I work industrial maintenance in a tier 1 facility. Got to thinking about some of the interesting names we call things and if other places also have creative names for things. For example, quarter inch impact drivers are burp burps. 4 conducter 4/0 cable is Donkey ****. 4 conductor 3/0 is...

I have a Masterforce 41 inch at work. I love the thing and am looking for a side locker to put my bag, welding helmet, welding jacket and even my coat in this winter. I am ready to get one, the thing is I have never ever seen one, they are special order at any Menards I have ever been at. Has...

So I was given this guy for free, it's a great welder. I put all new cards in it so internally it's brand new. I just don't need anything this big and I think I want to sell it and put it towards a beater 4wd. Not really sure what it's worth. I know they are around 4500 new.

I am looking at Grey Pneumatic and Blackhawk. Both are comparable in price. Any thoughts?

Looking to pick up a set of adjustable ones for work. Does anyone have any opinion on pin type or hook type? What does everyone else have?

So thinking about getting a set of these. Think they would be very hand for oil, grease and air lines on the presses at work. Has anyone ever used them before? What are your opinions? I can get them. For 40 bucks.

I work as a maintenance tech in a pretty large factory. We probably stamped or made something in any of your cars. My job is very eclectic, from fabrication to plc troubleshooting and programming and everything in between. Just wondering what everyone else in the field lugs around with them...

Saw these in Meijer today. Seem pretty nice. I picked up a set. Kudos to MIT for more USA made products. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Any idea on age or any other info for this rat a coworker picked up?

Well, I made myself kind of sick today. I am meticulous about cleaning my tools and keeping them looking brand new. Wd40, degreaser, parts washer, whatever. I work in industrial maintenance and it can be a challenge but I generally succeed and my stuff still looks brand new after years of...

A friend pick up this guy at a garage sale for free. He was wondering about what model and age it may be. Any ideas? Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

I am in the Market for a multi meter, a decent one but I can't afford 250 bucks for a Fluke and I don't really need something that awesome for my use anyway. Out of everywhere I have looked, the Craftsman ones seem the most decent. They are made in China but so are Flukes. Does anyone have...

Anyone have any opinion on Craftsman Industrial boxes? Great prices at the Sears Outlet, I am just worried I won't have tall enough drawers for my hasen socket racks. I am thinking a Harbor Freight 44 with my HF side cab on it would be better. I need to upgrade my box so everything I have fits...

After 15 years at my current place of employment I am headed to bigger and better things at another factory. I work in industrial maintenance and currently do capital maintenance. Installing new equipment, fabricating all manner of things, etc etc. My current place is a 100 K square foot...

So, things that tend to break a lot I get something I can warranty easily at a local store, so Lowe's, Sears and Menards it is. Tool trucks don't come to the factory and I can't afford to wait Lord knows how long to send something in. Sears and Menards are great, absolutely no hassle at all...

So I asked about getting some stickers for my toolbox on the Channellock Facebook page the other night. Like 2 nights ago. I got home from work to find UPS had left this on the porch. 4 awesome stickers, a neat book and a set of 440 12 inch Channies and a nice card! I am gobsmacked! How awesome...

Drill bits are something I rarely think about, namely because they are consumables and free for me at work. Get a drill index, go to the tool crib at work and fill it up with basic, cheap bits. Well yesterday I was having a helluva time drilling through an eighth inch red iron support column...

Went into work today to fix some stuff while production wasn't running and do some PM's. Tore apart a metal part handling conveyor to tighten it up as it was rubbing on an electric conduit below. Dropped a quarter inch bolt, chased it down it ended up 15 feet away thanks to kicking it as it...

How useful are they? Do I need a set? I mean of course I "need" them, but would I use them?

Because they came from the factory in Elyria with the jaws and everything else red... http://toledo.craigslist.org/tls/4704801681.html
