found this while cleaning out my van. what is it?

Looking to replenish an old snap-on wrench set with other high-grade tool brands.

MacTools, Matco, Corwall, Wera, or stick to Snap-On?

Gray wrenches have been good to me. Heard good things about Wright wrenches.

Ideally would like a wrench set that does not pry open/widen on the open-end.

Hi all

As it says in the title, we have a Bosch PSM 18 LI sander, which has suddenly started shaking instead of vibrating. I have googled the issue and though the question popped up in the search bar (showing that Google had received this query before) there were zero results. All the results were for the power light flashing or not vibrating at all.

For us the sander is still working, and still sands, but the head is now shaking more than vibrating. I imagine it is something possibly broken where the head joins the body, but wanted to see if anyone here had ever experienced the same issue.

Many thanks in advance.

The plug adapter states that it has "Max Power 2500W at 250V and 1100W at 110V". The spindle sander I bought from the Netherlands has an EU plug and a power of 500 watts. I'm based in Ireland and we have UK style plug sockets.

I assume there won't be an issue with using the adapter with the EU plug of the spindle sander based on this information? Is there anything that I may have overlooked? I don't want to damage either the sander or the plug adapter. Thanks

I want to replace these T handle to save some space but want to avoid cheap Chinese stuff that can possibly strip screws.

Is this how I should be crimping for non-insulated? Do I hold the crimp on the tool first then insert the wire? It feels a bit unstable and it kept falling off before I could crimp

I noticed this section in my crimper and I'm curious what it's for

My father was born in 1934. He was a school district carpenter and locksmith. When he passed away a few years ago I inherited his old tool box and some old school tools. This contraption was in there, but I have no idea what is. Anyone recognize it? (The tape measure is for reference).

Are there any precautions that should be taken? Because flying sparks from the dremel cutting the screw head may ignite the remnants of the penetration spray that was used prior? Or is it not a safety hazard?

I'm looking for a full bank tool box that is at least 42 inches wide. Is there any similar to this picture? Thanks in advance.

Hey, I have a hedge trimmer attachment for a weed whacker but the Stihl weed whacker I have uses a square shaft are there any adapters I could use ?

Hey guys! I've been looking all over the internet about this since I've been getting mixed responses with this question. here are the list of items with links of what i'm working with Husky pro Air Compressor 60 Gallons -> Parkworld Nema 6-30R/P Extension -> AC Works 6-30R to 14-30P -> Dryer Machine 14-30R socket . I currently live in a townhouse and the cable from the Husky air compressor is just too far from the Laundry Room. This is the closest thing available that i can buy that would work to "extend" the cable. I can't "Create" a new socket closer to the garage from the Breaker Panel since I am only renting.

Is this safe to do? Or should I just suck it up and temporarily move the compressor to the laundry room when using the air compressor? essentially removing the Extension cable and just using the adapter? Any help is appreciated! thank you!

So... I'm moving out of home to go to uni, and, will obviously have to pick up a heap of tools for garden/car jobs as well as for renovations/upgrades/add-ons to the house.

I've already got Kincrome spanners/sockets/hammers etc but am wanting some feedback on power tool brands? My old man, and grandfather are both die-hard bosch-blue lovers, and hence that's the only brand I've used extensively. I've tried a few ryobi/ozito things while helping mates with stuff, and haven't liked them at all. Work also has an AEG drill that I like; but it's just one tool from their line-up, and I've only used it 7-8 times.

I only need the basics; Drill, impact driver, circular saw, angle grinder and maybe an orbital sander (all cordless)
I guess this is a long post to ask: AEG? DeWalt? Bosch-blue? Matika? other??

Regardless I'll be getting the tools 2nd hand from fb, or cashies; they'll all be in better condition than dad's tools, and I'm on a student-budget obv.

Greetings all! I have amassed a whole bunch of Ryobi lithium batteries from tool collecting. My garage is not heated and I have been reading about how awful it is to store these batteries in freezing temperatures. What's everyone's experience with this? Is the online info right or is storing them in cold Temps not a big deal. I'm in western Pennsylvania FYI.

Just found a 17” floor model Reliant drill press for $200. I’m in the market for a drill press and want something somewhat sturdy. Opinions on this brand? I’ve never heard of it but the machine looks older, solid/heavy as hell, and clean.

Of my friends and neighbors I'm the one with the tools and get asked to borrow something often. As we all know, it can become a problem with things not getting returned in a timely manner. I loaned my shop vac to a neighbor then got it back with a broken filter retainer. He was nice enough to tell me and said go get a new one and let me know what it cost. Great, how about go get it yourself.

I can't say no. Just not the guy who can tell a friend no if he needs something.

About 10 years ago I started telling borrowers they can use whatever but they have to leave something of equal or greater value or something like a driver's license. I tell them why by throwing the shop vac guy under the bus.

It's worked very well.

Can propane be used upside down with a Mapp torch head that is designed to run propane? With a normal propane torch it won't work upsided down.

Is there another name for this type of stand? I've seen them before and the guy called them a J Stand but that's not yeilding any results.

I don't need a movers rubber band stand, this was just the best picture I could find using what I'm looking for. This thing is selling for 200$ which is insane.

So a two legged stand that collapses flat like an ironing board when not in use.

I had four tripod stands id been using but my coworkers broke them all trying to open or close them in the span of three months. These look stronger, and more idiot resistant.
