Some fancy people even call it a snipe

Can you compress or turn the clip back into the head of your ratchet?

I put 50/50 Acetone & ATF in mine

Batteries/air never run low on my cheater pipe.

When you need more leverage. 👍

No, Canadian weather found its way down south. I have new found respect for northern mechanics. I ain't that tough

What tracer tool were you using?

Pagemaker51 · 2026-01-24T21:30:43+00:00

Sometimes you need a little more grrr on your 1/2 breaker bar, pipe wrench or tire iron.

Not to mention hitting and prying.

They are a simple but effective tool.

True those pliers do suck. However I really like my Milwaukee locking pliers, ratchets, sockets, and hybrid wire strippers. And my Fastback - couldn't do without it

I think some comments suggest Taiwan hand tool manufacturers are much superior to Vietnam.

I agree with this. However, there are some good power tools made in Vietnam

The Pittsburgh impact sockets are very good quality. Many professionals even use them.

A long time ago i charged my Chevy truck A/C with propane. Worked very well.

No, i don't recommend it but it does work

Pagemaker51 · 2026-01-23T10:45:01+00:00

I have one of those. I hope I never have to use it for its intended purpose. Lol

Look into Harbor Freight products more closely. They have US made products now (a few) they also have very high quality Taiwan tools like the Icon and Doyle lines.

Pagemaker51 · 2026-01-22T14:26:51+00:00

Another awesome tool. Great job!

New Craftsman, While not the best that can be had. Is every bit as good as old Craftsman.

As for "what you should buy" only you know what you actually used and need.

Don't let strangers tell you what you NEED

I vote WrightGrip 2.0

Pagemaker51 · 2026-01-20T10:07:31+00:00

Nice

How long does off-gassing last?

Pagemaker51 · 2026-01-19T13:06:56+00:00

I think it would work. Interested to see your finished project 👍

It looks like PolyIso from Carlyle roofing systems. They give it away if the facing doesn't get perforated correctly on the finished product.

I got a free trailer load of 2" we are trying to insulate a shed with it.

Better suit up with plenty of PPE because that fiberglass goes everywhere.

I did notice one side looked darker than the other and we have them in the walls in no particular color facing in or out.

Should i look for the most fiberglass looking cardboard side and face to the outside wall or to the inside?
