    That's the way they come. I think it's from hardening the edge to make it last longer.

    8 Point Screws on Enclosed Trailer, similar to torx Bit?

    I've got the same screws on my trailer. Made me do a double take the first time I took a look at them. My problem was loosening them. I ended up using an easy out for removal and substituting TEKS screws for the oddball screws.

    Who has the most screwdrivers on Garage Journal?

    I love your Grace wood handled screwdrivers. When I sold tools, radiator shops liked wood handles because they gripped better and slipped less than plastic ones with hands covered in radiator fluid.

    How to properly use impact wrench to remove drain plugs?

    I'd stay away from an impact wrench loosening or tightening a drain plug and you're playing with fire. I got a tool from Matco (i think i paid $14.00) that has a screwdriver handle, very flexible shaft and at the business end, a magnet and two raised pieces of metal to locate it properly after...

    What are the greatest bug zappers out there?

    Look for an old "Mr Insectocutor" (seriously) brand of zapper. Built to last.

    1983 Craftsman (Waterloo) tool carts I've never seen

    I bought that 1hp grinder at a flea market for $60.00. No water trough though. Past up a Rockwell grinder at the flea, sold for $20.00. All beat up but i later saw it run. Smooth as silk. Dents in my *** from kicking myself.

    DR chippers

    Whenever I see pics of these homeowner level chippers, the large branch being shoved into the machine is always devoid of the smaller branches.

    adjustable wrench

    I love the old heavily chromed Snap On adj wrenches. The side of the wrench your hand rests on was noticeably wider than the underside and the jaws operated so smoothly. The wrench looked high quality too.

    How to prevent adjustable wrenches from locking up?

    Using the adjustable wrench as an informal hammer is a nice way to lock up the wrench. I've bought used adj wrenches and have had to grind away on the open end to allow the jaws to close all the way. C'mon man!

    Favorite screwdriver.

    Stanley must have made Torx screwdrivers at one time. I have a USA-made t50 from them.

    Anyone familiar with easydriver or screwball tools?

    That Easydriver was a noisy thing to use. I thought it did work great though.

    P&H Welder WNT80

    I think she's asking way too much for that welder opened up to the weather. She says it'sa been outside two months which may really mean 2 years. Wave 150.00 at her and maybe she'll bite. Some people just place too much value on something that doesn't run may not work.
