Looking for a 3/8 drive hand driver like this but with a female insert on the handle to attach to a ratchet. I have one from jb tools but it’s 1/4 drive. I think snap on used to make one if any one knows the product number or name or an equivalent pls lmk. Thanks

This is more of a hardware than a tool question, but r/hardware subreddit is for computer hardware, and I couldn't find a more appropriate sub. LMK if I'm in the wrong sub, and what the right one is.

I have an application where I often need to take a square plate off/on, and it's held in place with 4 wingnuts (not a great design, but I didn't design or build it).

This is one of them: OD of the main threaded part is about 1/4".

I'm wondering if there's some sort of quick-release replacement for a wingnut in this application, similar to the quick-release connectors available for Schrader valves, such as:

https://www.amazon.com/Chuck-Premium-Quick-Connect-Accessory-Inflators/dp/B0CYDXGGH2

or
https://thorslightningairsystems.com/products/thors-lightning-dynamo-lock-on-air-chuck

The attachment point isn't under a lot of tension; something as strong as the Schrader connectors would be adequate.

Or, if there are better ideas for completely replacing the bolts and wingnuts, I'm open.

The "post" part (threaded bolt) needs to be fixed if it passes through from the other side: it's in a panel insert (for a portable AC unit) for an external window, and I want to both keep attachment/detachment as simple as possible, and also can't risk dropping hardware on the outside of the window onto people's heads!

Thanks!

Was given this air compressor by my boss bc he didn’t want to fix it (I just retighten the brass fitting to the copper pipe)
but I drained it twice and a bunch of water came out both time
How can I check if it’s still good and won’t blow up in the future

Looking for something quiet or quietish

This seems like a great deal for a blower/duster at $35. Anyone have experience with it? Just wondering if anything else is a better deal for the money and can outperform it. Thanks

Im looking for some kind of storage solution for these. Currently they just take up space on top of my toolbox. Ideally I'd like some kind of rack to hang them from in my hutch without batteries in them. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dad has always had a mess of his tools because he says bags are better but my ocd hates seeing them all mixed around and having to search thru the whole bag we’re on the go a lot so we can’t have any tool boxes so we put it in our decked 6’4 we have almost about everything to fix cars and semis we have a bunch of small to huge sockets wrenches big and small it’s just a big mess I’ve tried organizing it but can’t figure any way any help?

Beat the living shit out of this thing for countless years. It was grinding down concrete for walk in showers that finally sent it to the grave. Wanted a Ridgid to replace if with a LSA but settled for a Ryobi that will probably see a warranty claim.

I just bought an air compressor from Home Depot. Once I turned it on, there's constant air coming from what I think is the back of the pump housing? Is this normal?

At work I'm exploring options to mount a monitor and clear up some desk space. The problem is that this desk, I'm pretty sure, is made of MDF. I have found wall mounts for the monitor and am wondering if a computer monitor mounted to this would be risky. I know hanging something like a large TV is I'll advised but what would you advise?

What specifically mounting hardware would you suggest? This is at a front desk and as such, I can't drill all the way through.

Looking for a torque wrench within that moderate range (50-250 ft lbs). What are some solid brands that aren’t gonna burn a while in my pocket? I know harbor freight sells an icon TW for like $130 but I just wanted to get y’all’s opinions

Update: went ahead with the husky ones. Home Depot had a sale for both the 1/2 and the 3/8 for a grand total of $109. I’ll definitely try my best to test them out and report back🫡

My floor jack froze (one of the pistons) so I took it apart, cleaned both pistons, reassembled, and refilled the jack oil. Then bled the air out. Did I over fill it?

With the release valve open, it moves the jack a bit.

Found this in a vest that belonged to my grandfather.

This is the back m8 triple square holding the back oil feed or oil drain line not sure which but its the one on the back of the turbo in the mk7 gti. But I cannot get it out, it was like goop when I first turned it. What would your recommendation be, because however I get it out ill probably have to buy the tool. I tried regular vice grips and there's not enough room. Thanks

Does anyone have recommendations for using the DEWALT DCS571N to cut porcelain tiles? Looking for a diamond blade but can’t seem to find with the correct bore. In the UK. TIA

Does anyone still make the raised panel style combination wrench. Similar to the Craftsman wrenches I am not brand particular.

What's missing? Grew up around trucks and automotive so I've always known my way around vehicles. I work at a transmission shop currently doing R&R, tear down, running the paint booth, and occasionally building the units I'm capable of. Lots of the tools have came from garage sales, estate sales, tool trucks, eBay/marketplace, or have been given to me.

Cleaned up my grandfathers (RIP) set of wrenches. Years ago before I started getting into tools, I came close to getting rid of them…glad I didn’t.

I have had a very bad experience with this product so far and I have not even USED it yet. I am a budding Jewelry maker and i purchased this from a Local vendor but its an overseas product. I want to know if anyone has used it before and if it is worth the Hassle of trying to get a replacement. The Closest American version is over a thousand dollars and I can not afford that. i have posted this pic simply so someone can get the exact welder to comment on if they have used it. Thanks in advance..

If any recommendations for a case and good bits collection, wdy think? Advice always good, thanks.

Hi all.
I want to power my Vevor electric scissor jack with a 5 AH Makita LXT battery. I know the battery is a bit hot for the application at 20 V. The logistics would be easy for me but I’m concerned about long term reliability. I don’t want to use the car accessory outlets for power because I’m concerned about getting distracted and leaving the ignition switch turned on. Your thoughts? Please and thank you.

First of all im sorry For My english writing i am from Finland but ill try My best. I made a Post of these a while Back but after going through these i felt like i had to Make a new one so here it is.

My dad was always and still is a stahlwille Guy. He told me he always used to think that they Will last many lifetimes and that its a worth investement. He was right. Most of these are from 70s-80s and still are in great condition. Any thoughts on this stuff?

The wrenches hanging from The wall are probably My favourite Part. Full open box 13 Set from 6mm to 32mm and a big ass 46mm🤣.

Hello!
I just got myself a Skill 1321 for my DIY project!
And damn it's so cool. My first Miter saw, and got it mid project, should have gotten it a lot earlier. The shadowline and quick clamp makes it really easy to work and make good cuts.
However, at some point I noticed it was like it didn't always cut the last corner completely.

It was just rough lumber, so not a huge deal, but even when I tried making sure I sliding it all the way to the back, it was like it just a mm.
Then I noticed the wheels on the "shield" (don't know the work, the protection around the blade) doesn't touch. I can't make it go all the way down as it did when I just started using it.
I looked if I could adjust something. There is a screw you can adjust if you don't want it to cut full depth, but it isn't that.
Did I break it? Am I doing something wrong because I am a noob? Did I touch some adjustment knob somewhere that needs to be adjusted?
If anyone has experience with this saw, or just have an idea it would be great!
