Agree, but that is a very light duty task- it's a string trimmer casting and not a track drive off a Caterpillar bulldozer :) .

I personally prefer the design of the 6T version as I'd rather have steel than cast iron. I have the Escos that I bought before HF started selling their copy.

I have the Cut 60 as well. This is almost definitely overkill for me, I'll probably never test its capacity, but for a few hundred $ more vs the smaller models, it was worth it for me. I have nothing to compare it to, well, other than an OA torch, but it goes thru 1/4" plate faster than I...

Like HF, the Craftsman business model had you return to the store. So, you returned a $1-3 their cost socket, screwdriver.... and then since you were there, I mean, you drove there and need to make it worthwhile, you 99% you bought at least one other item that they made $ on. And with Sears...

Why? How did that work out for SK? If I'm going to spend the $ for US made combo wrenches I'm going with Wright, Williams, or Proto who have proven excellent designs and not something generic from 1980 that everyone else sells imported for 20% of the price. There is simply not the demand to...

If you are going to put in drip legs, filters, separators..... they need to be as far from the compressor as possible for maximum benefit to give the air chance to cool so the moisture can turn to liquid and separate out. You'll catch 50X more water 50 feet away than you will 1 foot away.

I have the Lisle. I'm not sure I've used it on a wiper arm, but I have on battery terminals. I also have a few more of the heavy-duty type options shown that just serve for general purpose but could be used on a wiper arm.

Lots of threads on this. For an "in the middle" option, you might also look at PrimeWeld, which is what I have for home use. I've only used it a few times, but it works great and they have a fantastic reputation for USA based customer service and parts support.

If a spec is 30 lbf-ft + 90*, you just make it up? Or use a table even if it's TTY? The whole point of the minor torque plus the angle is that it's more accurate because it removes friction from the vast majority of the process. But you do you because you're obviously smarter than those guys...

Tridon used to be the standard in the US for quality worm drive, but dunno about today with all the offshoring. The OE style constant tension clamps work just fine for me. I've changed one on a lower radiator hose because it had some rust, but it also had ~150K miles. They make fancy...

I've wanted two different sizes of the legit Nogas for years but just cannot pull the trigger for as little as I use an indicator anymore. I have two Mitutoyo conventional bases and for as little as I use them, I can spend the extra minute fiddling. There is a huge difference between a...

These were either lacquer or synthetic enamel with no hardener - fragile paint compared to today. I worked with a bunch of guys in the 80s that had these boxes and they wiped them down with WD-40 occasionally; it eventually started removing the paint, so I don't recommend that. I also had some...

The reality is that you can make a set of hex keys, combo wrenches.... in China for 30% of the US cost due to steel and labor costs; and you can do it for even less in Vietnam since labor costs less. It's not 1970 anymore and we have competition; innovate or die, as said. I am actually...

Wow, I haven't seen a Cornwell truck in my area in well over ten years- I actually remember exactly where I last saw one, and I can't remember what I had for dinner three days ago :ROFLMAO: . Strangely, I see Matco more than Snap On here, I think there are two Matco trucks in the area. There...

I have those also. Not a huge fan of the handles, and wish the long one was shorter, but for as little as they cost and as little as I use them, they're fantastic. I bought mine a few years ago and I think Lisle was the only one selling the style with the flat tips that wasn't a tool truck...

I have the OTC version of those pullers, which are a copy of Snap On, and they're great. The Icon probably comes from the same factory as OTC and with the HF warranty I wouldn't hesitate to buy them even at full price.

Koken makes a few but may not be big enough for your task. As said, cheap solution is buy a cheap impact socket and get out the air tools to slice it up.

Mine are 3-5 years old, homeowner use, no issues.

Sure, but my phone isn't magnetic and most people don't want to be dicking with a $600+ phone when lying on the garage floor and checking a driveshaft, or during setting up tubing to be welded. If you want to level your stove, then ok.

The round heads were nice ratchets for the time, they certainly sold tens of thousands of them, and I didn't recommend that anyone purchase them today and don't think anyone did; just like I wouldn't recommend buying an old 30 tooth Snap On ratchet or the current Williams model. I'm a huge...
