Something a little less demanding than the 12 ton, $3700 model they list below that one. Hydraulic lines? Killer battery cables? Union thugs squeezing the thumbs of scab labor organizers? Sgt Lumpy

They're back on sale at NewEgg.com. They went off sale for a while but they're back. My home made circle cutter, cutting 3/16 mild steel. Settings - About 35A, 65 psi, torch travel speed about 1" per second - Sgt Lumpy

I need one of those. Would you go buy one and then give it to me? If you don't, I'll hate you. Sgt Lumpy

^^^ This is what I'm wondering. Under what circumstances are these people in your garage? Did you invite them in or ??? Would they walk around your bedroom and ask if they could have a pair of shoes or a piece of jewelry? Would they walk around your bedroom at all? "Hey, could I have this sinus...

Real receiver hitch stock is $10 per foot at my local metal supply yard. No internal seam. Heavy as ****. Good stuff. No need to grind powder coat off. No mill scale. Sgt Lumpy

My bench grinder sometimes sits for months without being used. But my belt sander gets used every couple of days. Bench grinding on small stuff is always a hassle holding the parts. But shaping them on a sander is much more controllable. To grind on large parts, it's much easier and...

Hand held to turn 1" hex threading dies. Sgt Lumpy

Pair of those China rebuilt NiMh batteries - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QQZ7TZM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 ~ $60 a pair. More amp/hrs than the DeWalt batteries, cost less than rebuilding your own. I bang away with mine every day. A charge lasts noticibly longer than any DeWalt NiCad...

Up top 15 bucks now for the 100. Still a good deal just for the washers. Sgt Lumpy

Die grinder seems appropriate. Perhaps even simpler and quicker is a rotary rasp bit in a cordless drill. Sgt Lumpy

This forum is ALL ABOUT back and forth banter between the "holier than thou" Snapoids and the "low life, slum dwelling, inexperienced, communist supporting" Craftsman users. Sgt Lumpy

I like the offset "open" style with a switch for direction over the flat style that you flip over to reverse. I don't use it for tons of torque, just rapid on and off. Stuff like adjusting bumper heights and angles. Finish the torque with a more appropriate wrench. The HF style are fine for...

It is telling that you use the terms - "THE" wife and "MY" garage Sgt Lumpy

The Sears communication failed to use correct English grammar. Your post complaining about it also failed to use correct English grammar. Nearly all the follow up posts about it also failed to use correct English grammar. :lol_hitti Sgt Lumpy

^^^ This. I use about four sizes of fasteners in my shop. Any time I add a new size I buy a set of Irwin or better PTB taps and two dies. That costs me maybe 20-30 dollars. To buy a "set" of the same for every size #6 through whatever, would cost hundreds of dollars. And I'd have dozens of...

For most of my welding (fabbing auto stuff) DUTY CYCLE is the most important parameter of a welder. Once I get a project tacked up I want to weld it out and at least get through each bead without getting shut down by that 20 or 30 % duty cycle. I can weld 1/2" plate with a 130A china mig if I...

I used to buy cheap cotter pins. But I found I had to use extra tool polish to get them up to spec. So now I just wait for the tool truck and pay $11 for three pins. They come pre-polished. Sgt Lumpy

I have a bunch of those. You have it installed the way the instructions in mine describe. You can unscrew it with a 14mm wrench and follow the air path. Incoming air goes into the big bowl with the schrader. Then through the filter and out through the blue end. Sgt Lumpy

I've got the pilot arc version. It's a blast to use. This week I've been fabbing bumpers and winch mounts. The little thing cuts through 1/2" steel just fine. Knock a little slag off the back side and it's ready to weld. CONSUMABLES: Don't buy the expensive ones marketed for the Lotos. Instead...
