    New shop AC now running, but..

    Since I skipped ahead to the end if you have overhead space you should check into some overhead fans to spread the air. Not saying you have to go look at hunter fans or big *** fans but I know Northern tool has some that are like 8 to 10 feet across for very reasonable prices (for what they...

    grinding tig tungsten

    I just keep a flap wheel disc for tungstens only and never use it on surface prep. Also HF sells a really small grinder with like a 2 or 3 inch wheel that I used to use if you want something more stable and not risk chucking your tungsten across the bench or floor. Might be worth it to just...

    Floor Jack Pad

    An affordable 3d print would be easy to fit the ticket. If you can design it and have a friend print it out of TPU that is your best solution. If you have a 3d printer then design it and print it yourself. I made one my self in design but have not bothered to print it yet because all my...

    Icon Sockets: Yes or No?

    I took a closer look at some pictures and now I remember what it was with the deep sockets. It has to do with the fact that the socket only has a nut well at the front portion of the socket instead of going all the way down the inside of the socket like most deep well sockets do. Not a deal...

    Icon Sockets: Yes or No?

    The only problem I noticed others pointed out on their deep sockets, is there are no 12 point options and that the depth on some of the smaller sizes is OK for the fastener but sometimes the shaft sizes in the well do not cooperate with the actual size of the stud or bolt. Seems like an...

    Solar power grab

    Battery is the way to go. I have a non battery system right now and I more than break even but would like to put that surplus back where I can use it. I just need to invest the time and $ to see if I can walk it back to a battery system now

    Gutters

    If it has a tailgate see if the tailgate will fold over onto the deck (or come off easily) and then strap them down with a cargo strap. Put some 2x4 dunnage under one portion and that way the cargo strap will clench it down with some tension.

    Icon Sockets: Yes or No?

    Sure if you need the no skip sizes and what not and want to pay the price. I can't speak as to if it is a good price (other than amazing compared to the tool truck stuff) That said I inherited my dad's craftsman that have been taking a beating since the late 60's and maybe you can compare...

    Craftsman Professional Air Compressor 919.16533

    So just a thought in regards to personal safety. Are you aware of how well it was drained and maintained when not in use? Is your intent to use it? Being from 1997 if he had it plugged in and never really drained it you might have some rust issues in the tank that could be a problem for you...

    Ear Protection: Air Pods Pro 2

    The EQ does make a difference. I am not into too much bass but overall the volume on the QC’s was what did it for me. Maybe the apple buds just have too low a limit. I was in the service and have some hearing issues but to me the quietness of the QC’s was greater in places where the apple...

    Ear Protection: Air Pods Pro 2

    Depends on how close the over the ear cans fit to your ear. The apple one stick out a fair amount. I have also tried getting them to fit under a motorcycle helmet without being able to

    Hi everyone. I am looking for any information someone might have on larger ceiling fans that are also mounted very close to the ceiling. I’ve seen a coupe of 9 fit units and similar sizes at Northern Tool but they all seem to hang down about a foot. I’m limited To an 8 foot ceiling in my...

    Ear Protection: Air Pods Pro 2

    I have a pair of appl earbud version 2 pro and they are pretty good for automatically switching to noise blocking if there is loud or high pitch sound going on. I was really impressed with them but I travel a lot and have used the Hilton chain exclusively for the most part and as a result I...

    Looking for an American metalwork teacher

    If I could offer, on youtube you should check into Ron Covell's channel. It can be more one on one than you suspect. You can learn a lot by watching a master, having an explanation of what you are doing and how it impacts your work surface, and then going out into the shop and experimenting...

    LARGE PRINT Digital Multimeter?

    I have a Klein CL800 and the letters are large enough for me to see without glasses. Not sure what your vision correction situation is. I have to wear 1.5 readers for anything closer than the end of my arm (choice I made with cataract surgery was to see the road better at distances and my home...

    Need smallest 3/8" Cordless ratchet

    The Milwauke M12 ratchet (non fuel) is probably the smallest form factor overall but they have a fuel model that has an extended neck that is much more slender so it may technically fit in a few tighter places.

    Older Snap on box for sale with some tools --- $350?? Let's talk and see

    I've got an older Snap-On box that was my dad's. I'm not trying to get rich so much as get shop space back. I think it is from around late 60's or maybe early 70's but pretty sure he got it before he got me. I can only remember back so far. I can't find a tag on it anywhere for the ID or...
