    Who makes the best flare nut wrenches?

    I have some sk that work well but as stated before snap on seems the way to go. I know there’s some project farm haters but he did a video and snap on was the clear winner

    Useful hand tools beyond the normal set

    I rarely use regular ratchets. It’s almost always a long handle flex head because of the amount of leverage you get from them. I use a regular ratchet or stubby when I need something for a tighter space. Now im usually working on rusty Michigan vehicles so the extra leverage is needed

    Amazon replacements of HF products

    I got a set of the orange hf ones years ago and i used them as a diy guy and I think they are trash. I have 1 or 2 of them left. I see someone else had good luck with them for the most part. Most of mine are used one’s from garage sales or something. Menards carries some wilde or mayhew I...

    Welding Equipment

    I picked up a hobart handler 190 in January to replace my Campbell housefield welder. There’s NO comparison!! I struggled to weld with that Campbell for years and always told myself im just blaming the tool. That’s not the case with a welder. I went from 110 volts to 220 going that route and...

    What tool should i get?

    1/4in drivers are great. Put a 1/4in or 3/8s adapter on it for smaller stuff. Great for projects around the house. A drill and impact driver are sold in sets because now days there what everyone uses

    Hanging Drop Light location and type

    Corded led but i also have cordless. My memory just ***** and leaving the cordless light in a cubby hole or in the case of my hf braun light i left on the rear leaf spring of my truck and ran for parts and the snow dripped on it and it wouldn’t work for months. I had a cordless light fall out in...

    Hanging Drop Light location and type

    I just hang it from the chain that came with the light. I haven’t used it on my wife’s newer car yet. Im in the rust belt so everything i work on has rust. I prefer corded over cordless on cars because i tend to leave my cordless ones stuffed in a cubby somewhere and it falls out in the driveway...

    adjustable wrench

    Anything 20 years old or older. New ones are ****. Milwaukee is borderline ok. They all have a ton of slop in them now days. I cant speak for tool truck brands but for anything you can find in a home improvement or hardware store seem to be sloppy. I have an old do it best brand from about...

    Small Home air compressor

    All good advice but an oil lubed unit last longer and you only change 1qt of oil every year or 2. If you get belt drive they are not nearly as loud as a direct drive. Hf has a 20 gallon belt drive compressor that gets great reviews. If that’s not a consideration then one of the quiet compressors...

    air compressor oil change interval

    I have a 60 gallon and changed shortly after i got it and in April will be 2 year so I will probably fork over the big $$ for a quart of oil. Like most people i use cordless mostly and every 2 year is probably way over kill on an oil change. I could probably go 4 and be ok but since a qt of oil...
