If you have a pressure washer & an outside clean-out, a sewer jetter that hooks up to your pressure washer is an excellent option. A 100' unit can be had for less than $100. The nozzle has three jets facing backward that draw the line into the pipe & one facing forward that once at the clog eats...

What Davefr suggests looks like a good grease for the job. I would contact Baldor for an interval & amount for greasing as I suspect it is very sparingly. I can't imagine you want to pump a bunch of grease into an electric motor.

I have been a mechanic since the early 90s. Air tools or the cordless stuff is all about production/time savings. I use a 3/8" impact on just about everything. The air ratchet is slower, less powerful, & requires using it as a regular ratchet to break fasteners loose about half the time. I...

The 212 is the 3/8 equivalent of the 231, great impact & still made. I have 2 & been using them for years. Epstein's for a NOS USA-made Cresent wrench. I say all your air tools are brand name & worth overhauling. You may try some PB Blaster air tool conditioner first, especially if they have...

Mayhew has been making items for Snap-On for a long time, so if it looks identical I would say yes Mayhew made it.

I would check the Greenfield website for a distributor near you if you want to stick with Greenfield. That's a score. I really like that style of split dies.

McMaster Carr has grade 8 all thread, sold by the inch & foot, in coarse & fine. I suspect most of the industrial supply places have it.

That works for the smaller ones, you want fine thread. For the larger ones, you want to get fine thread hardened all thread.

Over the course of 3 years starting in 2015, I purchased the following OTC kits & have been happy with the quality. Pretty sure they are all foreign-made & I have used them quite a bit. 1183 bearing spreader/splitter set, 5 spreaders from small to real big 1180 10-ton push/pull set...

@consti2tion PM receiver & replied Thank you.

Same as a cross peen except the peen is in line with the handle instead of perpendicular. Hope that makes sense.

Those are pretty slick. I bet if SnapOn or similar made those & marketed them correctly, they would sell like hot cakes. As a guy who does heavy equipment often, I would buy them. Especially if that pin is up to the task. They are pretty much exactly my above suggestion of a crow's foot with a...

Those would work well as line wrenches. Stick a 6" extension in there & use just the extension as the handle. Basically in the same position they are sitting in the tray. I hope that makes sense.

A lot of guys don't have or seldom use breaker bars anymore. Mine don't get used often. A flare nut crows foot with a breaker bar attached is as close to a line wrench [flare nut] that you can get. So in your dystopian world where I had to choose just one or the other, I would choose the...

You must have never been interested in/been ona Cornwell truck/dealt with a Cornwell dealer. It truly is an odd experience. Very odd indeed. That is coming from a guy who has bought thousands & thousands of dollars worth of tools for myself & the company I work for. I would have gladly...

I agree about the dumbing down of society. I believe America is dumber than ever & I don't text AT ALL. I prefer to use the phone for it's originally designed purpose, talking. I live on Afognak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. No cell service ANYWHERE on the island & No landlines either...

I could be wrong & way off here, but I can't think of a single other tool company that has a website, but NO way & I do mean ZERO way to purchase tools online. They literally want you to fill out a form to find a dealer to purchase from, which is fine & shows that they support the franchisees. I...

Oddball taps are nice to have on hand. Winchester model 70 action screws are 1/4-32 UUF.
