Every brand's $50 grinder is made in China and they're all about the same level of meh (except for Milwaukee, theirs is utter garbage). Fein's German-made tools are second to none. I have a couple of their high-end angle grinders and their oscillating multi-tool. The quality is fantastic and...

You can make an audio recording of the tool, bring the clip in Audacity and run a spectrum analysis. If the peaks are factors or mutiples of 333Hz, it's spinning at 20k RPM.

I have drawers of tools I've never used because I tried to guess what was going to be useful in the future. Buy what you need when you need it.

Huh. Looking at the ratchet in the OP is making me wonder why that isn't the default design for short-handle flex heads. It seems like that would save a lot of busted knuckles.

That cart is too fancy to have a brown cardboard box full of clamps inside. Maybe Snap-On will give you a deal on a red one. ;) On a more serious note, that looks like the cart of someone that gets **** done. I like it.

First: The link posted earlier is for Amazon Canada. Cutco scissors are about $160 USD. Just a couple days ago I was helping a neighbor pick grapes and he handed me a pair of Cutco scissors. They were absolutely a nice pair of scissors, and I commented that I'd like to get a pair to replace my...

10AWG with 105C insulation is good for 60 amps, especially on a short run like that.

It should be a serviceable tool. Hercules is about on par with Milwaukee; plenty of power, a bit low on refinement. I bought the Hercules 45 degree chamfer bit to use in my Makita router and it performed as well as any other bit I've used. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

If the fan can run on AC, running it on batteries is always going to use more electricity due to the losses in charging the batteries.

Do NOT buy the General Tools pin vise. It is garbage.

Does the ratchet not function normally after removing the piece of metal?

Those aren't stamped one letter at a time. If they made one like that, they made thousands.

Another vote for Capri or Olsa. You'll see Duratech pop up if you look on Amazon, but they're made of plain carbon steel rather than proper CRV and are best avoided.

Nah. Makita over-engineers and underrates their tools. I also firmly believe these mowers were designed with 21700 batteries in mind. They could have made it smaller and lighter, otherwise.

Have you looked into any of the ceramic stuff?

Pouch cells don't really offer any advantage over high capacity tabless/multi-tab 21700s. All the next gen batteries are based on tabless cylindrical cells.

Hard to argue with all these cold, hard facts.

My rotos are my go-to ratchets for 90% of the work I do. My only flex head is my long-handle 1/2 inch.

I built my own back before they were a commodity. These days you can get a perfectly functional welder for less than I spent on the chromium copper rod I used for my stinger tips. https://www.amazon.com/Seesii-11000mA-h-Upgraded-Enhanced-Adjustable/dp/B0BJ6FRPKR?tag=atomicindus08-20...
