Wife has recently been making bullet jewelry, and cutting the slices of bullet cases has proven to be the most difficult part of the process. Been using a Dremel tool with cut off wheel, takes forever. Made a jig for the bandsaw, bullet gets too hot. Been putting some of the longer cases in my...

just picked up a big boy meter lol...my cheapy craftsman took a dump, and my buddy sold me his old one, its a blue point MT586B, i'm not sure what the fluke equivalent is exactly, but the size is like an 87-88. features wise i havent done the research. it does more than i'll ever use. its been...

Any of you ever build (or research) a smoke machine? Seen the YouTube vids of the paint can and charcoal, I'm looking for more along the lines of plug in (110 or 12v) heat up baby/mineral oil kinda deal. And adapter ideas. One of those things I can't justify buying, but could spend some time on.

In the market for another jump box. There is currently 4 dead booster Pac brand ones at the shop, a shumaker/matco one that eats a battery in less than 3 weeks, some off brand ones that don't work, and a harbor freight one that might start a car on a good day. So, what do you guys like? Do you...

Probly asked a hundred times, but the boss epoxied the floors in the new shop, light grey, and there is gravel outside the door. That I can deal with, but a couple drops of oil/trans fluid etc, and it's a skating rink. I know pig mats/rags etc to catch it before it's on the floor, but stuff...

So I've come to the point I need to redo my wrench drawer. I currently have kra15 racks for everything up to 19mm/3/4, and lucked out that my gearwrench double box set fit up to 25mm with a little modification to lay down the 24 and 25 a little more. I have several larger combo wrenches laying...

I wear not nitrile gloves working on cars, I prefer black, they tend to look better in my opinion than the white/blue/purple. My favorite are the midnight brand, but black lightning, black dragon, raven are all ok. I picked up a couple boxes of the sas ones napa has on sale for $10 this month...

Looking into setting up a computer at work...used to have a laptop sitting in my box. It worked. But my thought is a desktop tucked to the side with a 32" tv for monitor, wireless mouse and keyboard. Thoughts? Btw I have a 68" epic with a left side locker. I got room.

My buddy recently aquired his uncles 4 bay Matco box, he was a body guy judging by the tools inside. Box is in good shape, but takes both hands and feet to open the drawers. Like I have put my foot against the caster to get better leverage. Doesn't matter if it's a big or small drawer, heavy or...

Looking for locker organization ideas. I just got my epic locker today and haven't even taken it of the pallet yet. :rocker: so rather than dig thru all the toolbox thread I'm asking you guys to do a locker only thread. I figure I should free up a lot of space in my 68 by moving all the cases...

I have had this 3/8 blue point impact for a few years now, I love it. Hands down one of the best tools I've ever bought. Got it used for $50 crackhead special. Guy would sell off tools every week to my old snappy guy and I was one of the next stops. Anyway I'm looking into a new 1/2 inch impact...

So I noticed the Matco 1/4 inch impact looks an awfull lot like the makita in a different color....does that mean if I buy a makita impact/ drill (12v) will the batteries interchange with my Matco 12v ratchet? No one has the smaller makita stuff in the shop so I can try. And why doesn't makita...

Saw the same ratchet in the cornwell flyer, so someone makes these outside the trucks. Also does anyone know if the 16v and 12v are interchangeable like snappys 7.2/14.4?

Should I pull the trigger on the matco 12v infinium ratchet, or do my garagejournal brothers have a better sugestion? This is for everyday use and abuse in a professional environment. I've been using a co-workers 10.8v matco one and love it. Any suggestions?

I recently had my stream light stylus pro disappear during moving, was wondering what you guys prefer for your shirt pocket? It's been with me everyday for the last couple yrs, just wish it was brighter.

http://annarbor.craigslist.org/tld/4325233462.html is it a snappy? looks wrong in the little pics, plus wouldn't the emblem be on the right?

I hate them. recent changes at the shop has made them "mandatory at all times in the shop" as well as gloves. which means company supplies them, which means they are the cheapest thing they can find on gloves, but decent safety glasses they got a deal on. my problem is I have a splitting...

looking for ideas, have a 68" epic, gloss black with chrome trim, thinking about changing up the trim color/finish. not a chrome/polished fan. anyone done this? tried it? powdercoat? anodize? plastidip?

I know I'm not the only one on this site with a bit of o.c.d.... anyone have sources for the plastic trays that snap on sets come in? my driver has no interest in assisting me with this, I've been trying to find a couple of the mini pick set trays for like two yrs. maybe we post up extras we...
