Exactly my thought. If you do it right you will not change the temper and if you want to harden it you can. The photo of the first one had rounded corners. It was a mess. I have a Tormex grinder and slow speed grinders. I refurbish the tips on drivers all the time. I use the slow grinder...

There are just no short cuts or easy way of doing things. If designed properly and built rifgt you would not be having problems. As a contractor and architect I feel your pain. I have a 50 inch chest. I have had to dig some very deep trenches to get under buildings. LOL I only do it on property...

The Snap-on dealer that comes around to my farm shop in Indiana balked at replacing broken tools that were not abused. He wanted me to buy expensive testing equipment and things. He would say if you buy this I can get this replaced. I told him where to go. I see him at the local coffee shop...

There are 2 sets listed on Craigslist here in So California. One is $1300 and the other $800. I picked up a full set of Wright 3/4" sockets with swivel, 2 extensions, breaker bar and ratchet last summer for $65. It was form 1979 and still had the packing slip in the box. Only 2 sockets had...

As much as I hate to say it that the HF earthquake is a good 1/2" for the money. I have been using HF impact sockets in my construction business for 25 years and they are like new. The only problem I have with HF is that they skip sizes in all their sets and that bothers me. They don't sell...

Armstrong tools are not cheap when you buy them new. $3 to $4 for those large sockets is a very good price. Not a steal but I would buy them and I am cheap. Nice score

Williams is mostly made in Taiwan. Be ware. The quality of the steel can be different and the so can the fit. Most tool companies have been outsourcing for the past 80 years. Nothing new.

If you don't think you can buy good quality tools for low prices take a look at this set. I don't think you will find it cheaper anywhere. 15 pieces set. 1/4" to 1" http://www.nationaltoolwarehouse.com/15-pc-Fractional-Combination-Wrench-Set-P53768.aspx?gclid=COjTyuOVoL4CFQmDfgodtk0ACg...

I must have 50 pair in all styles and sizes. I buy them used and find most of the for under $3 and $5 to $7 for the 15 inch pump pliers. I think they are great. I have been using them for 50 years. Another good brand if you find them used is Diamond. Top flight tools. They really are...

I have a spare set of 1/2" drive, 12 point deep sockets. I paid $65 new on E bay about 12 years ago. They are made in the USA. I have tried to sell them and I can't get any bites at $100. They are mint and go all the way up to 1-1/4 including the 1-3/16" I have never used them. I have them...

It is a no brainer at your age. Craftsman. Get a complete set of sockets and tools. For a few hundred dollars you can have all your basic tools. It is a good place to start. I have both full lines of Craftsman and Snap-on. While the Snap-on do make many specialty tools that are far much...

So many ways to go. A good little garden tractor with blower is about 5 grand. You can find them used for much less. Walk behind can be hard when you are older and not in good health. I would not go that way. I think I might just have a snow removal service come and do it. Some retired person...

Trailers are $15 per day. Might be a little more. You can put a light hitch on the care and rent a trailer. I have done it for years. Now for the real part. Moving anything this way is illegal. It is down right dangerous. It is stupid, ignorant and only a dolt would try it. This guy...

Where can I buy? How did you get here? Type it in your browser. You will find everyone on the planet who is selling the item you are looking for. Makes one wonder. Too long a lunch break?

Before scrap prices went through the roof because of high demand motors were a dime a dozen. So many used ones were scrapped. You have several options. There are many companies that rebuild motors. They can turn the shaft if need be and put in new bearings. 30 years ago motor rebuilding...

What is a pennie? Peonies are flowers. You have me confused. Did you mean penny? If I am wrong I am sure somewhere on the planet you will be able to barter for flowers and squeeze the hell out of them with a needle nose. I can take most needle nose pliers and bend the ends by...

I have been buying and selling woodworking tools for 50 years. There is no price guide. You will find some dealers on line who know every detail. Their prices are so over the top it is a joke. The antique, collectables market as well as wood working tools is down 40 to 80 percent. Mechanic...

Those things are made in jigs. My bet is you have it assembled improperly. Try turning the pieces around. I am betting on it being right. The drawings are almost always wrong on Chines imports. Some of them are done on a computer then finished by a hand sketch. They are a ****** mess. LOL

First of all you can not run anything larger than a 5 HP. motor on 220V. It is impossible. That is all that it calculates out to. Look at the motor. Look at the amps and you will have your answer. Remember 220V is only 2-110 V lines. It takes less power to run 220V motors. The size wire...

I just got both types form Bondhus. One set of each for myself and one set for one of my sons who is a plant mechanic. He keeps bottling machines repaired as well. they we go 2 different sets of hex wrenches wit ball ends. Regular Allen style and straight handled ones. They are great. They...
