There's another thread, I think. Called something like The Strong Arm of Tools.

I have that ratchet. It's alright and will certainly work but prefer their 90 tooth in half inch. The 3/8 has a tendency to bind if any lateral pressure is but on it, especially if you are using an extension.

Re: Is this homemade or an old commercial band saw? That's a power hacksaw. I'm not sure if it's completely diy but it might've come from a kit. Either that or it's a very well made home job.

These are stamped in addition to being engraved.

I love mine. There's nothing better for trimming branches with a Milwaukee pruning blade. And, yes, the brand matters for pruning.

I'd probably go with a holesaw.

What type of insulators did you use?

I was told by a chemist that beeswax is corrosive. Not sure if it's true.

That's crazy. Not as crazy as Harry Homeowner buying a ball pein to drive nails but crazy.

I've thought about a track saw in lieu of a table saw but one of my big uses would be cutting down narrow strips. For large sheets a regular circular saw and a straight edge can be made to work - I love my mag sidewinder - but squaring small stock is nearly impossible. I don't think that a track...

The big one right now is a table saw. I was looking at getting one, doing my research, and then The Plague hit, so any purchases like that are put off for the foreseeable future.

You can cut the guts out of them and use them for other stuff if you don't need the case for the tool itself. That can be handy.

I have those wrenches as well. They haven't gotten much use but I do like them.

Weld new hinges on with a soldering iron.

The ones I have are decent wrenches. Not fancy and not very pretty but they work well. I used to routinely wail the piss out of the 15/16 with a hammer and it never skipped a beat.

I'm pretty sure my gearwrench combos are surface drive and I've never experienced that problem. They have the little divots in the open end?

How about a badly rusted 15/16 bolt head?

It looks like a crude multitool geared towards electricians.

Thank you sir!

I love the tiny stuff. If nobody else takes you up on it I'd be happy to give your ratchet a good home.
