    Strongest 14mm hex socket

    I have this MAC hex set, damn stout and haven't had any issues. not really too convenient as you need to set the bit each time but they are strong. http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Sockets/Hex-Drivers/SVAM8B/8-PC-1-2-Drive-Metric-Hex-Insert-and-Driver-Set-

    What do the Pros use...

    wierd, so Knipex keeps the same model numbers but changes the part? so how do you know if you have a current model or and old one. I wonder why they dont give it a new part number or add a letter to designate a new version.

    Tire Patching?

    been using Safety Seal, nice beefy made in USA metal handle. not that cheap plastic **** that has the potential for some serious unjury if it breaks. I had a walmart special before and it felt like it would break and stab me so I tossed it.

    Mounting a shelf with magnets

    put a small strip of double sided tape to the bracket. it will be enough grip to stop it from sliding down and the magnet will hold the actual weight. best of all it's removable if need be.

    Mr Cool 24K DIY Mini Split Install

    just a guess, but probably with it in auto the fan slows down as the temp gets closer to the target so its not pushing hard enough to distribute it throughout the room. so locally in the area the temp is correct. but on the far side of the room it will not be. you need to move the air around...

    Need Advice Mounting a Vise

    I would rotate the base so that two mounts line up over the steel channel and drill thru and use washers and nuts and bolts on those two. For the third, cut a piece of 3/4" plywood over sized (maybe 6"x12" and screw that to the underside of the table and drill thru the table top and plywood and...

    Adjustable wire strippers

    these look very similar to the Knipex that I have, which are excellent. I higly recommend this type of stripper as it is the quickest i have come across. much better then the ideal type that uses a die which you must line up with the correct gauge wire. this one, just stick the wire in an...

    where would you use 10-24 bolt/thread. common uses

    I use 10-24 all the time when making up small stuff like brackets or mounts for small items. 10-24 is more common then 10-32. I don't think I've seen it very often in manufactured things, but if you want to mount something small its a good size to have.

    Device to split wires in cord to measure current

    sorry galwayn, no idea. I must have bought mine 20 years ago. I highly recommend you get one with the banana plug shrouds in place for safety reasons. don't want to be accidentally shorting the outlet.

    Wire insertion tool

    It the wire gets hung up lube it up. I spray on some lubricant, corrosion block (like wd40) and it slides right in. The zip tie is soft so it won't pierce the harness like a coat hanger could.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYFTKLG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 may not be the best but this one sure is convenient. it's small, heats up fast and is perfect for heat shrink tubing. I really like this one. its not a heavy duty all day use type of tool but the size...
