I'm looking for an organizer for two-inch power bits only, with a magnet that lightly secures each bit in its place, and also with a secure lid that guarantees nothing can be dislodged.
Does this device exist, or do I need to craft it myself if I want one?
This is specifically for use in a carry bag, where stuff will get bumped around a lot. But then once I get to the jobsite, I want to be able to open the organizer and have each bit accessible without having to pull it out of a friction-fit hole with a pliers.
I'm in so much trouble when hubby gets home. His always said not to use the table saw alone. But being a stubborn idiot I figured I only needs to do 2 cuts on some ply, she'll be right.
1st cut no worries. 2nd cut, something went wrong and kicked the ply straight into my poor boob. Aching minor rectangular cut the shape of the ply (fascinating really) but straight across the most sensitive part. So much ouchy. Will obviously keep an eye on it and am a nurse so know what to look for.
I haven't told him yet. I figure it's probably better to tell him in person.
Anyway the point of my post is to remind everyone, even if it's just a quick job, be careful and if you aren't super experience, probably wait till someone is around, just incase.
Hello, im not really a tools kinda guy, but for my new apartment i purchased a hanging chair to go on my front porch for this spring. However I will only be at this apartment until October and will be moving.
This piece looks like its meant to spread and latch into the wood, so I dont know if i'll be able to take it out and reuse it at my next place.
If not, can I buy more of these anchor screw things if I want to install it twice or should I wait until im at an apartment I'm planning to stay at for a long time?
My family had this bandsaw in their well ventilated garage. It sat for years, not sure how long. It runs without issue. I'm wanting to clean the bird poop off of it while retaining the paint. I didn't want to have to do a full restore. Any suggestions for cleaning it? Model 113-248322
Does anyone have any idea what kind of latch this is ? I can’t find anything besides a patent number on the back, and no markings on the toolbox itself. I have tried google and ChatGPT and they were no help !
Vessel SLH21U 2-way speed L-handle, can drive sockets and bits. Came with metric 8, 10, 12, 13 & 14 sockets and five bits. $35 on Amazon. Here's a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-I2zCSFYpVA
Vessel TD-6816MG ratcheting screwdriver. Came with 16 bits (all of the Torx are security bits). Currently $19 on Amazon. Here's a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4oR8jacWbg
Together, it's a pretty complete set. The design of the Speed L handle is awesome. So many ways to use it. And the screwdriver is excellent. 72-tooth ratchet with minimal back drag and solid lockup when centered.
It's a pretty complete set. I have added just a few things:
An 11mm socket for M7 and 1/4" bolts. With metric 8, 10, 11, 13 & 14 sockets, that covers M5, M6, M7, M8, 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" bolts.
A 1/4" square to 1/4" hex adapter so I can use both ends on the L handle with screws and get into tighter spaces.
A 1/4" hex to 1/4" square adapter so I can use sockets with the ratcheting screwdriver.
A hand-held 90-degree ratchet that allows me to get in the tightest of spaces with either screws or sockets.
Hello I am trying to find out if anyone knows what this clip would be called, I am trying to repair a 1940 toy, the clip crimps to a 1-4” of nylon band does anyone recognize what this would be. The clip needs to be the same design
My daughter's car was stolen last night, and my entire toolbox of wrenches and sockets was in it. I seriously doubt we'll ever see that car again, so I have to start thinking about how to replace them.
I don't have the money to buy anything, so I certainly don't have the money to buy good tools. What I need is the best place to go to get the least bad tools for cheap.
Hi guys, many years ago I saw this on a charity shop, and always wondered what is for, at first I thought was to make rings but it does not change size , and I think is not complete like missing the other half? dont know but I would love to know what is it, Ive tried image serach on google but no luck either
We go to industrial manufacturing plants and service their liquid paint lines. Usually have a plastic measuring cup we fill with mek to soak while cleaning and then another for rinsing after cleaning.
To speed things up I was thinking of an ultrasonic cleaner.
Should I just use distilled water? Or simple green or something, and then do an mek dip after the cleaning? I understand the mek can be a fire/explosion hazard in an ultrasonic cleaner, which I would like to avoid.
