There are very few tools I recommend with such gusto, everyone needs at least one pair of these. These are very nicely made and probably underpriced at $20-25 range, considering the cost of Knipex and the like. These are part tool and part advil because they will save you a lot of headaches.

This is the main reason why I'd shy away from one. You'll save some money but you'll also get less total run time and less life of the battery, in the end you'll still probably save money...as long as the battery doesn't fail prematurely. I believe Milwaukee has a 2 year warranty on batteries so the insurance might be worth the additional cost.

That is a killer deal!

When I got them I just went to town on some screws that I didn't care if they got marred up, when I realized it was about as easy as using a screwdriver...I knew I was going to love these pliers. I think my test subject was my weight bench, which has some rust on the hardware.

You make that sound a lot easier than it is...you do great work. I've seen more than a few wood shealths, that is by far the nicest.

You should definitely pick them ALL up. At worst you can flip them for a few bucks, the bit holder alone sells for how much you paid. I've heard they work well but would love to hear your thoughts. It's too bad more people don't know the name or they'd probably still sell some Wiha stuff.

Hitachi would probably sell more tools if they didn't look like toys from Nickelodeon in the 1990s.

None here in Tampa

Really? They were in a lot of the Halloween multipacks at Walmart. Not sure about other stores

Glad it happened, kicked that chip right off her shoulder. Wish someone would do it to Mayweather too.

It gets worse, have you ever searched Amazon gift cards? $5 gift card for $10 BIN: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Amazon-Gift-Card-Fast-Delivery-Trusted-Seller-d3so1-/151882984407?hash=item235cee6bd7:g:VUgAAOSwymxVOoYX Pretty bad right?

Awesome! Best of luck for next season, it's great that you're giving her the opprotunity to see how far she can go.

Get the extended warranty, I'm literally getting about one E-series 60-70" Vizio a week with a bad panel (not fixable) and my shop isn't even a Vizio authorized service center. I haven't seen this many failures on a line of TVs ever. If you wait until Monday when I'm back in the shop I can get you the models effected, it's only about three models that I've noticed thus far...I know it's a E-601-something. It's not a bad TV when it's working, they have a LG or Sharp panel(good picture) and timing control board, a Sharp(Delta) power supply(these are VERY well made) and a Chinese main board(Foxconn).

For sure, you could build a business around it but it will take work and customers are mostly a-holes. Realistically if you want one bad enough, you can get your money out of it but you're going to put in your time and patience! ...and maybe your mornings haha

You could buy some blank trophies and do trophies and other misc stuff like that. Or maybe personalized mirrors, picture frames and crap that girls like to give as presents. Lot's of options to make your money back...though it's not going to happen overnight or in a month or six.

The thing is if I go through getting some oil and a container specifically for this, I'm going to use it for more than some bits. I need fuel for my torch also, might need a new torch because that thing hasn't been used in a long time. I also have 11 different models, 9 different manufacter's bits to use right now, haha.

I've wanted one for a while also. I have a friend that when his baby was born prematurely by almost 3 months I had to jump into action and get him some Cuban cigars. I posted on a forum that I was looking for some with aluminum tubes so I could get them laser etched with her name and birthday. Well some incredible member of the forum(his name is Ron) sent me five cubans for free as a gift to my friend, still can't find someone that seems reliable to do the laser etching locally. I have a contact that will do it (he gave me the idea) but he's in the UK but I really don't want to put him out. Point is, if you have the money to buy the tool you can make money on the side because there's a shortage of reliable laser etchers. The guy I know in the UK does everything from acrylic to aluminum to cigars, it's a really cool tool! So you should buy one! haha

Yeah, those would turn green when the optical block went, they were great sets when they came out. I actually replaced an optical block about two months ago in a Sony. Apparently there is a guy that repairs the optical blocks for about $200. I didn't really do any homework on the guy because I was just pulling it and then reinstalling and calibrating it, but it worked. I normally just tell them to replace the TV because the optical block is expensive as hell when you can find them, it would probably be a $800 repair now. The only projection TVs we do anymore are DLPs, changing color wheels and DLP chips mostly. Keep in mind, that set was actually made by Sony a lot of components were made in Japan. Currently, all Sonys that I've seen are made in China buy one of the various Chinese companies. So better or worse, you really can't compare that Sony to this Sony. I haven't seen (inside) their curved displays yet(which I believe they stopped "making"). I wouldn't buy a Sony, I really wouldn't...shame because they made some really good TVs about 6-7 years ago and before then...I just don't see the value over an LG or even a LG paneled Vizio. Sony mostly uses AUO panels, same kind of panels you'd often find it an off-name brand.

Isn't that done in a flamed oven? The heat a quench introduces carbon(from the oil) into the metal...at least that is my understanding. I've thought about doing this with bits/screwdrivers...but I've never done it and I'm not sure about how it fully effects the metal. I know it makes it harder but generally harder means more brittle...but I don't know and haven't done enough research to start doing it myself.

Did you try them without the plastic cup? If the arch doesn't line up or it's too big it can cause a lot of pain and damage to your foot.

The owner of the shop I work at is big into Ham and Shortwave, he has a couple of plasmas and they don't really interfere any more than LCD/LEDs...but yeah, if you're buying new you aren't going to get a plasma. Panasonic stopped making them last December, Samsung and LG stopped this year. They couldn't get the price low enough to compete with the Chinese LEDs, it's an expensive technology. I should have some magnetic ferrite cable clips at the shop if you are having any interference problems, if you want a couple. Just PM me an address.

Definitely a big thank you to our veterans. Also a huge thank you to our solders at home, law enforcement and firefighters!

I can vouch for Superfeet insoles also, I don't use them in shoes/boots but I did use them in my last pair of hockey skates. Make sure you do your research and get the correct color code for you. Very good quality and they are supportive, most people think spongy is going to be more comfortable but a snug, supportive bed for your feet is really what's comfortable. Spongy can lead to blisters and muscle fatigue. Nalu, that is dead on. Mattresses are not something to skimp on, a good mattress can change your life for the better. A poor mattress can literally debilitate you, back pain is not something that should be thought lightly about, especially as you age. Keep in mind you spend 5-8 hours a night on your mattress, how much time do you spend in your car? You can get by on a beater car/truck instead of driving something nice and easily save $10,000 or more. A top of the line mattress is under $3,000 and you will probably keep it for 8-10 years. I'm a big fan of Sterns & Foster and Sealy(same company) myself...and yes, I sold furniture/mattresses when I was in college and I used that line to sell...but it's true.

That's a really neat idea! It looks awesome man

I work on TVs all day, 5 days a week...I know how to calibrate a TV. Most people don't know what they're doing, I do. Every TV out of the box or at the store is set up to look like crap. I hear several times a week "Wow, I didn't realize my TV could look that good" or if it's next to a Panasonic plasma it's "My TV looks great but why doesn't my TV look that good?"
