    Channellock flare nut wrenches?

    Does anyone have any experience with Channellock brand flare nut wrenches? I have read posts and watched videos about other brands out there (both good and bad) but haven't seen anything on Channellock brand. A set of 3 metric wrenches (10mm/12mm, 13mm/14mm, 15mm/17mm) is $19.99 at Do It Best...

    Concrete contractor offering two options for reinforcement, thoughts?

    :+1: While having some formal education in engineering and construction management I can't say I can speak on the engineering specifics of rebar spacing or rebar vs. reinforcing mesh for this type of application without looking closer at a plan set or talking with a licensed engineer or the...

    Mechanic's wire gauge/size recommendation

    I'm about to do two brake jobs next weekend (05 tacoma and 94 miata) and as I was making sure I have all the tools and parts that I need I realized that I don't own any mechanics wire. I like to use mechanics wire to hang the caliper out of the way when i'm not working on it. I have always...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    I've tried using a dry teflon spray, it worked okay but wears away relatively quickly. I suppose you could try a graphite coating too. Typically I just don't mow wet grass and it's not a problem. And once or twice I year I'll flip the mower deck up and scrape it off with flexible putty knife but...

    MotivX Oil Filter Wrench

    Thanks all for the info. I read over the thread “Favorite Oil Filter Wrench?” before I first commented on this post and I saw that some said they liked the lisle version but several others said the MotiveX was an improvement on the design and functionality.

    MotivX Oil Filter Wrench

    Do you have a “long term” review update on this? I’m thinking about buying one, wondering how it has held up over time and how effective it has been. Seems like most reviews are positive. Does it destroy the filters? Not that it matters much as I would only use to remove old filters and hand...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    :+1: to everyone that has said Honda or something with a Honda engine. I've never been disappointed with a Honda small engine. I think they're one of the few companies that still makes something worth a damn in today's world. I don't know how much money you want to spend but Hondas do tend to...
