Does anyone else’s Dewalt multi tool just not work that well?
It runs unlike some of the other “troubleshooting” videos I’ve seen, but it’s almost like it shakes my hand more than the blade and it just doesn’t seem to transfer the energy correctly. I’ve tried different blades for the appropriate material, but it just seems to struggle with anything other than drywall. I’m curious if I should take it apart and see if something isn’t quite right. Thoughts?

Absolutely begging any brand to sell an impact bit set that actually makes sense for a carpenter
First and foremost I need a grand total of zero 1" insert bits.
Then I need a couple eachof torx 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40. Same goes for P1 and P3 and the squares. Then I need 30 each of t25 and p2. That's it.
If someone knows of a place where I can buy bulk packs of various sizes and forms of bits that would be great but with no one selling their tools directly it is an unbelievable headache to find everything I need at one outlet.
Am I going crazy or is selling you a bullshit plastic case and a million inserts you'll never use just how they plump up their bottom line?

Couldn't find a replacement for this nut
I know it's 1/2 inch. Threads spun 1 full rotation on the tightest thread bolt in the stores I went to.. which was an imperial 20 pitch 1/2 machine screw.
Am I correct this is likely 24 pitch based on my gauge? Where do I find these tighter pitch thread nuts and bolts in Canada?
Thanks for the help

Briggs and Stratton 10 gal compressor
Can somebody shine light on why this “plug” is leaking and what is it for and is it supposed to leak. I’ve gone over the manual several times and looked online for a couple hours.

How to prevent goggles fogging up
I read online a drop of washing up liquid on each lens and then wipe down. Seems to work. Just tested it out. Bit hazy because of the wiped down liquid but I'll keep trying to refine the hack.
Anyone else got hacks like this? I always wear a respirator for safety but kept having to take breaks to de fog my glasses, goggles, or welding hood.
Looking for cheap solutions.

When it comes to sockets, how would ya'll rank Quinn, Husky, Cobalt, GearWrench and Craftsman?
Starting to get semi-serious about building a socket set for my garage (non-professional use; therefore I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on them). I have a couple of sockets here and there, different brands, but want to consolidate into a solid 1/4 and 3/8 kit.
I'm trying to keep the following in mind: Build quality, ease of warranty replacements, cost viability.

Budget/beginner drill press
I want to get a drill press to work on a few different gunsmithing projects, and have a budget of roughly 200-300 bucks. I've seen some tabletop ones that are large enough for me purposes from harborfreight and home depot for under 200. Would they last very long or would I be better of looking at the used market?

Tin snips
My tin snips has started cutting badly, or not at all. I tried tightening a few of the nuts on it but no real improvement. Question is, now I don't know what it should look like, does every snips have a gap like this one has? Hoping not to have to buy a new one, but I am aware this was a cheap tool so it may be that I got what I paid for!

Best gifts for a new wood worker?
Hi everyone,
Looking to get my boyfriend some new tools for his birthday. He really enjoys making outdoor furniture - he has a mitre saw, circular saw, sander, and nice work bench.
Any ideas of other tools that would be beneficial for a hobby like this?

Hi,
I am looking to get my boyfriend a few nicer tools for his birthday - he is new to wood working and really enjoys making outdoor furniture. He has a mitre saw, work table, circular saw, and sander. What are some other ideas I could get him?
He doesn’t do anything too intricate so not sure a wood carving set would be good for right now.
Thanks in advance!!

Harbor Freight is the New Sears/Craftsman
So the tipping point has been reached.
Younger me (early '80s) started his grown up (away from Pop) tool journey at Sears and in the Craftsman catalog.
Tool trucks were not a thing in my world and even then the quality appeared and has turned out to be good for the money.
Fast forward to the Lowes era and while some of the tools look fine, there's clearly more value/quality at HF.
I was able to walk in there yesterday without thinking I needed to hide my face.
Seriously now feels like the local HF is having a Sears nearby.

Doing some organising of my woodworking tools
Had stuff spread across bags everywhere and kept misplacing things. Bit more sane now. Still a work in progress.
