    Leaf blowers/vacuums

    If you are moving a leaves off a very large area say 1 acre up I recommend a Stihl BR 600, 550, which are four mix engines.Four Mix engines are four strokes without an oil sump, they use mixed gas like a 2 stroke to provide lubrication instead of a oil sump. They have been around for years and...

    Ratcheting screwdrivers

    If you like the Wera, you should try one of the Felo 410 series screwdrivers. German made outstanding quality. Love the grip, I never use the Snappys anymore.

    Made in u.s.a.

    I try to buy USA made tools, but selection is limited. As of late I've been buying European. Why pay Snap On prices when I can buy as good or better tools for a lot less. Stahlwille as an example, not triple chromed and polished but wrenches that are stronger and just as functional. Why...

    So it begins........My 36' x 45' is up!

    Nice building. I insulated with foam board and have had no issues. We went with wafer board 4 foot high around the bottom in the area we dedicated as a welding area to keep sparks out of the foam.

    Need help finding a tool please

    +1 on the PB Swiss Wiha is also very good. I have had a Wiha T27 last four years on a 1/4" impact removing and replacing thousands of screws on chainsaws and it still looks like new.

    Cheapest place to buy individual sockets

    I would start at Cripe Distributing. I've ordered several items and they have had great service. Code welcome back gets something like 10 percent off.

    Neighbor wanting to build close or on my property.

    Just ask the surveyor and they will put pins in on the line where you ask them too. In Missouri it is a crime to mess with survey pins. I drive in steel fence post by all mine.

    What do you guys all think of fluid film

    I use it on the farm as rust prevention is critical on some machinery parts. I have used it for about three years and have been extremely pleased. Kroil is a much better penetrant.

    Neighbor wanting to build close or on my property.

    When I bought my current farm I had a survey done. On the rear corner of my property the neighbor had drilled his well 3 feet over on my place. It had been done about four years prior to me buying the property. He was horrified, he spent money on having a different survey down,results were the...

    all usa tools ?

    I consider myself as patriotic as anyone. Served 4 years active over 16 in the reserves but I'll be damned if I am for example going to pay 20.00 plus dollars for a screw driver that is considered a prestige brand or image brand when I can buy a German made screwdriver of at least equal to or...

    How may Cman ratchets been warrantied?

    I don't see it as a rant but a statement of how sorry and in decline the rp ucraftsman have become. I prolly have fifteen or so of the old rp craftsman in about every style made in the 70's and early 80's. Its been a steady state of decline. I just bought a 3/8 drive bit set that included a...

    opinions on the use of chrome sockets on low power impacts...

    I use chrome all the time on a 12v 1/4" impact with zero issues over the course of several years . If I use a 3/8 or 1/2" its with impact sockets. Never had an issue with 1/4" but I am using old SK sockets.

    Hazet 6pc screwdriver set or Wiha 6pc screwdriver set

    I have used the Wiha for years but have switched to Felo 410 series and PB Swiss. The soft handle Felo's offer a better grip than the Wiha and are easy to clean. The PB Swiss are the best screwdrivers I've ever used but cost quite a bit more than the Felo's. For the money the German made Felo's...

    Screwdriver Set

    If I could have only one set it would be PB Swiss. After having and using Snap On, Klein,Wiha,Wera,Felo and the old USA made Craftsman Professional imho none has the quality of the PB Swiss. My second choice would be Felo 410 series or 500 series chisel drivers. Third would be Wiha. If you use...
