    Your Opinion on a Better Tool to R/R Washing Machine Hose Lines?

    Looks like you would do your hoses a favor if you used a right angle adapter. I use this kind that has wings on the nuts and requires no tools: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RL1SRTN/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Stainless Steel Tool Box Work Surface

    Any gauge you want if it's just a cover. If it will be a work surface it must be thick enough to not stretch at impact points, or it will expand and bubble up in spots and never be close to flat. If you want it thick enough for a work surface I would not go less than 13 gauge (0.093"). Typical...

    I selected this blade for cutting a soft steel hinge with my dewalt 20v oscillating tool. NO OTHER type of tool would fit my space restrictions (and I am the poster boy for Dremel fiber reinforced abrasive wheels). The Bosch carbide tipped blade worked perfectly...

    Rust converter that turns the metal black?

    I may have missed it, but I did not see anyone recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001000VS0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I have used it on rusty pickup bed areas and it is amazing. Turns the rust to a thick black polymer like material that wears well even without paint over it.
