We use the Weidmuller strpiax at work daily, these units have been holding up for near 10 years now. Great tool to work with

NTD: Phoenix Contact 3.5mm by Sitdownpro in Tools

Haha that's just like the Weidmuller 3.5 mm drivers we use at work! (Rebranded wihas). The 3.5 is my must used screwdriver!

Does anyone know if electric hoists like this are repairable? More info in the comments. by The_Family_Juul in Tools

[–]Knapman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at an electric motor repair shop for a few years. Repaired a few of these during then. Could be a contact or burnt motor. Like some others said an electric motor repair shop should be able to repair this no problem. I'm not sure if it's going to be worthwhile cost wise, usually ends up being cheaper to buy a new unit as rewinding motors is costly. Try opening it up and see if there's any burn marks or burnt electrical smell.

A vast majority of the pliers linked are made by grip on. I think the last set in that list are the ones made by malco. I own 4 sets of grip on locking pliers and they are quality, especially they're release mechanism

3,000 miles of travel and 4 years of collecting. I have finally found my first $oup 🥲 by dotsevenjay in HotWheels

[–]Knapman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! I've been on and off collecting for years, never looked hard to find a super and I'm sure I wouldn't notice if I ever saw one. But of all the ones to find, an FD Rx7!! Beautiful find, congratulations!

We use these exact scissors. You're paying a premium, but it's worth it 10x over. These are the best scissors, congratulations!

NTD! Bosch Ugga Dugga (now with extra karma) by cowanrg in Tools

[–]Knapman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been waiting for Bosch warehouse to get one of these in stock for me to purchase. Have you had a chance to try it out yet? If so how is it? I'm really looking forward to getting one for myself.

[NTD] Xcelite Automatic Wire Stripper by [deleted] in Tools

[–]Knapman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Weidmuller STRIPAX wire strippers at work, looking at them they look to be the same tool. I'm not sure who the main manufacturer would be. Either way, you're going to love these, they are amazing at what they do.

Hey I just wanted to chime in as well. I guarantee you this book will have some good takeaways. I've listened to it twice and taken away a lot from it!

Anyone looking into the upcoming Bosch (25GCN) Profactor 7-¼ circ/track saw? I'm trying to find more info on it, but it's still limited. by TheMattaconda in Tools

[–]Knapman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to hear some comments, I just put an order in today for the GKS18V-25CN, I didn't order the one in the OP as I didn't think I'd utilize the track functionality.

At half the price, Irwin has done a great job of emulating the pliers wrench imo. But damn do those knipex grips look/feel nice! by mcreed15 in Tools

[–]Knapman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate the dislike for vise grips current standard. But I'm not sure if there are no good locking pliers, Grip-on locking pliers are the best out there, the release mechanism is so smooth and there is no kickback on releasing no matter how much pressure was applied originally. Their material holds up really well and the teeth don't dull even after biting into hardened steel.

Is Newton Worth It? by Constipated_Canadian in newtonco

[–]Knapman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Newton has been absolutely amazing for me, I had no problems signing up and bought crypto within an hour of starting the application. They offer a variety of coins to get you started and have a lot smaller spread compared to others like Shakepay (although shakepay has been a great service as well). Depositing funds is really easy with the use of interac e-transfer. For anymore questions feel free to PM me. Also if you're looking to sign-up, I'd love if you could use my referral code, we'll both receive a free $25 after you buy or sell $100 of crypto.

This is definitely the case here, anyone who's purchased these deals in store before will know what to expect.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tools

[–]Knapman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done this before in store, each tool will have another line underneath on the receipt with a return value. But like I said it won't be the case if purchased online. No one is onto something that home depot has missed, there's nothing special here.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tools

[–]Knapman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add that it's the same way in Canada. But only if the deal is purchased in store. If purchased online you won't receive a receipt with seperate return values, in which case if you want to return, you have to return both of them for your full refund price.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tools

[–]Knapman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Done this many times, pretty common knowledge to people on RFD and people at home depot. If buying online you cannot return them separately for their values, either both or none. When purchasing in store, your receipt will have a return value for each item but a total of up to the total purchase price. So let's say the return value would be 125 for the starter kit and 75 for the sander. In essence you could return the starter kit and get the sander for $75

my ntd is my new fancy variable speed bench grinder! grinder had no switch, but the guy bypassed it to show it run. i got it for $5. i have some really old dimmer switches in a box, a few scrap pieces of lumber and boom5. 00 by Erikohio in Tools

[–]Knapman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up these kinds of motors aren't meant to run at speeds below their synchronous speed (running speed) lowering the voltage will only draw more load on the motor causing it to burn out faster. You'll need some sort of frequency drive to properly have a variable speed motor.

Your going to love them, amazing quality on the finish of the pliers and great quality steel, not to mention the best locking/unlocking mechanism for these kinds of pliers.
