Bought a rechargable 1800 lumens headlamp in 2015 for $20 and has served me well. The internal batteries are 18650. Something just like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088TG6Q44/?tag=atomicindus08-20 The wall charger seems to have stopped working. When connected to the headlamp, the status...

What is that black thing? Also, can someone suggest a basic wire solder tool for once every few years use? Occasional auto wire, appliance repair, etc.

One of my car's bulbs is out. I want to test for power at the bulb socket. When I test battery alternator for 14v, I set DVM to DC and 20V range. When you test for power, I think there is a different method? I once blew a fuse in the DVM. I think you set it for current, not voltage...

In my order history, I looked up an old pair of goggles I ordered in 2015 for $15. The price is now $31 and I figured crazy COVID inflation. But, then I did a fresh search, there are still options for $15, and even $10. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001YXFFM/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EVPMYSQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 The caliper pin is typically inside some tight sleeve. How does this tool work ?

I throw a hammer back into the bottom drawer. When I went to close the drawer above it, it got jammed. Could not open bottom drawer and the hammer must have roller upside down, handle blocking. Can not remove the upper drawer (HF cabinets don't remove drawers?). I found a piece of sheet...

Websites say these batteries only last 2-3 years. My Noco Boost just worked today, and it’s 4 years old, and it was at 100%. I got my Milwaukee M18 Fuel 3/8" impact in 2014. So, 6 years, and those batteries are still fine How long do Li-ion batteries last?

I heard that stainless steel bolts seize up and are worse than normal rusty bolts. Is it smart to avoid stainless steel bolts on cars, for stuff like exhaust? Is it better to just use galvanized or generic zinc bolts?

I had some cheap HF bolts kit and used a 4.8 bolt as a quick fix. I want to get a better quality stainless bolt. What markings indicate a higher quality or strength bolt?

I bought one of these kits years ago from a thread on GJ. I used mine this week to test a small motor. Friend wants one also. Where is the best place for someone to buy this today? Is $179 a good price ...

This tray is infuriating to deal with. You can't just press then down into place. So annoying to slide the bit, especially the long ones. I threw away the box and put everything in a Ziplock bag. Then I took the box out of the trash and smashed it with my hammer. So satisfying!

What situation calls for this tool ?

a quick spray and it's smooth and loose as butter!

Is there a reason to own these if you already have regular ratcheting wrenches?

Vacation house has crappy scattered incomplete tools. Once in a while, I need them and its a joke. Missing sockets. I'd like a cheapo home tool set. I don't need ratchets. Mainly a clean set of sockets. I already have screwdrivers, hammer, ratchet, drill. Drill bit set is ****. I have...

$99 for a swivel socket set. $20 more than pro caliber Sunex. https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-metric-impact-swivel-socket-set-10-pc-56696.html?_br_psugg_q=swivel+socket

I don't have a socket rail. I keep my 12mm to 22mm impact deep sockets in a small box. I'd like to paint the numbers on the side. Or get stickers. They aren't used that often, so not worried about numbers wearing off. How do you label your impact sockets?

I have limited garage space. Wasted storage potential is where I park my floor jack and jack stands. That 2x2 space of floor is used, but the air above it is totally wasted volume. I basically need a 30-32" wide shelf that has has 24" of clearance underneath. Like a shelf that is missing...
