    Fuel pressure relief valve

    It's to depressurize the system before you take the gauge off.

    Fuel pressure relief valve

    Plenty of push button brass valves to be had. The button is just on top instead of on the end. You could always throw a 90 on it and orient the button to the outside if it matters.

    Axle Nut Socket Set (automotive)

    I wouldn't sweat the durability on an axle nut set. I've had all no name for years. The most recent were some Amazon **** in all 12 point.

    The Weird Old Ratchet Contest...Show Me What You Got!

    I believe this is a replacement shaft for a torque multiplier. That groove at the socket length on the squared part is there to make it shear at the max designed torque rather than damage the multiplier. Much as you see in this type of VW torque multiplier...

    What’s your Master Hex Set contain?

    Bondhus L keys, Capri master hex bit set, Cornwell long hex bits. I lump all the other stuff in there too so Capri master torx bit set. Idk who triple squares. A lot of random **** I've collected over the years to round it out. No name twist style hex extractor set.

    what abrasive would you use for cleaning rust & scale off large metal pipe posts?

    Not sure if you checked my suggestion but was a wire wheel for the weed eater for about $25. I'd rather be standing and backed up a few feet with a weed eater strapped than kneeling in with a grinder for most of the work. But nevermind me.

    what abrasive would you use for cleaning rust & scale off large metal pipe posts?

    Idk but I'd certainly be tempted to try this for the bulk of it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082VJNHRC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Need advice on paint for a car lift.

    Just go to your local auto paint supplier and ask for industrial acrylic Enamel, equipment is exactly what it's made for. Get a DTM and skip the primer. This is exactly what DTM AE is made for

    School me on what granite tables are used for?

    As has been mentioned. It's called a surface plate. Generally it's a reference surface meant to be extremely accurately flat. For taking measurements. The use can be as simple as placing a part on to use feelers to see how flat it is, to complex geometric measurements. Those brass inserts...

    Husky versus Kobalt for wrenches and sockets

    1. Never had an issue warranting either, I just bring the broken and the preselected replacement to the counter and I'm out in 3 minutes. ( Ratchets and extensions, never broke a husky wrench, never bothered exchanging a socket from either) 2. HD only carries the one major line of hand tools...

    Craftsman USA Factory - Bad News

    Did any of the tools made their ever even make it to the distributors? They might have actually took off with it if it had a chance. Afaik the stuff mostly never even hit the shelves.

    Help ID snap on slip joint pliers model number

    I don't have them. I love my 47acf and 96acf ( regular slip joint and needle nose). Snap on has the best old school pliers maybe ever made. But I really can't see too much point in some high force regular pliers. I most often use them just on small spring hose clamps and generally if I need...

    Help ID snap on slip joint pliers model number

    It's in the pic you posted. HL138ACP It's also the name of the video the pic is from I believe. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D-TNdQpZsexQ&ved=2ahUKEwionrrFu4qAAxUYMlkFHbZZDKIQjjh6BAgoEAI&usg=AOvVaw3tpCe0bnxVVvHAkBVTwAcN

    Retired Tech Looking For a Good Scanner for under 3k

    Your 906 I'm guessing was fairly early too. I think you'd have to go out of your way a bit to shop for a 906 that isn't a 906bt or pro now. Although those dongles don't seem as robust as the one that came with the 909? That slow start has plagued snap ons tools as long as I can remember. The...

    Retired Tech Looking For a Good Scanner for under 3k

    I had the opposite experience on a Tacoma. The snap-on verus couldn't even try to access the test for the secondary air injection and for the most part ignored any data related to it. I'm not even sure it knew the module was there. While the ms909 had no issue and gave all the warnings about...

    Just Retired - welding is on the list

    I really hated to admit it until I used them side by side but honestly the hf titanium's outperform a Lincoln 180c or lower. Theyve really let their small time game fall behind. I hold on to my sp170t but I'll grab the HF first every time, it's really that much smoother and easier to use...

    Middle ground punch set

    I think I've nearly talked myself out of keeping the budget lowish. I might just end up with starrett pin and some enderes chisels.... The alignment punches I'm less concerned with the quality. I really, really despise having to use a chisel shaped imitation instead of a chisel. I should be...
