When you see common sets of tools be it wrenches be it sockets be it whatnot, the metric sizes always include 10 to 19mm and the SAE sometimes stop at 3/4” which is the approximation of 19mm but more oft than not they run to 1” So leads me to wonder what causes this and I came up with thoughts...

I need to sharpen some drill bits and never did it before but I sharpened alot of knives feeehand on diamond stones. Can I watch a YouTube on drill bits and do a good job that way or is it too hard to hold the angles?

I’m working on designing something and idk if there’s a hinge style that can accomplish this. All pieces of wood are 3/4 thick. I just whipped together this drawing not to scale. theres two separate structures of wood that got to move relative to eachother. At the starting point it looks like...

So I been seeing alot of posts lately about subbing between some metric and SAE sizes and also yesterday TTC video measured wrenches from different brands and showed a pretty big tolerance gap. It made me think if some metric and SAE sizes are close like 7/16 inch is really 11.1mm then if the...

If it matters I got a m12 fuel dremel. Wondering the max thickness of metal I can cut through with it. I tried on some shelf brackets and I got a little through it but seemed like it exceeded the tool limits so I stopped.

I want to modify some fitness equipment that got 11 gauge steel pieces. I want to attach some stuff to it that would require me to drill about 1/4 inch holes in it. Honestly 3/16 might work I got some flexibility. I got a m18 fuel drill is my biggest most powerful regular drill. I just got a...

I bought a m18 drill last and before I even used it I took the original factory chuck off and put a Rohm chuck on that cost almost as much as the drill. $65 on I think like a $90 drill I saw a thread a while back about polishing pliers if there rough when new with some paste and working them...

I never used a ultrasonic cleaner but it’s honestly been on my mind. And just this week I think god wants me to buy one because my sister sleeps with a mouth guard at night for grinding and she was looking at buying one made for that and my cousin bought a bunch of handgun silencers a few months...

I used a 1/2 drive male hex impact on a high torque impact and was able to get the chuck off since the hex key and hammer trick didn’t work. now the bit is stuck in the chuck. I want to keep the original chuck in case I warranty the drill to swap back on so honestly I don’t want to cut it off...

I want to repackage my left hand drill bit set into something much smaller than the big metal folding case it came in. I always see alot of 1/4 bit aftermarket storage options but I never see anything for drill bits. I know I can take them and put them in a small ziplock bag or just all in a...

I honestly got very little use for my m18 high torque but used it for the second time tonight. Changing out the chuck on a m18 drill. Youtube said to put a large hex key in the chuck and hammer it off. I wailed a few dozens times no go. Then more YouTubes said to grind it off and also if you...

supposing you got both an m12 ratchet and a impact. What is the size fastener where honestly the 70 foot pounds of the new m12 ratchets can’t brake it and you should be using an impact if you got the space? I only got one m12 ratchet the insider and haven’t been doing much car work since I got...

I only got a few of the different kinds and I’m wondering which combinations people like best. I’m going to try this forum list feature for the first time to show every possibility. I’m talking m12 and m18 but it’s the general style so if you use another battery brand it’s okay I still wanna...

I’m not a 3/4 drive socket user tbh just interested in tools and I like tekton alot always curious to see what there doing. So they started with shallow chrome only in 6 and 12 point. Now there adding 6 point deep chrome but not 12 point deep chrome. Coming soon is impacts too but only 6 point...

Every so often I’m doing some handyman helper work and get asked to deal with this. I got an old fish tape that I feed in and twist and yank out and it usually does the job but I never get it in very far and sometimes it don’t go deep enough. Also hard to clean it’s meant to be an electrician...

I don’t need these personally but I follow tekton and really like there stuff so I thought it was real interesting when I saw them expand impact 1/2 drive sockets up to 50mm and 2” whereby before they were only up to 39mm what happened to make these exist? Is it because 1/2 drive impacts are...

Sorry for long title that’s the best I can describe it. For me its Chrome 1/2 drive shallow and chrome deep sockets and snapon SAE flare wrenches. Neither one of them would honestly give me enough cash to make it worth selling and they aren’t bad tools it’s just I dont really need them. I prob...

I want to use the Home Depot buy more save more and I don’t really need a third tool and I know I could hack and return one but thinking of keeping the third one. Honestly I don’t got a real need for either at the moment but sometimes you got the tool and you find work. M12 polisher I got a few...

I realize 24 mm isn’t considered big boy for alot of guys here but for me I don’t really do suspension work and I think on one hand is how many times I used something bigger than 21 mm. I do got a full set of deep 1/2 impacts and a m18 Milwaukee high torque that was on a great sale at the time...

I had to use a bolt cutters to take an old padlock off and it was kinda hard. They are smaller like 24” version. I got it but had to use all my might. 🤣 in the future can I get some steel plumbing pipe to slide over each side or is that a bad idea for whatever reason?
