    PSC 1000 in an Ultrasonic cleaner?

    So I have an ultrasonic cleaner, not one of the gigantic uber-expensive ones but not a 1-quart H/F one either. This thing holds 9-liters which is about, I don't know, about 30 pounds or 3 feet of, awe, never mind. Who cares? Anyway, I use PSC 1000 solvent. The same stuff that I use in my...

    Tool ID help

    I came a cross a stud gun called an Amma Studgun model S at one time located in Portland Oregon. I can't find any info on this. It looks like a freakin' deathray. This is clearly a high powered deal with some sort of centerfire fired projectile. Can anyone shed some light on this tool or...

    Wow! Too many shop lights to choose from

    All I need is some bright lights in my basement shop. I looked on Lowe's sight and there must be a zilion of them; from $15 to $50 dollars. What am I missing here? What's the difference between them? All I need are 4 chain hung, 4ft lights. I obviously want the brightest I can get. Looks are...

    Cold cut saw?

    I'm getting fairly confused about which cold cut saw to buy. I've seen some that are made by MK Morse, DeWalt and Makita. They all turn about the same speed...1,300 RPM+-. Then I saw some on Enco's sight that were twice as much money. They turned at 52 RPM...52 RPM?? Anyway, looking to move to...

    Air tool cleaner fluid?

    I just found a bottle of air tool "cleaner" fluid in my garage. Like may things at my age, I don't recall how it got here or where it came from....thus the brother-in-law in the guest room. Anyone ever us this stuff? Not the brother-in-law, the cleaner fluid.

    Best drill bits...period?

    What are the best quality drill bits? Do they really hold their edge longer? I'm tired of buying Harbor freight and then throwing them away. Yes, I use oil... This would be for metal. Drilling wood I can live with. Is just buying a Drill doctor as an alternative and buying cheap HF drill bits?

    3-axis vise?

    I'd like to find a 3-axis vise that doesn't use a ball socket. Anyone know where to look? The only one I found was a British product...and flying vise's across the ocean doesn't seem economically wise.

    I was worried a CP and HF were the same.

    So I needed a replacement for my cheapo Dremel that was even smaller and more maneuverable. The options were a flex shaft or an pencil air grinder. I've bought some Harbor Freight "Earthquake" air tools and have been very happy with them. I normally buy Chicago Pneumatic or IR. But Earthquake...

    I hope I needed this stuff

    So Enco is running the 20% off and free shipping on orders over $149.00 until 11pm tonight. My order came to $149.80. Which dropped it to $119.84. Does anyone else have the compulsion to take advantage of a deal? I'm starting to understand my wifes shoe collection.

    Do you think this is legit?

    I've always wanted one of those killer IR Hammerhead air tools. I came across these two ads on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141031888100?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/141030749999?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 They are both...

    Who makes the best socket stickers?

    Ok, my eyes are not what they used to be. I have tried a couple of brands of socket size stickers...the ones I've tried don't seem to have the staying power and are getting scraped off. Anyone have better luck with a particular brand?

    I'm frightened. H/F is getting higher quality.

    Ok, so I never, ever buy Harbor Freight power tools, air or electric. I had a bad experience something more than 5 years ago and never went back nor did I stop bad mouthing them. Uhm, err....I had a 25% single item discount coupon and a 20% off any order more than a $100. So (god forgive me)...

    I'm looking to buy a Hypertherm Powermax 30. I see that it's recommended that you put a dedicated dryer on the compressed air line to it. What's a good a one to buy?

    Ok, what makes this ratchet 8x faster?

    I understand that the head indexes but they claim the ratchet is 8 times faster. Why would it be any faster? What am I missing here? http://industrialpowerhandtools.iboii.com/buying-greatneck-28500-adjustable-angle-speedy-ratchet-38-inch-drive-online.html
