    I talked myself into buying the Icon 1/4 and 3/8 sockets sets but the ratchets look like ****

    Not always the case. I bought a Snap on 1/4 air ratchet(off the truck at work for about $200 in 08) it **** the bed in less than 2 months(they wanted $80 for parts to repair and 3 month lead time. This was with a great rep that I knew for years. It was the company policy not his), bought a Mac...

    Busted Craftsman Ratcheting Combo Wrench

    This may or may not help but, I had a couple Gearwrench reversible combos that would lock up and not ratchet or they’d reverse on their own, shot a few squirts of Kroil into the gap of the ratchet head, let it soak for a day and oiled them with some gun oil, worked them for a few minutes and...

    Ever buy something you didn't expect to use, but use it all the time?

    I didn’t buy it my BIL gave it to me as a Christmas present. Looked at it and was like wtf do I need this for?! I’ve got a Wilton vise I just bought! Boy was my assumption wrong. I use this for pretty much everything. Doing the finishing work on (bike)fenders, wheels, frames, bars, forks...

    Vintage ingersoll rand air planisher 40s

    So is it complete? Functional? You going to use it? Sell it? Definitely jealous and you’ve earned the official GJ ‘you ****’. Same goes for the English wheel you posted as well.

    Any suggestions on this?

    Sorry I guess I worded that too vaguely. The tubings only 13 gauge but when I rolled it it compressed around 3/16” so in effect it was about 3/4” tall after I rolled it and still wasn’t at the radius I needed. I’m planning on tying the 2 sides together with stringers about every 18” so it wasn’t...

    Any suggestions on this?

    I do have a jd2 bender(no dies for 2x1 tubing made) and a horror fright tube roller with the swag extensions and 2” dies for square/rectangle tubing. It was actually the first thing I tried, unfortunately it didn’t get anywhere near the radius I needed and had compressed the tubing ~3/16” and...

    Any suggestions on this?

    Just bumping this since I figured out a relatively easy fix for my dilemma. Ended up leaving the top/sides and cutting the sliced part out(bending it back to fit the frame), bending some sheet to the radius and just welding that in. Was able to fit it nice and tig it.

    Homemade Tools

    I left the set screws out about 3/16” so I can spin it out with my fingers. Yours would be way more functional but it’s what I had on hand. At some point I’m going to try and make it a ball detent for the hell of it.

    Homak RS-Pro 72" Tool Box

    They do hit the rear of the latch about 3/16” unless you lift the handle but I always do anyhow. My fist box was a craftsman grip latch that I used 5-6 days a week for ~20 years and those are still going strong so I’d assume this one will last as well.

    Wrench organizer comparison

    Thinking about grabbing a few sets of the Ernst wrench pro magnetic organizers. I know it’s been some time since you wrote this, are you still liking them? Everything still held solid? Anyone else care to chime in? Thanks
