    Ever heard of an 8/16th wrench?, seen a video of one yesterday

    It makes perfect sense to me You have a 7/16th wrench size. You have have a 9/16th wrench size. You are taking off a fastener that is in between these two sizes. It makes perfect sense to open your drawer and remove and use your 8/16th wrench It’s like 220/221 volts. It all makes sense

    Actually they did make one, as I have one. l also have two of the 12" deep ones. The Craftsman part number for the deeper Mid box that matches the bottom box is 65772 Good luck finding one.

    New to me Vintage Craftsman tool box

    Wet tile saw

    I used a Felker 8"tile saw for my bathroom remodel years back. I do not think they make my saw anymore but it does work great. Can not remember what is the largest size tile it can cut. It is just waiting in the garage for the next tiling job.

    What is this?

    Not a lot to add to all of this except to say that with the correct drum brake tools the job can be reasonable. I still have a couple of vehicles that have rear drum brakes so I currently R&R my own brakes. Using the tools correctly and in sequence, the job is not that bad. Having a lift and the...
