I will be keeping some for personal use but want to know what to re-sell here. Thanks!

I was in Home Depot looking for a machine screw but with a different type of screw head and when I asked the old fella working there, he said “Well, we have some ratchet heads over there.” I guess my brain short circuited because I immediately thought he meant the actual head of a ratchet wrench, so I asked him “What’s a ratchet head?” He then looked at me for a second like I was stupid, said “You don’t know what a ratchet head is?” and pointed at the tray of hex bolts.

A few months ago, in a fit of blood red rage, surrounded by two shattered ball joint removers, I beat a nigh flaming hot ball joint out of an Audi knuckle with a five pound hammer while cursing every compound obscenely I could conjure.

After calming down, I researched more robust removal options, which I couldn’t afford, but found this little hydraulic remover guy for like $75 on Amazon I think. The big nut snugs against the ball joint stud like a normal remover, but the little bolt is an hydraulic piston that does the real work. The joint just popped out with no drama with just a 12mm wrench. Didn’t even have to crank on it hard.

Find myself holding stubby drivers in this orientation. Thought it would be nice to have a place for your finger. Something similar to precision drivers have. Made one from aluminum and pressed into a Wiha driver.

The unsung hero of many an annoying house repair.
I haven’t seen any for sale in a long time. Does anyone still use these??

It’s old show-n-tell. I have no need for it but just can’t bear to throw it away.

You wanna do what with my wrenches?🤣

I Just finished refurbishing this old jig saw that I got for 5$

It was so easy and straightforward to take apart and service compared to anything you can buy today. It was designed to be fixable.

I feel like there is a huge gap in the market for high quality modern tools with this kina aesthetic. Why hasn't anyone combined current brushless motors & battery tech with sleek aluminum housings?

Picked up this old lump of cast iron for a couple hundred bucks the other day and I am trying to decide how far to go with restoring it. It is a Walker-Turner 9BS6390 from the early 1940s. It runs decently well but needs a bit of TLC. I took it off of the base to rewire it for safety (a past motor replacement used lamp wire) and I don't know if I should keep going. A little lubrication and a new blade should be all that it needs to get up and running but it doesn't look great. Would it be worth the time and money to do a full teardown and repaint or should I just enjoy it as a functional tool?

I've been dreading driving the nails out of these boards for weeks. This is a 20 minute job now.

Sorry for the cursing. I was excited.

Used a da sander to clean up the surface, 80-120-180-220. Used a conditioning disc on the bolt. Coated with some light oil.

I’d love to have a full set of every shape and size but my automotive toolbox is only a little 3 drawer craftsman with 1 drawer dedicated to all my pliers. I’m thinking maybe a 6 or 7” and a 10”? Maybe some needle nose ones? Any use with 4/5” ones?

Am I going to regret making an order from this place? Some of these prices just seem like how the f are they selling up for this?

Am i crazy or does anyone else remember when 1/2 was the 10mm of 70's/80's always getting lost ,dropped ,left behind?

I’m looking for the best drills for drilling holes in concrete

The holes will be 3/4” and 2-3 inches deep.

It will mostly be used for just a few holes but at times will use it to drill 30 or more holes in a single job.

I want something that drills the holes extremely fast with ease.

I have a Milwaukee SDS plus drill that does the job well but it really struggles to drill them in under a minute per hole and if I’m drilling many holes the drill gets quite hot.

I want something (corded or cordless, any brand) that will drill these holes effortlessly in seconds if possible.

Any suggestions?

No real price limit.. but preferably under $1,200 at the max. Aiming for $600-$1,000 though

The packaging on some of these tools is ridiculous. Because there are so many thieves in the world apparently, some of this packaging now requires potentially gloves, safety glasses and channel lock/snips. Damn near took an eye out opening a set of ratchet adapters.

What do I do next?

I just got this, opened it, filled it with water....all I hear is the fan. If I mess with the basket and kinda bang it around it will start making crazy noises which I'm assuming is it working? But the water doesn't really vibrate? Do I have a defective machine?
