The Tektons are also 30 and 60 degree, but I think everyone else (besides Snap-On/ Cat) makes 15 and 60 degree versions. I was loaned some Snap-Ons to replace mast hoses on the forklift at work, and the offset heads worked a lot better in tight spots than the usual combo wrench open ends.

The extra bin is 7" x 5" x 1-1/2" or so- if that's the size you need, let me know.

Flambeau I think makes small Zerust storage bins like that as well, not sure if they have something close to that size. I've got an extra Husky bin like that holding bulbs for a car we no longer own... I'll double- check the size tonight. If you've got a 2001 Corolla, all the better... :beer:

China is under the impression they own Taiwan; Taiwan and most of the rest of the world don't agree.

Yes, I'd recommend end nips, they worked great for me. I keep them in my tool bag at work and use them frequently for pulling nails, but not often for pulling nails out of molding anymore. To use a hammer for this, you swing the claw into the nail shank on the backside of the molding (so the...

I carried 10" Channellock end nips in a back pocket for 6 or 7 years and pulled thousands of nails with them... looks like they've discontinued the 10" concretors nips, but still offer a few 8" patterns. There's a little bit of a learning curve, especially with skinny finish nails and brads...

Tires aren't great insulators. https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-myths Myth: Rubber tires on a car protect you from lightning by insulating you from the ground. Fact: Most cars are safe from lightning, but it is the metal roof and metal sides that protect you, NOT the rubber tires...

Yes, it would be difficult to solve the problem with new underlayment, you'd need to shim each sheet as you install it to end up with a flat plane. You can fill the low areas with anything from layers of kraft paper to fancy engineered floor patch, you just need to use something that won't...

It is common, and it's caused by an out- of- flat surface under your flooring. If you read the specs on any type of floating floor they all say your subfloor needs to be flat and level to within about 3/16" over 10'. It scales with length, too, so 3/16" out over 1' next to 9' dead flat doesn't...

I think the Craftsman RP's are a pretty average length wrench - Blackhawk, Armstrong (RIP), SK, Carlyle all offer wrenches about the same length as the raised panels. A lot of Euro wrenches are about the same length, also. Snap-On, Facom, and Armstrong (RIP) have short wrenches that are...

Cripe has the KD satin 23mm back in stock at the moment: https://www.ebay.com/itm/KD-Tools-63623-23mm-12-Point-Combination-Wrench-USA-/333179879996?hash=item4d9311823c Random question: are the beams on your KD's any thinner than the Allen and Kobalt? I've noticed some variation between the...

I would have a really hard time not buying all three roto ratchets and that 1/4" P90... on sale, they all cost at least twice that much. On the other hand, that screwdriver set was $4.00 cheaper a month or two ago.

As it happens, I found 17mm and 22mm sbe and a couple doe at a local shop today- marked RK on one side and HM on the other, guessing they're from old Honda motorcycle toolkits. Here's some info on RK from the Progress is Fine blog...

Agreed, most folks' idea of "restored" makes me cringe... I'm perfectly capable of wire- wheeling the hell out of something and spraypainting it myself if need be. I like finding stuff in an honest state of disuse. Hey OP, I hear ya, but at least that person's giving away their rusty old...

Haha, nope. Lots of broken hex bolts, lots of broken Torx bits, just wondering if anyone's broken the threaded portion of a Torx bolt trying to get it loose.

So, if I understand this correctly... On paper, and in clean or high- use circumstances, Torx fasteners are more efficient for rapid assembly, especially considering tooling life, and have smaller and lighter heads. In practice, on cars, say, Torx bolts **** because you have less mechanical...

Is the saw less functional than before the corrosion happened?

Basic gold zinc wood screws are a step up from drywall screws and are cheap, deck screws and Spax are another step or two. I hate drywall screws, and avoid them for any project not involving drywall... I've mostly had the total junk variety, I guess. If I wanted some, I'd haunt the surplus and...

I think of that style being a macrobevel, not a microbevel- we salvaged a bunch of it at a prior job - and saw some NOS Bruce product with a similar deep and wide bevel. All the stuff I saw was your standard 3/4" thick tongue and groove. My guess is that your floor is 3/4" solid. I'm no...

I've been thrilled to have 1/2" chrome sockets, breaker, ratchet for sticky old exhaust hardware, rusted farm implements, suspension, etc - the 3/8" breaker flexed a lot more than I was happy with, and I don't have any impact tools that don't run on hammer blows. I understand where the wizard...
