I was browsing Temu, and came across this interesting adjustable flare wrench. Not something I've seen before and Google doesn't seem to know much about it either, as I got few results after a keyword search. Has anyone ever come across this style of wrench?

I like to use masking tape to make labels for things, but am having a problem with it getting moldy and degrading over time in the humid environment sometimes that is sometimes my garage. I've used name brand stuff that claims to be "outdoor, heavy duty and moisture resistant," but, still have...

Did something dumb. Opened up a sump pump of mine to clean out the impeller and ended up dumping the cooling oil right out of it. It looks like I can refill it but not sure what to use (or even if that's a good idea). Thoughts?

I'd like to coat some rubber bushing through-bolts with something to prevent galling and was wondering if I could use Permatex's garden variety anti-seize. Would it be all right to use it or could it degrade the rubber?

This question is in regards to a true-RMS clamp meter set on amps ac,,, On the non-inrush setting, is the value displayed considered to be a true-RMS reading of the current waveform it's analyzing? When on the inrush current reading, is that simply just giving you the largest peak current...

I wanted to use a power supply to charge an automotive or deep cycle lead-acid battery (lead-calcium and lead-antimony, I think). It seems a good charge voltage seems to be around 14.3 or so, but am not sure what how low I should make the amp value drop to consider it fully charged. I've heard...

It looks like SBD has re-instated the lifetime warranty on Craftsman-branded bench vises. I'm wondering if, like the tape measures, that only applies to ones produced after the company took over operations or if they just decided to cover all of them, like the sockets, wrenches, etc... Anyone...

Hey, guys. Just wondering what grease might be best to use on jaw puller or coil spring compressor-type threads. Something that would help prevent them from getting damaged or "galled" up from all the twisty force they endure. I suspect something labeled extreme pressure or moly-infused would be...

I was screwing in a 1-1/2" PVC plastic ****** into a return line on an in-ground pool today and the darn thing snapped right off leaving just the threads behind, which are now stuck inside its mated fitting, Roaming the aisles at Home Depot tonight, I picked up a tub drain extractor, which...

The sole plate in my garage is rotten all the way around as the original builder used non-pressure treated lumber (over open cinder blocks, no less) The wall studs, especially where they connect to the plate are also wasted. I wanted to rebuild the wall a section at a time- including replacing...

Having a problem with a cheap Chinese string trimmer I own. The splines on the end of the driveshaft which engage the clutch bell up top has worn down to the point it no longer turns. The (female) splines end on the clutch bell look undamaged. I'm gonna order a replacement shaft but was...

I'm rebuilding a garage wall due to a rotted base plate and lower part of the wall studs connected to it. Apparently I'm not very good at "eyeing" what a good piece of replacement beam should look like, as what I've been finding at my local home center turns out being warped, twisted, bowed when...

Would this big boy pictured below be able to cut thin-stranded welding cable or is it meant for thicker strand stuff? I have some 1 gauge down to 3/0 wire that that I want to cut for different projects. The cutters are rated for (up to, I'm assuming) 1000 MCM copper.

Do those portable boost packs thingees, like the HF one pictured below, have higher voltage outputs compared to your garden variety lead calcium automotive battery? I've been using the latter to jump start vehicles, but been wondering if I've been missing out on a little extra oomph by not using...

I'd like to use a 3/4" air impact wrench with 1/2" impact sockets and was wondering if I'd lose any significant twisting force on actual fastener by having the 3/4" to 1/2" adaptor in between the 2.

Trying to re-assemble this switch, which came out of a Bosch R/O sander, and can't figure out where the clip circled in white goes. Any guesses?

Anyone know how to get this booger to turn? Been fiddling with it and can't figure it out... Does the propane have to be on 1st, maybe?

Wanted to do this on at least some larger sized punches I have. Thought about using an emery cloth or wet/dry sandpaper with maybe some oil trying to follow the angle on them. Good idea or is there a better way?

https://www.harborfreight.com/titanium-nitride-coated-alloy-steel-sae-tap-die-set-45-pc-61411.html Any thoughts as to whether "alloy" steel mentioned in the decript means carbon or HSS?

The yellow kind, which I guess is just a thicker version of the white kind, says it's safe to use on "gas," but I imagine that refers to natural gas. Does gasoline, though, eat this stuff up?
