    Using pennies for a washer.

    Didn’t have the size I needed, drilled a hole in a few. Faster than going to the hardware store, and cheaper too. Wondering if anyone else has done this?

    How to remove this fastener from block?

    Have a water leak in garage, need to remove the bracket holding pipe to wall. I’ve never seen these before. Is it the nails that are driven by a powder charge and what is the best way to remove? I would prefer to use the existing holes to reattach since the wall is stucco that I already had to...

    What is this tool?

    Can someone tell me what is the name of this tool? I found it in the back of my store near telephone and network equipment, so I assume it was left there by a technician at some point.

    Difference between Mac star and Torx bits?

    Mac has a stubby and regular set of star bit sockets in their flyer $99 for both sets. I went online to order and found out they have bits labeled as Torx and bits labeled as star. The bits labeled as star state they fit Torx fasteners. The bits labeled Torx are about 2x the price. Has anyone...

    CDI Torque Wrench

    HJE has a CDI 3/8” torque wrench 10-75 ft lbs for $50. I couldn’t copy the link but if you filter brands to CDI it’s the only item. It is NOS but still seems like a great deal.

    Opinion on Cornwell Tools?

    I just bought a set of Cornwell DBE from Ebay. After looking at several brands they were very long in comparison. Since I don't use professionally I was going to settle for a Proto set, shorter but only about 25% of the list price of the Cornwells. Then I found a great deal on Ebay. That being...

    3/8 inch drive in 1/4 inch ratchet

    I was changing a timing belt last weekend and needed about 1/8" more clearance to get a torx bit on the bolt. Seems like a good reason to buy a new tool! I am looking at the SK 3767 or the Wright 3440. I found the head depth for the SK on Amazon, .7 inch, but I can't find the depth of the...

    Recommendations for Torx Bit?

    I need a good T55 to install cylinder head bolts. Used a cheap autopart store brand to remove with an impact wrench, but the torque spec is pretty high and want something that will make it through all 10 bolts when I install. I've seen comments about the gold SO, but they say removal in the...

    Tool Chest

    Anybody have an idea about this chest? It was my grandfather and based on my moms age when he passed it has to be 55+ years old. It has no numbers or name anywhere I can find.

    Ace Hardware Craftsman Screwdrivers

    Southwest Florida Ace Hardware stores have 5 piece Craftsman screwdriver sets for $2.99 until the 19th. And they are made in the USA! Not sure if these stores are regional or national, most are franchises,but a great buy if your screwdrivers disappear like mine do.

    Feedback from users of SK X-Frame wrenches

    I would like to hear from people who have used these. I came across them looking for 6 point ratcheting wrenches, and the grip on the open end seems like an added bonus. It's great that they can snap the head off a bolt with a long pipe on the end (you tube video), but I would like some real use...
