    SK magnetic bit socket not strong enough

    Heck yes you're expecting too much!! Don't think the SK bit socket has a magnet! It's a bit holder not a screw holder! http://www.skhandtool.com/bit-sockets/44498.aspx

    What type of rope for a swing

    Use a twisted nylon rope 5/8" or larger... Don't wrap it around your willie! Poly won't knot. Manila and sisal will deteriorate.

    Wilton BASH Sledge Hammer

    Don't forget about Vaughan. They have reworked their fiberglass handles to be similar to the Wilton. 8 lb x 36" should retail for around $40. Vaughan's heads are made in India, but the handles are made in the USA. You're gonna be hard pressed to find a sledge made 100% here in the US. *****!

    Facom ratchet apart

    Ideal Industries now owns SK Hand Tool. They also own Western Forge, and Pratt Read screwdrivers. They make 80% of the made in USA screwdrivers and adjustable wrenches out there. That Facom deal went away back in '08 or '09 and now I believe Stanley / Black and Decker owns Facom.

    Pocket knife serrations

    Lansky makes some nice systems for sharpening your serrated knifes once you get a general edge. This one is more of a field sharpener, and they do have others. I might try this tonight too... a little project to consume my time, and we all have junk knives laying around!

    Novice Drill and Drill bit advice?

    Any manufacture can make a gold drill, it's really the heat treatment that counts. Titanium nitride dipped is actually better for stringy materials like aluminum, fiberglass, plastics and wood. The gold I think you're talking about is like what's on Norseman's 190-AG series. That is a Nitro...

    1954 Delta Homecraft. Just a quick snap of her after I got done working last night. I was pumped to post something... I'll post some more after I get her cleaned up! I picked up everything you see on the bench including the bench for $100
