    Squeeze Knives! Lost my Bahco, cheap snap-on version?

    Hey guys, looking to replace one of my favorite novelty tools I've somehow lost (pretty sure it was stolen at work, been almost a year or more). Basically, it was a utility knife that you could squeeze to pop out the blade, hit a button to retract, and blade changeouts were about 5 seconds, so...

    Tiger foam diy spray insulation

    Has anyone had experience with Tiger foam in specific? I have read a good bit on Spray foam, and the professional stuff as well as the ability to rent the equipment. Tiger's system sounds like a decent value. I'd love to hear from someone who has used their product or something similar...

    Foam Board insulation over Kraft Batts?

    Hello guys, So I've got a 30x40 garage, and I've began the process of insulating it using kraft faced batts and rolls. My walls are 24" on center w/2x4s. So I'm maxed out at R15 that I can cram between the walls as far as batts. I've read of another project where a guy took foam board and...

    Cordless tool brand preferences

    Hey guys, So, I've been using the dewalt 18v stuff for some time now. I have most everything I need for work, and I've always said I'd move to the 20v versions if/when they add the tools I want in that line. Finally, they have a 2.5" portable band saw (not sure when it came out) as well as...

    Tire machine trick to not scratch painted wheels?

    Hello guys, Question for you. My tire shop fails to understand when I bring in a $275.00 wheel, I don't want a damn ring scratched all the way around it. Their excuse is it just can't be helped. I have 18x11 with 285/30-18s I have to get installed... I had one done for mock up and I don't...

    A "which wire strippers" and why, thread

    Hey fellow GJ members. Haven't really been around to chill and ask questions. Nor have I made any cool green-handled ratchets recently ( I really want to make a run again!). But I've been busy working, and now work in Iraq for a spell. Great career opportunity, surprisingly, and really fine...

    Heavy truck guys: The Ultimate brake adjusting tool?

    I hate this task, from the bottom of my heart. Seriously. I don't have anything that's very good at the haldex units with the anti-reverse mechanism. Its a 7/16ths hex on it. What I want, is something with this length...

    Cleco/Cooper air tools?

    I cam across some interesting tools at my local pawn shops today. It seems a few of them picked up some Cleco air tools, a few what look to be air ratchets with 1/2dr heads and very long bodies, and a reversible 3/8ths drive air impact with a hook or hanger on it, as well as what are clearly...

    Completed: Snap-on SLX80A hard handle conversion, and its friends...

    So I had a thread asking a few questions on adding a hard handle to an SLX80A long flex 1/2 drive snap on ratchet. Finally, got into the machine shop a few hours Friday, knocked the handle down to just over 1/2 in. Didn't get much else done till today when we re-opened. Knocked the extra meat...

    Mayhew vs catspaw hose clamp plier?

    As far as I know the main difference between the catspaw line is actually where the tool is made, correct? Their catspaw line is supposed to be made in Taiwan or the likes. Is it otherwise functionally identical and the same size as the standard one? The two pliers I'm talking about are the...
