    I do need to get a new Lock N' Lube, mine disappeared. It got taken off a grease gun, and put who the heck knows where. Didn't know those fitting identifiers existed. Guess I'llh ave to get one. Curious, did British tractors use BSW/Whitworth grease fittings? Been looking at old, cheap beater...

    Stanley England 10-598. I've had the 10-049 (its American cousin) in some form of another for probably 20 years now--first was a chrome-plated model of my great-Grandpa's, and that one had a lock failure (right after being buried behind the retaining wall where I often would reload weed...

    Bought a Stihl SEA 20 from my dealer as it included not only one battery, but two (and the charger, not shown...) thanks to a free battery promo they were running. Got it to clean out the car (and do hose duty and mess/dry spill cleanup around the house-my trusty 40 year old Eureka doesn't have...

    The most bad *** tool is...

    The Jaws of Life? In my use, it's the big hammer followed by the big pipe wrench. When all else fails, and I can't run air/electric, chances are, a big crowbar, 8 lb. sledge, and 3-foot Ridgid Pipe Wrench WILL get it loose.

    Glove recommendation needed

    I have some really thick "***** proof" gloves my local pharmacy mostly sells to EMS and police. Those suckers turn into Swiss Cheese a lot slower than whatever cheap blue ones I normally buy a lot of. But, not cheap...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Well, next month I've budgeted for an Ender 3 or anything in its price range at $250 or under (maybe THIS month if I put some cash I keep in my wallet back in the account), so looks like ever since I started getting curious about 3D printing looking at my community college's Makerbot way back in...

    Guessing these are forged steel, and not plastic as they are on many cheapie sets? Thinking about 3D printing a set as one of the first things I do with one.

    Tool Truck Equivalent Tool Boxes?

    I saw a model of that display Snap-On used to sell built into a clock. Looks like they actually did it!
