I need some good podcasts for the way to work... would like some on these subjects: cars, tools, diy, home improvement, etc. Anyone know any? Can't watch youtube on way to work unfortunately (although I have tried). :D
Something to use in case I get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Car is a compact (yeah yeah I know). Would like to use without killing myself too (always a plus).
Picked this up a few weeks ago:

Expensive but I always wanted one. :D
Anyone else have one?
Anyone else paranoid that for whatever reason their torque wrench is out of calibration and you'll break something? It's making my OCD go crazy. :shocking::shocking::shocking:
Cordless die grinders, cordless angle grinders, cordless sawzall... do you guys think these tools are just giving thieves an easy way to steal things? Consider how easy it is now for bicycle thieves, a cordless angle grinder can easily cut through most steel and will fit in your backpack. And if...

Putty: console application
PuttyGen: generating...

I still find, even in this day and age, the need to send a fax about 3-4 times a year. Worth it to buy a fax machine or is this just a ridiculous thought.

Not sure where else to put it and something to watch out for.
Another thread had me thinking, has anyone considered there own makeshift DIY "Jaws of Life" for extracting others from car accidents? Would a cordless sawzall with a high quality metal cutting blade and bolt cutters be sufficient?
This is in lieu of emergency help obviously, when someone is...
Farmers in Nebraska, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and New York are staging something of a mechanical revolt. They're attempting to get legislation passed in their states that would enable them, for the first time since the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, to repair their own tractors or get...
