    What’s everyone’s favorite safety sunglasses for and AFTER work?

    I use clear StarLite 4680 and gray StarLite 4683, I get them from constructiongear.com for less than $2.00 a pair, I buy them 20 at a time so they ship for free. The clear and gray fit exactly the same and my main concern is protecting my eyes not fashion. I always have 2 or 3 pair in my truck...

    How did you choose your "battery platform"?

    I had DeWalt 14.4 for years. The 20v were just new on the market so the 18v was still the full line from DeWalt. I looked at Craftsman C3 but ended up going with Ryobi. I needed something a little smaller for drilling under 1/4" holes. I bought 2 sets of the Masterforce 12v drill and impact with...

    Jump starting a lithium-ion tool battery.

    I would agree about the warranty had I bought it new and not bought the display model at a reduced price.

    Jump starting a lithium-ion tool battery.

    Thursday morning 12/27/18 I bought a display DeWalt 12v Max 1/4" hex impact with battery for 50 bucks at a local hardware store. I had 2 DeWalt 12v/20v chargers at the house and I need smaller tools for the helpers at home that struggle with the 18v Ryobi tools I have so I took a chance and...

    Need a good tool box filler

    The 299 piece socket set is a lot of sockets I have been piecing one together for at least 5 years. If you don't want 12 point sockets I don't think the 299 is for you as more than 1/2 of the sockets in the set are 12 point. Look at the attached PDF's for a visual aid.

    I'm looking for a small 8mm nut driver

    The plumbing section at the Big Box hardware stores sells a 5/16" nut driver for band/hose clamps. If I remember correctly some of them have a feature to prevent over tightening the clamps and ruining them.

    Cordless chainsaws

    I have the green Ryobi, it does ok, I was actually happy with it when I just had it and the Poulan 38cc gasser. I got the Stihl Farm Boss Labor Day of 2017 it starts so easy and spins so fast that the Ryobi gets used less and less. I would totally invest in something like this alligator lopper...

    Ryobi 18v cordless quality?

    I use DeWalt 20v and 60v at work for metal fabrication. I drink the Ryobi Kool Aid at home. When the stuff I have now dies I will get the new brushless Ryobi. Yes the regular 3/8” Ryobi drill is way less power than the DeWalt Brushless 1/2” hammer drill and the Ryobi batteries don’t last as long...

    honda crankshaft bolt 1/2 air impact suggestios

    I did a Honda Odesy Friday night. Crankshaft holder as shown above was what we used. 3/8" M18 fuel, 1/2" Erthquake XL with 140 psi of line pressure on a 30 gallon compressor and a 3/4" black and decker electric impact all failed. I ended up with a breaker bar and the crankshaft socket wedged...

    Drill bit doctor

    I have the low end one and I really like it. I use a lot of HSS #7 and #29 bits and I have success with it. I also have sharpened 1/8" to 1/2" by 64th with it and they work pretty well. 99% of my holes are #29 first then I go up to #7 if they are bigger than 1/4" Last week I drilled and...

    Cordless Tire Inflator?

    I have a different version by Ryobi, the best feature is it can be set to a specific psi and shuts off at when it reaches that psi.
