I have ratchets (and extensions) with and without QR. When I grab one, it's usually just based on size - long handle for leverage, short for space, etc. The only time I specifically grab one with QR (ratchet and/or extension) is in a situation where I want to make sure the extension or socket...

I sometimes debate about getting a lift cart. That's the first I've seen where the "mobile" part is the part that lifts - I usually only see ones where the table is the part that lifts like in the pic from @kbeefy. I like the idea of the sliding section, but it seems TO ME that it would be...

That reminded me of a Flat Rate Master vid I saw a few years ago. I actually tried it with my Milwaukee impact set on low and it really worked. Had to search for it but here it is:

Just count the ugga-duggas on your impact wrench.

Just an fyi for gasket (at least intake gaskets). I have found that if I am unable to find or obtain an intake gasket right away, something like Hylomar does wonders. It was developed for racing decades ago, is non-hardening, and doesn't "glue" the gasket like other dressings which makes it...

I switched to split beam wrenches a few years ago specifically because of this - I would periodically forget to reset my clickers too (though not for too long). Depending on how accurate you REALLY need them to be (most people naturally over/undershoot anyway because it's near impossible to...

i got a set years ago - made in the USA. These days, Lisle has moved a LOT of manufacturing (if not all) offshore, so I suspect it is now being made by the same manufacturer (except the super cheapies) as everyone esle. I don't think the current units will be any better than other reputable...

I have a Fuji gun and a 2 stage and 3 stage turbine. I'm no pro - so far I've only used it for poly. Fuji has a chart (that DOESN'T include gelcoat, but does include heavier viscosity stuff) along with tip size recommendation, etc. PERSONALLY, having piddled with resins in the past, I'm pretty...

Yes - as far as I know, that is how you send a PM

I have plenty of tape. Was out and about yesterday so will have to look for it. Will let you know in a couple of days if I can find it.

I live in Candia, NH - it's about 1 1/2 drive from Leominster. Let me know if you're interested in the drive and I'll look for it this weekend. The drive may not be worth it to some because of how cheap you can get pneumatic framing nailers these days - especially off FB Marketplace.

I got my 735 with Shelix (and original head) for around $200 because the seller bought the Shelix and couldn't figure out why the pulley kept coming loose, so I took a chance and found that he installed the pulley backwards, so it was rubbing the frame and causing it to loosen. I have found...

Where are you? I live in NH and have a PC 21 degree I no longer use that you can have for free (if I can find it).

I find the "towel" method works really well if you need more "Impact" with a slide hammer. Not sure how easy it is to find the info, but here is my explanation if you want it: Grab a bath towel (I suppose anything similar will be fine, I've just used a towel) Tightly wrap the middle of the...

I wanted a 10 lb weight (only) to use with my existing OTC shaft. I found a couple but they were stupid expensive. The cheapest route I found at the time was a Westward kit from Grainger (of all places). I don't remember how much I paid for it because it was years ago, and they also currently...

I'm not an engineer, although sometimes think I am at my wife's behest (and I have calipers and micrometers to prove it), but TO ME, the difference between chrome and impact sockets (for example, crv vs cromo) is more related to how each metallurgy deals with IMPACTS. Although it will also lend...

You might want to try an articulating borescope (if I recall my verbiage correctly). An articulating scope can "bend/curve" at the end under control. For example, you could poke it into the cylinder, then have the head bend upward to see the valves. An obedient scope (likely what you had) has...

I believe Olympus is still king of things that "go there." Although I think it's now a subsidiary to another company since the parent company had the accounting scandal a few years ago. When you go for one, ask them who made their endoscope - they'll likely say Olympus. Edit - out of backdoor...

If you're going to do colonoscopies, be sure to get what is called an "obedient" or "articulating" borescope/endoscope. They have a controller so the scope can bend and turn as needed while it's in there.
