This storm did a lot of damage. I took my daughter to her gymnastics practice and we passed by a neighborhood lake with a pontoon boat that broke loose from it's dock and was blown across the lake into the opposing shore! There were three trees laid over in the street in 4 miles! We'll see the...

Drive home from work today:

Sorry, no pics as it was years ago. We had to grind a cube as perfect as possible. We all learned valuable lessons about cleanliness, dressing the wheel, etc. It seemed so easy; plop the metal on the magnetic chuck and wear your arm out! Nope! I remember handing my cube to the instructor and he...

I was thinking how one of these would be useful for that very task.

Personally, I'd leave it as is. You have half of it for clamping and half for general work. Any setup you do you will want to align/square up independently from the holes in the table. My 2'x3' table was laser cut and I don't rely on it for accurate setups due to the nature of the hardware that...

I love Copper State (where I buy my hardware), but they only sell by the box. They also tend to not have a lot of their grade 8 in stock at each location.

I didn't.....I'm saving those for when I need white glove service.

Me too. 2 kits, one in the tow rig and one in the tool box. Nice kits for the money.

In collge we used to get Telluride season passes. We'd load up the cars and reserve beds at a hostel for a few bucks a night. Living on pizza and beer, we had a blast! Unfortunately, developers made the town "better" and they tore down the hostel. Another badass memory kids these days won't ever...

I had a valve stem go bad (rubber failed) on a beadlock wheel with a 37" tire on it. I didn't want to break down the wheel, so I grabbed one of these kits for a quick, albeit temporary, fix. China for the win! Surprisingly high quality kit at a ridiculous price. In general, ramming a valve...

Wait until you're strapping Baby Bodj in his car seat in the prerunner! He'll probably giggle and then take the best nap of his life!

We use tool rolls made by PRP, Mastercraft, and Boxo in our various off road race cars. The key to keeping a tool roll alive is securing them in place. In our case, they go inside a mounted tool bag along with other supplies (zip ties, tie wire, grease, spare hardware, brake lines, gloves, rags...

My truck's OEM jack works really well for my flatbed (and the truck. Obviously). For my toy hauler I have a wedge jack, but I've yet to have to use it. I always carry a Milwaukee and a breaker bar when I tow a trailer.

Me too. Looking at getting a M12 Milwaukee based on recommendations.

I probably own at least a dozen Dual 80's, and I love the mechanism, but I've always disliked SnapOn's locking flex head setup. I find myself using my locking flex Armstrong 88's as a result. In theory, the Icon G2 is my ideal ratchet. I'll probably give one a try if they come out with an extra...

All the Deutsch connectors are fairly bulky (like Weatherpack), they are just easier to work with and generally more durable. All of our off road race cars use Deutsch connectors (DT series). We actually cut off the Weatherpack connectors from lights and other items and replace them with...

Deutsch with the closed barrel pins make life so much easier. Weatherpack are common, but in my opinion Deutsch are the all around better connectors.

Any info/part number on that cool flex driver?

To answer your question, yes you can. There is usually a factor listed on the torque multiplier (if I remember right) that will help determine your input torque factoring a certain amount of loss. With that said, before I spent the money on a multiplier I would get a bigger torque wrench if...
