I was gonna say Lampert must have forgotten to destroy that one.

A friend of mine made a similar workbench by attaching a solid wood door sideways to a wall. It folded upwards, and when lowered to workbench position, he had chains connected to it for stability - like a truck tailgate. He mentioned adding fold-out legs so it would support more weight...

I usually mark the hole with a pencil, sharpie, or a paint pen - whichever will show up better. Then I use a solid center punch and a ball-peen hammer to get a hole started. That often works pretty well, but use eye protection! Fresh bits work better. Brand doesn't matter that much, but I have...

I'd bet the Taiwan-made ones are probably much better.

Anyone know where are the Lenox snips made? I use, and like the USA-made Wiss snips, but I don't do much metal cutting, other than ceiling grids.

I generally have no problems buying Taiwan-made tools. The quality coming from Taiwan has greatly improved in the last 20 years, to the point that it has eclipsed USA-made tools in some cases. I like to support USA brands, but that's getting more and more difficult, since many are gone, jacked...

I will echo the confusion about what actual product failed. It seems the author of the article was not knowledgeable on that, which is a common issue. Then again, most journalists don't moonlight as mechanics. This of course is assuming that the article was not A.I. generated, or politically...

Very sad news indeed. He had a wealth of knowledge, and I always enjoyed the videos with him and Jory.

Warranties are nothing more than a sales gimmick. They are strait up lying. They don't care if it's wrong or not, because they only care about profits. The do not care about customers at all. If you get mad and never shop there again, they don't care. There are plenty of others to make up for it...

This has probably already been mentioned, but Megapro is a US/Canadian company that makes excellent multi-bit screwdrivers. Their non-ratcheting drivers are made in USA, but their ratcheting ones are made in Canada. They are the manufacturer of the LTT screwdriver.

So far, no! :LOL:

Very nice!

The new Craftsman acetate drivers (Taiwan) are quite good. They look great, they actually fit the screws they are labled for, which I couldn't always say about Sears Craftsman. The price is hard to beat. However they also have the same issues that the classic drivers had. The Phillips drivers...

As far as I'm concerned, SK is dead. The current tools are just Duratech in Green.

This is the way.

Knipex, NWS, Klein, Channellock, and many others, including Snap-On have a reputation for high quality tools. So if one breaks, it is noticed more than some no-name Chinesium brand. Nobody cares if some randome-letter Amazon/ebay brand breaks on the first use, because half of them are junk in...

That is even more awesome.

Good work on researching and fixing the issue. We (as a society) are too quick to trash something, and buy a new replacement. That's a testament to how well we really have it. That wasn't always an option, and for some, it still isn't. Plus, you gained some knowledge, satisfaction, and a working...

My advice: Get the best tools you can afford, but don't put yourself in a financial hole. Snap-on is great, but you'll end up in debt with them for years, if not decades if you are not careful. Nothing wrong with Harbor Freight if you are just starting out. Ignore all the "brands" they have...

I have a standing offer. LOL. They are mostly Old Craftsman, Black and Decker (back when they were an industrial brand), DeWalt, and a few others. Some with metal housings. Unfortunately, the inventory control specialist is...difficult to work with at times.
