    What knife are you carrying today?

    Hello all, I thought it might be fun to create a thread for everyone to show whatever knife(s) they may be carrying today. It's always interesting to see what others are using. I'll start. Today I’ve got the Kershaw Leek in my pocket. What do you have?

    8 or 9" Lineman's?

    I'm a homeowner and I also do residential handyman work and I'm looking to get a pair of good Lineman's pliers but can't decide between sizes... Do you prefer an 8" or 9" version for general purpose work? I have it narrowed down to either the Klein D20009NEGLW or the D2000-8 models. They're more...

    Favorite Multimeter Leads?

    I kind of hate the test leads that come with the Klein meters so I bought myself a cheap set of silicone leads and they've been amazing. Zero resistance, very fast continuity checks, super flexible with no memory/tangles. The only downside is they're more of a needle point style and they didn't...

    Veto Pro Pac Tool Bag Loadout - Tips/Suggestions?

    Recently got this SB-LD bag and love it. It's very well built, pretty well laid out, and holds a lot of stuff! I've been kinda playing around with how I have it set up and what I want to carry in it for the last couple days. The goal is to just have a small general use handy man/homeowner's bag...

    Old/vintage Tool Lot [SOLD!]

    My dad passed a few years back and I've been going through some of his old tools lately and discovering I have no need for a lot of them, they're just consuming space here. I'm asking $100 for everything shown here(excluding the yellow boxes in the corner). The Tekton 3/8" ratchet is new, it...

    Bench Plane Restoration

    Last week I spent several days restoring this 1929-30 Stanley Bailey No. 5 bench plane, made during their "Sweetheart era". I got it cheap with plans of using it, so it sounded like a fun restoration project. First I tore the entire thing apart and put anything steel or iron into my electrolysis...

    Any simple way to fix a twisted tool handle?

    I have a framing hammer with a cali style handle that I want to take down to an octagonal shape, like most of my other tools. The problem is the twist right at the end of the handle... Is there a simple fix to this? I was considering trying to fix it when I shape the handle to see if I can get...

    Which Dewalt Driver Package?

    I'm planning to buy a 20v MAX XR drill/driver tomorrow but the included battery options are somewhat overwhelming... I want to keep it small and light so I've narrowed down my choices to the DCD800D2 for $183 and the DCD800E2 for $247, a $64 difference. Are the Powerstack batteries worth the...

    Anyone know where to get a STIHL Progressive Depth Gauge Tool in the USA?

    I recently either lost or had my sharpening kit stolen, not sure which, and am trying to put it back together. I had a raker depth gauge for years that I was really partial to because it works for my sharpening style, but it appears that you can't get them in the USA... The item is the FL3 Depth...

    Which Chainsaw File Brand?

    I'm planning to get a simple round 3/16" hand file next time I run to town to sharpen/touch up my saw blade between fill ups, but I tend to overthink everything so here I am lol... I am somewhat limited on brand choices in my area and I don't really want to order online and pay shipping since...

    S-K DT Back Drag Fix

    Hello all! I've used this forum as a recourse more than once and tonight I did a small project that I thought I'd contribute to give something back, so I created an account. I recently had a 3/8" S-K DT rebuild kit given to me by a friend that claimed it made his ratchet feel stiffer than before...
