    Painting exterior trim

    We're going to paint our trim this spring, like around the doors and windows and the soffits too. It's about 1800 sq ft so the soffit surrounds that much area. Is it worth it to spray or should we just roll? Would something like this powered roller thing be worthwhile? Or should I just roll...

    Angle torque wrench

    I don't know what y'all are torquing so tight, but geez. I have used the above method, like on Subaru heads. But they are a silly torque sequence, after you tighten, then loosen, then tighten again to 25 ft lbs, you tighten them by 90 degrees, then another 45, then another 45 on the middle 2...

    Snap on tool box tour

    That was hard to watch lol. So much wasted space. My tools aren't exactly crammed, but wow there's so much open space. Not just because he doesn't have enough tools to fill it, but like the power drawer is just so much open area. Make that a couple of deep drawers or something instead and...

    Snap on users with a hutch/workstation. How's your layout?

    Guy that used to be beside me had the same roll cab and hutch I think, KRL7022? That sounds right. Anyway, he had a whole series of these, in 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4. He had shallows on the top studs and deeps on the posts sticking out. He had a few extra ratchet holder things like on the end of...

    Hurricane Harvey Tool Loss

    I'm sure they won't, because this industry is garbage... but why shouldn't they? My tools are on their property to make them money (as well as make me money). Would insurance not cover them if the tools were provided by the company? You betcha. Problem is, they're kinda stuck there. Unless...

    Air Impacts are DEAD

    Lol, okay. Imma have to disagree with you on that, air impacts are still where it's at. I know battery tools are getting stronger, and I love my M12... But at similar size (though the air is a little larger), my M12 Fuel 3/8" impact is still about 200 ft lbs shy of what my 15 year old 3/8"...

    Toolbox shopping

    I bought a 72" Extreme Tools Professional box, the roll cab with hutch, from them. Quick shipped and great price! Only real complaint I have about the box is the drawer slides are a little stiff and the detents leave a little to be desired. From delivery day, or maybe the next day...

    Hope he does one about the new HF cordless ratchet.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Powertop just means it's the stainless top with the power strip integrated in. The guy beside me has since moved all of his sockets and ratchets onto the back wall. I'll have to get a new picture of it. The box itself is like, wrenches, pliers, and a few specialty tools. Most of it is in the...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Oh my goodness. My work neighbor has that same roll cab I think, but with a hutch and a locker. It looks so weird without the other stuff on it lol. I think this is the best picture I have of it. http://i.imgur.com/hbusMEQ.jpg

    Blocking an electric meter?

    Not just walk that far, but it's walking that far outside with a tank with 2" casters over broken rocky concrete. And the air hose barely reaches. And 2 guys don't have self evacuating drains, so they have to pick them up to drain it and fight that stupid vent above it. Someone spilled oil...

    Blocking an electric meter?

    Do you happen to know where the "can't be near drains" thing is? All I can really find is that your container has to be in good condition. There's a page called "Laws and regulations for used oil" on the EPA sight when I search, but it's page not found when I click. Can't really do anything...

    Blocking an electric meter?

    That's pretty much what I told him. How is it any better being outside than near a drain? I'll probably get some BS reasoning though, lol.

    Blocking an electric meter?

    Spectacular, I really hope it has like 300 gallons of oil in it when they do come.

    Blocking an electric meter?

    Yeah it's one of those smart meters so they don't even have to come out to check it, but I didn't know if there was something safety related to it. Basically I want an excuse to not have to go forever away to empty my oil drain lol.

    Blocking an electric meter?

    Long story short, we have a new boss and he's all gung ho about moving stuff that doesn't need to be moved and throwing away stuff that doesn't need thrown away and painting stuff that doesn't need painted. He said the EPA says we can't have this used oil tank "within 30 feet of a drain" or...

    Tools that have great alternative uses?

    I'm pretty sure that's what it's made for. I have the cornwell set, and there's a picture on the front of the box of that stud in a pair of vise grips. But I'm in the same boat as you, it's a little party and we all get super excited when we get to use that new tool!

    Milwaukee M12 Hackzall reviews wanted.

    I have the M12 non fuel. It does okay, but not great. A full sawzall is so much better, but this is perfect for trimming my apple trees. I use it at work sometimes, it does pretty good cutting soft things, but the hard fence thing that doesn't pivot makes it hard to cut bigger things or...
