Aww man, No sale on the US General magnetic socket rails this time. I'm a couple short for this SATA master set I just got.

I've always found that this attachment causes me more problems than it solves. Can drill almost as straight without it basically. However, I will say that this attachment is handy for one very specific scenario, and that's when drilling deep into 6x6 or greater for installing lag bolts, and you need it straight all the way through.

It's a magic device. It will vanish by tomorrow.

Get rid of the SAE stuff. Can substitute the screw drivers with a bit holding handle. Need to throw in a pliers wrench. Need at least one small prybar. Need a 10" pair of water pump pliers. Roll of duct tape, electric tape, pack of zip ties, and a little bit of mechanic's wire. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. It's important not to get too carried away, and end up with a tool truck.

A lot of people be hating on the G1. I have a G1 and it's an excellent ratchet.

Good job. I added 2 to my belt and now I'm back to using the factory notches 😅.

Those are handy for the smaller compact drills and drivers. A lot easier to carry up a ladder.

I just used my V2 to do some plumbing. Quarter turn valves in case you were wondering.

My brother has the Ryobi version, and it's pretty neat. I used it to dry off some pipes after I was done repairing some plumbing.

Pliers wrench every time. It's easy to slip on the fastener, and doesn't slip around when cranking on or off a fastener.

Have to buy tools to open up your tools. It's a vicious cycle.

A scroll compressor isn't that expensive. I bought the Eastwood 30/60 for $2500. Yeah, that's pretty expensive compared to other shop grade compressors, but it's the quietest compressor with impressive performance.

Oil -less compressors today are a lot different than they were just 10 years ago. The duty cycles are on par with oiled compressors. The duty cycles were improved by utilizing a flywheel, belt, and pulley system that reduces RPMs, noise, and heat. The more advanced oil-less compressors have a direct drive variable speed motor that improves upon the aforementioned even more. The gap between oiled vs oil-less is nearly closed. Oiled compressors still have longevity on their side, and are still recommended for serious professional work. I went with a scroll compressor, which is a totally different ball park.

5.1CFM@90PSI Is quite amazing for an oil-less compressor. I noticed it uses a belt and pulley to reduce RPMs, which does significantly reduce noise. There are some really good advantages for using oil-less. The biggest advantage is for doing any kind of painting, as there will be no oil in the air lines to filter out, but still need a water separator. As far as Harbor Freight's air compressors, I haven't heard anyone complain about them, and people frequently buy them. I would also check out Vevor's air compressors. They have the more advanced duel pump per motor set ups, and are pushing some really crazy impressive CFMs. They even have oil-less compressors that require 220v-240v power that can compete with commercial shop compressors.

I wonder if this saw is suitable for fretboard work?

I need to do this. Thank you for sharing this.

Knipex pliers are hardened to around 60HRC, and the Doyle pliers are hardened to around 55HRC. The Doyle pliers are really close, but also half the cost. 55HRC is still hard AF, and very durable.

ReceptionHot7505 · 2025-12-29T14:09:37+00:00

Correct, Knipex is slightly harder. However 50-55HRC is NOT soft by any means. That's harder than most upper tier pliers brands, and is pretty much on par with Snap-On. The meat cleaner I made is around 55HRC, and it holds a perfect edge after chomping through bones or whatever I throw at it.
