    Pneumatic nailers and air compressor help! First time buying, Metabo HPT Bostitch Rigid Dewalt and more

    This compressor is just for smaller things so that’s why I’m okay with the smaller size. I don’t currently have much space in my current living situation. In a future garage I’ll definitely be getting something bigger, 10-20 gallons for garage use. But for now the little one will do. I’m fairly...

    My gripe with youtube tool reviews

One of the hardest things to measure in a tool review which most people I think find value in is subjective comfort/ergonomics and long term quality. You...

    Homemade Tools

    The most unimpressive homemade tool you’ll ever see… a 2” square wrench that is used to turn the valve key on water main valves when you’re installing new pipe. The handle allows you to crank it quickly. Handle is made from a once broken sheer stud for a bridge, the body was an old wrench, and I...

    What is the quality/reputation of Park Tool relative to car tool brands?

    I have purchased a few Park Tool items but not many because I can usually find comparable quality for less money with other brands. I have nothing against Park Tool except that they cost a premium but I don't think it's always worth it, but I do like that they make some of their products...
