I can do that with my costco gloves but i sweat a lot so I max it out at 3 times wearing them. Some tear and don't last that long. I also wear them under regular gloves often because if i'm doing something i still need grip, or that will soak through, I still want clean hands afterward if i can help it.

I am looking to buy a few new welding helmets for my school shop. I have a $3000 budget for the year so they will not be Speedglas. I have found that for the money and limited use they get I have a hard time finding a better value than the HF helmets. I am curious though if anyone has used both the 91214 Helmet and the 46092 Helmet. I have a couple of 46092's that have served me well but didn't know if the 91214 had any upgrades. I have coupons for both ($39.99 and $36.99) so the cost differential is negligible.
The 91214 is rated for TIG welding and it also has a grinding mode, but the grinding mode just gets you in trouble when you forget to change it back!

If the rims have the 4 bolts holding them together, definitely take them apart and put some locktite on them.
Also, you really need to center the load. The construction is similar to a skateboard where it will lean to one side or the other causing you to lose your load easily.

We use those type of wagons for all kinds of things around the place, but there is no way I'd put 1,000lbs on them. Make sure you put slime in the tires before you put the unit into service..
I was in the middle of tearing down my vintage C-man drill press last night and needed a puller to get the broken V Pulley off the motor and just had enough time to get to HF before they closed (was only store still open in range at the time) and picked up their 4 Piece Three-Jaw Puller Set which has 4 gear pullers of various sizes inside. Not very robust but good enough to get the job done without any issues. They were on sale for 25.99

Radiator Pressure tester
I don't own it, another tech used it twice before the pump itself cracked down the housing. FAIL with some PASS...I found I could unscrew the hose from my Mac tester and screw the quick connect fitting from this set in, then use the adapters, so it makes a cheap adapter set.

My vote too ! The magnetic glove holder a top choice too !
Got the pallet jack for $200.00 but haven't had it enough to review. Manager in store sold me on it. That's all they use.

I've got the magnetic paper towel holder and the glove box holder but I'm worried they might scratch the finish on my tool box. You have to manipulate the paper towel holder each time you change the roll. I try my best to keep the magnets super clean and wax my tool box periodically to keep it looking good.

Why not put a thick piece of paper on the magnet (glue it) or maybe those thin felt type things (the ones that go under chairs and such). Magnets are plenty strong and it should not be the little thickness that prevents them from holding.
I did not do it though, I have mine on the HF tool cart.

69088 large two piece step drill bits
69087 3 piece step drill bits
Both are passes, the three piece has one that goes to 3/4" is a MAJOR pass. I have drilled 72 holes with it with no notice of it getting harder to drill. And i have about 160 more holes to go.

I picked one up today....I see what you guys mean about the "1000 lb" rating...I'm 200 lbs and I stood on the cart and I don't know if I'd really want to put more then that on this unit....(Maybe they meant 100 lb, and added an extra zero by accident.)

I broke down and bought one of their floor mount glass beading cabinets last week for $200.00,it was more of a pain in the *** to assemble than I was expecting but for the price I cant complain too much.
I rtv'd all the seams/joints when I put it together to try and keep the dust in there.
Hopefully Ill get some glassbeads tomorrow to try it out,I still need to rig up a filter for air inlet and one for exhaust side to filter the air before it leaves cabinet to go into the shop vac so I can see inside cabinet while working.

There is at least ome thread here somewhere about upgrades/modifications to the HF blast cabinet you might want to check out before you use it. Do a search - it might help you out a lot.

Do they have stores local to most (read: no shipping) as well as free replacement for life too?

Well, I ve had my HF Steel Mesh Deck Wagon for a few days now, and have used the hell out of it...I moved two pallets of travertine pavers (6000 lbs total) and four pallets of cement block...My back is hurting but the cart is doing good...(As stated, this thing could probably haul 300 lbs max.)
It is unreal when I open the door leading into the garage, I am blown away by the HF stench of this wagon...I wonder if I could air this thing out, or will the stench go away in time..

I picked up the HF mesh wagon for use at trade shows where I have a booth. It's really easy to get the boxes of books through narrow doorways and into the elevators with this rig. Easy to strap your load down to the wagon as well. It is tipsy, but once it's balanced and loaded well, it travels quite nicely through rough sidewalks and downtown city streets with potholes, transit rail lines and other obstacles. Far easier than a handtruck.
Storage can be tricky, so I used a bicycle lift (also from HF) to lift it to the ceiling and out of the way.

Does yours stink up the whole garage like mine does?

I don't have that cart but my 4 drawer service cart stunk up my garage for a week. It must be the wheels. I said it's lucky I bought mine for the garage because if it were something for the house or an office there would be no way people could put up with the smell.

When I bought mine, it did not smell at all. Considering the whole thing is powder coated, I don't see what could smell except maybe the rear axle?

I think we need one of these threads for northern tool also.
Like this one?
