I got the same one from Home Depot. I waited until the last second and got one of the last ones in the store on clearance for $99, pretty good deal. Too bad it wasn't a regularly sold model, although they have another single tank model now that looks very similar to the CAT stuff, I haven't...

I've been considering the same thing lately... Are the laser models(Skil 5780-01, Ryobi CSB142LZK, or whatever else might be out there) any good, or is it better just to get the normal one?

Trolling is fun. Besides, I own tons of HF tools so I can call them junk if I want to :lol_hitti BTW, trolling is also a lot more fun on other forums where political discussions tend to get out of hand anyway. Does get a bit dangerous at times though...

If you go too cheap, there are two things you will want - backlit display, and longer probe leads. Don't buy anything with non-removeable probes(OK, some of the little folding ones are handy for a small toolkit, but not nearly as useful as better models). Pretty much anything should get the job...

It's usually not my chest I'm worried about :lol_hitti But yeah, presses are a little scary to work with... Especially when you don't have proper press tools. I have a 20 ton HF press that I bought pretty much just to do my AK-47 project. Romanian AK kits are well known for having stubborn...

I have a set(1 each of metric, SAE, and Torx) of folding ones made by Bondhus, and I like them - handy to have around, but definitely not for tight spaces or high(or even medium really) torque situations. The L-shaped ones with the plastic holders... Well, they work well, but I have a tendency...

Motorcycles are the only way to travel :pimpflash But it does limit your fashion choices... :headscrat

I would guess this thread? http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61442 Anyway, cold bluing something like a large vise is going to use a lot of bluing chemicals - and it may not come out like you want it. That said, Brownell's Oxpho-Blue is a pretty nice cold-blue (comes in liquid...

I voted 90% metric, but it's probably closer to 80. All my vehicles have been metric, and then the US made accessories are SAE... Anything I make with stuff I buy is going to be SAE, but then most of the pre-made stuff from the store is made in China, so it usually gets metric stuff... I only...

Anyone have a recommendation for how to deal with e-clips? I hate those things, I've seen a pic or two of modified needle nose pliers, but they were small thumbnails with little detail visible - and even those seem like they would be difficult to use since most things using an e-clip have rather...

I spent $200 on a rifle-mounted Surefire flashlight once... Picked up an L4 for about $135(which is usually on my belt if I'm expecting to need it), and I can remember 5 other Surefire lights that I do or have owned... But my current favorite around the house/garage flashlight is the Energizer...

I could probably do that This is what my harbor freight welding looks like... At least it held for my project

Hey, I like my Magnums :lol_hitti Actually, for such a cheap boot they have held up quite well. Looking rather worn now and probably won't last much longer, but I've had this pair for 5+ years. I use it as a light-weight(composite safety toe and side zipper) summer alternative to the heavier...

Last time I used one of those kits, I had to go to a store to buy a better quality version and a tap remover... Two trips actually. First the tap handle snapped in half on the first hole. Second hole, the tap snapped in half. I then proceeded to break the fingers on the tap remover before...

Depends on how much you want to do :D I had to buy a special 4-prong socket to replace the clutch on my Honda, helps to use an impact wrench for that as well. Not sure about Suzuki specific stuff, I only have a Triumph right now, and I haven't had to do any major repairs or maintenance yet - and...

I have a flat or two, but no one will lend my a jig and I don't want to pay for one(I only have two parts kits anyway, I shoulda stocked up before the original barrels dried up). My current builds are going on NoDak Spud receivers. The AK47 receiver has the holes in place, but the AK74 receiver...

Well, I was trying out the Tapco rivet set. I guess the newer sets are better than the old sets(which didn't have the swell necks or proper lengths), but I just ordered a few sets from AK-Builder. I do have two rifles to finish :bounce: Here's what my first try at riveting gave me... Pretty...

Took a few hours and a touch up, but I think it's pretty close :lol_hitti Now I just need a few more sets of rivets, some practice, and maybe I'll get some decent looking rivets put in there. The first try is pretty ugly!

Been having fun reading the forum, finally got a new door on the garage and cleaned it out, and brought up the ancient workbench from the basement to try and set everything up. Still trying to figure out how to sort everything out, and not a lot of room to work with... But I'm trying. Most of...
