    The Snap On breaker bar that could

    About 10 years back I worked part time at an offroad shop setting up rear ends and found myself occasionally having to use crush sleeves to set pinion bearing preload. I used spacers whenever possible but sometimes it was unavoidable. Anyways, for a good while I used nothing but a standard...

    Long term Wright wrench reviews anyone?

    I see lots of posts talking about the 2.0 Wright wrenches but haven't seen anyone give a long term review on them and how the chrome is holding up. I mention the chrome since people have mentioned getting brand new wrenches with flaking chrome. I've also seen a few threads where people mention...

    Hardie siding - studs or OSB

    I'm installing some Hardie lap siding and before I get too far I wanted to get opinions on attaching it directly to the studs or is it preferable to attach to OSB? I know both are acceptable but is one method better?

    Old Craftsman and Indestro find

    My house was built in 1947 by a WW2 vet. When he and his wife passed, the house sat vacant until I purchased it from his daughter. I am good friends with the family so when they had an estate sale, they allowed me to set anything I might want aside. There were a couple small, metal tool boxes in...
