I work with a lot of through-bolts at my job on brackets that are nearly impossible to fit my hand in to start the nut. This thing has saved me so much time and frustration. Yes, I know certain types of tape work too. I've done that plenty of times. This is better, and worth it for such short money.

Why are they so clean! I get that comment all the time, so here is the answer:

Yes, I use them, not professionally. I get don’t make a big mess, I keep my hands and workspace clean. I wipe my tools off with crocodile cloth, and put them back into their nice organized foam trays.

I changed oil and filters on 2 diesels today as well as fuel filters, tire rotations, and greased the chassis. I also welded some sheet metal.

Most of what I work on is newer, I move at a 3-beer per oil change pace, and could not make money at it unless I went much faster.

Anyone remember these? I just found them in my father’s tool cabinet, along with a SnakeLight. 😂

Hello all, new to this sub but have a question for the group. I've been offered the chance to buy a retiring auto mechanics entire tool box. Pictured is the box in question and its contents. There is more in the smaller cabinet but I'm not sure what. The black cabinet is also included but is empty. Initial sale price is $7500. Is that a fair deal or not worth it?

One dollar. Wife thinks I over paid.

we were doing vehicle exhaust work

New toys showed up in the mail today

My fastback hasn’t lost one screw and I’ve had that for a few years smh. Still works but…

Would love some recommendations!

Or bootleg? I found them in an attic and they work okay, but I don't have enough experience to know for sure.

ALL XGT was 50% off.

Unfortunately, I missed it, all that was left when i got there was this.

I don't even need it, but that demo saw was calling my name.

Like taking apart old appliances and trying to get them working again, though I've probably got more unfinished projects than finished ones at this point.

Went with this tc001max for the thermal/visible overlay. Having the component outlines in the image should make it easier to tell which part is getting hot when everything's packed together on a board.

Haven't tried it on a repair yet, but I've got a few old boards to start with, including some I put aside a while ago. Looking forward to spending some time at the bench this weekend.

I clean three desktop towers every few months and always end up with several empty compressed-air cans afterward. A rechargeable electric duster sounds less wasteful when it is used regularly, but it also has a battery and electronics that will eventually need proper recycling. For people who have made the switch, how long has your unit lasted and how often do you actually use it? I'm trying to work out whether the reusable option makes sense at my usage level rather than assuming it is automatically better.

Anybody know what Home Depot will be discounting next month? I find every year I can usually stock up on some stuff there in November like saw blades, gloves, etc for work.

I inherited this tool from my father, who got it maybe 50 years ago or more, though I'm not really sure. I have a drill press for my woodworking and have no need for this one, which he used for jewelry making. I'm not on Facebook but I'm told that might be a place to try to sell it. Anybody have any advice about selling this sort of thing, or how much to ask? (I'm in the SF Bay area if that matters.) Or is there some other sub where it might be more sensible to post this? Thanks for your time.

I’ve opened it up and given it a good clean which hasn’t helped.
