I have strong negative feelings about this kind of stuff. I have a lot of tools, a lot of fasteners, a lot of consumables - all of it neatly labelled and in toolboxes or Durham Mfg cabinets. But I feel like I already have too much. I have a single industrial tote of Land Rover parts plus a...

I feel you on this, man. I have the 30-ish piece Vessel torsion ball bit set. I thought I lost the S1 bit, and searched high and low for it. It's not in any Vessel catalogs including Japan, they just straight up don't sell that bit. For some reason, an industrial supplier in France sells 2-packs...

Yeah, no matter what I just don't have floor space for a mill right now, not without giving up floor space for things that are more important to me. I used to think I wanted a jig-borer, but even those are probably more space than I can spare. Some of these benchtop options are really appealing...

I do see a lot of those round column Enco type mills popping up on marketplace pretty frequently, I've just been extremely hesitant about a round column

So I hear a lot of feedback here, I'll respond to it with a couple details. Like I said in my original post: I'm really just looking for dovetail columns, no round columns. Also, a floor model machine simply isn't happening. I can't fit a Bridgeport right now, I can't fit a jig-borer, I'm...

I hear a lot of downsides to a benchtop mill, but floor space is at an extreme premium in my garage and will be for at least another 5 years. I've got a benchtop Wen drill press that has done right by me, doing things past it's limits like putting 5/8" holes in 3/8" mild steel. I would really...

there is no risk

Lithium batteries are not going to cause issues to your diag tools and torque wrenches. They're just not.

I reported one of those pages and Facebook replied to my report to say they were doing nothing wrong. The one I reported probably stole thousands of $$ successfully based on how much traffic it was getting.

Do we know if Snap-On sourced the Williams US made L key sets from Eklind or from Bahco? I've used those for years and they've been great

42 Snap-On, 3 Williams, 3 Craftsman, 2 Icon, 1 Hazet, 2 Matco I guess it's a lot for most people, but not significant on GarageJournal.

Man, I wish I could find 434 1/2 jaws, but there don't seem to be folks out there producing parker jaws really. I've thought about removing mine and having a local machinist clone them, then get them heat treated. I believe a user named KMScott used to make them but has stopped.

Oh this is cool. I have no desire to buy Ridgid or Ryobi battery tools, but now I wonder how the 13" Ridgid planer compares to a Dewalt.

I would take any new-off-the-truck Snap-On dual 80 with a 2026 date code over literally every product SK ever made. No thanks.

I was born with arthritis, and have it all over, and it absolutely stops me from doing things sometimes and requires I take a day off from even fun hobbies here and there. Best advice I can give you is to find creative ways to use power tools as often as possible. They save you from the...

I don't actually love some of Tekton's tools, and I really dislike how they keep changing and discontinuing major product lines for redesigns. But I'll tell you what, I love their customer service. Love. I spend money at Tekton because of how they treat customers. It matters.

Oh it doesn't match. My only Kobalts are fillers in odd sizes. I replaced it with a Tekton already

Brother, nobody is getting fired at Lowes because I posted on GarageJournal and called to complain that I couldn't warranty swap a $3 socket

First ratchet I've ever broken was last year when I got an Icon G2, because folks said it was great and I figured if it got stolen at the junkyard I wouldn't be too mad. Unfortunately it was the only ratchet I brought that day, and I needed to remove a caliper bracket bolt that was torqued to...

I don't typically make purchases based on Project Farm's test results, but I feel like Todd is nothing if not sincere.
