    Looking for a quality benchtop mill

    I hear a lot of downsides to a benchtop mill, but floor space is at an extreme premium in my garage and will be for at least another 5 years. I've got a benchtop Wen drill press that has done right by me, doing things past it's limits like putting 5/8" holes in 3/8" mild steel. I would really...

    Lowes refusing to warranty Kobalt

    I just tried to warranty a Kobalt socket at Lowes. Every store employee refused me including the on duty manager. The Lowes website says it has a "hassle-free lifetime warranty" but the store staff adamantly insisted that Lowes does not honor Kobalt warranty beyond 90 days (and only with a...

    Benchmark Abrasives 16pc Forstner Bit Set

    https://benchmarkabrasives.com/products/16-piece-forstner-bit-set Benchmark lists these as being made in the US, but they don't look quite like forstners from any of the manufacturers I can find. I've had great success in the last year with consumables from Benchmark, and I assume these are fine...

    Snap-On prybar handle

    I'm interested in a replacement handle for a Snap-On prybar. I made my own 3/4" ratchet handle out of round chrome bar, but I'm a little envious of the new 36" ratchet handles that have a prybar grip. Anybody know a part number to get a Snap-On replacement prybar handle?

    Pipe drilling jig

    Can I get some recommendations on a jig for drilling dead center through pipe and rod on a drill press? Something where I can climp the work very securely and also clamp the jig securely to the table, and get clean and repeatable holes. I'm not looking for 100 pounds of cast iron to make ten...

    Matco PPXL pin punches

    These giant pin punches from Matco look so cool, but they're obviously made by Wilde and stamped with a Matco logo. They're also stamped "Patent Pending" and not available anywhere but Matco. I'm loathe to spend Matco money on Wilde tools - they make awesome prybars, punches, and chisels - but...

    Your US General 44” top mats

    I decided to cut down my top mat from the bottom cabinet and use it in the top of my top cabinet. Dual mistake - I did a sloppy job cutting it to fit the top, which I regret, and now even when full the top cabinet slides around a little. I really like the look and feel of that mat up top, and I...