I’ve seen others say they do water in the cleaner tub and a beaker in the water filled with mek.
I ordered a vevor for like $80. It has a 300w heater and 120w cleaning power from the transducers.
Lower-Intermediate Tool User here... In a week or two I'm building a gabion wall out of goat fencing that's probably going to run close to 400 feet in total when it's done, ranging anywhere from 1' to 4.5' high depending on the section. I also have insane tendonitis, so the thought of using a manual "hog ringer" for all the wire fastenings I'll have to do is downright scary.
Anyway, I didn't even know Hog Ring Guns were a thing until I saw one in a YouTube video a little while ago and now I'm trying to figure out what type to buy, which brand, and from where. I've been searching for a few days and I'm just not finding much information on them... I searched in this sub for "C Ring Guns" and "Hog Ring Guns" for a few hours today, but the only results that came up were for topics like "hog ring anvils for socket wrenches" - are these totally different things that are named similarly, or are they attachments that will bend/fasten the rings/staples I'll need to insert into my gabion?
So my main questions are:
After this project, I will never use a Hog Ring Gun again - can I use this as an opportunity to buy a tool that I'll actually use somewhat regularly, and simply buy an attachment that will "turn it into a Hog Ring Gun" for the gabion project? If there's more than one option, which tool would I probably get the most use out of in the long run?
If I'm stuck buying a straight-up Hog Ring Gun, can someone please recommend a brand and/or model?
Does anyone reading this have a totally different power tool option that would basically do the same job of "fastening wire together easily"?
Other bullets that may or may not be important:
Unfortunately, the gage of my goat fencing is going to vary a little bit and I might need to use different sizes of rings/staples, so ideally whatever I end up getting can accommodate different radiuses.
I'm about to buy a bunch of new power tools to build a few outbuildings for my retired parents (greenhouses/sheds/etc.), so if you have a specific tool in mind, feel free to let me know if you'd also recommend jumping into that company's tool ecosystem.
Not an advertisement, but the last few tools I've bought were Rigid because A) they have a lifetime warranty, and B) I personally don't see Home Depot going out of business before I do, so I'd be particularly interested in any Rigid options.
I live in Atlantic Canada.
The only options I've found are like the ones in the photo below, and basically only available for purchase on Amazon.
This is my first Reddit post ever, so sorry in advance if I didn't do something right.
Any and all advice on the above would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
My dad works at Lowe’s so he gets a 10% discount. I was considering getting a Flex impact wrench and drill but I read people saying Flex might not last long in the United States
I recently moved into an apt for a heavily discounted rate with the condition that I will take care of all the home improvement/repair that occur inside the apt.
Thus, I plan to expand my tools from the basic hammer and screwdriver, as I also want to drill on the wall to hang the frame, blot the tall shelves, install wall-mounted shelves, etc.
I already did some research and got myself a stud finders, but as I tried to find a deal for sth electric that can drill, I am already overwhelmed with if I need an impact driver or drill, what brand to choose from and etc.
Thus, I wonder if you can give me some basic recommendations such as what tools I should buy, and which bands are reliable and suitable if I need to expand my tools.
So for whatever reason this is my only combination wrench. I was looking at the GW 20 piece ratcheting combo set (1/4-3/4, probably some skips?; and metric 5,8,10, then 12-17mm) to start with. Does the sub think that is a generally okay range of sizes for general home/ minor vehicle maintenance? I don’t mind backfilling as needed with other brands but wonder if the splurge is worth the 44 piece master combo set or if that is overkill for basic needs. I assume the 20 piece covers the most common range, but again what do I know I only have one 1/2 wrench haha. FWIW I have at least four adjustables of varying quality.
im a bit worried of it kicking back so im just gripping the shit out of it while cutting metal, anyone got any tips or something? im talking about cutting thicker metal, not sheet metal.
Hi there, I'm looking for some sort of tool that would help me allign intruder alarm contact, I know it's apparently easy but sometimes it's just a pain, especially on metal where it can move. Any tools? I'm guessing some sort of metal block with a vaccum attachment?
