One example, I forgot I had a partial broach and using it to remove the top nut on a rear shock and with one squeeze of the trigger before I knew it it had shoved the head of my milwaukee cordless ratchet up into the inner fender to where I couldn't reach the selector to tighten the nut back...

I use those Blue Point ratcheting crows feet all the time, though mostly without any extension just as a really tiny ratchet in places where I don't really have room for anything else. Those situations where I'm wanting to spin a loose nut/bolt by hand but I can just touch it but not well enough...

Just some camphor tabs for my tool chest drawers. I try to change them about once every 12-18 months or so.

Looks like over at Practical Machinist OP thinks they have it solved

This will be the most epic 'what is it' thread ever if it turns out it IS a saw set.

If you scroll down on his linked ebay ad...

Looks like someone's changed the nameplate on one of these https://www.amazon.com/Cordless-Inflator-Compressor-Portable-Motorcycles/dp/B0DP934TB6?tag=atomicindus08-20

I found it, and looks like it has them stumped so far also ... https://www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/unidentified-measuring-device.440630/#post-4384429 I LUV this first reply there ... LOL! I'm hopeful someone figures it out.

Add these to zimman's 'short story' of a guy turning on a manifold and it blowing up, y'all got me a bit spooked. I've apparently been doing it wrong hundreds of times now. I've never given any of those things a single thought. Been playing around with most types of welders and torches for a...

The hand tools my grandfather left me. He left me two chests of mostly 1960-1980 Craftsman stuff, and a couple tombstone welders, etc. I don't actually use most of them near as much any more, but I'd never sell any of it for any price, and I've been offered some pretty insane prices for some of...

Half my house, the older main section, is lath & plaster, and I've not had great luck with any stud finder, but I've never wanted to part with whatever the top models of any brand were wanting. This thread got me looking into them a bit more, and I think my arm's been twisted enough to take a...

And that would matter because .... EDIT: I guess that's why it would matter to you, but I don't think there's going to be a way to do what you want. A tee would let you run both on the same system to keep up with higher cfm loads. You could perhaps add an auxillary tank to accomplish what...

You may consider buying your own heavy duty folding shelf brackets and make your own workbench like that one. Many are rated at 550 lbs for a pair. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=heavy+duty+folding+shelf+brackets&tag=atomicindus08-20&tag=atomicindus08-20 Or just make one with fold down legs...

Reminds me of a recent vid where Eric O. explains why he no longer has any trucks that stop at his shop any more. No Mac, No Snap-on, and No Matco. Said the last one was a Matco guy stopped in and wanted to add him to his route, which Eric said sure, but then after Eric explained neither him nor...

I just keep mine dropped in a hole on one of my DIY screwdriver racks. It works and they don't take up any drawer or shelf space but they get filthy and I almost always have to clean them whenever I do need to use one.

I saw this has been asked before on this forum (13 years ago - here) and no one replied with a link to a manual. A couple offered to see if they could find theirs but if they were able to provide one they didn't link it in the thread. There was this reply that you may or may not find helpful.

I'd really like to see someone who knows what they are doing using that. Just looking at it scares me, but I'm all the time wishing I had a rethreader for some size or pitch that's not included in my Kastar 48pc kits.

I don't, but I will before long. This post just got me to order the metric set (JHWMWS-4RC). "Arriving July 15-17". I didn't even know that was a thing. I've got a 12pc SuperCombo reversible ratcheting set from 8mm-19mm that's just begging for these bigger siblings. I'm definitely going to have...

I like that pole saw. I bought/added an extra middle extension to mine for a little added reach (Dewalt Pole, Middle Extension #DWB-N611762). I did have to modify it a little though, It wasn't as plug-and-play as I hoped. Dewalt designed that middle section so an extra section wouldn't easily be...
