    Checking out the Makita impact drivers (brushless) at HD

    I'm a Makita man myself. I really like the tools and they will take a beating and keep going. The batteries are good if you don't try and push them too hard when dead. The batteries have a circuit board and if the lithium cells get too hot or draw too much current when there is low voltage on...

    2007 F150 Spindle torque issues

    The torque isn't in concerns to the nut coming off; its for bearing preload.

    Where to buy Bahco wrenches?

    I'll give them a look. Thanks for the info. I looked at Proto but they are very expensive and the spline is a no no. If I recall the Bahco wrenches were made in Spain. Am I wrong? Plus I have a Snap On truck that comes every couple of weeks for warranty issues.

    Where to buy Bahco wrenches?

    The reason for my curiosity in Bahco is their large reversible ratcheting wrenches go to 32mm and they seem reasonable in cost. Any alternatives for getting reversible ratcheting combination wrenches that go to 32mm and aren't made in Taiwan?

    magnetic dial indicator bases

    I was in the same boat as you are now and messed around with the flexible mag bases but kept my eye on eBay and scored a Noga for $50. It was the best purchase made. Everybody that sees the Noga wishes they had one. I would wait and up your budget or be patient and keep an eye on eBay.

    Best boots?

    Corner store insoles **** and doctors are expensive. I'm so impressed with Sole insoles. I'm about to offer a money back guarantee and I don't even work for them.

    Best boots?

    I had the same problem in the past. Boots look great and my feet and knees are killing me at the end of the day. Finally got wise and got Sole Insoles http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013HYCQM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 You put them in the oven on low for 2 minutes or until the heat indicator turns red...

    Tool ID?

    It's just a screw holding screwdriver. They make Philips and straight versions also. I like your tool because I usually have to daisy chain two combination screwdrivers together to get to the mounting screws of large drives and then it's a balancing act to get the screw back there and in the...

    Tool ID?

    Probably no specific application just hard to reach places. For example, in a control enclosure the panel mounted components can be pretty deep and tightly spaced making the screws hard to get at if you have to replace a VFD or contractor, or anything else.

    Tool ID?

    Easy, its for holding screws like this. Into hard to reach spots. The picture is of a 10-24 screw, which also has a 5/16" hex head.

    Educate me on Machinist tool bits

    They are most definitely reusable. A machinist will grind the bit to any shape he needs for a particular job then resharpen if necessary or reshape for the next job. Rex bits are good high speed steel bits. There is a market for the used bits on eBay. Cool they came from your dad nothing really...

    Actual proof one brand is superior when it comes to sockets?

    That's not saying anything about Snap-On, it's only saying you got better at wrenching as your knowledge increased with experience.

    Norseman drill set group buy?

    Norseman makes the ultimate shop bits. They can take abuse and still cut a good hole like no other bit set can. I have had a fractional set in the superdex plastic case in my field service box for 5 years now and they get used hard and still cut well. Get a set and never look back.
