    Everyone posts up their fab successes, how about a failure?

    FWIW I recently came the idea of using some 25# bags of #9 lead shot. The original shot bags are not very good so I bought one of the cheap HF black cloth tool bags for each bag of shot (the shot is still in the original bag but inside of the HF bag for protection). The carrying handle makes it...

    whats a fair price to pay for a

    A Diversion 165 Tig welder is a whole different animal than what ya'll have linked to. FWIW I missed out on a Diversion 165 last year for $900 with a partial tank of gas. The Craigslist seller said he was going to be gone for a while on Sunday afternoon and would call me when he got home...

    School me on gun safes...

    Fit and finish on the Liberty seemed a little better. The storage system on the door for pistols was a lot better constructed IMHO. I think either one would get the job done, though. Fire rating was very close. IIRC the Liberty was made in Utah and the Superior in Mexico. I agree about getting...

    School me on gun safes...

    I've been looking too. I have looked at Champion and Liberty. Liberty seems a little nicer to me even though it is a couple of hundred more for the similar model.

    Pocket Hose

    We've bought a couple of them. They are cheesy like some have said. But they do have their utility. I have finally convinced the wife that they are not at all tolerant of tugging on either end like she does with a regular hose. With that limitation in mind they are great for watering her plants...

    Union Pacific Job Comments

    Me=10years with MP/UP and the wife = 32yrs with UP. Rail management abuses their workers. It been that way for years and years. They go out of their way to make sure you understand that you are nothing more to them than any other consumable item that they have to purchase. Once have used you...

    Cordless Circular Saw? Anyone got one?

    I got a cordless Milwaukee that was included in a M18 set I bought. I honestly didnt think I would use a 6 1/2 inch circular saw. Now that I have actually used it I really like it. I haven't even plugged in the 7.5 inch Skil in since.

    We saw a wooden block floor in a printing press factory in Germany. I asked about it and they said that with a floor like that they can easily reconfigure the floor should they need to move lathes,mills or other machines around. However the main reason they said they used it was to help save...

    Where To Purchase Snap-on Tools?

    I would suggest at least trying to meet up with a dealers truck. For warranty and BOGO specials at least. I had a dealer that I met up with for years. The one that took over after he retired made it plain at our first meeting that he didnt think it was worth any effort on his part to let me...
