    Is the Den of Tools a shill?

    I have no idea. Reminds me of a guy with 10 thumbs and no clue about tools.

    BernzOmatic torch

    I have the TS4000 and don't see how there ever was any spark in the area circled in red. I think that curved tube carries the high voltage wire up to near the end of the main tube. When mine wouldn't ignite I unscrewed the nozzle and saw the wire grounded to the tube. Moving the wire away formed...

    13 month old Husky 3-Ton Low Profile Floor Jack leaking . . . WTF Over!?

    If you haven't done so already, before considering replacing it, one option is to see where it's leaking. How well did it raise the vehicle, meaning did it stop short from lack of oil. Have you flipped it over yet for inspection for location of leakage. Wipe it down and put under load to maybe...

    Time for a new bench grinder me thinks

    Would it matter if the grinder base overhung the plate a little as long as the mounting holes still fit on the plate.

    Recognize this bench grinder?

    Measure what size wheel would fit with normal clearance inside the wheel guards.

    No place to mount a wire wheel but I'd take it if the jar of pennies comes with the deal.:D

    Time for a new bench grinder me thinks

    Harbor Freight has other grinders. That $200 Hercules also weighs 48 lbs and may be more grinder than you need. And there's other grinder videos on youtube. And as suggested, check out Dewalt. There's also Lowes and Amazon. You also may score a variable speed one if your present grinder has been...

    Time for a new bench grinder me thinks

    OP might want to view some youtube reviews on grinders. There's a lot of gutless 2.1 amp 6" grinders that look identical except for paint color and label (Wen, Bauer etc) that don't have the power of your old Craftsman. Project farm did a test on 8" grinders. The 8" Bauer or Hercules from Harbor...

    Make sure to hide in the garage with the lights off while you caress the chrome on your new baby. Isn't that what all of us tool addicts secretly do.;)

    LMAO

    Not only is it "vintage" but when it is a "Delta" brand then it's like gold. While perusing ebay a while back I couldn't believe the prices on crapped out Delta drill presses and bench grinders. Didn't bother checking Baldor, Dayton or Milwaukee prices.

    Am I reading this meter correctly

    Decibels is a not a sound pressure thing only. It is just a ratio where a quantity is expressed relative to a reference value. Can be (is/was ) used for electrical use. It's logrithmic which is useful for comparing things that have an extremely large range.

    Whitworth Extractor Sockets - Do They Exist?

    Why Whitworth size. A rounded off bolt or nut doesn't have a certain size depending how damaged it is. You just pick the one that fits the best and hammer it on and remove. In some cases you may have to "profile" the fastener with a file or grinder if it fits between 2 adjacent socket sizes...

    Torque Wrench Checker

    For years I just checked my clicker(s) against my Craftsman 150# beam/pointer TW. Picked up a NOS TQ adapter for ~$30 on ebay. It's like the earlier version of HF one that goes from 27-147 ft-lb ( now you need to buy 2 HF adapters to cover that range) and covers my 10-100 and 10-160 clickers...

    Torque Wrench Checker

    What about using the digital torque adapters that Harbor Freight and others sell. The guy John at "Tools Tested" on youtube did tests on the HF ones and maybe Project Farm also.
