    Show off "that tool I bought because Someday I'll need it!" (And did!)

    These come to mind. They've since paid for themselves several times over.

    Lifetime Battery Warranty for 2003 Ridgid Purchase

    Rigid's registration requirement is a violation of federal law. Registration of the product imposes an "unreasonable duty" on the consumer.

    Rawlplug Bit

    Found an old bit marked "Rawldrill #10." I'm assuming it was used to drill for anchors, but in what? And what did the other end go in?

    How the heck do I put this back together? (1/2" Impact Gun)

    I took this impact apart a while ago but I can't seem to figure out how to get it back together. It's a Chicago Pneumatic 1/2" but there are no markings on it. So I can't figure out what model it is. I believe I have the hammer portion as well as the motor portion with the vanes installed...

    What is this Piece of Hardware/Tool?

    Time for everybody's favorite game: Name That Mystery Object. I can't, for the life of me, figure this one out. I don't even know if it's a tool or simply a piece of hardware. Both ends of it are threaded. That allen key looking thing is threaded into one end, and the other end has threads of a...

    Is it possible to use tubes in small tubeless hand truck tires?

    The cost of solid, all rubber replacement wheels comes close to the cost of tubes. Just to throw out another idea that I didn't see brought up yet, perhaps some of that slime tire sealant stuff that comes in a can might work. Wouldn't use it on something like a car tire since it can be a pain to...

    Purdy vs. Wooster?

    I always thought that paint brushes were just disposable... (No wonder I hate painting so much. I've been using the wrong brushes.)

    Penetrating Lubricant's Comparison

    How do you guys apply the acetone/ATF mix to a rusted fastener? Anyone ever try one of these refillable aerosol bottles? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009IY6IHS/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    I got Axed...

    First off, the axe looks great. Better than new. Did you go with a Link brand replacement handle? I know Ace Hardware sells them. It's better to see them in person though because some have the grain going the right way, and some don't. It's a bit of a **** shoot.

    Tool Storage: Drywall Knives, Concrete Trowels, etc.

    How do you guys store things like masonry trowels, joint knives, mud boxes and the like. Some of my finishing trowels are 10+ inches, and they take up a lot of space in a traditional rollaway tool chest. Any ideas?

    Most common SAE and Metric Thread Sizes for Automotive Work

    A local wholesale store has some Hanson NOS taps and dies for cheap that I'm looking to pick up. Lacking a tap and die set, I usually purchase said tools on an individual as needed basis. But since this store has them for such a good price, I'm looking to stock up. My question to you is, what...
