    Clutch head screwdrivers

    * Any ideas how many sizes of clutch drivers there are? * I bought a pouch with five Indestro Super drivers at an Estate Sale many moons ago. Lists part numbers on handles 4640 through 4644. Does not indicate the sizes.

    What stuff still requires SAE even if your doing all metric work?

    * I know that you said you don't want to buy sets : You don't list your location so ........ When I used to go to estate sales in AZ, there were always a lot of sets of SAE sockets and wrenches for cheap money. * I use SAE quite a bit. As well as metric. Depends on the product I'm servicing.

    Ebay or Auction Deals Permathread!

    I thought the Duro Indestro set looked familiar. I also bought the ProAmerica set back in 2015 for $12.00. I don't ever remember using them, but they seemed to be good quality. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/vintage-proamerica-metric-offset-box-wrenches.312553/

    Honeywell Pro thermostat programing for heat droop

    * Curiosity killed the cat? I've been in my current house for 13+ years in AZ. Just a 4-ton heat pump for my 1400 square foot house with no "backup heat strips". No issues with keeping warm in the winter months. Nor high electric bills. Especially compared with my summer bills. * Are your...

    TEMU Headlamp, LED based, is excellent

    I was curious about Temu. I ordered 3-4X, using my alternate Email account. Low end stuff. Some stuff good, some so-so, some not so good. That's about what I expected. Constantly getting bombarded with emails. I'm glad they are easy to delete.

    Best Accessories You've Purchased for Your Garage

    Sounds like you have a good solution to deal with your watercolor paintings, but to add further. I found SpaceBar's ditty on lighting pretty good. I ran a department that dealt with the phosphors used in fluorescent lamps for a lighting manufacturer. Below is a quote from Wikipedia Color...

    Union tool chest co

    Those look great!!! Not that I need more storage boxes given the stacks of boxes in my garage, but I would definitely have to pick those up at any yard or estate sales.

    Drill bits I can resharpen?

    Ryan : How are you making out with the Norseman selection? I've had good luck with them. Just my two cents to complement the other great suggestions : * I recently bought individual bits of the smaller sizes from Harry J Epstein. Seemed to be good quality. * I bought a ten pack of Cobalt...

    Outside AC Unit - efficiency improvement

    Good luck with this. If you do decide to go forth with this, I'd be interested in your posting the findings in this thread. Since AZ water is hard, I probably would not try it here.

    Will my 1990's screwdrivers eventually smell bad?

    - I don't know how to answer that question. - Craftsman is a brand that has been manufactured by many firms. Over along period of time. - I've bought quite a few screwdrivers (new and used) with the Craftsman brand name. None have smelled. Some have developed the white scourge. Which I cleaned...

    tight ball valve

    You'll have to choose your own poison. I have a ball valve for the main to my house. It was stiff enough that I was going to have to a pipe on it to close it. Or replace it. I dripped a very tiny bit of WD-40 onto it. That freed it up enough to work it. On my house checklist : Once a...

    Need some help identifying this C-channel

    I have no dog-in-this-fight (?), in that I'll probably never use the knowledge. But I'm curious as to what your results/outcome are/is. For posterity. The level of knowledge of people who frequent this site amazes me.

    Can I lube my door locks and car locks with Triflow?

    - Glad you decided. I'm always interested in updates. Even though it may only be one data point by one person, I find knowledge of a person's experience valuable. - I use the Teflon based lubes, as well as Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant Aerosol, without incident for the last five years or so. My...

    Storage Cabinet Divider Removal

    - Good luck on this. - Kind of comical to me. I was looking to add that kind of functionality to a cabinet I had without using trays. I needed to store tools. Screwdrivers, pliers, ratchets, sockets etc. Ended up using cheap plastic trays.

    Storage / Dispensers for Chemicals?

    An eternity ago (25 years ago), I had a job (actually I was a manager, not a user) that used a lot of those nasty chemicals. Matching the chemicals with the proper Nalgene bottles should work..

    brass or zinc?

    I hope the OP already has dealt with this as the original posting is 12+ years old. Personally, I like torx but I have no idea what was readily available at what price 12 years ago. Or with supply chain disruptions of this Covid era ..... what is now.
