    Force Tools (tool brand)

    The only thing I've ever been interested in from them is their whitworth sockets. They are the only way I can buy a whitworth socket on the shelf. It would be great if they did spanners. There aren't many brands of whitworth socket left.

    DIY Front End Alignment

    The rear alignment is important. Just like the front end on most cars only has toe adjustment but everything is checked in case something is bent or installed wrong. The lack of an adjustment nut doesn't mean it doesn't need to be checked or corrected. The thrust angle should be checked and...

    Force Tools (tool brand)

    The only way I've ever heard of them is from the fact that tradetools sell them. Tradetools are almost exclusively in just one state of Australia (QLD). That old force website (http://forcetools.com.au/) seems to list places in other states but those websites are all gone or just as outdated. I...

    Funny 1 star Amazon tool reviews

    I've seen reviews on air tools where they said there was no way to plug it in as there was no cable on it.

    Tale of two start capacitors. Why is the US-made one so much smaller?

    Capacitors do vary in size depending on the manufacturer and exact model number. They may or may not have different current ratings.

    A bit disappointed with Vessel

    But they could sell a 20 pack or something of that one bit. I've seen packs like that of their bits available.

    What type of shop do you have?

    My woodworking stuff is usually done outside or in a carport. I probably only cut a piece of wood once a year if that.

    Small tire changer help needed

    I'd guess they've closed down. Their website looks like it hasn't been updated in decades. Their last Facebook post was in 2012. The company was sold to Hazen industries in 2015 which has even less information available. Despite the owner's profile saying he's still the owner, he has had...

    "Inactive Thread" Warning?

    Some forums disable replying to old topics but I'd much rather just a warning like you suggest. Numerous times I look for manuals etc for old stuff and come across topics with no answer. It would be best to still be able to add that information when I find it so others can come across it.

    Import Tire Machine/ Balancer Combos Or Good Used?

    Haweka (and others) make sleeves. They even do them for my 28mm balancer.

    Quality Dremel Style Tool?

    Pneumatic die grinders have collets available to fit the small Dremel type attachments. My cheapest die grinder had the collet included. Even the cheapest pneumatic die grinder you can find will likely work better than a Dremel.

    venting car exhaust from shop

    I have only just made it and used it once but what I did is use one of these cheap dust extractors. For the hoses I used the cheap flexible aluminium ducting. From my research heat isn't a big issue unless it is for dyno use. I have roller doors open at both ends of the "shop" but I always...

    Dewalt customer service. I get better help from the cat.

    Some people don't have time to sit on the phone, especially if the support is only in business hours. I do not understand companies which still only deal via phone. For example, my phone is locked away at work except for the short time for lunch etc. I'm not sitting on hold for an entire break...

    Trolley jack identification new user

    There are a lot of old European or British manufacturers that not many people on here would know (most are in the USA). Bradbury, Compac and AC Hydraulic are just the ones I know and I'm not even over there.

    Churchill 1/2" I.D.

    No, Allen test products. The following articles are from 1986 and 1988.

    Dewalt customer service. I get better help from the cat.

    I do believe the support was AI but your source of confirmation is also AI. Your AI answer is referencing home depot. Why would the answer be on the home depot website? It won't be. AI has found some irrelevant page.

    Trolley jack identification new user

    I would suggest posting it on mig-welding.co.uk There is much better chance at someone on there being able to identify it.

    Churchill 1/2" I.D.

    VL Churchill sold and ran training for Allen testproducts products. If you come across anything about Allen products, I am very interested. Allen (an American company) even setup a factory in the UK.
