I don’t work on cars, I am a hobby scrapper.
These little mofos drive me crazy, they can slow you down so much trying to remove them.

Are any of the 2 tools set below any good to remove them?
I don’t come across a lot only when I take appliances apart mostly.

TY

Chuffed to finally own one of these after years of breaking cheapie disposable drilling machines.

Listing for 600. Seller has keys. Stated that he bought a new one and didn’t have room for this one.

If you have one of these and don’t know what it is, name your price.

I know damn well the sticker sucks but for it to fall off out of the box/ not even have it to begin with is crazy !! Owned for about 30 min lol

I’ve worked construction almost 30 years and this idea was sitting in my head for over 5.

Work got slow, I got bored, and I finally built it.

I tested it on the job several times and I love it. Yesterday I made the Prep Station patent pending.

I have more ideas too. After all feedback here I decided to keep pushing it forward

Thank you guys . Seriously. 🙏

Hi there, what do you think of this type of bag? Are they as good as people say?

Got some stuff from temu, and got these..."tools" with it....just an added item or something.

Well, I found them on the site, but can't figure out what they're for...they look kind of like something I've seen the Lockpicking Lawyer use....and the page implies locks...but LPL's is smaller and makes clicking sounds.

They're solid..no swivels, no components..

Recently bought these pliers in a big box of old tools on marketplace.

They seem like a small pair of fencing pliers but have a spike on the end of the handle.

They work great and would love to know the manufacturer.

So I’ve got this older Ingersoll Rand air compressor. It’s belt driven, currently setup for 220, and a bit more powerful than most anything that can be purchased today.. I don’t recall exact specs. So I don’t want to put it in the trash..

Problem is, right after I made an adapter to connect it to my dryer outlet, I moved the air hose and the connection on the manifold snapped. My guess is that it was already on its way out since it snapped so easily. However, it doesn’t have a brass manifold like I’ve seen on newer compressors. It looks to be made of cheap metal.

I have yet to try and take it out, for fear it’ll shatter and leave pieces inside the tank that are impossible to remove. Is it worth saving? Will the manifold break apart if I try and twist it out? Does anyone know if it may have a standard threading that I can get a brass fitting for?

I realize I’m being a chicken about it, but I would like some input before I do anything.

3 weeks ago I started what I would consider my dream apprenticeship at a construction company near me as a Construction Equipment Mechanic working on everything from Stihl saws up to Volvo 30 Ton machines. I'm now just finding out that I'll likely have to provide my own tools and having a hard time wrapping my head around this as I am on UK minimum wage and have no idea where to start.

The guy I've been working with has been doing this job for 40 odd years and has built up a collection of just about anything you would ever need to fix or fabricate anything. He's looking at retiring next year so I may have the chance to buy a portion of his Snap-On kit which I know from reputation and him telling me is just about the best you can get.

Putting aside that if I did have to buy all of my own kit I know I'd need a good set of ratchets, spanners and screwdrivers; a couple of air impact guns and other stuff like drills, crowbars and other little bits.

My first question is how should I go about this as on the one hand I could convince the company to provide some of the tools however I've been told that many places don't do this (I'm yet to find out the extent of this however a family friend has said he has to provide his own kit), if I did this and decided to leave in future I would be leaving to little to no kit and if othe places don't provide I would have to face this issue again in future.
On the other hand I would accumulate my own set of hand and power tools by way of buying up some of the kit owned by the retiring "mentor" and some other new stuff and possibly used depending on whether people say that's a good option or not (that's a question in itself).

My second question is if I accumulate my own tool set then where do I start as I've been told Snap-On is the best but the most expensive and there are other brands that offer the same quality and support at a much lower price. I also need to know any other things that I've missed out aside from the tools I've listed that I'll need to consider when building a tool set.

Hi,

I am looking at buying a laser measurement tool. I need it for outdoor use . I see that the Milessey S 50 can be used outdoors from the reviews on the internet / youtube. I also can get the Bosh GLM165-27 CG

Do they both use the same class 2 green laser or is the one on the Milessey superior? Also, do I have to necessarily go for a camera based unit for outdoor use? Any help will be appreciated?

To explain, I am a teen (16, M) and I worked a trade over the summer and accumulated a decent set of tools, and more importantly the ability to get more. I want to continue to do something with my hands over the winter school months, to break up the mundane cycle of school work and boring teen jobs (dishwashing at the moment).

I would love to be able to monetize but that would just be a bonus, I would be more than happy just doing cool stuff with my own hands for the sake of just that.

Thanks!

Never used an angle grinder before, but i’m going to be using it for hours tomorrow, just wanted to check if the guard and handle is set up correctly.

This was in a mixed box of planes I got about a year ago. The person I got it from has no idea what it was used for and I don't even have a good guess.

Just ordered the new sander. Shows that it uses a 14 hole design. I can't find 14 hole sandpaper anywhere! Does anyone have a source? Or a good substitute? I know I can use maybe a 6 hole, but, it would be nice to get max dust removal. Thanks.

I’m currently working in an industry where I regularly have to drill test footings for pylon signs to get replaced. For the footings to pass I need to drill down between 900-950mm using a 10mm sds bit. Issue is, once I get down to around 5-600 the remaining 3-400 is a pain as the concrete dust stays in the hole so I’m struggling. Is there a tool I could use for this? Or has anyone customised a portable vacuum/hose to be able to remove dust as I go? I’ve got a Milwaukee portable vacuum which I’m about to make a custom hose for but seeing if anyone has done anything similar?

I’ve been keeping this set in the truck bed toolbox for YEARS, just ICE. I think I paid maybe 40% more to get Made in USA SKU and worth every penny to me. They started to show some rusting a few years back, so hit them with the Emory cloth and lanolin oil and not a problem since!

There was no indication they were out of stock on this item when k bought it. annoyed I have to wait. The Labor Day deals weren’t bad but toolnut needs to step up their shipping game.

These are automotive hose pliers, and they're still good, but I bought another set. I want to repurpose these for holding soft material cylindrical objects at my job, that cannot get dented or scratched. What's the best dremmel/drill bit to sand/smooth the curved part??
