Has anyone found any general purpose, disposable nitrile gloves that don't ****? I have tried SAS Astro-Grip, Venom and Hardy and they all either fit weird or tear too easily. Looking for something for stuff like oil changes, painting, bodywork, etc... TIA

Recently switched homeowners insurance (State Farm’s to Travelers) and thought it would be a good idea to get some updated pics of the shed contents. Came up with idea of a Screwdriver Sunday thread. Here’s what I have. Two Vessel JIS’s should be here next week. Multiple tool boxes spread...

I recently won an LED Snap-On light that I want to hang on my shop wall (metal liner) with magnetic hooks. Looking for the strongest magnetic hooks I can find. Something about 1-2” in diameter with a hook. I have some like the ones pictured below but they just aren’t quite strong enough...

Anyone tried one of these? If so what do you think of it? Online reviews, which I don't always believe, are mostly positive.

I am looking for a 6-10 color set-up of 14 AWG wire for the shop. General use - automotive, side-by-side, and stuff like that. I really want it in a dispenser box or something that makes it easy to store and use. It seems like most of the offerings on Amazon are copper clad aluminum and I'm...

I had been sharing bits and pieces of this on my shed / retirement post but I thought I'd put it all together in one post in case anyone found it interesting. I came across a used, over-the-range microwave display Menard's was selling for $5. I figured I could always use the square tubing for...

Been looking online for a tape measure that has metric on BOTH sides of the tape. Anyone got a recommendation?

Looking for a pair of strippers that strip from the "front" of the stripper, not off to the side. I have a pair of Southwest Wire strippers but I have found it's often hard to get into where I need to use it. Came across a pair of Knipex that look pretty good and I am a huge fan of Knipex...

I have a ton of floorpans and panels to cut and this reversible, flex-head Astro cut off tool caught my eye. Seems like the flex head would make life easier but before I spent the money, I wanted to see if anyone had any first hand experience with them TIA

Any feedback on Snap-On's 10 PC Left Hand Extractor and Bit Set? Part # EXDL10A I am just a retired guy fooling with old cars but I do have a Snap On dealer and at $127 it seems like a decent deal. I pay cash so I can probably get it for $10 or maybe even $20 off retail.

I am going to have to make all new brake hardline for the Rusty Corvair project car. I have to admit, this will be something new for me - I haven't flared a brake line since high school. Anyhow, I am in the market for a good flaring kit to make the lines. Quality and "user friendliness" is as...

I’m going with Snap-On one way or the other. My question is which style. The kind with flare wrench on each end or the kind with a regular open end on one end and a flare on the other or the kind with a flare end on both ends. TIA Or this kind

Just curious as to what ya'll think are the best drill bits for auto / truck / metal work are. I have heard a lot of good things about the Matco Hyper-Step Cobalt bits but at almost $700 for a 29 piece set they must be something special. I do understand they are warrantied and thats worth a...

Anybody used one of the Hobart magnetic grounds on a Chinese plasma cutter? I bought an Arccaptain Cut50 and the ground clamp is a POS. Saw this at Rural King and didn’t know if this would be a good replacement. I plan to use the Cut50 to make rough cuts on panels before drilling out the spot...

Came in today. I bought it during their flash sale with a 110 piece consumable package. 1. Well packaged - no damage. Shipping time was only about 5 days to the Midwest. FedEx delivered it. 2. Damned thing is TINY! I expected it to be small based on the description but I guess I visualized it...

I have two 500 gallon and one 250 gallon propane tanks that are looking kinda ratty. I know they need to be painted a light color - propane company said white or a light gray or tan. Other than wire brushing it to get the loose crud and rust off does anyone have any other insight before I...

Anybody got one of these? Is it worth the $200? I have a lot of Crossbow to spray. I already have a ****-ton of M12 batteries.

Anybody have any experience with these blasting booths? Looks to be made in the US and I believe this model retails for about $1600-$1800. EDIT - I was looking at the wrong model. TPTools retails this model for $1100 + 185 shipping to my house A local business is closing it's doors and the...

I hate having to stop and change disks, bits and burrs on die grinders. Got frustrated yesterday so today I took advantage of some sales at Harbor Freight and picked up two more which I didn't even realize brought my total to five. Four are Harbor Freight Chief grinders and one is a Dynabrade...

A full bathroom wasn’t really practical with my shed. The septic is about 300 feet away across a 30’ concrete pad and a 50’ blacktop parking area so I settled for a urinal in the shed. Started with a pony keg. The bottom had a low ring around the bottom that I had to fill with glass. Ended up...
