I don't know how hinge-sighting drills are sized. Are they sized by the drill bit diameter or by the sleeve/guide diameter? I have a broken-off M10 automotive steel bolt that has broken off 1/4" down the threaded hole of the aluminum transmission case. When the bolt broke off it took with it...

I am looking for a small oilless airbrush compressor with at least a 3-liter tank. Noise level should be under 50 decibels. Looking at online reviews has not helped me much, mostly because most reviews seem to be by the people who sell the compressor in question. Many don't even run the...

I want to buy self-gripping #1 and #2 Phillips screwdrivers. I see differently designed mechanisms that hold the screw securely to the tip. Which of the designs is the preferred one? The types I see work with either e three-pronged claw or with a tip that spreads in the slots.

I have a snap setter for Line 20 snaps. The setter looks like punch and you give it a few good whacks with hammer to compress the snap post, so that the sap is set. The problem is that often the snap post does not compress properly but gets bent, which results in the two snap halves being...

This is for covering up a ratty looking kitchen floor that is covered in square 12" vinyl tiles. I know that those cheap sticky vinyl tiles I see at THD are not very good. If there is a better and not much more costly alternative, I will consider it. Please advise, if you have suggestions...

I have noticed that my car's door warning light features a rectifier diode. I "think" rectifier diodes are meant to block high voltages. Why would the door warning light (red light in the door panel that comes on when door is opened), which runs on 12-14.5 Volt be equipped with such a diode...

Hi there, I plan on getting a Powerbuilt 940962 Drive Digital Torque Adapter, so that I can check and if necessary calibrate my two torque wrenches. The problem is, I cannot find any documentation telling me where the adjustment provision is on either torque wrench. The cap on the end of the...
