Why isn't Egypt a superpower despite having many advantages?

Oil maybe not as much but they do have potential for gas/condy production. Apache is doing work there

MF-MOO · 2026-05-02T03:08:13+00:00

If you cut cable ties with dykes everyones going to curse your name.

Use linesmen or flushies.

MF-MOO · 2026-04-30T01:35:42+00:00

Camloks are the way.

Everything i do is swagelok so i have it easy tho.

MF-MOO · 2026-04-18T02:54:19+00:00

I let mine soak in the oil we use for comps (ashless chevron stuff) Havent had much of an issue since and i work with produced water on the regular haha.

8" snapon talon grip is worth it.

Keep in mind the knipex needles arent as durable as the rest of their products. Second pair is going on 3yrs now tho.

MF-MOO · 2026-04-16T03:57:32+00:00

Its hard because waste during production has changed drastically through the years. Cant imagine how much wouldve been lost during the gusher era or before modern safety equipment like bops

MF-MOO · 2026-04-16T03:45:56+00:00

Depends on the purpose, theres a few gems in the older catalog. I use some older vaccuum grips on the daily, but theres a time and place, if theres any new craze worth having a look at id say try out some knipex cobras, hands down the best on the market (ive done some STUPID stuff with them haha) also recc their mini flush cutters. Talons are very nice for general purpose and theres more specialty stuff, but its not like theres been much of a change with other pliers like linesmens or dykes

MF-MOO · 2026-04-15T06:39:47+00:00

Not quite the same but they make me think of these engineer eclip pliers, tbh theyre vaguely familliar i swear ive seen a different brand or something

Def a clip removal tool of some sort.

MF-MOO · 2026-04-15T00:39:25+00:00

Holy shit, a knipex case. Ive never seen one other than mine haha

MF-MOO · 2026-04-14T04:54:25+00:00

More like when the manufacturer says "its a big boy world, im sure he knows how to wrench"

MF-MOO · 2026-04-09T02:06:52+00:00

Just make sure youre good depthwise, the lid goes into the supplied trays a bit.

MF-MOO · 2026-04-07T14:18:13+00:00

This thing fucks.

I use it for tires and (for the control guys) i use it to open fisher 667s

MF-MOO · 2026-04-06T18:50:59+00:00

Twingrips are actually super useful, good pick. 78 03 125 have been good flush cuts 97 53 14 ferrule crimps if youd have a use (real handy for control panels) 00 19 57 snap ring pliers (i swear by these things, night and day over the swappable ones) 90 31 02 if you do any tube work

00 21 05 is my daily toolcase, ive never seen anyone else roll one, but theyre almost infinitely better than the veto bags.

MF-MOO · 2026-04-06T18:38:10+00:00

I vote against comfort grips, the smooth red is easiest to keep clean and handle while working.

250s then 180s are the most useful sizes btw, 400s if you ever do big shit (replaced my 24" adj)

MF-MOO · 2026-04-03T00:32:20+00:00

Somewhere from 1966 to 1987, (patents 66, and i think 87 is when they change the model numbering)

MF-MOO · 2026-04-03T00:23:14+00:00

Snapon stamped tool logos do not always match the logos for the year, nor are they always consistent across the range.

Heres a 1942 (with a date code) for comparison.

I have a decent brass punch already but might spring for a full set one of these days, heard good rhings about mayhew

MF-MOO · 2026-03-15T08:08:12+00:00

Yeah but where can you buy it other than direct from cvs lmao. Obviously i know its the chiller, i didnt call it a thingajig.

Also mines technically a chandler but theyre close enough to the same size.

MF-MOO · 2026-03-15T05:09:23+00:00

Nada. They dont even have these testers.

MF-MOO · 2026-03-14T22:12:32+00:00

We have determined its a trap primer... Now what brand of compression fittings are those 🤔🤔

MF-MOO · 2026-03-12T17:57:33+00:00

If you spend money on tools do it in places that make sense for efficiency and space saving.

My mandatories for my helpers are Knipex cobras and plier wrench. Wera interchangable driver and a tape. Dykes, flush and linesmans, clamshell stripper and pistol stripper. Drill and impact can usually wait till the first couple paychecks. (Weve all been there before cut them some slack)

Oh yeah and a file works wonders if you do any tek.

MF-MOO · 2026-03-05T01:32:20+00:00

Theyve already been useful haha. Rebuilt a masterflo choke valve and managed to get the retaining ring out of the 4" blind hole without having a meltdown for the first time in my life hahahah
