    Pipe fitting tools

    I have some pipe fitting tools for sale. I doubt any GJ users in western Canada will be interested but I would appreciate some indication of what these tools are worth. These were my fathers tools and he has passed. When I was young, I threaded a lot of pipe for him. I've probably threaded a...

    Is there an effective substitute for a trans jack?

    I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I thought about putting it into General Discussion. Mods: please move, as appropriate. I have to swap clutches in a manual trans in a mid 90s Ford 7.3. Suffice to say, I expect the trans to be pretty heavy. I don't have a trans jack and don't...

    Looking for a wrench case

    First, I apologize if this has been discussed. I got a ton of hits from a "wrench case" search but it's a needle in a hay stack. I'm tired of losing wrenches from my portable toolbox. They have always come back but it's a pain to look for them. Tool trays don't fit well. I'm thinking about...

    Stihl MS170

    Any good? I need to fell a few 12" trees and cut them into chunks small enough to band saw into usable wood. Any saw I get will end up cutting 3~10 treed in it's life and perhaps trim a couple of large bushes a time or two. I don't want to spend a bunch of money but I don't want a saw that is...

    Hansen clone socket tray deal at Princess Auto

    For my Canadian forum friends, Princess Auto has a sale on Hansen clone socket trays. I'm in Regina. I'm not sure which regions have the sale. The 3/8 drive trays are $5.99 each. These are 100% identical to Hansen. They are Power Fist branded. They are either knock-offs ore they came out...

    Milwaukee 2258-21h vs 2258-21 thermal imager

    I recall reading the 2258-21 was upgraded to the 2258-21h. I don't recall the differences. I'm pretty sure it is largely the same. Can someone highlight the differences?

    Looking for a good glass cutter

    I have a couple of glass cutting tools and that are pretty ****. In both cases, they sometimes etch glass very well and, in others, they don't. I'm sure they could work well with perfect technique but I suspect there are better quality cutters out there. I cut glass and mirrors fairly often...

    Can someone tell me if the Tough System Organizer trays are interchangeable with the trays in the small toolbox that tops the stack?

    Can someone help me with a Loctite question?

    I have some important axle bolts that need locktite. When I pulled the old shaft, I immediately cleaned up the bolts with WD40. That's just how I do it. Later, when I applied Locktite Blue, I realized the WD40 film (wiped off with a clean rag) might impede the hold of the Loctite glue. I...

    Any reproductions of the Eagle finger pump oil can?

    I notice the Eagle 66 goes for quite a bit of money on eBay. If necessary, I will pay it but I don't need the actual Eagle antique can. A clone is fine, as long as it works well. It would seem this is the only good quality North American design that hasn't been knocked off by the Chinese.

    DeWalt Tough System music player

    I'm a Milwaukee cordless guy but I love the Tough System and am excited about the new radio. I love the idea that I can roll up with music, tools, and whatever. Does anyone know when this will go on sale?

    Looking for step drill bits brand advice

    I need a step drill to drill a hole in a sink flange for a fresh water faucet. It's a bit of a rush job. I've only used Irwin and generic Chinese bits, over the years. None of my step bits is large enough. I've found Klein, Milwaukee, and Makita locally. All will drill big enough. They are...

    air tool inlet dust caps

    Does anyone know where I can find some air tool inlet dust caps? I need those rubber/plastic caps that cover the connector when the tool isn't being used. The ones that come with tools these days are so flimsy they break after a couple of uses.

    Picquic and Milwaukee screwdriver bit quality

    I picked up both the Picquic and Milwaukee multi-drivers a few weeks ago. Both had been used before, several times. I slightly prefer the overall design of the Picquic but the Milwaukee seemed to have better quality bits. Specifically, the Picquic #2 robertson is extremely poor quality. The...

    Husky rolling storage as miter stand

    I have a DeWalt 708 and 723 stand. I like them both very well. They make for an excellent miter platform but they are not all that convenient to move or store. A few months ago, I picked up a couple of Husky rolling storage boxes from Home Depot. They have two dados in the lid that can take...

    Reciprocating saw blade storage

    Has someone figured out a nice storage system to keep blades organized? I could use something, perhaps similar, for my jig saw blades, too. I'm trying to organize my portable toolboxes. I have a bunch of reciprocating saw blades that are loose in the top tray. I'd like to containerize those...

    Air compressor timer

    I've noticed quite a few threads on this forum, requesting air compressor timers. The vast majority of responses have been either to never have a leak or to install a master shut-off for the entire shop. Here's my implementation of a timer. I used a cheap, Chinese, relay from eBay. $6.50...

    Ryobi SPC18 contractor pack

    Is anyone familiar with the Ryobi SPC18? Any good? I did a search and couldn't find the model cited anywhere, nor could I find a reference to "contractor pack" so I hope I'm not rehashing an old topic.
