    AMZCNC Hydraulic Crimping Tool and Cable Cutter

    I picked up this hydraulic crimper in early 2022. Well, I finally got around to using it last November doing a car audio installation with an upgraded 370 amp alternator. I have used a hammer style crimper in the past, and this tool is truly underrated, especially for the price. The cutters are...

    Anyone ever use any brass hooks and picks? If so, how durable are they? Im a process tech on plastic injection molding machines and they will be used to dig out flash and stuck sprues and runners.

    Thoughts on CP 717 air hammer

    Looking at picking up an air hammer for work. I work in low pressure injection molding and its common to end up having plastic encasing our 1 1/2" waterlines along with some hydraulic lines. Im thinking this would make digging out the lines a breeze compared to the old hammer and chisel method...

    Question about Home depot warranty

    Two weeks ago i picked up a Ryobi 18v one plus combo from home depot. The kit included a drill, impact driver and circular saw, along with two free bare tools. So naturally I picked up the reciprocating saw and the 4 1/2 inch p423 grinder. Well long story short, the grinder gave out a few days...

    Brake fluid killing my 10 mm SK X frame???

    I've had my SK X frames for over 2 years now. Here recently, I just had my replacement 10mm die on me. Admittedly, the 10mm is in constant use, but I haven't had any problems with any other sizes. I'm leaning towards brake fluid getting inside the mechanism and killing them, as I frequently use...

    Autel MP408 Maxiscope

    I was curious if anyone here has used the Mp408 4 channel Maxiscope. Thinking about picking one up, but was looking for some feedback first.

    Powerbuilt XT 90 ratchets?

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I just purchased a 200 piece tool set from eBay for 98 bucks. Couldn't find any reviews on the ratchets or tool set. I've used several Alltrade/Powerbuilt tools in the past, and had no issues, so I thought I would give them a try for a tool...

    The Tool Warranty Race

    In the last couple of weeks, I've had a couple of tools die on me. One was a Stanley Proto J4990-4MXL 3/8-Inch Drive Extra Long Hex Bit Socket 4mm, and the other was a 80003 SK 10mm X frame racheting wrench. Since both items were purchased online, I decided I would ship both back to the...

    Cost effective solutions for large sae/metric wrenches

    Occasionally I run into situations where I need wrenches larger than what I currently own. 23 mm and up and 1/1/8 inch up. I was thinking the cost effective solution would be crows feet. What's the collectives opinion on this? Sent from my Z962BL using Tapatalk

    Safety Glasses

    With summer heat coming on in full force, I can no longer stand the cheap glasses handed out at work that fog up constantly. It wouldn't be so bad if I could use my shirt to wipe them off, but it's always covered in dust to do anything but make a mess of them. I find myself constantly having to...

    Using Techangle torque wrench to help adjust valves

    Im going to be swapping heads on my dart blocked 347 shortly, and that means I will have to adjust the valves afterwards. Since my harmonic balancer doesn't have timing tape all the way around it, I was thinking about using my Snapon Techangle ATECH3FR250B, to rotate the motor 90 degrees to...

    First Impressions of Aircat 805-HT 3/8 Air Ratchet

    I was in the market for an air ratchet. The model I was interested in, the 3/8 Aircat 805-HT had very little real world reviews. I searched here, and other forums, and could find little real world use info about it. Yesterday I received my order from Amazon 115 dollars later, and while I was in...
