I've had an Everlast plasma cutter and now have a Hypertherm. Without a doubt, the Hypertherm is a much superior machine. Cleaner cuts, the consumables last much longer and Hypertherm will stand behind their product. And, as said earlier, the Hypertherm machines have great resale values.

As said previously, the 1/12th increments are for calculating boardfeet.

I've had really good service from Proto. The last time I had wrenches calibrated, I sent them a 1/2" and a 1/4" wrench. I did not have a case for the 1/4" wrench, so I put a note in the package asking if I could purchase one. When the wrenches returned from calibration, Proto CS included a...

I've had good luck buying used Proto torque wrenches from ebay and sending them to Proto for calibration ($15 or so).

Go over to Weldingweb and read about Everlast. I personally would stick with Hobart for a good starter welder. For about $70 more than the Everlast, you could get this: http://www.hobartweldshop.com/factory-refurbished-hobart-handler-140-mig-wire-welder/

Yes, they are. I just bought 1/4" and 3/8" semi sets in both metric and SAE and all were made in Taiwan. The finish on them is outstanding.

Great find. That Dunlap box is my favorite too.

I ordered the extended dykes. Let's see if they come in.

You guys are such tool snobs. I have it on good authority that these are actually made Snap On. Everything you read on the internet is true, right? :)

This is what I have: http://www.cripedistributing.com/crescent-crw17-2-pc-1-4-3-8-roto-ratchet-set.html Crescent brand, made in Taiwan and identical to the Gearwrench brand.

The "Premium" hoses with the lifetime warranty are the ones that I like. I waited until they were on sale and replaced all of my hoses with them. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-all-rubber-garden-hose-5-8-in-x/p-043W088518011003P?prdNo=5&blockNo=5&blockType=G5

It is proportional and not overly thick.

I have both the standard and the flex head Armstrongs in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 and love them to death. 88 teeth are more than adequate, the ratchets are tough as nails and I like the handle shapes better than Gearwrench.

I have pieced together a made-in-USA Armstrong/Allen/KD set from Cripe for $1.50-$3.00 per socket. Great deal. Here is a link to one of them: http://www.cripedistributing.com/armstrong-46-619a-19mm-3-8-drive-impact-socket-6pt-usa.html

That flex ratchet is awesome. I've never seen one of those.

I've had a 5450XLBL for years and love it. The post earlier about it getting smoother with use is absolutely true.

The 3/4" wrench is 5 1/2", tip to tip.

Looks good!

I have the Husky version of these and have been happy with them. Like you, I only use them once in a blue moon.
