If you call your local branch, they can get them for you in most cases. I got 8-32 and 10-32 from my branch in stainless. It took a little longer to get them, because they needed to source them from other branches, but if you get good pricing it might be worth it. *Edit: The have them on their...

Any sort of cutting tool for me...saw blades (circular, jig, recipro, band, etc), router bits, drill bits, and cutoff off and grinding wheels. All considered consumable, but indispensable for me and my safety.

The newest Milwaukee (with the red sleeve) have held up well for me, much better than the previous (first) generation. I just ordered a half dozen of my 3 most used sizes (T25, T10, #2 Square) of the Vega "Imapactech" from McFeely's. Made of S2 steel with machined tips, they seem like they may...

I'm impressed, touched, and at the same time, heartbroken. This is something I wish I could have done for my father. He was a talented woodworker/furniture maker (among other things) and nothing would have been a more fitting tribute. I had just started to redo the shop to make it more...

I've never had luck using an off the shelf bolt. Look up the model of the saw, one of the spare parts sites should have one for a few bucks.

I use mine a ton. Specifically when I'm quickly snugging a large fastener down that I intend to use a torque wrench on. An example: I spin my lug nuts on and snug them with my regular length 1/2" ratchet and an extension. Then I swap the ratchet for a torque wrench and torque to spec. Much...

Is there a 3/8 brushless on the horizon? Have a link?

Some kindred spirits on here for sure. Did the same thing as you guys when I was a kid.

I have a couple pieces of aluminum channel that hold my extensions. Drilled the ends and installed a nut/bolt to keep stuff from sliding out the end when I roll it around. Been thinking about having them anodized various colors but probably won't.

I have the regular length 1/2" Tuff1. It's nice but doesn't feel so nice that it's used very much. SK sent me a rebuild kit a while back.

Thanks!

Maybe I missed it, but does anyone know the OEM of this set: https://store.snapon.com/Disc-Brake-Tools-Blue-Point-reg-Universal-Brake-Caliper-Tool-Set-P646109.aspx

I'm hoping that Bosch will release one that comes in an L-Boxx; their current model was initially released in one, but that kit seems to be discontinued.

I've had a good experiences with Norseman HSS bits. They can be had for reasonable prices from Epsteins and some other industrial suppliers.

I have a drawer in a Craftsman cabinet that holds most of 'em. I keep them in the original bags and just cut a small hole to pull them out. Works for my infrequent use. For the small colored ones that I use often, I have a Durham drawer/tray.

I have two wrenches marked with USAAF, a Penens and a Plomb. One also has VA95 on it, my father's squadron, and the likely home to both of them.

Some bits can be absolute junk, but some situations just don't work out in the bits favor. Sounds like the bits are to blame here. I've had good luck with the new Milwaukee impact bits, just be sure to buy the ones with the red sleeve on the shank as they are the updated version.

I don't have any pictures yet, but my family was too good to me this year. Brother got me an M12 Fuel impact driver kit and a set of Japanese chisels (http://www.japanwoodworker.com/Product/159539/Kakuri-KKR-Vanadium-High-Speed-Steel-****-Chisels-4-piece.aspx) Mom got me a set of carpenter's...

I prefer Torx but for a lot of smaller wood screws (4-6) there aren't many options so I will try to go with Robertson for those. My dad bought a bunch from McFeely's so I still have a bunch of stock kicking around.

What's the part number on the long 1/4" ratchet? Thanks, Bill
