Just thought members would get a kick out of this.

It may not be new, but it's new to my eyes. Not too sure if I'm going to try it out. The head actually looks like the same design as the original Milwaukee M12 ratchet. He has links in the video description: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DY7Z93S2/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

I know there are similar ones that use a chain drive, but I don't THINK it can handle as much torque. This one is made in Japan and uses gears - I don't know if the gears are hardened, but from what I've found, it can handle 132 ft lbs (180nm). It IS a little pricey though, and I'm not sure if...

So I was looking at the Milwaukee 2840-20 Fuel compressor. Usually basic/tiny compressors like this do not have adjustable pressure switches, and the only rating I could find was the MAX of 135. So I emailed Milwaukee to see what the CUT-IN pressure is (at least what the switch is rated for)...

This report came up in my feed. Likely ended up on Fleabay, FB Market, etc.

Den of Tools has a link to the upcoming HF Parking Lot Sale in August. Includes 40% off ALL sockets, 35% off ALL torque wrenches, etc. I'm linking his video and the link to the flyer is in the description. Not sure if he gets income on links, so didn't want to link the flyer directly. Note -...

Everyone's (I think) fav test YouTuber Project Farm just released a flashlight test. I have no association.

So some time ago, there was a thread where people posted that the ratcheting part of their Gearwrench Ratcheting Wrenches were not centered. There was speculation as to why, but I posted that I would check mine on a weekend because I'm a lazy @ss so I hate doing stuff on weekdays. That weekend...

Just an FYI in case anyone is looking. Just got an email from HF that they are having a ONE DAY ONLY FLASH SALE (today - Feb 26). 25% off on all US General roll cabinets and 20% off on all Yukon cabinets and Workbenches. Looks like it's connected to a coupon, but I assume you can get the...

So some years ago, I was searching for good DIY sockets and Gearwrench was getting good words, so that's what I got. While doing the search, and just after I got my sets (1/4, 3/8, and 1/2), I was reading that some people were upset because where Gearwrench was manufactured in Taiwan, they were...

The thread about the smell of Fluid Film got me thinking, and I didn't want to interrupt the "flow" of the thread. I recall seeing this YT guy do long term tests, but don't remember who, etc., but he highly favored Blaster's Surface Shield over others including Fluid Film. I THINK the YT video...

So I was just browsing another thread that's about starting plugs with a rubber hose. I PERSONALLY just use a socket and gently turn with my hand until it starts, but it reminded me about this tool. I don't need it, as both my Tacoma and Prius use plugs with the gap out of the box, but just...

Just came up on my YT feed saying posted 2 hours ago. Everybody's favorite TTC. https://youtu.be/V1Y3aB94lwU?si=s-Y0st92I3gop9_P

This vid about a Lisle limiter, here being used for oil pan drain bolts. At first glance, I thought it was interesting, but realized it only does 25Nm, which translates to about 18 ft lbs. All the oil drain bolts on our cars (Prius and Tacoma) are both spec'd at about 27/28 ft lbs., so it...

Recently announced, so not coming out until the middle of August. RATED at 550 ft. lbs. "nut busting" (M12). 1/2 inch https://www.milwaukeetool.com/2563-20 3/8 inch https://www.milwaukeetool.com/2562-20 I already have the 2554 stubby (among others) so it would be interesting to compare.

I don't use a sanding block that often, being DIY for everything. Right now, my main block is just one of those solid rubber ones that hold the paper via prongs on that poke through the paper on both sides when sandwiched between splits in the block ends. Although I might occasionally use it...

So TTC has done another great video - this time on busting or confirming various myths about torque wrenches. It pretty much falls in line with what I, and I THINK most on this forum knows, but the one that actually surprised me was near the end where they test the effect of anti-seize on the...

So I wanted to try a thicker kerf/plate blade on my puny 7-1/4 sliding miter (I also have 2 12" sliding miters) to see if there is a difference in deflection. I currently have a diablo 60 tooth, which is a really thing kerf/plate. I ordered the Avanti 60 tooth from HD cuz it was a cheap...

So I've been M18 and M12 for awhile. It started when Milwaukee came out with the first gen high impact wrench. At the time, Milwaukee was THE one to beat in most categories. I've been red since, being kind of entrenched with multiple tools and batteries (with a few stints into Ryobi). Over...
