For passive in-ear protection I love the Surefire in-ear plugs. They come in a few different ratings and are comfortable to wear for 6+ hours with or without over-the-ear muffs. They also have a plug on them so you can open it if you don't need as much protection.

Thank you both. I'll look for M8 and measure the pitch

These bolts came included with a bench, but they are too short. I was liking for something 50 or 60mm but I can’t find the right diameter. Does anybody have advice? They are Allen screws and will bear weight.

You might be on to something here. I'll keep it for a while I guess. Thanks MayerMR

Thanks for the help 1982fxr and 454ragtop. I'll list it and see what happens

I inherited a Wilton vise from my grandfather. I do not know anything about it except for that it was bought most likely in the 60-70's according to my father. I would like to sell it because I have no use for another vise and it is just too big to fit my workbench. Can anybody help me ID...

I own Makita and that would be my recommendation. But the only way for you to truly decide is to compare the tools in hand.

The series 2 boxes look great. HF was always the bargain brand but it's a nice step up. It's no Snap On but its better imo.

Wow thats awesome of SK

My dad isn't a mechanic, or a handyman; he is an intellect. He taught me how to think, how to speak, how to observe and how to analyze. My grandfather taught me how to use my hands, my father taught me how to use my mind.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I'm gonna attempt to repair it next week, thanks for all the advice.

I watched a few videos and I wanted to make sure I am doing this correctly. For the plaster one in my bedroom, the studs are pretty close. I was going to sister a 2x4 to the studs, just attach them straight on with screws. Then countersink a drywall board to that. Then cover with drywall...

Trust me I want to. The money isn't the issue, I will be paying for it regardless but I need to do it myself. My parents are stipulating that. Sorry I forgot to mention it. I do like that idea however lol.

I have had a slight problem recently. During a house party, a friend's plus one ended up punching two holes in two walls. One in my bedroom that I believe is concrete, and the other drywall in the hallway. I have absolutely no knowledge of wall repair and I need to fix the wall to appease...

I had an idea to build a timer outlet that lets me control the exact time I charge something like my phone. I saw commercial ones but they're not flexible enough for my tastes. I am a mechanic however and not an electrician. I was wondering if anyone here could help me develop a simple...

I love my LED maglites. I have 3 in my desk a few more at work, and one in a couple cars. I wouldn't convert one, but the ML300L?? is exceptionally bright and pretty light and durable.

1/4 is pretty common for me. Valve covers, interior especially. I would highly recommend a good set.

Im glad you enjoyed the model. I can't wait to see it completed as well. Merry Christmas.

Thank you Stonesfan68. I love the tools. Thank you soo much. The screwdrivers and pick set are great. And the handles fit my hand very well. And the proto vise grips also are really nice. I have a feeling they will come in handy very soon. Thanks Stonesfan68.

I mainly work in performance. I guess that will fall under high. Technically professional since I work at a shop, but I do it for fun, not for a living. I don't ask to get paid much, I don't need it, someone else could use it.
