Those Craftsman Tri-wings were made in Taiwan by Stanley. They sure don't get much love, in no small part due to the fact that Sears wasn't all that upfront letting people know the ratchets weren't made in the USA before they started showing up, without any stamped COO, in sets alongside made in...

True, (1) IF what I'm working on is in my shop (or someplace compressed air is readily available), and / or (2) IF it's a task that's going to take more than a minute or so to do. More than half of what I use a die grinder on does not meet one or both of those situations, which makes having a...

New to me - courtesy GJ Classifieds (Thanks blackwire & Snaparxon!) Blue Point CG270 2 jaw puller, Briggs & Stratton 19063 spring compressor, & a Lisle 32500 Exhaust Pipe Expander

I'm team yellow for almost all of their cordless (and corded) tool platform, and I have well over two dozen Dewalt cordless tools so far, BUT this is one of those tools that justifies why I do also keep a few red tools in the mix. Perhaps my opinion will change if Dewalt does come out with a...

I have several old SK and Craftsman spinners, none with a 1/4 female drive in the handle, that I've almost never used. The only comparable tool I actually do occasionally use are Gearwrench ratcheting screwdrivers. I have a couple full GW ratcheting driver kits, but as a 1/4" socket driver is...

They are on your head :rolleyes2

My Precision Instruments PREC2FR100F (20-100 ft lb) just barely clicks at anything 40 ft lbs and under. It doesn't start making a nice easy to notice click sound and feel until about 40-45 lbs, which is about as low as I'd use it for anyway. My other split beams are similar towards the lower...

Price goes up and down on them all the time, and so does the brand name on them from the same company. Less than a month ago I picked up one and an additional set of 8 coils for under $200. I've only just taken it for a spin so far but it definitely works. I've been told the more higher priced...

I'd like to see that. Having a hard time picturing how you'd set that up. If it works a video of that would no doubt be a big hit over at the r/harborfreight subreddit.

This would be my overkill method suggestion. Apologies for the janky photoshop job. It took me 10 minutes to whip it up. I probably could have asked some AI program to do it in seconds.

Couple short vids showing how

I have Dewalt cordless drills, hammer drills, sds drill, recip saws, jigsaw, circular saw, rotary tool, router, shop lights, underhood light, shop vac, and more I'm forgetting. I also have even more, at least one of every one of those mentioned tools, corded. I still use all of my corded tools...

AFAIK Milwaukee Tools global headquarters is now located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, part of Milwaukee, but it's still a Chinese owned company (TTI) that has its headquarters in Texas. Seems that guy just got a little too greedy. lol, 9,000 lbs of tools to his apartment. Don't guess he figured...

Pretty sure they are made by Kastar EDIT: A bit of googling seems Kastar was a Lang company for more professional grade products. Back in 2011 the Lang family (A&E Incorporated) consolidated their other brands, Kastar, HiTech, and Star, under the Lang Tools name. I don't recall reading that...

Leave the slag in and use clever marketing claiming they are a 'deadblow shovel' to reduce effort required and reduce joint fatigue. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. Now you can charge extra for them.

Used to use kerosene but no place anywhere near me sells it any more. Never thought about using diesel instead, even though it's almost the same thing, just more oily / dirtier. Only time I recently bought any diesel was after I saw the neighbor's teen was sneaking into the cabinet in the...

According to the OP's first post, the manufacturing issue has been resolved. They don't need a magnet inserted during production. They are looking for a way to resolve the slag sliding around inside the 500 shovels already made before the manufacturing issue was caught. The drill and spray foam...

That's right up there with the most GJ inspired line of tool purchase reasoning I've seen in a post in a while. Well done!

FWIW, when I first saw this thread I was trying to remember the name of this company and couldn't at the time. https://connectorexperts.com/
