    Vise Slide Handle

    I guess I'm not quite clear on what you guys are doing that's wanting to pinch your fingers between the ball ends and the screw. I just reach down and grab the lowest, gravity settled end of the handle and move it to where I want. If the ball end starts to fall toward the screw, it falls right...

    Wood and What Not...

    It's a little too gaudy for my taste. Might be fine for wood carver's tools. But I'd never put mechanic's tools into something like that. Lumpy You were the "OPERATION" game voice? Yes. Take out wrenched ankle. www.LumpyMusic.com

    Dripless caulk gun review

    My 2.99 big box gun allows me to simply rotate the tube of caulk. The tip angle then effectively moves to whatever angle I might want. I'm not sure how some kind of dedicated rotation thing in the 20 dollar gun would be any different. Also, FWIW, the quick release anti drip lever on my cheapo...

    What new American-made tools did you buy today?

    At least once a week I buy a USA Craftsman tool from the "closeout" shelf at Sears. Yesterday, a two pc set of spark plug sockets, 5/8 and 13/16. 97 cents for the pair. Lumpy You were on CHiPs? Did you wear those **** tight pants and high boots like Erik Estrada? No. Swimtrunks...

    Metric vs. SAE Std tool use

    Probably 90% Metric, mostly vehicles. At some point in my past, I needed a nut and bolt so I bought a box each of 1/4-20. Since then, every time something needs fastening, I use that 1/4-20 format. So now I've got thousands of 1/4-20 nuts and bolts from 3/4" long to 4" long, galvanized...

    Open letters to Craftsman & Sears

    Do I kill more American babies if I buy a Craftsman Chinese 15/16 wrench than I do if I only buy a 7/16? And what about metric. To work on my Chevy Pickup, which was built in Mexico, I need metric wrenches to access the Indonesian throttle body, the Indian water pump and the Chinese shocks. I...

    :rocker: Elaborate please. How do you apply it to the little green glowers? I hunt them every night with my xtra long hemostats, broom handle, UV flashlight. I'd love to find something that I could just spray on them with a sprayer bottle or something. Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke www.n0eq.com

    Your 'Go' tool bag/box?

    I think I'd want to find a little more protected way to store those sharp pointed pick things. I'd be stabbing myself all the time. But I like the style of bag like that, with all the tools exposed, vs a "purse" style bag that you have to dig through. Good handles on those Husky bags. Lumpy...
