    Newest addition to my mancave

    Everything was pretty much stacked in the cabinet under the machine. Here is what I got for the drill/mill.

    Newest addition to my mancave

    I work for a big international manufacturing company that applies pretty strict rules about 5S (basically cleaning and organizing), which means that usually everything that does not comply 100% with this policy, gets thrown out. So couple of days ago I was wandering outside the building and...

    Williams USA - Somebody needs to get their QC in line

    Exactly - Before buying the USA made set in question I already had another Taiwan made Williams set which is flawless. So If I'm paying 3 times the price for USA made set I at least expect to be better than the overseas set in certain areas. It was sold directly by Amazon - it was the last set...

    Williams USA - Somebody needs to get their QC in line

    Mine came from Amazon. Unfortunately it is over 30 days so I can't send it back anymore. Another thing strange is that the box carries date 03/29/13 and it was the last set in stock. Didn't state this in my original post, but the two extensions compared are not same drive size. USA made is...

    Williams USA - Somebody needs to get their QC in line

    Yes, it was less than same Snap On set and yes, I was expecting Snap On quality (maybe a notch less, but at least 100% functionality) and a good feeling about buying USA made tools instead of overseas import. Unfortunately I didn't get any of them. I currently own over 20k in Snap-On tools and...

    Williams USA - Somebody needs to get their QC in line

    Guys... I think you might want to also read post #2. I had to edit the post because GJ doesn't allow more than 7 pictures per post. I'm fine with one mishap per set... but so many?

    Williams USA - Somebody needs to get their QC in line

    Shortly after receiving the set, I saw one of the sockets was inserted upside down into the foam. My OCD of course doesn't allow to have one socket upside down so I immediately turned it the right way... but wait a second... WTF? The stamping is on the hexagonal end of the socket instead of...

    Williams USA - Somebody needs to get their QC in line

    I recently bought Williams MSB-18HFTB USA made set to use as my emergency tool set in my car. I didn't want to spend the money for a Snap-on set, but I heard that USA made Williams sockets are the same as Snap On made sockets, which makes sense as Williams is owned by Snap On. The set came in a...

    Impact gun oil

    Should the oil be something special (Synthetic as suggested by stickman) or can I just use 5w-30 that I have plenty?

    Impact gun oil

    That's going to be a bit difficult... because as I stated the inside was dry when I opened it.

    Impact gun oil

    You probably read the thread title and thought "Oh no, not this again" However this one is with a twist. I recently got a free 3/4 inch Uryu impact gun. It has no grease fittings, however there is a plug on top of the gun with OIL stamped into housing. I opened it up and it was pretty dry...

    No clue really. Actually all above 20 mm are a bit mixed. I live in Mexico, but was recently visiting my parents in Europe and got this set there. http://www.uniortools.com/

    dremel quality?

    After my second 4000 series Dremel burned up I switched to Proxxon and unless I get Dremel for free, there is no way I'm switching back. Proxxon feels much more solid and couple of steps above Dremel in quality.

    Harbor Freight 20 ton press is changing - Major Changes - Info inside

    I have been trying to get this press for my shop and I went to two stores. First one (Southaven MS) had 20T (60603) and 12T (60604) model on display. In the storage they only had 32879 and 33497, and they said they cant open the boxes to see the color, so I assumed they are older orange ones...

    Reply to post 16300 I had a cheap ADF helmet (Harbor Freight style) and after 3 years the battery inside went flat. I repaired it, but I still wanted something better and I think Speedglas is as good as it gets. Love the side windows... I mostly do MIG (sheetmetal repair). Ok... new stuff...
