I've certainly seen the "lost 10mm socket" memes, but had no idea this was a thing (much less a thing worth $130). Seems kinda silly... offhand i would have guessed that i use 12mm more than 10mm, at least on cars. And if there's any socket that never seems to be where it belongs, it's...

Gah, that would drive me insane. I'm irritated enough at chasing 3 different charging systems and battery collections around my workspace. I got into Milwaukee because of their Hackzall and use the hell out of it, and had the intention of buying all red tools, but some pieces are so...

I've had the same problems with a Stanley knife, probably ten years ago now. I ended up fixing the blade channel with a file because I'm stubborn and hate dealing with people. Defects happen.

Uuunghh... why you gotta be so many sockets for so little money, when i already have so many sockets and so little money?

Geez, i'm just imagining walking into somebody's shop and seeing that rig and a bunch of animal carcasses lying around... I'd soil myself so hard, people a block away would need to throw out *their* pants. :shocking:

Really like how easy this is to setup/takedown, and that you can leave the saw mounted on it, but holy cow it's gigantic... the footprint may actually be bigger than my folding Dewalt tablesaw (DWE7491RS)!

Why doesn't Astro make sockets for a 1/4" hex impact? I use my Surge for almost everything lately...

Maybe "Internal Combustion Engine", if it were an automotive tool kit from a manufacturer that also built steam or electric models? Though I'd expect an auto kit to come with some screwdrivers and tire tools as well... Just the first thing that comes to mind.

Popeye forearms won't do you any good- the T-handle mechanism won't handle any torque to speak of. Owned one in 1995 for less than a day... :lol_hitti

Most of the things I wanted were listed as blems selling for the same price that HD was offering for brand new stock, but I took a shot on a pre-owned 7-amp grinder for $18 shipped... we'll see if/what I get!

So what are the thoughts on the 2457 non-fuel M12 ratchet- enough torque to be worth getting for a DIYer, or too weak (35 ft-lb) to bother with unless you have a specific task involving a lot of low-torque fasteners? Part of a set on today's HD deal of the day- $99 for ratchet, battery...

Hey, I recently bought that same tool, naturally after *completing* a project where it would have been really helpful. I was pleased with the belt tracking when I tested it out, though. The windings on the spinny part of the motor? I wouldn't mess with it unless you've got a way to true up the...

Region-southeast (Savannah GA area) Don't see these very often... If I had space in my shop I would be driving there rather than posting this for y'all, but alas... 100-year-old (ish) Canady-Otto standing drill press- $400...

Gotta be more to it than that... the Tractor Supply out here is mostly surrounded by vacant land and dollar stores, where there are vanishingly few employers that pay more than minimum wage (not that TS ever has more than two employees on duty at any given time) and it was still in the middle of...

A few more details- I used two of the Demo Demon blades, and wished I'd had a third. This was cutting up about 80% of the carport- I'd already taken off the other 20% with other tools. It was a lot of cuts- close to 300 linear feet, because I was cutting the roof along both sides of the truss...

Not so much a cheap ***, as a broke *** who got a check that covers maybe half of what I've got into the car, and none of what I put into the carport. I'll PM you my paypal addy if you want to send some donations my way, high roller :lol_hitti (ditto for all y'all "just hire a crew with heavy...

Interesting- that makes for one massive benchtop DP! Unfortunately mine was kinda beat and did not come with a lamp (or a chuck), I just picked up a cheap LED gooseneck off amazon.

The proportions strike me as unusual- I wonder if someone may have cut the column down to suit some specific task or workshop setup. Compared to my newer (but not as well-made or nice looking) Rockwell 15-091 it looks to be more than a foot shorter, but with an even larger base and table...

I thought nails would wreck a chainsaw in very short order? (obviously a chainsaw is what I'm using on the tree) I used a ton of nails putting this thing together, especially counting the shingles... I doubt you could cut a foot in any direction across the sheathing and be certain of not hitting...

So, Hurricane Dorian... :mad: A massive live oak landed on my carport, under which was parked my '63 Chrysler. Car insurance will pay out (Hagerty), I'm keeping the car as salvage. Homeowner's insurance won't thanks to a sky-high named storm deductible. I know ordinarily demo work is done...
