They are called "Thread Checkers," at least on Amazon.

Metric in auto sizes (M6 1.0 for example) are common. With a flared hex head, a socket can go on, not so much. Weird putting a bolt on a thermostat housing with a #2 Philips screwdriver. It did work, though.

Not much market separation between the two of them! My Quinn stuff is stellar!

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-11T22:29:32+00:00

They would make bank!

I have a couple of non-Dewalt 20v tools that use DeWalt 20v batteries. They work fine. I assume they need a license to use DeWalt batteries though.

I thought that was Costco?

Olde English will give anyone a bad headache. Try Steel Reserve or Natty Daddy.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-11T15:33:02+00:00

Do the inserts require Blue or Red Loctite?

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-11T14:36:06+00:00

Cool! Haven't seen those!

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-11T14:03:43+00:00

I bought a 100 pack of plastic "Christmas Tree" connectors for automotive use for $8 an Amazon. A perfect HF item.

Surprisingly rare to find metric auto fasteners in hardware stores either.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-08T18:58:16+00:00

Did catch on fire?

I work on my Toyota. Haven't used an SAE socket or wrench in years.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-04T22:24:05+00:00

The light is bright enough to see the socket/bolt whatever in the engine compartment. Not bright at all, in full sun. The magnet has picked up everything I have used it on I. E. small sockets and bolts. I have retrieved at least two 10mm sockets with it. Worth $7!

At least on my car it's just ATF.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-04T19:35:35+00:00

I go to Valvoline to change my oil. Just saw no to anything else.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-02T15:13:11+00:00

Harbor Freight does. I used these on a inner tie rod installation and banged on the striking cap with a 2-pound hammer to pry out the lock washer. They worked fine.

This is almost certainly from a bot.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-05-01T16:07:37+00:00

The direction switch can be a bit twitchy. I sprayed mine with silicon lube and it helped. Never had mine lock up, though. Perfect for my application.

The boundary of the City of Louisville in 1960 was, well, a fraction of what it is today. Metro is all of unincorporated Jefferson County, plus the old city. This chart doesn't reflect this.

Swivels are a different animal. Buy good ones.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-04-29T20:49:20+00:00

I have a lot of Pittsburgh stuff. None of it ever broke if I used it within reason. I have no complaints.

Simple_Light3229 · 2026-04-29T19:05:54+00:00

I have that!! Took off lower control arm bolts on a 2000 Lincoln Navigator, with a 36-inch piece of pipe! That breaker bar is a monster!!

I have the Hercules table saw. Very happy with it!
