In my experience, they were actually really good about parts. I don't remember Sears ever failing to get me the parts I needed. Not saying it didn't happen to people though. In my experience Sears really tried doing the customer right back in "the day" But obviously that was long ago. And sears...

That's strange. I've seen a bunch of adjustables fail. Never saw the static jaw break off. Even beating them with large hammers or putting them in hydraulic presses. Almost always, they will flex just enough to jump the flat, without breaking anything catastrophic. Usually locking up and...

I find them in 1/2" drive most often locally. I have a couple that i picked up for a couple dollars here and there, mostly pawn shops. I'm still on the look out for a nice 3\8s example. I have found a number of them, but either asking way too much, or ratchet was tore up. Sent from my LGLS676...

I believe in most(if not all) jurisdictions, blades that are sharpened on more than a single side are illegal to carry, and are considered "daggers". This is why most boot knives, and legal switch blades/stilettos are only sharpened on one side. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Yeah, tektons regurgitation of the usual 6pt superiority. Because tektons marketing wanketeer is high on the list of authority on... Anything. Many things in life are commonly thought of as true or relevant by masses of people, that aren't at all. Try watching the news.. Yes, the inner circle...

I haven't been carrying a knife for quite a while now. Although I have probably 40 or so good quality knives. I do carry a Springfield EMP4 and a streamlight everywhere I go though. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

This is what I got. Found the two sets on a super clearance price a couple months ago locally.. Not the best wrenches, but for what I paid for all 21 wrenches, they will do just fine. Got them essentially for a home beater set, so I can take the set from my cart here, and move it back to my 44"...

Best bags made by far! Very good Wisconsin made boots! It surprises me they aren't more popular. Near zero break in, never hear of guys getting blisters ever. Storm welt, easily resoled. They just blow Redwings out of the water, for the same money. I've never worn more comfortable boots, and I...

I have some old Williams adjustables that are absolutely great. Smooth, tight, beefy jaws where it counts, and they just look good. I have Protos, USA craftsman, I think an SK, and other industrial brands I can't think of at the moment. I believe I have an old Klein or two floating around too...

I also wouldn't hesitate to buy a small dewalt set on a good sale or used, knowing I planned on going Milwaukee when I could afford it in a few months or a year... You can always find a use for these things. Keeping a drill and a recip saw in your truck is not a bad idea. I keep a drill always...

I agree with both outlooks in a sense. I think having all battery tools use the same battery platform is great.. But having two battery/tool groups is absolutely not a big deal at all... Having Milwaukee drive tools and Hitachi nail guns sounds great. Of course, having 6 different...

Technically? Its internal to the drill. But I can't come up with a reason why that would matter. Its just an input force. We are looking at the drill gearbox and the inputs and outputs... Not the whole drill. The motor is the input. The wrench. Braced against the case inside the drill, this is...

Why so? What happens if you use 14awg slot to break and pull? I know solid awg is one size smaller than stranded awg.. Does this have something to do with it? Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

I have a tote somewhere with a bunch of those in between sockets and wrenches..32ths... 64ths They were much more common obviously way back before fasteners were totally standardized. Along with some whitworth and BS in the mix. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Never heard wroth... But technically heighth is not incorrect, it just fell out of favor. It was an real, accepted word for eons, used along with length and width. Dickens used it occasionally in written word. "Height" is a shortened version of "heighth"... its still used widely across north...

What is the reasoning for this?? I can't figure it out. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

I kept one on my keys for years. Never remember using it ever, so I took it off. I have a few laying around. Cool post! Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Also, it seems that about 100ft of good 5/8" hose is about as far as you'd wanna go before jumping to 3/4" Somewhere just around there is when you'll notice a drop in performance with average decent quality fittings. Really junk hoses probably fall short before that obviously. I wonder how...

Absolutely correct. Adding a constriction at the half way point is the worst thing you could do with water or air hoses(less so). It creates a drop in flow and pressure after the constriction opens back into full diameter hose, the column of water is unable to flow at full velocity to your...

Flexzilla hoses are great. Both water and air. The water hoses are very expensive compared to traditional hoses, unlike the air lines. Are craftsman hoses still full lifetime satisfaction guaranteed? They were a killer deal when they were. The heavy black "pro grade", premium, contractor or...
