In the aviation industry we have to have the tools we used for "returning an aircraft to service" calibrated. Been that way forever. My issue: nitrogen and oxygen regulators were being sent for calibration as required. I received a note in the last batch of tools that said in the future to...

I'm an airplane guy so I am going to ask a silly car question. I recently had my Nissan Xterra safety inspection done and the guy said my upper ball joints were worn out. An auto tech I know said the xterras typically do not wear out ball joints. My question is this: the ball joints are...

This is an article my wife found..have to make sure it is real and word may be out already.... Harbor Freight Tools settled a class action lawsuit that could give shoppers up to 30% back on all of their purchases. The lawsuit was brought on by Dworken & Bernstein due to misleading sales prices...

We are a dedicated stream light using shop. I have one baa fling issue. I keep one of my charges with my road tools and plug it into vehicle power most of the time. Issue is the batteries don't seem to take much of a charge. Same battery on AC charge and "looks good last long time" I've...

Just found this while looking at aircraft tools. Never saw it before but it looks to have several applications in my industry. I think it's about $12.00. Gonna get one to see how it works.:thumbup:

I am considering having an exorcism done on my tool box. It seems that everyone who wants to borrow a tool knows with 100% accuracy said tools location. The problem is that my tool box must emit some sort of an amnesia wave when the tools get returned because most of the time the tools are left...

I am a big fan of paper catalogues. I wanted one for gear wrench and contacted Apex tool group and they happily sent three catalogues. It wasn't just gearwrench but also Armstrong, Allen, etc.etc. Please know theses catalogues are physically heavy, I actually split one in two so it's easier to...

So I went to Tractor Supply to get a critter trap. I thought for fun I would look at there tractor parts.....I was not really impressed with the selection not a whole lot to speak of. Is it that way in all of their stores?

I just started a thread about cotter pin pullers and I used the term " Dikes" referring to diagonal wire cutters. I wondered why I have used this term for years without really thinking what it meant. Here's what I found. Diags or Dikes (a portmanteau of "Diagonal CutterS" is pronounced "dikes")...

Has anyone used one of these. I typically use a pair of side cutter (dikes) to grab the head of the cotter pin and use a hammer to bonk the cotter pin out. Not sure how robust this removal tool would be?

I have finally resigned myself to the fact that as you get older you may have to use reader glasses. I noticed having to hold things farther away in order to read. As an experiment I bought a pair of readers from the dollar stor...holy **** I could see again. Soon after I had an eye exam and...

I recently bought a new snap on Mini Rechargeable Shop Light, 250 Lumens. Model # ECFHKY. It's an awesome little light with a strong magnetic base. No more hollering at the person holding the flashlight. The light also pivots on the magnetic base and stays where u put it. Battery life is most...

I am in the aviation maintenance business and we calibrate just about everything: torque wrenches, multimeters, oxygen and nitrogen gauges, tire gauges, thermometers, scales......you get the idea. We are required since the tools can be used to "return an aircraft to service". My questions is...

My socket, ratchet and extension drawer is a half organized half cluttered affair. My sockets are under adequate control. My issue was with ratchets and extension tossed into baskets and wherever. I needed a way to organize and account for those suckers. I tried several shadowing methods...

I have a dedicated "lube cart" for grease guns, LPS etc. it's convenient to roll it where your working at. I kept piling my grease guns in the top and it made a giant mess. I came up with this idea to keep all the grease gun ooze away from my guns as much as possible. I took some scrap...

In the Aviation maintenance business we have thousands of different pieces of hardware(screws,nuts,bolts,washers,etc.) that were in storage bins and organized but it was hard to use. The bins would catch each other and spill and it was hard to see if the bin was getting low. In my other shop I...

I work in the aircraft maintenance industry and we use some unique tools and products in our trade that I would like to share. I have taken lots of advise and ideas so it's time to give back.
