Get some really fine sand from a craft store. Put some of it in the joint with some 3 in 1 oil and work the action. It'll loosen them right up. Sounds like ********, but I've used this method several times, and it always works.

I've bought tons of tools from him. Good dude, decent selection, and good prices.

You don't have to like it, but facts don't stop existing because you don't like them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication#:~:text=In%20the%2019th%20century%2C%20the,law%20was%20adopted%20in%201871). Take a look at this chart. The last time a country switched over completely to the...

It's not that simple. It's insanely expensive to convert everything to metric. Just think about how many road signs would need to be replaced. You'd have to pay for materials, labor to manufacture the signs, and labor to install them all so that we can measure how quickly we're going in...

I have a first generation five drawer cart and a second generation 44" box. I have two complaints with the cart. The first one is that the lid doesn't sit at a 90 degree angle when it's up which isn't an issue with the second generation model. My second gripe is that the top area isn't as deep...

You don't have to make a trip to the store if you service it. It's wasteful to get a new ratchet when a few minutes of effort can restore it.

I would share his complaints about serviceability if it was actually true. Those internals are very common on Taiwanese ratchets. I've serviced plenty with oil and never had an issue. I'm not saying he isn't having issues, but I'd bet money it's not oil related.

I wasn't a fan of the size either. I think the length of the regular length confort grip is the perfect size. I wish you could get one in that length without a comfort grip though.

We have lots of Husky stuff in the lift motor rooms at the ski resort where I work. They're not the most pleasant tools to use, but they've consistently gotten the job done. I think their biggest drawback is that so many of their set skip sizes, and the quick release button on their ratchets...

This is a good route to go especially for 1/2" drive where tooth count isn't as important. Easily within your price range. If it was me I'd see if I could find a used 30 tooth Cornwell on Ebay. They're rugged, smooth ratchets with a great handle contour in my opinion.

Towing companies are organized crime.

I used to carry one of those hammers, but I found out about the Res-Q-Me about five years ago and haven't looked back. It's a nice, small package that I can hang from my rear view mirror. https://resqme.com/product/resqme/

Do you have suspenders at all? They make a world if difference in my opinion.

I swear by Boulder Bags.

I'm also a big fan of these.

Just talk to him. Ask why he wants them. If he has a specific reason for wanting them then get them for him. If he's looking for something for basic repairs then ask if he'd be interested in an actual socket set.

Yes. Ever tired to pull romex out of a box with those tabs? Let me know how it works for you. What are you going on about? I'm aware staples are cheap. I'm not saying not to use them. I'm just pointing out why I think the code us written the way it is.

Craftsman Triwing ratchets in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". Entire set $60.00 shipped.

For sure. It definitely falls into the "is this really ******* necessary" category for me, and I think reasonable inspectors probably feel the same way.

Just a heads up for when Iowa adopts the 2020 code, but that's not the code reference in the 2020 edition. It's 314.17(B)(2).
