Has anyone here used a Freud Diablo carbide tipped metal cutting blade? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOBAX6S/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I have seen a lot of youtube videos about it and read some customer reviews, but it will be nice to get an idea from any member here who has actually used it for...

Hey guys, I need your help in deciding on which torque wrench to purchase. The first one is this made in India model (160 ft-lb) priced at $60: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B01K9IISDS/ while the other is Tekton (I am guessing made in Taiwan) 150 ft-lb and $70: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B00C5ZL0RU/...

The service manuals of most cars and SUVs specify tire lug bolt fastening torque in the range 80 - 100 ft lb, yet I see many people over tightening the bolts to more than 300 ft -lb with air impact wrenches. Isn't this likely to stretch the bolts and ruin them over time?

I found two 1/2" Chicago Pneumatic impact wrenches on Amazon.in (CP7748 and CP7736). CP7736 has a peak torque of 900 N-m and costs about $165 here, while CP7748 is 1250 N-m and $277. My question is to somebody who has used both wrenches: is the additional torque of CP7748 worth spending $112...

Please advise whether this made in England 1/2" drive, 740 N-m (546 ft lb) wrench is any good: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B00ZR3IUXE/ Thanks.

Friends, I got my new 4 1/2" quick release Apex (made in India) vise. It is based on the old Parkinsons vise of England. It has double ribbed slide and bronze nut, weighs about 45 lb.

Hello friends, I am getting this two-axis, India made compound vise (5", 40 lb) for $140. Can you tell me if it is worth the price. Thank you.

Hey guys, My heavy duty drill stand (110 lb) has developed a sideways play. It is not much, but noticeable on the downward movement. When it is in the drilling position, it stays fixed but the whole handle assembly jiggles a little to the side when bringing the drill down for positioning. I...

Friends, What are your thoughts about this 6" vise with a double-rib and 7" jaw opening, weighing 57 lb? It is Made in India and claimed to be "heavy-duty". Thanks for your inputs.

Many of us have broken a vise by either hammering on it, or by using it as a press. It will be instructive to share our experience in this regard. I confess I have never broken a vise (but often came very close to doing so). Maybe I am not working too hard!:lol_hitti What has been your...

Here's a 100+ year old ball-peen hammer I restored. It is 3 lb and made in England (manufacturer markings lost).

I had posted an earlier thread about trying to make up my mind about buying an 8" sturdy vise. Today my dilemma increased when I found a knock-off of old Record Vise No.24 with a quick release mechanism. The original was made in England, but this is by an Indian manufacturer (Apex). It has 6"...

Gentlemen, I came across these two made in India 8" vises which have the same opening (9") and weight (around 96 lb). However, the green one has a bronze nut and a single slide whereas the blue one has a steel nut and a double slide. The blue costs 5% more than the green one. I like the vintage...

I am thinking of mounting one of my old 8" bench vises such that its jaws are flush with the table top (like a woodworking vise). It will rest on a pillar support, and the rear jaw will be buried 1" into the side of the table. I am just wondering if anyone has tried it.:shocking:
