    Husky Ratcheting T Handle + 26 bits @ HD, $3.

    Hi Steve! Are you guys not getting the webpage to load? It still shows $2.88 each, for me. However, both are now listed as "out of stock online." (They were in stock when I posted the link.) Perhaps they had a limited number, and sold through them? I'll mark the thread EXPIRED. (Wouldn't it...

    Alternative Tool storage

    Desk drawers. You can find old desks that people are tossing as they upgrade. Take off the bank of drawers left and right, stack them, and you have a 5-foot high bank of drawers.

    where to warranty knipex?

    Talking to me? I did send direct, and there was loads of drama. Or are you saying "don't discuss on GJ?" Why not? Gag rule? Hell, it was in the middle of a discussion of Knipex warranty. All due respect, Monte, but you don't need to circle the wagons for your brand. This is long time past...

    where to warranty knipex?

    I had a wild ride with Knipex a couple years ago, with a broken pliers, which I returned to the distributor. I mentioned it here on GJ and a Knipex representative (apparently the guy who actually inspects the returned tools) lit into me--here, on this forum--gave me guff, sarcasm, implied I was...

    Kershaw leek knife (USA-made)

    I don't own but one Kershaw, but I really have to disagree with the above. A wharncliffe or modified wharncliffe blade, such as a leaf blade, isn't designed for stabbing, it's designed so you can control the tip of the blade with ease. Your most popular Exacto blade, the #11, also has a straight...

    Anybody have a "working reference" tattoo?

    Oh, it's all good, man, I about choked laughing at your response, and I certainly helped derail it farther. What's still got me laughing is the idea that your depth gauge is always the same length! Mine doesn't work that way, but yours must! What a man! Not sure this is really a "legitimate"...

    Anybody have a "working reference" tattoo?

    Some interesting body mod ideas here. Implanting magnets in skin to hold stuff. One guy has LED lights in his nose. That could come in handy! Until you sneezed.

    Anybody have a "working reference" tattoo?

    I know, odd question. Your body as a tool? Curious if anyone has ever gotten a "working reference" tattoo, such as a ruler, or bolt head sizes, or perhaps a table of speeds and feeds, or a protractor, etc. I can imagine it would be pretty handy to hold your arm up to a bolt and match to the...

    WorkMates...Sizes and Models

    Correction, I do not have the Fat Max MPC. I have the Stanley Portable Clamping Table, and it is 34" tall (not my photo). Pretty much the same as the Fat Max without the "dolly" option. Appears to be out of production. Got mine in 2007. I wonder if the Fat Max MPC is the replacement for the...

    machining bits

    If they're sharp, a great deal. If well used, then someone is just taking out the trash. Need to inspect in person. I see mill bits all the time at the local swap meet; some are like new, others have been used down to the nubbin. I have no idea who buys those.

    Circ Saw Upside Down in Plywood for Portable Table Saw?

    Hm, thought I answered each of those questions above. 1. Yes using fence, 2. Not for cutting sheet goods, 3. turn off with switch cord I mentioned in post #23 above, and 4. for useage as stated in post #23 above, particularly with finish trim sorts of challenges. The guide doesn't seem nearly...

    Circ Saw Upside Down in Plywood for Portable Table Saw?

    Thanks for all the replies, guys. Good alternatives and discussion. I should have specified a bit more about my use for the "upside down circ saw": (1) I have a table saw in the home shop so anything needing high accuracy done there. (2) This "field expedient" idea is just that-- the...

    Circ Saw Upside Down in Plywood for Portable Table Saw?

    But I haven't a riving knife on my 1990s era Delta Contractor's either, and I always stay the heck out of the way of the line of fire. Never had a body hit yet (finger hits yes, ow.) Oh, I should have told you: I want to do this to either a PC or a Bosch, both of which have ROUND arbors. Round...
