I have busted a few. Happens a lot on old exhaust systems but I recently had a couple of suspension arm mounting bolts give up. For some reason I call it "shearing" while if it breaks while installing I call it "torquing". Guess it depends on if it broke by stretching or twisting. Bruce

I found an NB 54 that is 60 tooth. Are the heads on these always floppy? Bruce

°°° cool!

I want to open a booth at SEMA called "Punch a Factory Engineer in the Face". Bet I could charge $50 a swing and not even slow down for a few days. When changing the heater core on my ****** I take advantage of the fact that the entire interior is removed to do a nice power wash of the seats...

welcome from North East Texas! Bruce

I blame this forum for the knowledge to recognize this and rescue it. Bruce

I found my old (1984) SO deep impact socket to be too worn to use just last night. Just felt loose so I compared it to a new one I bought at an estate sale last year. I had been living with the quirks of the old socket for a while. Nut would sometimes jam in the socket, but I was good at...

Welcome from East Texas! Bruce

Duker got me one of his wonderful cutting boards. Also received a nice Holley carb that will be either on a falcon or an 81 Mustang coupe! Also discovered that Uniballers gift was not sent along with a few others due to me being dumb when switching daily drivers...will get it out ASAP...

I got the cutting board for Christmas! Already used it twice and it is beautiful. It was like finding that tool you didn't know would notch up the game. Bruce

1972 when we built the shop. Initially for storage and a step up from changing oil in the dirt and keep the lawn stuff out of the carport (did not work like that!). I moved off and returned in 2000 to a full building surrounded by brush. Got it cleaned out and beat back the brush by 2002 and got...

Welcome from East Texas! Looks like a lot of fun there! Bruce

I still have a problem with the definition of "vintage". I picked up this Craftsman with a 1970 date code because it was a nice usable box. The "New box" is a 1983 Snap-On stack! Even my "Old" boxes are still used as just tool boxes. I have a 1958/59 Craftsman stack and a 1954 Bonney stack...

I want a big truck like that! Bruce

By proclaiming the NO New Projects oath, you have entered the "Screaming Deal" part of your life. If you do any shopping for shop or home stuff, you will invariably notice an auction or estate sale that has a few items you need for that next project. If you are silly enough to actually appear...

I have a bad habit of buying slightly abused cars and these are one of my most used items. Bruce

I was once a happy little wrench turner with a lot of tools. Had my priorities that Snap-on was best, Craftsman was what everyone had and the rest were good enough to get the job done. Came here looking to find out about an old Craftsman box and found all this tool info. Learned all these tool...

I prefer the 2 point as it gives me a good chance for a final walk around to check for problems. Bruce
