    So AVE just called out Real Tool for being a HF shill

    I was thinking the whole point of the "T" and extra couple of feet of hose in Aves test was only to show how easy it is to skew the results. I am surprised at all the Ave hate. To me he is entertaining. I have been working on junk for 25 years, yet I have learned alot just from watching Ave...

    Good brands of Vernier digital calipers?

    This. People have certain brands they prefer but you will never go wrong with anything digital that is Mitutoyo. Stay away from Starrett digital.

    Trick tools

    Well its sideways but you get the idea. Also zip tied the trigger and added a light switch with a female extension cord. Not perfect but cost me $0 not counting the saw.

    Trick tools

    That is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having one. Here is a slightly different version if the picture works, though not as nice lol. Drill press table raised up and off center. A piece of rebar bent into a hook and wedged into the table hole. It is actually very secure and stable. 1 inch uhmw...

    What chainsaw would you recommend?

    I have used alot of saws. If you are not spending the money to buy a pro saw to make a living with I would look at echo. You will not go wrong with one. Mine has set for long periods, dump gas out, refill with fresh gas, and pull 2 or 3 times. Also as people have already pointed out, most...

    Removing wood from Snapon ss top?

    If anyone is wondering my top is holding up great. It is very solid. It has been in and out of warm shops and damp shops since I have fixed it. The liquid nails is good stuff.

    How to get a perfect radius

    Actually I wasn't thinking when I posted that. You will be doing a 1/4" radius. Still a lot of grinding. I was checking out an online surface area calculator. If I punched the numbers in right it would be the same as taking a 6 foot long 1/4" rod and grinding it to dust. That is if you ground a...

    How to get a perfect radius

    If you really have to have a full radius you are going to have to grind awhile. You better plan on buying a 7 inch grinder and the roughest wheel you can find. You will still probably need a 4.5 to rest some. I hope you can flip the plate over because doing the bottom will be rough. It can be...

    Removing wood from Snapon ss top?

    So I finished the project. For the wood I used two pieces of 23/32 advantech flooring plywood, and one piece of 11/32 plywood. Screwed it together and bolted it down to the box. The wood is about .030-.040 thicker than what I actually needed. But I ended up with a bigger gap than I wanted...

    Kobalt (short) 7 piece hex socket set 9.99

    I know its not the exact same thing but I would avoid the kobalt long hex sockets with the ball end. I picked up a 5mm and broke the ball off the first time I used it. It is weak metal. The fastener was barely past snug. I am unsure of coo of the one I purchased.

    Removing wood from Snapon ss top?

    Probably not now lol. I don't really know. I hate to ask them to because I just bought this boxed used and this is the only snap on tool I've ever bought. And I've heard the truck drivers replace things out of their pocket. Don't know if that is true though. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using...

    Removing wood from Snapon ss top?

    Just picked up a krl with ss top. The top was never bolted down and the wood has taken on moisture. Now everything is warped, the stainless and the wood both. I want to rebuild something where the particle board is and try to pull the stainless back down flat on it. But my question is has...
