    Mac air hammer

    What's anybody know about the Mac air hammers? Going tomorrow to look at the one pictured below, listed on local CL. Are they reliable, better or worse than others? Price is right, includes some chisels etc., just wondered what the general opinion of them is. Thanks in advance for any...

    Unsolicited feedback for 'Skin'

    Bought an item from Skin, per his listing in the Classifieds. Sent the money via PP last night, he shipped it today. On top of that, he even sprayed the wrenches with a light coat of WD-40 to combat the miserable humidity we've been enjoying lately. My previous purchase from him was handled...

    Small score today

    Had a little time between jobs today, so I stopped at the local Habitat Restore. A little digging turned up the following: 22 Cornwell impacts (most 3/8" drive, + 3 1/4" drive magnetic drivers), a 7/16" Cornwell wrench, and a wrench for the O/A torches. Put it all on the counter and asked the...

    Metal files

    OP, another option to consider is getting your existing files sharpened. A guy in our woodworking club sent several to the folks listed in the link below - he brought them to our meeting and I was very impressed with the results. They claim the files are often better than new...

    220 to 110?

    Depends on the size of the motor...some can be switched, some can't. For the most part, anything above 2hp usually can't be switched. The data plate on the motor will tell you - look for the voltage rating, if it's listed as 115/230, it can be switched. If you see only one number, you're...

    What's the skinny on Williams tools?

    I know they're owned by Snap On, I know they are generally very well regarded as good tools. What I don't know is what the target is, i.e. are they intended to be a lower-line/less costly line for Snap On? From what I hear of the quality, that theory doesn't make sense. Or maybe it's a line...

    Champion Drill Bits - Dream or Nightmare?!

    I had a dream last night about a set of Matco wrenches that are currently listed in the Classified forum...and in my dream, they were the oddest wrenches you can possibly imagine, with huge, wide, misshapen handles. Still, it was enough to convince me to buy them this morning....sadly, when I...

    GFI's in series?

    Working on a kitchen for a customer the other day - he had installed 3 GFI recepticles in series, evidently not realizing that the first would protect everything downstream. Intuitively, this seems to me like it could/would cause problems, but I don't know if that's really true. Seems to be...

    Browne and Sharpe 8 pc Drive Punch Set - $11.59 at Amazon

    How did i do? Chain saw

    Probably not worth enough to balance out your labor, but as a token of appreciation from a friend, you done real good. Good on him too!! If it's bigger'n you want, put a smaller bar on it! Easy to do, makes the saw more manageable, and you can always put the bigger bar & chain back on if needed.

    Bought 2 sets of S.O. wrenches. The 'signature required' delivery was a pain for me, but he wouldn't know that and I won't hold it against him. Others might consider requesting different delivery parameters. Overall, excellent seller - great service, great prices, easy to deal with.
