Ive used the tap/insert kit pictured on three different cylinders in my 5.4. Ive put over 100,000 miles on the first insert I did. I did them all myself including the rear passenger side. Make sure you have both valves closed as mentioned before. Id use grease on that tap too as it will...

Up until about a month ago, I would bash the HF 24" bar, now that I have one I take back anything bad I may have said. Actually, mine is the "Pro-Grade" version with the black oxide head but pretty similar. Ive given mine some beef and it takes it. I also keep a 15" Proto, which I also use...

This is mine and my dads box. Both have butcher block tops now.

We have Flukes at work for operators at our 4 tier hot press. I have an OEM brand from Autozone, $30. I have tested it against the fluke and they both read the exact same. Same as my coworkers Craftsman/extech.

I break hex sockets most frequently, I pretty much wear them out first though. Next would be pick, then Id say punches and chisels. The snap on scrapper/chisels I go through pretty often, but Im not nice to those. I wear out a good tape measure every 6-12 months. Otherwise its pretty random...

A little wd-40 on the handle and they clean right up. Superlube works wonders in the gearbox.

Looks nice. Ive got a frame under my masterforce box. Its the way to go!

May Pop, we all own our own multimeters, because that is how it has been, so the thought has never crossed my mind that it should be an issued item, but I will mention that to my superiors. The more I think about that, the more I agree. djb2, I think we might have to agree to disagree with...

All the boxes listed are very nice. They are all models I would consider upgrading to someday. I notice the Proto has a higher load rating on drawers. What about a Kennedy Maintenance Pro or Benchmark series...

I dont mind borrowing with my coworkers at all, they can use anything they want of mine, but they always ask and I do as well. I know I will get the tool back. I tell them to set it on top so I can put it where I want it, its never been a problem.

Pin. I dont like the idea of losing an impact socket when Im working near or above people.

pshking, hex/allen wrenches are on the list. Lockout/tagout and ppe are provided. May Pop, the starting pay is in the mid teens. After three months they get a dollar bump. After a year its usually better than that if they are real good. You can make $20 per hour pretty quick if you are very...

I agree with all of you on the list changes, and I will work on making those changes. TheGrooveking, I agree with the roller. I assume tool box as a roller, but I suppose others may not. We have Rubbermaid industrial carts that are available to use if somewone wanted to put a top on one. I...

Here is a revised list. I culled it down some. These two individuals to be hired will be learning every piece of equipment in the plant and a short period of time (3 months). They will work on presses, electrical 3 phase systems/motors, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, presses, cnc routers and...

Heavy tech, I will think about that more. I can think of specific tools like T15,T20,T25, and T47 star bits, 32mm deep well socket/breaker bar, 17mm wrench. Reptilezs, the company pays for power tools. We all get issued a cordless drill, some of us have our own air tools. I can make the...

Yeah Im 26 and about the same way, if someone needs something they come to me. Not a big deal as we are small and close knit, but people still need to bring stuff in.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I work for a door company as our lead mechanic. Here we manufacture solid wood core interior and exterior doors. Its a fairly large plant at about 300,000 square feet with a large diversity of equipment. I have been at this plant for three and a half years and the...

12pt 12mm wrench on my F-150 universal joint. I broke my SK 1" 1/2 drive 12pt on a Liebherr hydraulic cylinder piston bolt. There was something around 20 bolts holding the piston on, the socket almost made it to the end, ended up having to order a impact 12pt to properly fit. These are the...

I dont own any, but a friend does and they sit in the drawer just fine. I really like the wrenches alot, I can really get on em', they feel great to me. Id love to find a full set of SAE/MM. I know Armstrong has em', but $$$.
