called hole cutters sometimes work. You have to keep checking them every time you cut a hole because they never hold their adjustments worth a ****. Save your money and buy a set of midwest off set snip. You can...

    Who here is NOT a COO Snob?

    I do not worry about COO. I am also not a brand fan boy like some people are. I firmly do not believe that one or maybe two (depending on what fanboy clan your from), tool company's do or could make the best of every kind of tools on the market. There is a reason that all of these tool...

    I made these because I got tired of going back and forth with trays and strips and trying to find something that fit my box like i wanted. I am still not happy with them but, I don't think anyone is ever really happy with there socket organization.

    Layout for ductwork and register questions

    To address some of the questions and statements I have glanced at. A/C unit size is determined by heat generated in the building. So if you have a lot of people in the building with a lot of body heat you need a bigger unit. If you are in a shop and the equipment is making a lot of heat then...

    Makita LXT SDS-Plus Hammer Drills : which one?

    I don't have the hammer drill but from my understanding, all Makita tools will work with the new batteries. From what I have seen the older tools have a square notch in the slide that keeps the smaller batteries and the new larger batteries from working in them but you can file that notch down...

    1st welds

    Also I wanted to add that miller has a app that you can get for your phone. It helps with welder set up. You tell it what your welding and how thick of material what type of welding your doing either mig, tig or stick and it will give you your welder settings. Once again every operator is a...
