Good Currently Manufactured Arbor Press Any suggestions on good, new arbor presses? Don't want to spend anywhere near $1,000 for one. Is it possible to get one under $300? I don't know a lot about them, but would like a bench-top version. At least 1-1/2 ton or more? (Am not interested in...

Does anyone know if there is a company that makes an end-cutter, similar to these Knipex cutters, but that do a flush cut? This picture makes these appear to be flush cutting, but they are not. I have this pair and they work well in general, but don't cut flush. I'm guessing it would make...

Hello. I'm looking for some trusted online dealers for a couple of types of crimp terminals - Genuine Anderson Powerpoles. The terminals I need are for 10, 8 and 6 ga stranded wire. Looking for the 45 amp and 75 amp Powerpoles. May want to try out the larger Powerpole SB connectors at some...

Does anyone know if Klein has improved their lineman pliers lately? I know a few years ago, Klein pliers went downhill and didn't hold up like they used to. I've been looking at some of their heavy duty models - the 2000 series and am wondering if they are much improved? A friend of mine is a...

I'm looking at ratcheting crimpers for heat shrink splice connectors. I currently have a Titan crimper that is advertised for heat shrink and it works for the red and yellow, but not the blue connectors (for 14ga). It doesn't crimp far enough with blue connectors. I would like to upgrade. I've...

I just purchased a set of these Carlyle crimpers: The non-insulated crimp section does not work well at all. It makes a very small indent and you can pull the wire out of the connector. I have several other crimpers that work well and I know how to crimp. I can crimp the same connectors...

It's badged as "Titan" in this example, but I've seen other names on the basic mechanism. I've also seen some Mac models that looked like a similar mechanism. Anyone know the OEM? (It's made in Taiwan.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002R68AN4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Thanks.

Does anyone have a recommendation on good anti-vibration gloves to use while running power tools, such as weed trimmers, angle grinders, etc.? Thanks.

Has anyone seen or used both of these saws? If so, is one better than the other? Any other impressions? I've read good things about both, so don't know that either one would be a bad decision. I do wish Makita made a 14" version of their LC1230 dry saw. Thanks.

I used to have a Makita 9557PB angle grinder that had a good paddle switch that worked well. I'm now looking at a Metabo 6" grinder with a paddle switch that looks similar to Makita's paddle switch. Has anyone here had a recent Metabo with a paddle switch and what did you think about it? Was it...

Anyone have a currently-manufactured Fein angle grinder (made in the last ~2 years)? If so, does it work well? I recently bought one - a 6", 13 amp model and am a little disappointed in it. Compared to my other grinders (Metabo and Hitachi), it vibrates more than the others and the gear box...

I have some fixed speed models, but have thought about a Metabo 5" variable speed angle grinder. Do current models of the Metabo overheat when running it at slower speeds? Thanks.

Williams Screwdrivers - Question Regarding the Blades Hello, I know the Williams screwdrivers have a good reputation, so I'm thinking I've just run into a bad lot. I've tried two different sets of the Williams 8 piece sets on Amazon and they had QC problems. Most of the flat blade drivers are...

Hello, folks. I'm a new member, but have been reading the forum for a while. I've learned a lot from everyone and enjoy being here. I just bought a Felo 374 Ratcheting Screwdriver and wondered if any of you have one? Here's what it looks like: It feels great and is very ergonomic, but have...
