Never worried about it that much. Whatever psi-ish has always been good enough for me.

They can claim all they want..that doesn’t make it true. Again, every state will be different, but here that claim would be ignored by anyone resembling law enforcement. It’s a civil matter through and through, and that’s the end of it. Law Enforcement wouldn’t even generate a report for that...

As to the first part…unless the seller tells the dealer/debt collector where it is, they’d never know. As to the second part, I’m sure it would vary by state to some extent. As a rule, without a court order they would have absolutely zero legal authority to enter your property to retrieve what...

I’ve heard this, and my HF plainly states to use water based cleaners only. I’ve only ever used PSC1000 or house brand Stoddards solvent since the day I bought it three, maybe it’s been four years ago. Pump has never missed a beat. Pump will probably die this afternoon now.

I don’t know…I’m four years into mine and it works just fine running PSC1000. I figure when it does go, I’ll just replace it with the same thing.

Cold hammer Forging is a common and well regarded practice in firearm barrel manufacturing.

When I worked for a very large Oil and Gas manufacturing plant in the late 90s and early 2000s, B&D Industrial were the only grinders we had. We started seeing some yellow grinders right before I left. I guess the tool crib must have bought a bunch of the gray ones, because I can remember...

I have three or four yellow 4-1/2s, and a couple of the old B&D gray 4" jobs. All paddle switch, no guards, no side handles. Yes, I am gonna die.. I do have a cordless 20v yellow 4-1/2 that gets the lions share of the casual use, usually with flap wheel.

I’m not sure about your part of the world, but pipeline welders here are self employed contractors. They supply everything but the pipe, from truck to boots. They’ll spend $25k on a welder to put on a $90,000 pickup. If the more expensive grinders were worth it, they’d have them.

Corded grinders haven’t changed that much in 30yr…. It’s not like these are metal cased Black and Deckers from 1953. A yellow grinder from 1995 and a yellow grinder from 2025 look, act, and feel pretty much the same. Folks act like a 4-1/2 grinder is the harbinger of death, and the epicenter...

We have five welding supply houses in the next town over, but the nearest Home Depot or Lowe’s is an hour away….and yellow and red is still the order of the day.

I’ve never seen a pipeline truck or a fab shop around here with anything but DeWalt or Milwaukee, with occasional 9” Makita that won’t die.

Well that looks like it will strip first time you look at it sideways.

It’s the commonly used term for a combination wrench around here. I grew up referring to them as end wrenches, and still do. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call them a combination wrench in person, only online.

I have one of the super cheap super Chinese Amazon LED lights that use my Dewalt batteries. Its incredibly useful. It will run 20+ hours on a 5ah battery, has a hook to hang, adjustable light head, two brightness levels, and a USB port to use as a battery bank if need be. I need to order a...

And there are hundreds of thousands of actual vintage Wiltons in shops and garages and junk stores and online auctions and estate sales for a fraction of the price of that import….

Vessel doesn’t make a US manufactured hard handle.

Seems to be the theme, after touting their intent to increase their US produced content.

Funny how folks perceive the exact same thing in such vastly different ways.

Interesting. My one and only experience was mailing a 1/2” ratchet with peeling chrome to the address on the site, and having a brand new one in my hands a week later. Never spoke to anyone.
