Just the ODG color. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/pelican-1700-protector-case-long-case These ordinarily go for $300+. This is the OG Pelican case: heavy, super tough, made in USA, lifetime warranty. Rarely do I see these go on good sale.

Found these on a "New Items" end cap today. They look identical to Astro Pneumatic's 78215 set. Item number 59770 doesn't come up on their website yet, but you might find these hiding at a local store. Price at my store was $44.99 before a universal 10% off coupon

The Olsa was quite the dark horse in this comparison, IMO. I found it a bit odd that he would include the Wera as it's a roto-head, I suggested in the comments that he do a complete roto-head comparison for a more apples-to-apples test.

A little disappointed he didn't include the ESCO Tripod-style stands, but the clear winner of this comparison was the U.S. Jack garage stands, thanks to their very wide legs. Note that even the cheapest Chineseum stand he tested, failed at a whopping 9235 lb downward load for a single stand...

https://www.harborfreight.com/merchandising-promotions/new/6-in-hitch-vise-58880.html Elegant design that is conventional when mounted to a bench top, but the static jaw becomes the dynamic jaw when mounted in a hitch receiver. Haven't seen one in person, but sure looks a lot lighter and...

Really good value for the money, at the cost of some cutrate QC. Full disclosure, I got this Yost 650-C from Amazon Warehouse, ostensibly because the original purchaser rejected the notable defect in this vise. Unpacking it, so far so good. Vise came in good shape, no obvious damage...

The showdown we've all been waiting for :lol_hitti

I went to use my 72 tooth 3/8" flex head (3726Z-280-72T) last week and felt a rough edge on it. Upon closer inspection the chrome was flaking off. I looked around and found multiple areas where the chrome had begun to peel and flake, so there must have been a batch that received poor chroming...

Seems technology really does progress. Got this Makita xwt17z yesterday to supplement my old Ingersoll-Rand W7150, since the big IR gun doesn't fit in a lot of places I need it to. The teal tool is nearly 3" shorter. Despite the lower overall torque rating (520 ft lbs vs 780 for the IR), I ran a...

Found this guy at a local flea market for $5, as a huge proponent of beam wrenches I had to take it home with me. First torque wrench I've ever seen that has a scale in centimeter-kilograms. Was this a common unit of measurement at any point? Standard SI torque unit is newton-meters and...

This is a tour of The USS New Jersey (BB-62)'s machine shop, which is currently still used by Ken Kersch, a Vietnam-era machinist who served aboard the NJ back in the 60s. He takes us through all kinds of lathes, a couple of milling machines, and several other tools that are both from the 1980s...

I've read a few reviews for ratcheting adapters on amazon and other websites that mentioned their necessity for use with speeder handles on aviation stuff. What's the deal there? Some kind of safety regulation? :confused:

Looking to use them on old school beam style torque wrenches. None of them seem to advertise how many teeth the ratcheting mechanisms are. Also concerned with backdrag. Been looking at Proto J5247/J5447, and Ko-ken 3755/4755. The Protos are a bit cheaper, but I know Ko-ken has a reputation for...

Only the second time using the 13mm out of the JSCVM-14SA 14-piece set. I spot-checked a few other wrenches both larger and smaller, none of them exhibit the same problem so hopefully just a fluke. To their credit, Proto customer service is sending a new one out to me with no return required...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W8KJH44/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Anyone here got one yet? They appear to have debuted a few months ago. They have 1, 2, 5, and 10 amp versions. The 5 and 10 amp versions have a repair mode and force mode which will push 5 or 10 amps, respectively, into a battery even...

I have a 20+ year old craftsman tankless 1.2hp compressor that I've been using for years as a tire inflator for my fleet of vehicles. It's been very convenient because it only weighs about 10-15 lbs and is easy to tote around. A couple nights ago I went to put air in the tires of my girlfriend's...

This guy broke a tired old Prentiss in a previous clamping force test, but he gave it new life by brazing a bunch of reinforcements onto the original casting, and boring out a pocket in front for a sealed ball bearing. The results are very impressive. Sadly most of these mods are not really...

Hey guys, today I'd like to give an honest review of a product I was sent by a manufacturer rep for evaluation, the Beaudens B-1502 power station. The unit came in packed quite nicely in a box with closed-cell foam surrounding it. I doubt this unit will end up damaged in shipping for anyone...

I learned about this a few months ago from an Aussie youtube review (warning, a few profanities spoken): Anyway, it's finally available now in the U.S. market for the tidy sum of $300: https://www.ozcharge.com/jump-starters/ozcharge-rescue-mate-rm1000-batteryless-capacitor-jumpstarter/...
