Has anyone tried grinding down the ends of their engineer pliers once the very front portion of the teeth wear out/round out? Was thinking of carefully grinding down past the high wear spots to get freshly exposed teeth.

Do mostly electric forktruck motor rebuilds(field/armature rewind, shaft/bushing lathe work) and 3 phase industrial motors small and large. Done a few split-case gearboxes from start to finish. Haven't done much in the way of vertical motors or pumps as of yet. So I guess I'd be considered more...

Bought the Tekton's 3/8 master set for home and family use. Sockets share a lot of blanks, extension's "knurling" is laughable, and the quick release ratchet that comes in the set just feels terrible to use- Too much back-drag, and the handle is just a weird design. Including a breaker bar in...

When it came to prying endbells off of motors coming in from either chemical treatment plants where endbells get corroded to the stator frame, or having open drip motors come in from hog processing plants where endbells get really stuck. Idk, even our big pullers are just way too small for the...

Tekton pry bars don't really hold up and are way too springy. Mayhew really is the only way to go for quality/price.

Gonna need a multimeter/olm meter.

I love Knipex's smooth dipped, textured dipped, and their comfort grips. Strength and weaknesses, depending on the situation. Generally find myself prefering their comfort grips given most of my use cases. Mini bolt cutters are dipped, wish every day I use them that I had gotten the comfort...

Bought my first set of 3/8 dr hex bits in both metric and SAE off of Amazon, ARES branded. Not the first, but second day using them, 1/4 hex bit snapped resulting in a completely cut and peeled the skin off my knuckle. Was so pissed, I checked and saw the bits were still within the amazon return...

Comes down to the project you're working on. At work, I have battery-powered impacts, grinders, die grinders, drills, etc. that lay all around my work area that I can pick up, use, then set aside relatively quickly, while leaving my "main" tools, so-to-speak, left on my air hose for more...

Used the m18 hex impact driver for a good long while with 3/8 and 1/2 square adapters before picking up the m12 stubby 1/2 drive. Driver came free with the m18 1/2 big gun, so I tried it out in the shop. The main issue I ran into was the frequency in which the square adapters would break...

Plier rack fits just fine in either of the two 4'' drawers. For any pliers with springs, I just wrap a rubber band around the handles. Everything fits.

Bought the $2500 Tekton box for work, some others at my work have used Snap-on boxes so I budgeted $2500 to get a used box. Stumbled across Tekton's website, did a little digging, took a chance, very happy with the purchase. Thoughts after working out of it for about 8 months, I dislike the...

Third to last picture, you can see where the rotor lamination stack dragged against the stator lamination stack, that is because the shaft was spinning against the inner race of the bearing, you can see the shaft damage in the picture https://i.imgur.com/jvwr6yx.png When it was all together...

Most single-phase motors usually just need their large capacitor changed out after running for a couple of years, or decades. xD Not sure why you took yours apart, assuming it wasn't running correctly and wanted to diagnose/troubleshoot? If bearings are bad or are going bad, you'll hear them...

Cheap and/or old long T-Handle or regular L shaped allen keys, grind the tips into whatever shape you need and thickness. Work pretty well getting into tight spots that you need a bit of leverage and seem to hold up better than most screwdrivers.

Well, with Tekton's Tool Always Guarantee, when my current Trusty Cook's bite the dust, I guess I know where I'm getting my replacements.

SnapOn Talon Grip for needle-nose and slip-joint pliers. The joint needed to be worn in, similar to a new pair of boots, after that the gummy grips need to be replaced with some hard plastic aftermarkets, and then they are the best. Twisting metal and other odd jobs, the gummy material splits...
