Some of you won't like this thread because it's not a shop tool. But it's a tool I wish I had purchased 30 years ago! If I had, I could have afforded more Snap-on in my box, with the money I'd saved. It's a FlowBee hair cut attachment for the shop vac. Wasn't cheap ($116), but my first...

Nothing new or earth-shaking about this old tip, but I just "re-remembered" it and it's working well for me, saving me money and space. I've been running out of storage space for small hardware, drill bits, end mills, lock pins, etc. Instead of buying new drawers/bins/boxes and whatnot, with...

Could someone who owns a Gearwrench ratcheting wrench in 1/4", and a chapman 1/4" bit (the kind with the ball detent), tell me if they work well together? Would these two in combination make a nice offset ratcheting screwdriver? This (but in 1/4"): Plus this: ... does it work as a...

What is (was) the most dangerous tool in your shop? What tool(s) do you approach with the utmost respect, taking extra caution not to sustain bodily injury? For me it used to be a radial arm saw, but that's long gone. The for a while I'd say it was my paint gun (vapor, fumes) but I don't paint...

Someone posted this ebay sale here on GJ -- whomever you were, thank you! -- I purchased a set of these 10 ton Blackhawk beasties for $50 and picked them up here in Vernon (Los Angeles), saving the shipping. Outstanding items, new old stock made in USA heavy duty stands...and the friendly seller...

Are there any Australian made tools? If the answer is 'no,' then what do you mates use? What was that adjustable wrench that Mad Max carried?

Confession: I purchased my tool boxes long before I discovered GJ. Purchased some Cman quiet glide boxes. Don't have the money to upgrade, and some of the drawers are starting to push hard. Should I lube the slides, and what should I use?

My 50s vintage Proto Pebble Field set of combos is missing the 1-1/8 wrench, and I frequently need it. If you happen to own a spare, or see one for sale, please remember me!

Now that I have a basic understanding of the various types of S-on driver handles (http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75662), I'm curious, what's your favorite?

[EDIT] looks like the conversation has shifted back to the other thread at http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75662 so I'm following up there.] Snap-on's PowerGrip Plus handle style, the hand-filling square hard-handle with the "curves" in it, that's very popular here at...

'Modern' Generations of Snap-on Driver Handles This thread has morphed into an attempt to create a timeline for 'modern' Snap-on handles, so I'm moving this information to the top. Your help is solicited to nail down dates. If you see errors or can add detail please post! Thanks...

Spyderco recently came out with their little-longer evolution of the popular Caly, now called the Caly 3.5. Through connections, I snagged two at the price of $115 each. One for me, one for somebody on GJ. Add +5 shipping. Japanese VG-10 stainless steel developed for the horticultural industry...

I see that Lee Valley is selling a chelation-style* concentrate that makes 5 liters of solution for $27. You can get 4 liters of EOR at HF for $20 minus 20% so the price isn't very competitive w shipping. But they also make a chelation-style rust remover gel, which is for objects you can't dip...

Have to comment on this inexpensive tool set sold by General. They call it a Hook and Probe set, I call it a small Pick set. Only 7" long. First set was so handy, a couple years later I bought a second set. I've worn down the tip of one pick with use, but have not broken any so far. Nice...

Pompous meaning: boastful, better-than-thou, vain, self-important, snooty, puffed-up, condescending, an ostentatious display of dignity and importance. A hilarious post in another thread got me to thinking about the pomposity of certain tools...do we recognize pompous tools when we see them...
