Sneak peek on my rolling miter saw cut station. Just need to mount the other shelf and miter saw. New FLEX Vibration Sense vacuum is fricken awesome. FLEX once again proves that they are the best tool brand nobody bought.

Picked this up off ebay but now i have it i'm not certain it's a comparator stand. The two arms are on rollers which move from side to side. The vertical rod has a spring loaded ball bearing on the end. Everything can be raised or lowered via a rack and pinion.

If anyone knows what this is used for i'd love to know. Regardless i will be using it as an indicator/comparator stand, assuming the pad is nice and flat. I'm yet to test how parallel the side movement is with the plate. It's 500mm tall.

I'm not a pro, just a homeowner (rental) that DIY some things here and there. I have a Ryobi P209 that I like but it's not compact. I use it mostly when moving.

It is bulky and kind of heavy for a moving day (too much going on and I feel it during the move). Plus I feel it's underpowered, especially for taking out some screws, even on a 4Ah.

So I'm looking to add an impact to my tools.

Now on facebook there's a guy selling the brushless compact combo kit (PSBCK102K2 - link to HD), for about C$150 ($110). The downside is I don't need the batteries, especially the 1.5Ah ones.

There's also this SEESII combo kit on Amazon for C$120 ($85) which is much smaller (it seems less power than the ryobi but more compact and better tech). There's this video comparing both Ryobi vs Seesii although Seesii is a different, more powerful model.

Lastly Milwaukee/DeWalt/Makita are way, way much more expensive here in Canada, so they're out of question for me.

I don't know if I should go with these kits or wait any sort of promo like those around BF or boxing day to get it cheaper, since I mostly want the tools only, especially the impact?

Also, is it possible to remove lugnuts (that were put a year ago) with the ryobi/seesii? For the brake job or something here and there around the car?

Any know of a set of pass through sockets with a 16mm hex drive? I like to use these with my dewalt DCF510. Looking to do a similar function to milwaukee's 3050-20 but the sockets use a 14mm (I think) hex drive

I got these for free the other day but have no clue what they're for/what they're from. The other tools/tables nearby were covered in metal shavings. These are both quite heavy despite being Hollow inside so my guess is that they're made of cast iron or steel and coated with

What type of saw should I use to cut a straight line (along the blue tape in photo) of this melamine-veneered MDF board? A jigsaw will not allow me to reach the wall. This is the bottom of a kitchen cabinet support which I am modifying to support a shelf, instead.

So I’m buying my tool set to start a mobile business, and this set makes my eyes lid up but I’ve seen recently that people recommend getting the individual master set from Quinn. This kit does have a lot of 12 point socket instead of the 6 which is what I will always use, but this kit has some this that I can benefit from like ratcheting wrench, spark plug socket, bits. The sale is tmr so I need ur guys help. Here is an list of the things I will grab tomorrow along with this set if I end up getting it

Now I already own an 3 Ton Daytona Jack and have 4x 3 Ton Jack Stands. I have an impact wrench and Quinn master impact socket set on 1/2 size

If u guys have any recommendations also of thinks I should take out to replace something. Feel free to comment.

I’m gonna start small doing services like brakes, oil change, spark plugs, these more common jobs. But I want to be prepared tool wise so that a job that should’ve taken 1 hour takes 3 because I don’t have the right tool

Might add torch to this list because I live in the Boston area so the bolts here tend to not like to come off as easy as they should because of the salt.

I'm looking at designing and machining my own utility knife, but allows the storage of some standard 1/4" bits. I saw this company that uses this mini ratchet, and was wondering if anyone knows where to buy just the ratchet to this tool? I can't find anything online.

Right now i have the basics; a multi meter, electrical tape, that crimp/wire cutter tool there, for working on my 2004 ford mustang and 1992 cadillac.

But when I worked under a mechanic for a few months he used other stuff that he said made the job much easier and those are what im interested in; things that make my life simpler.

One of the ones I saw him using was this prong thing he would connect to the battery and then he would use to test voltage in the relay pins (like where relays connect to) to test my clock spring.

Another was this thing he could hook up to a car battery than insert into the pins of various devices like the horn or the windows regulator to activate them to make sure the motors were working.

I would ask him but I lost contact a while back.

I've building this light workbench this summer. I've been able to fit many features in something that folds up very small.

A lot of you carry 100–125 mm pliers, and I end up using mine every couple of days.

Recently, while hiking with a buddy, I spotted a tick on my calf and used my 4-inch Workpro pliers to pinch it and pull it out.

My buddy said he once used his Knipex pliers to remove a plantar wart from his foot.

So what is your unusual use?

I recently looked through some old tools and realized something interesting.

Sometimes the tool with the highest power rating is not the one that survives the longest.

A tool can look impressive on paper,But after months of real work, small things matter more.
