What is the point of double hex dies? Is there some advantage over normal hex dies?

Which direction is the die stock supposed to go onto the rod? Is the guide supposed to go first and then the die (which makes sense) or is the die supposed to go first? Can’t find any instructions anywhere. Talking about these...

Does anyone know where else to buy all the other dies for an Astro 9477? It’s made by another company. There are like 50 dies, coax, RJ-45/etc and many more, but where to buy them? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Hi everyone, looking for a set of bushing drivers with all different sizes so I have what I need when I need it. Anybody have a set they really like? Hoping to keep it pretty inexpensive. I see the ones on Amazon with one open end and one closed end but in practice does the closed end hurt...

I just bought a Milwaukee M18 oscillating multi tool. It comes with a wood blade. I cut some wood with it and it works great! Question is: can I use the wood blade on drywall or will it screw up the blade? Should I buy a drywall specific blade? Is there any advantage to a drywall specific blade...

Snap On power bits on impact gun... Is this okay? I know you're not supposed to use chrome on an impact but the power bits (no, not just industrial black finish - the actual power bits such as PFA12E) are sold clearly separate from industrial finish regular bit drivers. But what gets me is -...

Do the body guards go all up under the box to prevent splashes from causing rust or does it just protect the sides of the box?

Has anyone else been having issues with Snap On chrome quality, particularly in 12 point box ends of wrenches/torque adapters? I have recieved quite a few lately where the chrome just isn't applied right, it's flaking off, or it is horribly ugly. Usually the main part of the tool is great but...

First off - please only answer if you own and have used Snap On impact sockets... it's not helpful to have speculative answers from people with no experience using the tools. I'm most interested in hearing about how Snap On impacts perform/fit/etc vs brands like GP and Sunex. The Snap Ons are...

Do you like Shallow, Deep, or Semi Deep, or something else? Reasons?

Is there any realistic use for 12 point impact sockets? I always see 6 point ones but I know they make 12 points, so just wondering. If I already have a chrome 12 point set, is there anywhere I will actually need the impact to use on an impact gun for busting serious stuff loose? No... I won't...

I chewed up my jaws on some grease zerks which are apparently extremely hard. Any idea how to fix slightly chewed up jaws on these so they are parallel and smooth without removing too much of the finish? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Which one does everyone like? I've never used either. Is there an advantage of one over the other?
