    How to hold larger things in a drill chuck?

    I guess you would then turn on the drill press? Sounds like a very dangerous idea. If you need to drill a hole in a LARGE item you need some kind of fixture to hold said large item. And then move the drill bit towards the item. Sort of a milling or horizontal boring operation. What is it that...

    Quality headband head lamp that is bright

    I have a rechargeable one like that. Big battery wart on the back. But the overall size of it is a problem in some close quarters.

    What you have there is "A Home for Every Nut". WOW! That could be something of a name-descriptor for GJ.

    Help me find a use for this

    I categorize that as an ignition wrench. I have a set of Craftsman in SAE and metric. My set is combination.

    Bolt bins ..show me your creative cost effective solution

    I cut down empty hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol bottles. Cut some short, some at an angle, some longwise. I like the square sides.

    Could a machinist copy this wrench to create a match

    Because .... it is a little out there. Plus, I have a pile of old files that need to be put to some use.

    Could a machinist copy this wrench to create a match

    This is a little out there ... But maybe you could take an old file, or two. Cut each half out on one edge to match 1/2 of the nut. Then weld the two halves together. Would be right ugly. But it would be unique. (I am sort of liking this idea; but I don't weld. Yet.)

    Anyone can recommend a good zip tie gun/plier/installer?

    About $80 each on Amazon. Unbelievable that this version has etched areas on the head to make them "un-wrench-ish". German engineering for the win!

    Handle Dip

    One more trick in the hoarder's bag of excuses. Wifey asks, "Why don't you throw out that crusty old piece of junk?" 'Well, ya see, it has exceeding sentimental value; like my left thumb here. How could I part with it?"

    Table Saw: Reinvest with Current, or Start Anew?

    That is a whole bunch of saw!! How well does it move around when you have to shift it? Is that easy for one person? I bought a used 10" Jet saw about that size (but not quite as nice). My sliding table is larger than yours, but your area to left of blade is bigger. To the OP - table saw will...

    What use for the huge DOE wrenches?

    That is a very good price IMO. About 9 years ago I went to a very old hardware store in Melbourne FL area. Near NASA. Hardware store had been established in the 1800s. They had very large wrenches and the big ones seem to have been in inventory a very long time. None of them were as cheap as...
