    Buried Padlocks

    We have a large amount of buried padlocks at my facility and invariably they end up rusting shut and we can't unlock them and resort to cutting them off. Has anyone here in the hivemind successfully weatherproofed one? I know when we bury utilities we have to wrap some of the unions and fittings...

    Winch questions

    1.5 times your vehicle weight used to be the bare minimum. I usually go double to be safe. Learn how to use your ****** blocks and shackles etc. and you can do amazing work with a small winch.

    Fall 2025 - My friend wants a fine tooth ratchet

    Long ago USA made ones. I'm not the die hard on COO, but if I can I'll buy American. Or more accurately, avoid PRC.

    Fall 2025 - My friend wants a fine tooth ratchet

    So far, I have had the best luck with the Snap On dual 80 and SK LP90 products, as someone mentioned above me the HF Icon ratchets weren't bad especially if you can find a coupon etc. for them.

    Fall 2025 - My friend wants a fine tooth ratchet

    I still need to do that at some point. My wife drives a Prius and it is a big pain in my *** to work on it coming out of a lifetime of trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, and tractors.

    The Stihl MS 261 - The Best Chainsaw Stihl Currently Makes!

    We run a 261CE at the park and it has become our go to saw for about everything short of major felling work. I will probably look at buying one for my next saw at home if I am being honest about it.

    Floor Jack and Jack stands

    Just go buy Daytona stuff at HF. It's all pretty solid stuff, especially post recall. Do the axle swap, you're gonna wreck that AMC 20 on big rubber.

    Do we have a favorite grease gun?

    I look for old ones at yard and estate sales because they're cheap and way better than 90% of what is on the shelf these days.

    Things off of the tool truck

    My mechanic told me that years ago, he buys from the driver, not the brand. He said there are some differences between them all of course, but at the end of the day it won't make enough difference to matter. The man delivering them is what the difference is in his eyes.
