I use a 6 point box wrench as well. I make sure I can loosen them, then slip my bleed tool hose through the box onto the bleeder. With the hole in the middle bleeders just seem softer and easier to round, so I take no chances with 12 point or flare nut wrenches.

Those are good in 3/8 too. I use drive handles a lot for starting fasteners by hand. 3/8 torx bits I use a 3/8 drive handle, which is kind of hard to find. Love the ones that have the female drive end for initial loosening or final tightenin, or just used as an extension. I prefer the handle to...

For what it worth I run a Motorcraft filter on my husqvarna mower and it’s been fine. I did look up the oem filter and matched the bypass pressure and googled for others using the same filter before I did it to get some additional confidence it would be ok.

one house and seven garages...this man has his priorities sorted! that setup is fantastic!

otofix updates are a little more cost effective than autel updates from what I can tell, which is probably because some models don't have all the features of some of the nicer Autels. If you want a mid-range tool it doesn't cost as much to keep it current. For the top end otofix, the Max, it's...

I came across this post trying to figure this out myself. anyone know what the real site is to buy these from?

yea i saw that one. that'd be more than a replacement sander would be. There's several switches that look exactly the same, just newer and more plastic and less metal and they are $20-30. i was hoping that someone would have tried one and can confirm they work

Greetings, I inherited my grandfather's porter cable 504 belt sander. I understand this is similar to the porter cable A3. I got to use it for about 5 minutes before the switch died. The original 801851 switch isn't made anymore. I've been searching the internet for an alternative. I see porter...

MAC locking drive handle BOGO. Been wanting one or two of these for a while so the deal was too good to pass up!

unless you need the hollow handle of a nut driver, which I assume you don't since you said magnetic, you could get a set of magnetic sockets, and a drive handle. some drive handles have female hex on the handle side which can come in handy as well. it's also more space efficient than a set of...

Be careful with Genius tools. I tried to warranty an impact bit socket that shattered first use on a weak-sauce impact and they never replied. I did both warranty form on their site and email to their support, and it's been 3-4 weeks now and I've heard zero response from them. If warranty is...

if I were going to japan I would get as many ko-ken tools as I could carry back with me.

I like the idea of that style tool roll. it's very well thought out. Love the hi-viz bottom panels in the pouches. I do like the pouches are 16.5". A lot of the smaller ones I can't fit the tools in the pouches I want, like breaker bars, long ratchets etc. I thought hard about the atlas46...

Am I the only one that needs to use my middle finger to hit the trigger on a lot of the M12 stuff? I've seen videos where other people do this too. Thought I had freak hands or something. I love my M12 stuff. usually plenty of power, it's size efficient, and a good range of tools. No regrets...

they do any special deals on toolboxes us commoners don't get? I may buy a top chest and could save the money there if they do better deals for ITC members

Absolutely. There's a power supply module that's stupid simple I worked with. The manufacturer swapped some things on the board and kept the same layout. Terminals were suddenly different. 100% catastrophic damage if you don't catch it by reading the procedure. On something like drawer slides...

Do you ever look at service info for a procedure or do you just tear into things? The bit about making sure the bearing is all the way forward was a good tip. I find that even if I know how to do something, making sure I don't assume things and verifying I understand the entire procedure is my...

I have a black on black Snap-on KTL1022 similar to the stock Snap-On picture. I bought it used for ~2k. I want a top box for it, but buying new from Snap-On isn't in the budget as it'd be over 2x what I paid for the bottom toolbox. I can't find a lot of used top chests. HFT's blacked out US...

is their ITC worth it? do you really think you're getting the $30 in value back? I've debated it for a year or so now. This is like watching the early birds clear out the stores on black friday and not being able to get to the stores until 10am. by that time it looks like a tornado has gone...

Thank you for the useful and on-topic comment. Wish the others were actually trying to be helpful too. I was actually thinking about a set of 6 point wrenches and forgot about the craftsman overdrive. I am actually looking at a set of 6 point proto, but maybe in situations like this the rbrt...
