I know they make special squares that have a little step so you're referencing the flat part of either flange (and not the curvature where the flanges meet the web). How would I do this if I didn't have access to that specific tool? I simple tape measure doesn't work because if you're...

I'm looking for something more than a 15 minute Youtube video. Something more comprehensive.

Hitbox AT2000 for $139 CAD. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07H29M5PG/?tag=atomicindus04-20 vs Flaring FS-1800D for $119 CAD. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08QM8V6FZ/?tag=atomicindus04-20

I'd much prefer black. It doesn't draw unwanted attention.

I don't have the welder or the inverter. So, I'm looking for advice on what to look for when purchasing those so I can make this happen. Reason is that I need to do some welding where I cannot run a power cord. The thickest material I'll be welding will be 3/8" (or 1/2" with multipasses.) PS...

Trying to do things on a budget so even though a roll up cover would be ideal, I can make the tarp idea work for a tenth of the cost. I'm looking for tarp recommendations. Also, ideas on how to secure the tarp. I'm thinking either industrial strength Velcro or 3m DualLock. Worried about how...

"Traditionally" impact sockets are made of Cr-Mo steel. But, mfgrs like Tekton and Amazon brands like Casoman, EPAuto, and Mayouko offer impact sockets in Cr-V steel. I hear Cr-V is harder than Cr-Mo and rough on impact wrenches. True or no?

Say there are two breaker bars. Every part of the bars is the same except for the square drive part where the socket attaches.

"Automotive" pry bars have the handle and sometimes the striking cap. How many times is striking required during prying? Wouldn't something like a pinch bar work just as well if you're not striking? Bonus is the other end can be used to align shafts and holes.

Came across a good deal on a drill + impact driver combo with lots of batteries. Is is better to save up for the brushless stuff?

https://shop.snapon.com/product/Combination-(Pliers)/8%22-Talon-Grip%E2%84%A2-FlankJaw%E2%84%A2-Slip-Joint-Pliers-(Red)/HJ47ACF They seem useful. I mean they're like an adjustable wrench and flat nose plier combined into one. If I wanted a truely minimalist toolkit for the vehicle, I could just...

I have a whole bunch of extras that I'm not actively using on a daily or even monthly basis. Coveralls, hardhat, spare safety goggles, respirator filters, disposable masks and gloves. Should I just toss them in a cheap tote or are there any other clever ways of storing these?

Would like to use an M12 stubby 1/2" impact wrench to also do drilling duties.

Assume that the lighter is empty and only the flint sparks are being used.

I saw a few in the local tool store and they were all subpar. Loose joints, cutters not closing tight, etc. I've heard of people getting by with 8" needle nose pliers.

At almost twice the price (at least here in Canada), are the Raptors twice as good as the nutbusters? I want to have a pair of these pliers in case I run into a seized bolt on automotives.

Trying to find a sub $50 CAD corded angle grinder w/ paddle switch. Came across this on Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B084338NTN/?tag=atomicindus04-20 Go on the company's website and look at the product manual: https://hammerheadtools.com/products/angle-grinder-haag060 On the second...

Is Dewalt the only one making these? https://www.dewalt.com/product/dcs571b/atomictm-20v-max-brushless-4-12-cordless-circular-saw-tool-only I don't have any Dewalt cordless tools (only Ridgid and Ryobi). Wish other mfgrs would make some circ saws in this form factor for those that do only...

Noob welder here. Workplace has high duty cycle machines. No matter who explains it to me, I'm still having trouble understanding how wire speed and voltage settings work together to give me the proper weld.
