    8.8 vs 10.9

    Shouldn't you really be buying everything in 12.9? 4.8 is plenty for most everything I do with bolts. 8.8 and 10.9 are cool to have around for automotive stuff. 12.9 are also used on cars, but I mostly see very specialized fasteners in this grade. I would get 8.8 and if you ever really need...

    Milwaukee Packout Alternatives?

    I don't like that the packout isn't square inside. The little metal thing on the bottom of the rolling chest can go away The aluminum corners are awesome tie downs but hamper the usefulness of the boxes. Overall they are 7/10. Extremely beefy, quick and simple to use, easy to tie down, rolls...

    M18 Milwaukee Fuel Hammer Drill useless for low torque jobs?

    Deadbolt frame? Electrical baseplate? What? If it's in 'drill' mode then no the clutch/torque setting will not work. It needs to be in the driver mode. It is Milwaukee's most powerful cordless drill. It is not the best option for precise or torque sensitive work. I have no problem using mine...

    How to seal between concrete???

    You could wrap the post in expansion joint foam. Tear away the top portion after the concrete cures and use a sealant/caulking designed for the purpose to fill the void left around it. I think most people would just pour straight over it

    Sick of crappy slip joint pump pliers... Which knipex to get?

    Hello I own every Cobra except the 400mm And every Plierswrench... You can ignore the 125MM and 150MM sizes IMO. That small, other styles of pliers are probably more useful. The 180mm, 250mm are the sweet spot for both styles. The 300mm are useful for bigger stuff.. but as mentioned they get...

    Updating The Workshop

    Hmm guess your right. Looks like Menards has them all private labelled Masterforce now. They sold them under the Sanborn name for a long time, probably still some on the floor with the Sanborn name

    I hate people who do electrical wrong

    There's a lot of people out there doing things they know are wrong, and pride never enters the equation. That kind of stuff I will freely pass judgement on

    Framer used a scrap piece of concrete form for building

    Pretty common, the concrete is not going to cause you grief IMO. I have uncovered many form boards in walls over the years. They hold up just fine

    Mig/Tig of just Tig?
