Actually, I've had very good luck with them, with some caveats. First off, yes, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check the shipping cost. It can vary hugely. Secondly, their 'vendor closeouts' or whatever they c
If you're buying German car stuff RMEuropean moves faster than anyone else if they have what you need, FCP Euro, eeuroparts also reliable and there's others. Almost easier to get OEM/equivalent Germa
They actually do a reasonable job of this, if you try to order multiple items it'll tell you where they're shipping from so you can fiddle with your order to get them all shipped together. It's not A
I have everything and anything...from 1930s Herbrand Van-Chrome to '50s Craftsman and '60s Proto to last week's Harbor Freight and Amazon and a ton of stuff I've done off eBay. I gave up. I have a 'm
I've never thought about using p-touch labels, I didn't figure they'd last three months. John. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/pi
Yeah, exactly. I have some old Vidmar cabinets (came out of the electronics shop at the auction when they shut down the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, were full of random resistors and etc. when I got t
I've got a bunch of S-K mid-length sockets purchased in the early '80s and they're incredibly useful. I've got this 20yo Facom torque wrench (same corporate parent as SK I think) and (a) it's marked
As far as Craftsman goes, they went through a bunch of cycles. I still have Craftsman tools that date to the 1950s. Thin walls, top-quality materials, they were pretty much pro quality for the time.
Doesn't the grinder already have a...uh...uh...thing that if you flip it over it's got a 5/8in boss on it to center the wheel? I have never encountered an angle grinder that didn't have a centering
I maintain a stable of at least 5 Harbor Freight in such form, the $25 cheapest ones generally suck but the next notch $25 up will last forever. John. _______________________________________________

Exactly. Horses for courses. Got a Wavetek, a couple HF, a Craftsman I got free...oh, and two old 40s Tripletts of my fathers I need to open up and make sure there's no batteries in there. I do love
FWIW we our house is kinda the opposite, we have two custom-made Abbaka (http://abbaka.com/abbaka-original-custom-range-hoods/) hoods, they look very much like the ones in this pic except stainless
By the way, the fact that we have seven power skylights was not intentional, it was supposed to be two power and five fixed, but the firm we ordered from screwed up. They made us a great deal on them
True for dryer vents and anything that exhausts from the house as well as range hoods. Our dryer vent goes up, 90 degree right, Fantech booster, all the way over the garage and my shop and exhausts
Coarse ones take off a lot of metal. Fine ones load up and don't do much. I'm sure there's a middle ground somewhere. John. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Ar

X10 relies on a very low current. Many LEDs do as well. Not always a perfect mix. Yeah, experimentation. John. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Donate: http://
