It looks like Petzl Pixa Z1 would be my choice today. Very similar to the pixa 3 but with with approx 4x the burn time :headscrat Well, burn time isn't a problem I have with the pixa3 but four times better can't hurt. :)...

Our shop has been buying these lights for the guys. I think this "Scangrip" brand is primarily European but perhaps they are sold under different names in the US. This is rather nice worklight for repair work. It's light and sits well on the head, not bulky at all and gives a nice even...

Needless to say I agree. I am glad you like yours. My first pixa is 6 or 7 years old and has mostly been retired from professional work. It still works fine but the headband is stretched too much. Probably due to washing it at too high temperature. I thought it was expensive when I bought it -...

Old thread. :) I second what is said above about the 1250K gun. It's a great tool. I think aircats are really decent overall.

More ideas perhaps: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=421365

ATF or just motor oil in a rug, not as nasty as one might think and works quite well - far better than WD40 for example. For this one perhaps lanolin based stuff, like Fluid Film. I would however not spray F.F directly on it - it creates a "thick" film, somewhat difficult to clean off right...

If you don't use your taps and dies much perhaps it would be best to put them in a sealed plastic box. Put oily rug at the bottom of the box and the tools on top. Wouldn't be too messy when you have to grab them. And perhaps it wouldn't matter since many jobs when they are used aren't very clean...

Yes ATF seems to be very good for this purpose. It creeps very well too. I used a mix of ATF and grease inside the closed frame-rails on my heavily modified snow rig. It's a Nissan and known rust bucket. Trying to prolong it's life I pumped a gallon of this mix into the frame back in 2011...

It may sound too simple but I have very good experience using ATF or motor oil in a rag to wipe down tools and even my guns when I hunted in the rain or at sea. I use clean dry rag after and leave them with hardly noticeable film. Surprisingly clean and gives good protection. Much better than WD40.

Impressive - all of it! :thumbup: I hope all is well and you share more of your amazing place and projects. *bump*

I have two prybars from Wilde and 3 retaining ring pliers. If shipping cost from the US wasn't so prohibitive I would probably own every tool they make.

I did image search for Klein MM2000 and It looks like it's made by Brymen. From the top of my head, because I know them; here is Brymen 257S for comparison. If so you have a fine meter and you have to do some serious electronics work to gain something from getting a "better" one. Few...

I have some pairs for installing flywheels. Frequently the bolts are renewed so the material is already on hand.

IR2145 has very good power to weight ratio and is a nice gun. I tried Milwaukee Fuel 3/4" ..something.. 2 years ago. I was very happy that gutless turd wasn't mine.

:headscrat I don't get this comparison. 6mm bolt with 5mm hex head, well, It doesn't have a head. outside circle diameter for 5mm hex is 5,77.. mm - so less than the shank. Not a real world example except perhaps for set screws. A quick search didn't find a 6mm fastener with smaller head than...

Is it possible the situation is as follows. X size fastener of grade 12.9 requires torque Y. You can select standard (meaning outside) hex head of size 10mm or I-Torx T30. Both support torque Y. T30 is smaller and everyone in the engineering department is happy with it. However the 10mm head...

I work on larger Euro Trucks. Mostly around transmissions and engines. In my opinion the situation is a joke. Their hex sizes are all over the place and you can find all possible sizes on the same engine + I and E-torx. I think they should just throw in the towel and ask the Japanese to send...

I work on "bigger stuff" and use impacts in 1/2" frequently. Here is my reasoning for using impact sockets in general. 1) Impact wrenches wear out sockets and extensions. I prefer to keep my chrome tight and move the wear and tear over to the impact gear. 2) regular Impact sockets remove...

I have one spare RRH6 hammer laying around, I bought it off Ebay not working. Unfortunately It had suffered some nasty **** in the Air supply damaging the vibration dampening system so it's only in semi-working condition. Since we have 3 others this one will become parts for the others if...
