    Facom Diagonal Wire Cutter pliers

    I've had these for years and they are comfortably gripped and cut nicely. The price with shipping at $15 + $6.49 is currently significantly less than normal pricing. IIRC, these were in the $35+ range on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ET55H2/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Just a few left at...

    What ever happened to the SO FXKR6 & FXKR3?

    I guess these were an idea that didn't catch on. Has another mfgr. produced anything like it? The knurling on the 6" looks lined, rather than diamond?

    Are the Princess Auto 36" and 48" breaker bars still sold?

    I've seen a few posts (such as in the multi-page one re: the new SO SN36) about lengthy and inexpensive bars from P.A. But the website doesn't show anything in 36" 1/2 drive nor 48" 3/4 drive Are they store-only or long gone?

    Value of older Matco multimeter

    Dad has a wild hair to sell his ET-710. I'm not sure if he has a timing light with it or what. It does have an amp shunt, which I'm not familiar with other than :shocking:. Well-respected garage owner guy offered $100 for part of it all, $125 with something included. Are the needle meters...

    What to use to fix craptastic quick-disconnect air line

    This is the line from the regulator up to the siphon tube head on the HF portable soda blaster. Both ends snug up as you pull upon them, but also leak bad at the moment. I'd like to retain the quick-disconnect factor for when I'm refilling. But is this something avail. at HD or Ace on a...

    Tell me about measuring tools (2 reasons)

    I broke the thumbroller part of my 6" slide caliper. It's an inches dial-style. I got my money out of it; the jaws are worn a bit and it's time to upgrade. So there's that. But I wouldn't mind knowing about what makes a brake mic. (to measure drum i.d. "special." I haven't owned or pondered a...

    A Winner From Amazon's Returns Dept.

    No damage to the box; Looks like a ham-fist "mechanic" did this and returned it. Although, I could understand possible defective manufacture of the jaw. But why sell it as "Condition: Used - Like New" We'll see how AllTrade's warranty works out. If not, and I can't find jaws for reasonable...

    Teach me about Power Drive Hex Bits

    I've always chucked 1/4" hex bits into a screwdriver or a drill. But I think I've seen the ones with a groove in between 2 hex sections referred to as power-drive or something like that. Is this a functional groove for quick-insert / quick-release? Or another specific use? What is the right...

    Compressor shut off switch.

    My old reliable portable Craftsman 921.152100 has a leaking pressure switch that should hysically click it off. So it has endless leaking and run time if I let it run. It's not individually called out in the blow-up of parts...

    Ratchet gear mechanism

    On this quick release square drive: The button presses a shaft against a coil spring. That shaft is notched at one side for the ball. Is it always notched on one side only? The button spins, which is why I ask. The button end is retained by a ring that's pressed in(?) The square end is...

    Threads for blind hole puller

    I want to expand my puller setup to be able to pull a pressed-in race more reliably. I have a slide hammer (Wilmar W89725 ?) with male 5/8-18 threaded end. edit: Wilmar seems to have a W89742 which has similar sizes so no gain there. And I have the below set; the coupler with it is...

    Well, the "get a bigger hammer" method didn't work.

    I'm driving a gear onto a shaft with probably a 5 thou press fit. My reliable 3lb hammer wasn't doing it. So I went to Ace to see if a 6 was there. That hickory handle broke. Now I have a sledge borrowed from a neighbor. Might have to do some disassembly and find a way to use the 20t press.

    What Replacement Handles For Pliers?

    I'm not dead set on USA and I'm not dead set on a particular brand. But it sure sounds like a good idea to get some Channellock brand pliers. Problem? The blue (like this guy: :confused: ) is just not for me. And the plain one-color shrink sleeve doesn't appeal to me either. Now, I've read...

    Reviews on 1/2" deep OSA-WERKZEUG offerings on Amazon?

    Specifically: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038VOAOK/?tag=atomicindus08-20 What markings and brand appear on these? How are the broachings of the 12pt section? I guess I'd have searched a bit more but the word WERKZEUG comes up a lot in threads here. ;) Thanks.

    Trane XB13c or XL13c; making a decision today

    Is the only difference the external grating material around the coil? This is the leader in our shopping and will be replacing a fairly old unit. Is the Honeywell 8000 wi-fi a solid choice in t-stats? And should I beat up the price at all by offering to pay cash?

    Coil Fan Blade Remover Tool

    I had the HVAC guys out recently. Our R22 unit isn't too efficient but it's still working so... One of the things we talked about was the coil fan motor replacement I did. I had bent the old blade due to lack of a larger 3-jaw puller. He said the tool he uses to remove the fan blade goes in...

    Who still makes a breaker bar **with female sq. at end of handle?

    I'm looking for a 3/8" version for a friend. Along the lines of a herbrand s-13, williams b-40, walden-worcester 1151 etc. I think there's a Thorsen one, but not that I've been able to find online yet. edit: Proto Industrial Web site - no go. edit: Not shown in Facom 2012. edit: Not shown...
