    How are breakers in a surface mount raceway set up?

    I'm used to seeing surface-mounted steel raceways full of receptacles, switches, and breakers. I was just realizing I don't really know how it works to have a breaker not in a panel (for what it's worth, I'm not trying to do this, I'm just curious). I'm talking about things like this...

    Cheap spray paint that matches Kennedy brown?

    I've got a Kennedy roll cab that's got chipped paint and rust on some parts. Anybody know a cheap rattle can brown that matches the color alright? I know Kennedy sells the official color matching stuff for like $30 a can. I don't mind it being a little off and don't need to match the wrinkle...

    "hog ring" style impact extensions

    Is there anybody making impact extensions with a "hog ring" style detent instead of the typical ball detent, other than Snap-on? I thought these looked interesting since it can be a little fiddly getting the detent hole on the socket lined up with the ball, but at $36 for a 3-inch extension...

    rebuild/repair/troubleshoot on "double pump" floor jack?

    recommend a brand for long zero offset metric box wrench singles (10X12 and 14X17)

    I'm looking to get a couple of zero offset metric long box wrenches. I just work on my own cars, which are both Toyotas, so I figure a 10mmX12mm and a 14mmX17mm ought to let me do just about everything I need and I don't have to spring for a full set. So far I've only found a few that make...

    Trying to fix a Parker 249

    This Parker 249 was my grandfather's. He was a sign painter, and this vise was in his shop until he retired several years ago, and I inherited it when he passed away. I've been looking to fix it up, and a couple things have me stumped. First is the cracked dynamic jaw. Is there any decent...
