DO you have to look "Pretty" while working? Do you have the mentality that it's not what you do, but how good you look doing it? Seriously, if the jacket functions well, give it a brake. Who cares what it looks like.

What store is that?

Leatherman Wave, needle nose, and fingernail clippers for close work.

I got the Craftsman Camo Jacket for 49.88 at Sears. Seems to work just fine.

I gotta get me some Astro dental floss!!!

Natural Gas lines? I have no clue. EDIT: Well now I read "Application: CGA-346 ( Air )" sorry. Still no clue.

Depends on how much you use it. I have a Bostich roofing nailer that blew seals that I hardly ever use. But the kit to fix it was $28. For me that made sense even if coil nails for it became hard to get. I've used it less than 10 times in 10 years. If you are using it every day and can get...

Thanks. I didn't know they were called oval head. So far I have been using appliance paint in a bottle that looks like "white out".

On a side note....does anyone have a source of 2" or bigger painted head outlet screws? We install granite back splash and the screws are too short to reach the box. These are for phone jack boxes. No outlet or switch inside to screw to. Thanks.

Exactly. That's why it's a problem. Decora plates have the screws at the top and bottom of the plate.

Well if we used smarter tile guys I wouldn't have this problem.

They look good. I can't tell if I can actually shear a screw to 1/8" with those. I'll have to look at them in the store.

Sometimes it does matter. Small tolerances between where the screw goes into the outlet and the tile behind, sometimes the threads if cut at a slight angle won't hold.

The threaded length sometimes is 1/8" when I cut them.

I have to cut wall plate screws down on most jobs to put in wall plate for switches against tile. I have to cut them down between 1/8" to 1/4" depending on the tile. (really short) I have been using a cheap pair of harbor freight wire strippers but it seems to shear them off at an angle. I...

I know I'll probably get flamed for this but I use the 12 volt Nextec Lithium from Craftsman. I have the impact, drill, right angle impact, air inflator, vacuum, multi-tool, LED Light, heated coat, and they work great for 99% of the jobs I work on (pickup work for remodeling). The guy I work...

^^^this!

I use these. The 26' tape is metric and standard. The 12' is made in the Dominican Republic. Not sure where the others are made.

Brilliant!

I was thinking the same thing. Get a set of Craftsman and grind away.
