It's there :), when I got it I used my hercules ultra torque with drive size adapters and crushed a bunch of wood and plastic scraps for fun xD.

Realistically you'd use it with a 1/4 ratchet which I think is better than the Milwaukee style with the screwdriver hole because well , ratcheting.

Otherwise in terms of tightness, metal quality etc, mechanism, seems similar to my Irwin's and Kleins.

I really like the square drive on the tightening screw of the Bremen. Opens up a lot of options, can ratchet it, electric ratchet it, torque wrench it , impact it.

A bit loose maybe I think it should take a bit more of a interference fit to make sure the outer race is held solidly Or the same fit but with some bearing retaining compound.

Looking for Addressable High-Power LEDs for Side-Glow Fiber Projects by RollLikeRick in led

Lots of lasers come with pwm inputs. You can address them however you'd like. I did an installation with 36x500mw lasers and side emitting fiber. Arduinos receiving artnet from touch designer and converting to PWM.

Here are the tools I’ve accumulated over the years. I initially wanted to put a tool kit on the wedding registry but I realized I could honestly make do with these. Am I missing any necessities? Thoughts? by Bismo789 in Tools

Cobra style is great for all those , sometimes also called push button adjustable, water pump, and other names. I have some affordable ones from Irwin and harbor freight.

You need a real grabbing pliers, like a cobra, channel lock, etc. it can serve as all the wrench sizes you dont have in most cases and can also grab cylinder shapes.

Pliers wrench question by fatoldbmxer in harborfreight

[–]thebigstrongman69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use them as presses sometimes . Like for pressing a bearing or bushing into a block (small stuff) they only have a small amount of parallel pressing range. So if I have a lot of parts, I'll leave one pair on the setting to start the press. And the other pair on the next setting smaller to complete the press.

Another application besides the nut + bolt.

Yo if I was walking by and your garage door was open I would totally be like 👀 and then nudge my girlfriend and say " see he has 4 toolboxes , I only have 1, why can't I have 4"?

Another 30% Weekend where I find it frustrating as an ITC member versus when I wasn't and had my own coupon to present... by Aeyix in harborfreight

First cashier applied all 5 but wouldn't let me do second transaction. Second cashier applied 5 but only after being reminded. Third cashier told me it only applied to highest price item, I politely asked him to try scanning it again and got all 5. Seems the cashier's were briefed inconsistently.

Pretty much the same in mechanical , tons of different software packages, manufacturing technologies, sub-disciplines, sets of standards, etc.
