    PEX-AL-PEX airline piping

    This is more of an issue on hydraulic systems. For air use it would be fine. My vote, however, is for black sch 40 pipe. This will last a lifetime, especially with a proper air drier and oiling system.

    who are the U.S. tool makers doing it right, NOT outsourcing

    Hmm. I have a set of Mayhew select series pics that say molded in Taiwan on the handles. I wonder if they were then assembled in the US.

    Lenox Utility Knives? Nice or just Expensive?

    We use the self retracting knives at my overly safety concious work. They are definitely the nicest safety knives I've used. Blade changes are simple and toolless and they are well built. The gold series only look nicer.

    My IR 175 psi compressor needs to dial down to meet air filter--can I do that?

    Something like the regulator below would be fine. You may be just fine without it, but it's cheap insurance in my mind. https://www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/NNSRIT2?PMAKA=62383617&PMPXNO=17992619&cm_re=ItemDetail-_-ResultListing-_-SearchResults

    My IR 175 psi compressor needs to dial down to meet air filter--can I do that?

    If the filter is only rated at 140 psi, running air through it at 175 psi could possibly damage the filter and lead to debris downstream, which could in turn damage air tools. I personally wouldn't risk it. Like I said, you won't miss the extra air pressure anyway.

    My IR 175 psi compressor needs to dial down to meet air filter--can I do that?

    Just use a regulator to dial the air down a bit. You shouldn't need anything over 120 psi anyway.

    I hate to quote my own post but I just got off of the phone with tooltopia and they are both the same sets.

    HOT DEAL Index!!

    Does anyone know if this is a set of long and a set of standard length or two of the same sets. It's hard to tell from the description. I'm looking at these to upgrade/expand my small craftsman rp set.

    Any Menonite or Amish builders in S/Ontario?

    I doubt it but I'd be willing to send some up from Lancaster for you.

    Looking for a decent cheap hex socket set

    I'm going to get flamed for saying it, but I recommend the Craftsman evolve sets from Sears. At $10 a set they are a good bargain. I have a set in sae at work that I use often and they still look like they did when I bought them. I have already hung on the 3/8 with my long handled 3/8 ratchet...

    Darn. The MSC promo isn't working with my employee discount. That would have been too good to be true.

    Craftsman 3/4 Ratchet, Wright 3/4 Breaker

    Prices lowered again. Make me an offer. At this point I would prefer to sell as a package.

    Ever let someone borrow your tools and they abuse them?

    I have people at work that I know never to lend tools to. Most of the guys think that a ratchet should double as a hammer and a pry bar. When production employees start asking to borrow tools, I know to ask some questions. Usually it's to fix something before anyone else realizes they broke it.

    Flashlights, Streamlight? Mag Light? Snap On?

    I'll second Fenix. In my opinion they can't be beat for the money. Not far from a streamlight or surefire as far as quality and function but at a fraction of the price. I'm not a fan of Mag. I feel that they are falling behind the others on technology. If I were you i would look at the AA...
