    Paintbrushes: clean and keep, or replace regularly?

    My feelings exactly, in fact I stopped buying them for my painting business as a result. I found Corona brushes to be very good, although since I retired about two years ago I haven't needed to buy any more.

    Is EBay completely worthless or does it just seem that way to me

    I find myself using Ebay a lot less than I did years ago. Occasionally I buy from them, but imo I have to be careful. Years ago I sold things on Ebay, it got too expensive so I stopped using them.

    How do you winterize your pressure washer?

    I add Stabil Marine to fresh gas, run the machine and fog the engine. While fogging I close the gate valve going to the carburetor and run it dry, then change the oil. I pull the starter cord and get the water out of the pump, then with a small length of garden hose and a funnel I put...

    How useful are long straight no flex ratchets?

    IMO they all have their place. I've had a few occasions that I remember where the lock gave out or a flex alone was sloppy. Other times where just a long straight ratchet was needed to apply considerable force, where a breaker bar and 12 point socket made access more difficult than the ratchet.

    New Snap-On F100

    I agree with your observations, however mine don't take much force to get them to freewheel. There are occasions where I have to put some force on the back of the ratchet, granted not too often. My biggest beef is they're a premium tool at a premium price, and the only ratchets I own that have...

    New Snap-On F100

    I'm still waiting patiently for them to resolve the freewheel issue with the 100 tooth ratchets. Last time I checked, [IIRC] late November there appears to be no resolution. If anyone has more current information please share. Thanks.

    I found they come in quite handy for removing hoses, especially if you plan on reusing the hose..

    Sawzall Pruning Blade?

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to check these out at HF next time I'm in the area of my local HF. In the meantime I'll probably grab the Milwaukee carbide blade with the remaining balance on a HD gift card.
