Something that I didn't know until recently is that Oregon has a massive line of power equipment parts. Saw chain & bars is what they're known for but just a fraction of what they do.

Take the battery apart & replace the bad cells. They are usually 18650's in series. Or send it off for repair.

Fluid Film, its pretty sticky stuff.

If you have older Craftsman raised panel wrenches & need replacements or sizes to round out the set, used USA-made on eBay is the way to go IMO.

My non-reversible Gearwrenches came with the 8mm wrench having a 9mm ratcheting insert. So the open end was 8 & the ratcheting end was 9.

Just answering the OP's question in post #24

My 20-year-old Snap On punches/chisels are identical to my 2-year-old Mayhews, right done to the font on the lettering.

Once upon a time, NAPA branded tools were made by Armstrong & high-quality USA-made. The Carlyle stuff they sell today is so so & imported junk just like every other parts store is selling. NAPA is a shell of what it once was, they have adapted to compete with the discount auto parts stores &...

The fact is that sockets do crack & break. Tekton warranty is easy peasy, GP not soo much. I have a lot of GP sets & will NEVER buy another one. Nothing worse than having to buy replacements because the warranty is such a pain & basically nonexistent.

That stack of three is relatively new judging by the tubular locks. The last new Snap-on box I purchased was in 2007 & they were still using wafer locks. The closest current equivalent would be the "heritage series" Bottom box KRA4813 MSRP $2995 Mid box KRA4860...

Box left the middle of nowhere Alaska heading to @AA/FC on Thursday & tracking shows it moving thru the USPS system.

Homedepot lists it for $23 per gallon.

Never had it do that. I use it until it quits working. I had a bucket that was so weak I had to leave stuff in it for 4 or 5 days to work its magic. Contaminated is the only thing I can think of. Did you try washing that rainbow off?

Currently, it is a USPS medium flat rate box. 11"X6"X9" & pretty well full. $14.25 commercial rate, $16.10 at USPS.com or in-person & ships anywhere in the USA.

@AA/FC, PM sent.

If all you are going to do is upholstery, there are few electric options that seem more affordable. If you want it to double duty for wood working, the pneumatic is probably the way to go.

Received the box, got what I wanted & added some things. Who wants it next?

For what you are describing I would try the PBW, it really works well for tough stains on stainless with near-zero scrubbing, it just requires soaking. The first time I used it I thought I was dreaming, it really works that well. Use 4oz per gallon of hot water & let soak overnight. What do...

Bar Keepers Friend [Oxalic acid] is wonderful on stainless when combined with a 3M scrub pad & a little water. Back when I was homebrewing a lot this is all I used on my 25-gallon brew pot. It will remove the most stubborn of stains with a little elbow grease. Do not use anything ferrous...
