Sears was in a death spiral long before Eddie Lampert got involved. It's been well documented. Eddie has actually lost his *** since buying Sears. His net worth has declined over $1.5 Billion (Yes Billion$) in the years he has owned it. So if you want some poetic justice Eddie is getting his...

That's really interesting as I had not heard of a SS hose. But looking at the ad it seems like it's a PVC hose inside an SS conduit? Still a neat idea! . . .

Every time I see that SWAG finger brake I wonder why I don't have one! Not one complaint from anyone. So useful too. I have the 20T HF press and upgraded that to a 20T air over hydraulic jack and one of the best things I did was to go to a foot valve to operate the press. Leaves both hands free...

I seriously doubt that it being poisonous had anything to do with it! As always money drives business. I am quite sure the west changed it because of cost. Either the base materials cost or the cost of the process required to make it. . . .

If your looking for those Metal Magery Sheet Metal Skin Wedges you can get a 3 pack for a VERY good price at Aircraft Tool Supply. I like this company a lot but I am not a plane guy! But 3 of these for $22 is a steal!! I have them and they are extremely useful too. That very thin tip is the...

Surprised we don't have more people who shoot? Once you get proper Silicone custom molded ear plugs made to your own ears you just don't understand how effective AND how comfortable ear plugs can be! I worked decades in offshore oil and gas which is a massively noisy environment with constant...

Yes I love and use my wobble extensions from HF all the time! I did not know about these and until I used them did not see the point. Extremely useful and keeps the socket on the head of the fastener so less chance of slippage and rounding stuff off. . . .

For a low cost helmet I just got a YESWelder one. Full color screen and the ability to see is such a massive improvement over my old Jackson helmet!! It's a Chinese unit and I love having the controls outside the helmet and the top notch optics at 1/1/1/1. Seeing full color is unbelievable when...

Miller is an industrial brand and a top of the line welder. I would not worry about it and I doubt you will have any problems. My old Snap-On Mig welder was made by Century is pushing 30 years now and still works fine. That brand is no where near as good as Miller. . . .

I got a North Star used that TSC carries. Good price ($1500 with a bunch of RapidAir fittings and 150' of 3/4" tubing) and pretty quiet for NOT being a quiet compressor! Only one complaint and I even wrote to the company to see if they would fix it. It's an 80 gallon 7.5 HP 24 CFM compressor...

I just think it's like walking a dog? You exercise him a bit and he WILL poop! We are not so different from our animals! . . .

I also put the mess outside if at all possible. Grinding dust is small and nothing you can do will prevent it from spreading all over. Do ALL grinding outside of the shop. If I need to grind on a car I pull it outside. I am real tired of trying to keep a working shop clean! . . .

Might look at Generac's suggested piping for that unit? I run NG but the generator will draw a lot of volume and a normal whole house gas regulator will be too small. I also have a pool heater plus a generator and the gas company had several bigger meter's depending on what you had at your...

Use and love 3/4" Rapid Air. Top quality and very clean. I like that it's easy to reconfigure and that every drop has a water drain. . . .

There is no returning to "normal" times that's just a wish that won't come true. The market just is. As others up thread have mentioned you won't get much if anything for any shop or out building. I sold my last house with a custom 30' X 40' shop with 10K lift and 7.5 HP air compressor included...

I have the 750 and I find it works very well on larger bits. Not very good on small stuff. So now if it's 1/4" or under I throw it out and get a new bit. Too cheap to worry about it. . . .

Very nice that smoke grey color! First one I have seen. . . .

That is a very good suggestion as I am constantly looking at boat and airplane stuff. Interesting what you can find. I like the offshore boat stuff as it's mostly stainless steel. If you have not seen Aircraft Spruce take a look! Aircraft Spruce Company Just a fascinating bunch of products...

I have the really nice 4' long Al. section gutter guards by Leafproof. So many trees here and I spent a lot on clogged down spouts and cleaning drains as well. It's expensive as I paid $5200. For cleaning and install on a large single story house. Leafproof . . .

It's a battery it will fail as they all do. Just part of the game. . . .
