    Is This The Best Wrench Set for The Money

    I mean, you could just leave the " for the money" part off entirely....still, yes.

    Can't do AC LEDs, any suggestions?

    Can't say I can substantiate the claim but for $13 I'd give it a shot. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B91Z31ND/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Hilarious use of breaker bar

    I think he's purposely trying to display several methods while adding some drama.

    Hilarious use of breaker bar

    I mean somewhat.....if I were guessing I'd say it came off with no more than 350ftlb. Hell let's say he lifted with 200lbs at 36"....still in meh level mpact territory. Cheaters on the end of the bar and he definitely didn't seem to struggle much. For a still staked 36mm...it didn't seem...

    Hilarious use of breaker bar

    It's a setup....he didn't try hard w the impact. He didn't even unstake the nut. Not to mention I've seen some of the better impacts twist the whole damn end off a CV. To boot, everything was rusty as hell but the nut looked clean and new. I wouldn't be surprised if the impact was on a low...

    How much antifreeze is needed ??

    If you started at 50/50 you are now at approximately 60/40....which is perfectly acceptable. More accurately 5.4 gallons , 3.4 at 50%, 2 at 25% Which gives you 1.7gal pure plus .5 gal pure or 2.2 gal pure out of 5.4 gal which is 40.74% of the total. You could take out .4 and replace with pure...

    Anyone using old steel bed rails for project builds?

    Nah, free steel doesn't lead to disappointment very often 😜

    Looking to get a micron gauge for auto a/c

    I don't think it's a matter of measuring the vacuum to a finer degree. Some things that would not let external pressure into a vacuum will absolutely let internal pressure out. Not to mention under vacuum you're looking at 14 psi pressure differential, while a charge makes for 175. Pressure...

    Tekton vs Capri vs Olsa vs ?

    I've only seen the goat on the stickers but yeah it's pretty cool. I bet even cooler stamped into a ratchet.

    Tekton vs Capri vs Olsa vs ?

    Don't know much about olsa. I like my Capri stuff...good quality but as has been mentioned it can be a bit limited. Tekton as a company really does it right. The completeness of the sets, the organization of the sets, the customer service, the individual pieces and... they have have been...

    Williams vs Wright Wrenches

    Wright. You're looking at a contender for one of the best wrenches available for any amount of money anywhere on the planet. Yet they have a reasonable price, and are made in US using US steel by a family owned company. They simply can't be beat, all elements considered. Disclaimer: That said...

    I NEED A 56,000 CFM CEILING FAN WITH A 56" BLADE

    Lets settle down this was quite obviously a 5600 cfm fan. OP even admits hey, that was just a spec, could be wrong. On that note why not suggest some in that range.

    Has anyone compared ERNST Gripper Wrench Organizer vs. US General ones?

    Oh ... I was going off OPs link. I have the 2pc 15 slot USG set and their 2pc. 12slot stubby set.

    Has anyone compared ERNST Gripper Wrench Organizer vs. US General ones?

    I mean, the Ernst only goes up to a 9 slot vs 15. I don't have the Ernst but I have the USG and I like them. They're a nice soft flexy plastic that feels like high durometer silicone really. Although they aren't snapping anything in real hard so they aren't what I'd choose for a travel set.

    Looking for a patternmaker near Ravenna, Ohio

    You'll probably want to look closer to Akron. Tri-cast comes to mind but theres a ton of that kind of work being done in that area for a very very long time.

    What are these chamfer tools and what are they good for?

    Even chamfering the hole in sheet metal actually gives a stronger lap joint for welded or bonded construction.

    Apex Tool Group was (maybe still is?) up for sale.

    That's how these groups do. Buy a company for the name, trash it, then **** every penny out until it's just a dry wrinkled husk, then look for another name to sell once the reputation is destroyed. Brunswick admitted as much in their orientation for working at sea ray when explaining why the...
