Hi guys and gals, It's been a while since I've needed help finding something, but I'm absolutely striking out on this one... I've looked over McMaster and MSC's offerings but neither seems to have a metric SCREW MACHINE length index (1 - 13mm x 0.5mm) What I've done so far is hot glue in wood...

Good morning all, Does anyone know of a cup-style seal installer set (i.e. the installers / drivers are cup-shaped) on the market? All the ones I can find (and already own) are solid cylinders of steel or aluminum. I need this for installing bearing and shaft seals where there is a rubber lip...

To those of you who own an XPR-10 or -10A, or have installed one, Did you really torque the hold-down nuts on the concrete anchor studs to 90 ft-lbs? I have them torqued to 55 ft-lbs, and I'm worried that if I tighten to 90, I might pull them out. They are anchored at the recommended 3-3/4 to...

A few years ago, I bought a few packs of foam cut-out insert liners from Sears (you know, the kind you trace the profile of your tool onto and cut through with an x-acto knife so your tool is held in place). About six months ago, I used one of these to store a new set of Gearwrenches and...

I've been a lurker for a few years now, and just now rediscovered GarageJournal, and decided to join. I'm a mechanical design engineer who designs parts washers for a living, and then I oversee their construction, sometimes helping out with the latter (this is one of the great parts of my...
