    Comparing vise manufacturing

    So it Sunday morning and I am bored, so I started researching vise manufacturing cast vs forging. Seems even though many cast vises are more expensive than forged vises, the general consensus is that forged vises are stronger. Am I missing something? (and before anyone tells me to use the...

    Williams sockets. I am sure this has been covered somewhere

    Looking for info please. Trying to sort out the product numbers for williams USA vs williams taiwan products. I believe they don't make 6 point 1/2 inch drive sockets, so that is easy to figure out. After that it gets rather hard to figure as sites like amazon.ca dont list coo. Anyone able...

    Looking to pull the trigger on Williams Supercombo. Good price?

    I am looking at Amazon.ca and saw Williams tools on sale, looking at getting both the sae and metric sets. Now for Amazon this is a good price but I am wondering if I would be better to buy in the USA (considering the exchange rate too)

    Sk vs Gearwrench

    Sk is on sale at one of the sites I frequent. I have Gearwrench socket sets already but am debating upgrading to the Sk. Is there that big a difference? I have been very happy with the Gearwrench to date but hard to turn up a deal....

    Generators

    Been a while since I last posted (been working my **** off). So I find myself in a dilemma over Inverter Generators. My first inclination is to buy a Yamaha 3000. On sale right now for $2000 (can) which is a steal. However in researching I have found many Chinese built ones that actually...

    Gewrwrench Question

    So I have a question about Gearwrench sockets. I know GW has stuff from Taiwan and China. And so far it has been my experience that all their 120xp wrenches and sockets are strictly Taiwan where as most other wrenches are China and all other sockets are a **** shoot on which you get. So the...

    Anyone have experience with Linde Mig 250GS?

    So I was at a new welding supply store today and they are stocking Linde welders. I literally have zero experience with these, and as I have spent half the night looking for info on them, I have found very little. The price is very good, compared to Miller, but Miller is such a great power...
