An angle grinder with a cut-off wheel will be the fastest and most accurate. And what's going on with the band saw? Tin snips will do for sheet metal, anything thicker can be cut with the cut-off wheel.

Not sure if this was mentioned already but I need a cordless drill for work. Nothing too extreme, it'll mostly be for undoing screws/bolts and the occasional drilling through sheet metal. Brands to look at/stay away from?

Similar in operation. The wire lies on the platform perpendicular to the handles; the left jaw holds the wire while the right jaw strips the insulation, pulls it off the wire all in one stroke and then resets.

Found this bad boy while dumpster diving Campbell Hausfeld Cast Iron Series VS401400AJ 11 Gallon 5.5 @ 40psi 4.6 @ 90psi 125 psi max No belt guard or handle, drain cock needs to be replaced and there's water sloshing around. It turns on and runs though, might need a new regulator at worst. Worth keeping to run an impact or air ratchet?

Found the receipt! The exchange was a breeze. It didn't really make any noise at all, I thought I loosened the bolt and was all "oh boy! " until I took a look. 15 Canadian winters will take a toll, the bleeder screws have pretty much fossilized into the caliper.

Here in Canada there's no limit on blade length, you just can't carry a knife for defence purposes and it can't be a switchblade or gravity lock. Although I'm not about to show a cop how I can lock my knife with a wrist flick or pass off a Ka-Bar as a box cutter.

Northern Tool has some Homak boxes (Pro Series and H2Pro) that are a little more expensive than the Harbor Freight standard, but they seem a bit nicer too. My Homak chest from Costco is still going strong a couple years later, ball bearing slides, drawer liners, gas struts on the lid and decent gauge metal. Only issue is that the drawers don't lock that well but for the price I can't complain. Bulk Vanderhuge fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Sep 29, 2014 |

Gear Wrench has tools that fit into that mid range, in general the stuff made in Taiwan is better quality. The higher quality HF stuff can be decent too.

A 12V 1/4" impact is perfect for disassembling/reassembling car interiors, I used a Makita one at work for years. But if you have access to air I wouldn't bother. Get a heated Milwaukee hoodie instead

I really like my Nitecore and Fenix flashlights, great build quality and cheaper than the bigger competitors. I daily a Fenix E12 (130 lumens from one AA battery) and use a Nitecore P12 for work. It's hard to find a light with a good spread in brightness modes and intuitive UI/button layout. My Milwaukee M18 work light has seen a lot of use too, with the 5AH battery it just lasts forever.

Larrymer posted:What's the recommended cordless impact for lug nuts and such? I bought some shitter HF one some years back that kind of works but by the 4th wheel it's dying. Currently, I don't have any cordless tool loyalty since I don't own any chargers or batteries except a Ryobi trimmer that my wife bought. The Milwaukee M18 compact puts out 220 ft/lb which is more than enough for wheels. This is coming out next month, almost the same size as the compact impact but twice the torque: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2860-22 Model: Milwaukee 2860-22 (kit), Milwaukee 2860-20 (bare tool) 450 ft-lbs Fastening Torque 600ft-lbs Nut-Busting Torque RPM: 2400 IPM: 3000 Length: 6.7-inches Weight (w/ XC5.0 battery): 5.3lbs Ughhhh this would fit perfectly between the compact impact and the 1000FT/LBS HIGH TORQUE IMPACT WRENCH.

Larrymer posted:Looking into tool boxes. I have the cheap harbor freight box below that's actually older and has a few more drawers: I picked up the Husky 52 recently and it's a lot of storage for what you're paying. The drawers aren't the deepest and the full length middle drawer isn't quite tall enough for my socket holders but other than that it's great. HD has a couple of tool benches and a new 36" chest that are worth checking out. Otherwise the US General chests from Harbor Freight are your best bet, the 44" is the best bang for your buck and you can find coupons for all of them on HFQDB.

The only issue with those toolsets is that you might be stuck with not so great quality tools or a bunch of sizes you don't need. A tool roll might be the way to go if you want to customize what you're carrying: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/socket-roll-new#/ Or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLC-1173-Custom-Leather-Craft-32-Pocket-Socket-Tool-Roll-Up-Pouch-Organizer/271394587275
