I know, odd question. Your body as a tool? Curious if anyone has ever gotten a "working reference" tattoo, such as a ruler, or bolt head sizes, or perhaps a table of speeds and feeds, or a protractor, etc. I can imagine it would be pretty handy to hold your arm up to a bolt and match to the...

EXPIRED. (Husky Ratcheting T Handle + 26 bits @ HD, $3.) http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202523584#.UDaO1Y6WUbA Definitely less expensive than my S-O T-handle. Also ratcheting screwdriver with sockets for $5...

On the job site there have been several times I've wished I had a portable table saw, but I haven't the room to store one during down-times. Has anyone here turned a regular circular saw (aka "skil saw") upside down and bolted it into some plywood for a makeshift tablesaw? Couple clamps on a...

Screw the whales. Save the gauges. Today I mislaid my regular tire gauge so started to eyeball a hand-me-down from my grandfather, this venerable gauge of cast aluminum and brass. It's a "Tru-Flate Tire Gauge 711," marked reverse "Druge Bros. Mfg. Co. Okland CAL, USA." Filthy (but cleaned up...

I finally ordered a hacking knife -- need to take out a broken pane of glass, and I've read this is the tool with which to get the old putty out. If you don't own one, it's sort of a hybrid between a putty knife and a sheath knife. Meant to be hammered on. Anyway it showed up new and shiny, and...

Looks like a good deal since it includes a set of spade bits. http://www.lowes.com/pd_108258-67702-115006_0__?Ntt=108258&productId=3521322

I have a Snap-on Ratcheting T-handle Screwdriver, SSDMRT1 (red) that I really like (short shaft); no other tool allows me to get a phillips head screw so tight, so quickly. The other day I needed a longer shaft, so I gave the short shaft on the T-handle a good tug and it came out. I had...

Has anyone had a chance to use the "Striker Hand Tools Magnetic Light Mine" at work? If so what was your opinion of it? Gimmick or Useful? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MXZA7M/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Also, curious about this one too: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C29AFS/?tag=atomicindus08-20

What's a Mill Knife for? Obviously a knife used in a mill, but for what purpose?

Trying to locate a squeak...those of you who have used Mechanic's Stethoscopes, do they work well? Can you recommend one?

"China’s leaders have mapped out a plan to wean the world’s second-largest economy off its overreliance on exports to the United States and European Union, its two largest markets where growth has slowed to near zero and threatens to disappear altogether. Growth at China’s teeming factories...

I need a double open ended Durochrome 18-19mm. Thanks!

Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out if I can run my existing refrigerator on my existing Honda EU2000i generator. Likely not, but I'm puzzled about something. The mfgr of my refrigerator, GE, says my 110v fridge needs a 15 amp breaker and 3000-4500 watts of power. That doesn't compute. 3000...

Sailor Friend Asking for Diesel Help I have an urgent issue, I need help from mechanics familiar with diesel. My college roommate Reeves is single-handing (sailing alone) from San Francisco to Tahiti. He's currently mid-Pacific, another two weeks before he makes landfall if all goes well. He...

I have not been posting so much here on GJ as normal, because I’ve taken a detour into understanding LEDs...particularly headlamps. I recently picked up a quality headlamp...then another, then another... and they are now some of my very favorite tools, they makes everything else go better and...

It finally happened...we got to just over 100 responses on this survey (102 to be exact), so here are the results. For question #2, any tool that received less than 10 responses was removed. Less than ten responses is just too small to make a valid judgment, and I'd feel irresponsible publishing...
