Lathe bits? No. There are a few things that look like some sort of rotary bits, but it's not clear what they would fit. There is one item that looks like a bit holder, the piece with the set screw. They all seem to have this common flat base, so, if they are cutters, they fit some holder I don't...

I was a machinist over 20yrs, and while I have one, it was always at home, not in my machinist box. While I did not go around looking in people's boxes, I don't recall ever seeing one in any drawer that happened to be open when I approached.

I realize that for the OP this is probably not an option, but when I replaced my water heater last summer, I used a breaker bar, and broke the anode rod loose, re-taped the threads, and re-installed it at a more reasonable tightness. Did this with a friend to help while it was still in the...

I realize ryobi is seriously poo-pooed here, but, I have quite a few of them, including the 1/2" impact gun, and have been almost completely satisfied. I'm not impressed with the 18v reciprocating saw. I have a mikwaukee industrial sawzall, the ryobi doesn't even come close. But otherwise fine...

Well, after having tried both directions, at the same speeds, the rooms off the living room get warmer when the air pushes down than when pulled up. The stove keeps the living room hot, I don't need the fan for the living room. Direction may not matter within the room, it does matter when trying...

In the house, I have a 72" ceiling fan in the living room. In the winter, I run it slow when using the wood stove, to spread the heat further out into the house. Having tried both directions, pushing down works better. I generally only use one of the first three speeds.

"so it's snowing heavily and the furnace stops working" I load the wood stove and light it................

I always sharpened drills by hand. Once I go down below 3/16" or so, they get tough, and over 1 1/2", they get tough on a regular sized bench grinder. It's not easy, but I learned to successfully sharpen drills on a belt sander. But, it's not very good on smaller drills, 1" or under. The largest...

Yes, that's what it is. It goes from 0-2". It would need a 1" standard in order to set the 1"-2". You could check places like eBay, see if any are there, and are they selling, and for what.

That is interesting, though, with the adjustable anvil. Made by Browne & Sharpe.

I have a heat pump here for the house, new unit replacing the old unit in early '17. If the aux heat comes on, it shows on my thermostat. The aux heat will come on if I bump the setting up 2 degrees or more, or if I bump it up at all while it's running. Bumping it back down, the aux goes back...

This has gotten complicated.............. Ahh, the old days...... Drill a big hole in it, drop in a stick of dynamite........ "you have two minutes to reach minimum safe distance".............

I did this. It took some time, but I planned it well. With things like fasteners and shingles, I added for lost/bent nails, trimmed shingles, and caps. When it was all said and done, I had most of a pack of shingles, a bunch of nails left, I had to buy two 2x4x8 boards i'd somehow missed, and...

Well, this might be considered "old school", but it worked, period. Back in the day, I had a 4x4 i'd built, first on 38s, later 44s, which I off-roaded extensively. So, tire repairs were a regular thing. I bought the "heavy duty" tire kit, which was nicer t-handle tools with the same **** string...

I kept my tools in the truck, in this military surplus metal box, I think for storing med supplies. It was roughly 24" long, 15" or so wide, and about 6" deep. Had latches all around, a handle on one side. It's still around here somewhere. That, and a floor jack with the handle off...

I've not searched, but i've not seen what steel the slide is made from. The 308 filler would almost certainly work, as it's very flexible about mixing, but, it will not blue, or likely take phosphate, so, it woll depend on your plans for refinishing. It is always possible there will be a hard...

Yeah, we played the fancy game, once........ Since then it's been cheap dial knob units. Some have lasted longer than the fancy one we started with

I ended up getting the tekton, the 12" long bent handle. It's also the quick-release. I figured sticking it down into some tight spot might be better with the socket locked on. Changing spark plugs on an American v8 was what made me want a flex head, and I have another to do before long. I'll...

I have two such vehicles............... 90 tooth is fine, I wasn't set on a specific tooth count, more of an overall what fits my needs.

So, it's been awhile, but finally getting back to this. Here, a lot of **** has flowed under the bridge. Anyway, I did look at the Capri. I've pretty well settled on the tekton with the 12" handle. The swivel head has detents, but 9 instead of the 6 the GW has. The tekton is 80 tooth over the...
