Unless they are crusty with wood stain or the like or completely filled with grease (which I toss into the burn pile) most shop towels I keep them in a 6 gallon galvanized trash can with lid and I wash them and reuse them. When the can gets full I first give them a wash by hand with Dawn in a...

What's the use case for that? Oil filters?

This is what we use at work.. https://www.thecarycompany.com/red-plastic-1-gallon-funnel-brass-screen I don't know where you can get it in quantities of just one.

I don't know why I never got tap sockets before. They've been on my list of wants and had them in my cart many times for years now, but I never pulled the trigger. Then I watched one of my coworkers use one of them in a small drill with a can of spray lube to tap about 25 holes he'd just drilled...

And the only reason he was able to hang on to it all that time was because it wasn't a 10mm.

Yeah, Snap-on now also makes their own designs they are selling for more. They have sold that rebadged Lang for many years now. I've haven't yet seen anyone with one of the Snap-on ones, but I know plenty who have been using that Blue-Point or Lang for a long time now. FWIW there's always a...

The Lang 279-5420 Brake Caliper Press is also rebadged by Snap-on and sold under their Blue-Point name (BTCP500) for more than twice the price. If you pay the $110 price tag Snap-on wants you can be assured to convince yourself it's got that 'precision' feel. Kidding aside, the Lang one is the...

I want one of these readily available at a price point of under $500.

Eddie killed Sears sure AF. He sold all the stores that owned their buildings to a realty company he owned and then leased those stores to himself at rates they could not remain profitable while enriching himself so he could buy his own island and milk the rest of that old cow for all she was...

Hopefully he does a round 2 with better chargers than any of those. Seems like a lot of people in the comments on that video are calling for it. I'd like to see how some of the other >$100 chargers out these days compare to the Clore PL2320 (also rebadged/sold as a MAC MT6340B and Bluepoint...

I don't think I've had mine quite that long. Mid 90s I think. Still quite accurate and in good shape, but can't say I have a lot of occasion that I use it any more though. These RHFT Digitorks are a bit older though.

New today, Lisle 70500 Tap Socket Set

Is there not an extension you could add? I dug 27 or 28 >4' holes to set our 8' privacy fence using Harbor Freight's predator auger with it's 8" x 31" deep bit first followed by going deeper using their 21" extension. I was burying the entire bit down to the motor in every hole. And it sucked...

Perhaps a leaf blower is a better solution. Oneida recommends it as an option. That said, I never clean my dust collector's filter inside my shop. I roll the can it's in outside to blow it out. Mine's not a 6' tall unit like pictured in the video though. Still, if it was, I'd figure a way...

I much prefer a deep broach because it is good for backing a nut/bolt off when I don't have room for the ratchet to have to move with it, and as I pointed out in my previous post, the ratchet moving up can get your ratchet/socket stuck in a bad situation, especially on a pneumatic or battery...

They are not as thin as a non-ratcheting Craftsman tappet wrench (~3.5mm) or a Duratech super thin (3mm) Mine are right about 5.5mm thick for the 8mm, and 8.5mm for the 19mm. As opposed to 8.5mm for the 8mm, and 15.5 for the 19mm in my Williams reversible supercombo wrenches. As opposed to...

Got in Williams MWS-4RC 4pc large ratcheting reversible wrench set (21mm, 22mm, 24mm, 25mm - made in Taiwan) to add some range to my 11pc Williams Supercombo set (8mm-19mm - made in USA). These will definitely work, though they are a bit shorter length with wider beams. The markings are a lot...

If you're just thread chasing, thread restorer taps tend to be a lot shorter than regular taps, and they work with a regular short socket. This 48 pc set I believe is made by Kastar and sold under a lot of other brands other than this Craftsman, like Lang, Snap-on, Mac, Matco, etc. They aren't...

Only Vevor tool I've used was a Toyota rear axle bearing tube my nephew bought since he found out not many places around here will even quote replacing his rear bearings / seals for anything less than a FU price. Right out the box I had to modify it a bit to make it work with my Harbor Freight...

Do you get the whole Ghost Busters crew together for the parades?
