    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    Here is my KRSC101PCM at the railroad I work at with an KR295PCM on the side. I mounted it using existing holes in the cart itself and nutserts, although I did have to drill new holes in the KR295PCM.

    Quality Power Washer Quick-Connect Fittings

    Thanks for the info! I will check to see if anybody sells these locally or else I'll just order what I need online. I couldn't believe the price difference for the brass coupler/fittings vs the stainless ones. Almost makes me wonder if the brass ones are still USA made? Anybody else have any input?

    Quality Power Washer Quick-Connect Fittings

    I am looking for quality quick connect fittings of the type used with power washers. Preferably of USA or European manufacture. If no such thing exists then I guess I will have to use whatever the best quality asian import brand is. Does anybody have any experience or recommendation of a...

    New Snap On Product : Air Reciprocating Saw

    SnapOn makes this air saw, it is not produced for anybody else or under any other form other than through SnapOn. Also to the best of my knowledge no other air saw takes sawzall blades. This is important for me because the other day I had to use an 8" long 10tpi sawzall blade to reach into a odd...

    New Snap On Product : Air Reciprocating Saw

    I bought one a few months ago and have been using it at the rail road where I work. In at least 2 or three situations it has been a huge lifesaver. Better power and quieter than the old blue-point saws by far. Where I work it sees a lot tougher use than in an automotive shop, such as cutting...

    What are/(were) your most USELESS tools?

    I wouldn't exactly say a mill and lathe are useless. In your scenario it never made any sense to have them. But for some people the lathe and mill are the basis around everything that they do.

    Scale Model Dozer Ride On For My Son

    This is my favorite thread on the whole forum! Personally the only thing that would make me enjoy this more would be if it was fitted with a Wisconsin THD engine. Very high quality inline 2 cylinder air cooled engine that makes gobs of torque, and would really look the part with the rest of the...

    The things that annoy you in the fabrication industry?

    Drives me insane when people use the very edge of an abrasive disk when there is no reason to at all. Then when you go to use the tool and actually need to use the edge it is already used up.

    3/4" Ratchet - Williams & SnapOn Interchangeability

    The older smaller diameter SnapOn 3/4" handles are very tough, but springy when really pulling on hard. Some people dont care for that (and in some situations for good reason). I think that might have something to do with why they stepped the diameter up a bit.

    SnapOn GOFER1A & GOFER4A

    Thanks guys! I'll take a look around and find some suitable velcro straps as well. Edit: I found this company http://www.velcro.com/Products/Ties-and-Straps.aspx A seller on ebay has some straps from this company and says they are USA made, and they are similar style to the SnapOn ones.

    SnapOn GOFER1A & GOFER4A

    Does anybody own or know about Snap on GOFER1A & GOFER4A? The first one is a wire installation tool and the other is a pack of 12 velcro type straps in different colors. I figured it would be a easier than mechanics wire for some things, help keep my meter leads together in my box drawer etc...

    Drilling out a broken thread tap

    It is much more difficult to torch out a tap or a bolt from a blind hole than it is a hole you can simply blow the bolt/tap out the other end. Good luck torching out a steel bolt/tap/extractor out of a steel part without blowing the threads out as well. And no a torch will not cut aluminum but...
