I don't think I've ever run across a metric hose clamp. And besides my '92 F250 and '69 F250, basically all of our cars have been German for the last decade or so. They're almost always 5/16 (which an 8mm will substitute for nicely most of the time)

I use my 5.5mm ALL the time. It's the nut size for a 3mm bolt. In fact, I've bought a number of 5.5mm wrenches as singles for just that purpose. I don't remember ever using a 5mm or 6mm though.

Google said it started in '73

This. Is. The. Answer. If it doesn't rust after you "degrease" it, then you either did a bad job or used the wrong solvent. Don't get me wrong, I use diesel to "clean" my motorcycle chains, but if I want something to be CLEAN, diesel doesn't get anywhere near it. If you want to REALLY...

Good luck finding a die for this There are a LOT of threads that dies simply don't exist for. I used the hell out of my thread files as a rotating equipment machinist, repairing old shafts. Sometimes I was cutting threads that were something wild like 8"-12tpi

I use this for basically everything https://worksharptools.com/products/woodworking-tool-sharpener-ws3000?srsltid=AfmBOoq8xMFl7GvjXNvxmidCQGFmhjoeecS6lNEteic_k1cfg2cFz5NL Although mine's been modified a bit. Between the Worksharp and a diamond stone and a strop, I haven't really found a need...

I've never heard "insert bit" or "power bit" before, but after looking them up, I assume we're talking the same thing. I think everyone else in the world (or myself, and everyone I've ever known) says "impact bits" for the quick release, snap-into-your-impact-driver bits, and "driver bits" for...

I'm going by what KnurledNut said, that they're not the same "quick release" impact bits that you generally see.

You mean those things that the bits fall out of, so you lose them? And add more movement to the piece as a whole? I hate those things, and only use them when I absolutely need them for some reason

I hate Amazon as much as the next guy, but at the same time, I do like saving money. Never heard of Nelson Bowers Either way, I thought they were impact bits, and they're not... so I'm not buying them anyways.

Obviously, I started looking at what my local Cabelas had in stock for 22 cases, and remembered this pic when I found this on their website https://www.cabelas.com/p/mtm-sb-200-series-rimfire-ammo-box I assume that's the same guy? Looks like a great candidate for short bits

Well that includes me. Why do they say "impact" on them then? Seems quite misleading.

I was just struggling with my ENORMOUS Dewalt case of impact bits the other day helping my uncle rebuild some stairs. That Vessel set looks killer, love the small case. And it has somehow fallen into my amazon cart. It looks like it's actually in stock at the ACE a few miles away, but it's...

Looks like an electric motor mounts to the flat plate, which would turn the small pulley, then the large pulley would turn through the gearbox (I assume), probably at a much lower speed. That's my guess anyways.

Technically it was 5 saws for $40, sold the rest (for parts or after fixing) for well over that combined, but I still call it an $8 saw. Mine didn't have the chain brake on it when I bought it, and I've never bothered to find one and put it on. Someday I'd like to go through it and repaint etc...

Granted, I've only got 3 rolling toolboxes and 2 smaller handheld boxes, but I've got 3 tapes and know where they all are.

That's how POR-15 is usually used, put it in a tank, and rotate every once in a while to let it coat everything. However, it's usually used in "regular" fuel tanks where you only have access through a small hole. I've had great luck with it, and put it in every old motorcycle tank I re-do...

I'd grab it with pliers, and spin the shaft and it should essentially unthread itself.

That's how I usually operate unfortunately.

Been looking for a another box to replace my 8 drawer Kennedy. It seems I need another toolbox every 5 years or so as the tools stack up. Saw this TRP on CL, brand new unused for $500. I ended up giving the guy a watch that I don't really wear (that I paid about $100 for) and $250 cash. He even...
