My father-in-law recently passed away and I was given this old screwdriver (I'm the only one in the family who would be interested in such things...). It was given to him by his father-in-law who was a carpenter. The initials JN are stamped on the blade which I suspect correspond with the...

My buddy just bought a Tesla. The list of maintenance items seems negligible...no oil/filter, transmission fluid, air filter, brakes last >100k miles...you get the idea. Seems like the only parts that could require repair are suspension-related, tires and wipers. Sure to have plenty of...

I got a 14 oz Yeti coffee mug/tumbler with a magnet lid as a gift. Love it. Want to buy an equivalent that is made in the USA (or at least not made in China). Do any alternatives exist? BTW, the Yeti I'm looking at costs $30. I bet it costs under $5 to make it in China. Maybe $10 if made...

I have a 30-gallon Husky compressor with an attached regulator. Wondering how to add a filter/water condenser. Is it worth removing the regulator, inserting a filter between it and the tank, and then remounting the regulator (somewhere, not sure where)? Can a filter be placed distal to the...

I just got a new 1/2" Aircat 1150 impact wrench. I added a 3ft Tekton rubber whip hose directly to the tool as I read that the ball joint takes stress off the tool and lengthens its life. After adding the whip hose, I got to thinking about how to oil the tool. Add oil to the end of the hose...

I couldn't help but notice that the last set of Proto tools were labeled as made in US with global materials. Since the tools are stamped USA, I assume that the majority of the item comes from US sources. Anyone know if Proto tools are made with US steel? Wright makes a point of advertising...

Shopping for a 3/8 roto head ratchet and have been surprised at how few options are out there. I'd rather not buy one from China/Taiwan etc. That leaves SnapOn FNF100 and Wera Zyklop. It doesn't appear that SK makes one anymore although used 3870s can be found on Ebay. Doesn't appear that...

Hopefully a really simple question. I have a compressor that runs a ½ impact gun. The coupler that connects the hose to the impact gun broke. I measured its inner diameter and it is ½ inch. With this in mind, I ordered: Milton S1815 G-Style Coupler - 1/2" NPT Female I received the item today...

Hello all. I'm a middle-aged cardiologist in eastern PA who grew up in his dad's electrical motor repair shop (northern NJ). During high school and college, I worked summers in the shop, repairing electrical motors, some of which (elevator motors in particular), needed to be stripped and...

Went to the SK website looking for a set of box wrenches. 2 pages of sets display after a filtered search. From the middle of the first page through the entire second page, all items are "Coming Soon"...out of stock. Wonder if the factories are shut down and they are liquidating their...
