I was driving down the freeway,and saw that in the local Harley shops parking lot,was several decked out SO big rigs,and I believe it was called "The No Compromise Tour" Pretty cool.You could walk up into these wide open trailers that were all decked out with the HUGE boxes like the...

I cut 4 sections of 2 inch angle steel,and welded them in the shape of a picture frame,to make a shelf for a grinder.After I gas welded the corners,it's warped so it doesn't sit flat.I wish I had a picture,but I don't.It's still square,but it's not sitting flat.Any tips on how to correct it...

I've got dust problems at the shop giving me a heavy feeling in my chest,and have been researching solutions.The 25 by 25 repair shop is a real dirt/dust environment from working on outdoor power equip.which requires lots of sharpening with grinders and belt sanders.Plus everythings plain dirty...

We have a drill press at work that the key is missing,and I have a brand new chuck with a key that I'd like to put on,since it doesn't cost anything. (the keys are different in pitch ) They both say 13mm on the outside,it looks like it's right-hand threads.I tried holdng the pulley up...

I bought a new SO 14.4v 3/8 cordless impact,and was wondering if other guys that have this model have experienced this condition: When I release the trigger,at times I have seen it shoot out a straight lightning bolt-like spark about 8 inches long.Sometimes at the 2 o'clock position,other...

Reading the other thread about the old days for buying SO tools,I noticed how small the truck was,and was wondering how they would fit like a 72 incher in there.Anyone know when they started making the big and deep boxes? It would be neat to see what the ones from the 60's on up.Just wonderin'...

I was wondering if anyone here has one of these tops on their SO rollcab.They say it doesn't chip or scratch and is chemical resistant.I remember asking our SO man about it and he never sold one yet,so I thought I'd ask about it here.Thanks Steve

I hate it when I have to drill out a rivet,like lets say its a pop rivet,and its going thru plastic,amd it starts spinning & melting its way thru the plastic.I'm hoping someone here knows the best way to drill out rivets. Thanks in advance for any tips! Steve

I am interested in buying one of these,and was hoping that someone here uses one,so I could get opinions on if it's a good one or not.I like that it's so compact and thin,it looks like I could really use it in lots of applications where a regular 3 in.cutoff wouldn't fit. I'd like to know...

Today I had a heck of a time getting two riding mower-sized tires to completely pop up on the bead on their rims.I was able to do it with lots of soap,and repositioning the tire,and fast-filling it without the core in it with a non-osha approved-type blow gun,but gosh,I was afraid it would...

A few years back,Sears used to sell these little bottles.I believe it was called that.It was like a lapping compound but the solution it it really suspended it like nothing else.Anyway,it worked super good,like on the end of a hex key,to break frozen allen bolts out,without stripping.I ran out...

Today at work I had to remove the oil return hoses for the hydro system on a zero-turn rider at the lawnmower shop.It uses 3/8 inch push-on hose,with the screw-in type clamps that really stick the hose to the ribs of the brass barbed fittings.I ended up having to replace them so I wasn't worried...

I was wondering why these never come up for sale.Did they only make the KRL777 in small numbers? The only ones I've seen are the 95th anniversary Harley ones.I've never seen a red one.I know my old dealer used to sell them. Pretty neat to see one in the garage of the character that Clint...
