    A good pair of sheet metal shears? (Aviation Snips)

    I have found wiss to be my goto, but I do own some midwest and bluebird snips from yesteryear that work really well.

    Craftsman Tap and Die Set Price Check

    CL Link Good deal? Are these the sets that people on here are referring to when they talk of the old days of Cman Tap and dies? And Gone, but the listing still exists for the time being. Is this a fair price?

    Filter/Regulator Question

    Im no fan of line oilers, exception being on power feeds where the only lines getting dirty will feed that machine alone. I put a drop or two in before using the tool myself. I know on my sand blaster, you dont want anything restricting flow, if it could be fed directly from the tank via a 2"...

    Snap-On AFR20 Warrenty Question

    Its the pawl that is broken, I'll poke around though and see whats out there to make his set whole. The newer version RAT72(?), seems very cheap all things considered. Thanks for your help!

    Filter/Regulator Question

    I agree with this, I've never been a fan of lubricators simply because I dont like oil in lines I may spray paint from. I concur 3/8 is the way to go if you only have one reg.

    Snap-On AFR20 Warrenty Question

    Thanks for looking Shaun, found a pic from a few months back of someone else's if it jogs any memories. Looks like I may have to get him a 5/8" gearwrench for his set and cannibalize this handle for a ratchet.

    Snap-On AFR20 Warrenty Question

    So I was talking with my father the other day and mentioned I had some SO stuff I need to warrenty, he asked if I could throw this wrench in with my stuff to get it fixed as well. It's an interesting piece, a 12pt 5/8" ratcheting boxend on a hardhandle (apparently for Low profile sockets)...

    New Volkswagen Amarok (Small Pick up Truck) gets 34mpg. (not available in US).

    I agree 100%, US emmisions are too restrictive to allow these types of vehicles across the whole US...thanks CARB. See also, Ford Global Ranger with 4 and 5 cyl Turbo diesel, Toyota hi-lux 4 and 5 cyl TD's etc etc Never in the US, why would you want a practical, fuel economic vehicle? In the...

    What is it?

    Bought this at a garage sale this weekend thinking it was a center punch, no idea what it is upon closer inspection. It's ~1/2" round and ~6" long, the tip has wrench flats and appears to be a alloy (maybe beryllium? it looks the same color as some beryllium studs I have at work). There are no...

    sidchrome vs kincrome

    In my time down there got the chance to turn some sidchrome gear, spanners, shifters, and rats. I will say they are nice tools, not sure what vintage they were but the rats especially have a that cool frankenstein toggle, they were brutally coarse ratchets and the hard handles seemed to suffer...

    Craftsman 14 Drawer 40" Quiet Glide - Shoddy Quality rant

    Did the clearance tag list scratches as the reason for return? Usually theyre pretty good about explaining why it came back. Its a nice looking box from the front

    Quick what is the brand?

    Thats a steal, even better with a mid box. There is no question regardless of branding that I would buy it just for added drawers. I bought a very crappy box last week for 10$ with a similar listing story but it was a cheap box that will end up as part of a workbench

    Lowes Closeouts

    Picked up a 8 pc metric GW set for $25, and six or so wobble sockets in various lengths for ~$12 Wanted to buy the USA kobalt ratcheting wrenches but they felt like garbage, Im very shocked how junkie they are compared to armstrong which I thought was also danahar?

    Craftsman C-clip pliers

    And stride/imperial manufactur them for channel-lock, and bluepoint among others. The 2nd link works well, I have a small and large pair and they seem robust. Im with the poster above, being non-daily use I cant justify a full set of solid tip pliers or the box realestate.

    Small compressor recommendations

    I have a seneco 2gal that has a lot of hours on it and it keeps on kicking. Have used it a lot for running a tire inflator, air nailer, etc.

    No wonder Sears is in trouble!

    Its how it works, I cant imagine they're losing money on this. I cant think of a business that would operate at a loss to maintain their warrenty, incidentally probably why Sears no longer lifetime warrenties clicker torque wrenchs. I had a neighbor who's garage burned down, Im reasonably...

    My 5" cman is mounted using through bolts through the work surface and through a 1/4 steel plate thats then lagged back into the bottom of the bench further out. It is very close to the edge.
