I have some S-K Electrolitic combo wrenches I inherited from my uncle when he retired. He put 20 plus years on them a pro mechanic and I use them professionally at work now for at least 10 years. The finish is a little rough but they are tough and still going strong Andy

I have a set of early 70's ford small block cylinder heads that I want to put screw in studs and guide plates into. I once saw a tool to cut the 1/4" or so required off of the stud boss. The tool I saw attached to a 1/2" drill and piloted in the 5/16" stud hole and cut the boss down flush. I...

THe suppliers change every so often and not all "mastercraft" tools are made by the same manufacturer. IN the old days (1970's or so) grey used to make their handtools but I am not sure anymore. I know wrenches and ratchets changed manufacturers or at least got redesigned about 10 years back...

If you have a friction slide box and you take the drawers out and buff the paint off the slides and then coat the slides with a heavy grease or never-seeze the drawers will move a lot easier and you will be happier with the box. But lets face it 100 lbs in a friction slide drawer just doesn't...

If you are wiring now run 12/2 for all your runs. You can use 15 amp breakers and recepticles (sp) (in canada) and if you find you need more later on its easy to change breakers and recepticles but you won't want to remove the drywall to change the wiring. Also leave room or cable to put a...

The miller, lincoln and Hobart are all good machines and choosing one over the other is a matter of personal choice. The 110V units ( I have a lincoln sp100) are good little welders but are not suited to welding anything much thicker than 1/8 inch and are no good for welding aluminum. If you...
