    I found an old vise, it closes perfectly but the main screw just scews out when trying to open the vise, what part is missing?

    Torque Test Channel - open-end wrench testing

    Nope. Open-end wrenches are angled to allow more access angles on obstructed fasteners. There is no official standard for which way to turn the open end of a combination wrench. If you paid attention to the video you would have seen a caption stating this.

    So everyone says get a Honda Mower...

    I had a Husqvarna with a Honda engine. I never did anything to it but change the oil and filter every two years and use ethanol-free gas. I never even drained the tank at the end of the season. The first start in the Spring took two pulls, after that it only needed one. That said, since...

    Digital Multi Meter-blown fuse question and need help.

    Never trust a no-name meter to meet its claimed specs. A Uni-T UT-210E is useful for checking current draw without breaking the circuit.

    Milwaukee or Stihl for battery powered chainsaw?

    Makita has been in the chainsaw business since 1991, when they bought a German company that had been making them since 1927. They have a bit of a leg up on DeWalt and Milwaukee.
