For those like me, that were silly enough to disassemble the screw for cleaning and lubrication and lost the ball bearing that goes behind the anvil inside the screw, it’s a 16mm ball. It’s not listed in the replacement parts diagram and Astro doesn’t sell it. (If they even know it’s in there)

Who makes a decent set? I've tried the Hazard Fraught set and they're garbage.

My 20+ y.o. JD mower died, so I had to get a new one, and settled on the Cub Cadet 50" Ultima ZT1 with the Kawasaki 23 hp. engine. After mowing a couple of times, I noticed that it did not have a low oil shutdown switch installed. That won't do. It would've been easy enough to install one, but...

I'm in the market for a new wheel barrow as my old one has finally rusted through. I'm looking to replace it with similar with a 6 CF steel tub and these are my options: Jackson Husky True Temper Kobalt I like the idea of a flat-free tire and steel handles because those are two fewer things...

I did a quick search and didn't find anything specifically addressing this, so here goes... With the advent of compact, and what I would consider full-power, 1/2" drive pneumatic impact guns; Is there really much of a place for the 3/8" impact guns and sockets these days? Since I picked up my...

Popped into a pawn shop earlier in the week to see what could be seen and stumbled onto an immaculate Hitachi rotary hammer. It’s SDS Max, with an Aluminum housing and made in Japan. I’m not sure it’s ever been used. I wanted one of these about 3 tile removal projects ago… the best part is that...

Who else rebrands these besides Lang and Tekton?

I'm looking for a new angle grinder to replace my 20+ year old Hilti HG450 (made by Bosch) and am looking at the three options below: Makita GA4350 ETA: Also considering this one Makita 9557NB Bosch GWS10-450 DeWalt DWE4011 Any others I should be looking into? Price: <$100 Uses: Masonry...

Where are these sockets made? For those that have them, how do they hold up?

No idea what to get here since I can't seem to find any guidelines. I don't need anything fancy, just an opener with a remote. Door use is for my workshop and will not be used daily.

I searched for "Oil Pressure Test Kit" and the most recent result is from 2014. Who makes a decent kit for a "reasonable" price these days? I don't want garbage, but I don't need top of the line either as it won't get used often. Needed for import vehicles primarily. TIA

What tool(s) do I need to dis/reassemble the electrical terminals on Hondas?

Does anyone use these much anymore? I have a CP788HR that I think I might sell, but I don’t know if there’s even a market for them with the advent of today’s crop of cordless tools.

I picked up one of these as a potential replacement for my Gearwrench 84T. Functionally, the GW is fine, but IMO it needs to go on a serious diet. (I do too, but we're not going to talk about that) The GW feels like a boat paddle with a square drive... The Capri is a nice tool and the size is...

How is the backdrag and “backlash” in these ratchets?

Looking at getting some new 1/4" drive SAE sockets and I'm interested in the Capri 6 point master set (sans rail) but the cost gives me doubts about the quality. It's $7 less than the comparable Tekton set. Is there that much difference in quality between those two brands? It's hard to believe...

Has anyone done objective testing of flare nut/line wrenches a la AVe or Project Farm? Id love to see something like this.

While I can free-hand sharpen a drill bit passably, I picked up a General Tools 825 drill sharpening jig for consistency's sake. It works well but I wasn't happy sharpening on the cutting edge of the grinding wheel (straight edge on a curved surface) and sharpening on the side of the stone is...

While I have plenty of cabinet space, I have a dearth of drawer space in my shop. I have an old 3'x7' door that I turned into a workbench top and supported with 4x4 legs on casters that I want to build storage under. I have a pretty good idea what I want to do but I'd like to see what you have...

Guys, I need a new 6" combination square for woodworking. Please recommend a decent quality tool that's accurate and easy to read in the $30-40 range. Stainless rules are preferred. As nice as Starrett, PEC and Brown & Sharpe are, I don't need that much tool, but I don't want Hazard Fraught...
