https://youtu.be/0EwraSl1aPI I ended up buying whatever my local hardware store had. I use them when grinding or cutting stuff or working above my head of course, but I kind of hate them because even though they're not scratched up at all, they still make stuff more difficult to see somehow.

I have been using my Bouton Traditionals a lot lately and I’m a fan, but I still prefer the gasketed Uvex goggles or a full face shield are better for lots of grinding/overhead work.

3M Virtua CSS or SecureFit with the foam are excellent, and I use them with and without the foam as general safety glasses. The sides are a little bulky under ear muffs on the Virtua. The foam is nice just to help avoid stuff bouncing off your face and working its way into your eyes. For a much more real seal, I love these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WPSEAK/ I do a lot of sawmilling and bandmills blow awful clouds of heavy wet dust everywhere. These are the only things that have worked for me so far. Somewhat delicate but goddamn they work well. Also it's absolutely worth buying a 100 pack of some kind of anti-fog cleaner wipes. If you can avoid dropping safety glasses, having wipes around to clean them instead of your shirt or something makes them last forever. Anti fog actually mostly works if you use it regularly too.

e: oops wrong thread for a project update, I just wanted to poo poo on this tool in particular: I bought an ABN stud extractor set on the recommendation of the Project Farm guy, and it effortlessly turned my threaded stud into a beautifully polished, unthreaded stud. Guess I'll go buy a torch. ryanrs fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Feb 25, 2021 |

As safety coordinator for my 4 person office, I bought like 20 pairs of different kinds of safety glasses and littered them all over our one room office. No cases, no organization, just safety glasses all over the loving place. No excuses that you couldn't find one.

Bouton's forever! https://www.amazon.com/Bouton-249-5...396&s=hi&sr=1-1 I had a professor in college that swore by these, I bought some, loved them, then they got lost or someone walked off with them within the year - forgot about them - watched the project farm safety glasses video about a year ago and was taken back very quick - ordered all 3 types, clear, sunglasses and the IR version for using the laser cutter/plasma - I love them, wear the clear ones almost daily - my wife actually appropriated the sunglasses and wears them as her daily shades, once I figured out she took them, i took the side guards off for her and they actually look pretty stylish on her.

I bought a pile of Bearcat, Uvex, or AOSafety safety ones years ago from Zoro, and scattered them around. I've got face shields too, specifically the Bionic. I've got a couple of expensive pairs, they're not much better. Maybe a bit better anti fog. They all scratch the same when dropped or sprayed with tile fragments.

Before I started wearing prescription I always found uvex to be the most comfortable. I'd recommend a face shield too, great for grinding and sanding drywall joints on the ceiling. I still cant find a pair of prescription safety glasses that are plastic for arc flash and aren't uncomfortable.

So I'm an idiot and didn't realize that the makita ratchet that's so popular right now is actually 12v and not the 18v that is the universe I am currently in. Makita has a 18v ratchet and I'm not in to it, so I did the right thing and bought the Mil(fuckey) M12 stubby 3/8 - my OCD is pretty upset about this, but the form factor of the red one is so much better, its cheaper, magazine style battery, compact - WHATEVER! then i saw more M12 stuff... I'm hosed.

In Milwaukee chat, I'm pissed -- my M18 7 1/4" circular saw is completely fucky. It won't start at all unless you give it some percussive therapy, and even then it starts with a grinding-gear sound, if not a full-on stutter. The thing has seen maybe 5 hours of use in a year and a half. I know it's under warranty, but come on, that's bullshit.

That does suck. I live in a city ~100K people and we have our own local warranty depot. Hopefully you can just drop it off at a guy so you're not without it for long? If it's really fucky he might be able to just authorize a new one or a reman unit.

What the poo poo is an arbor press typically used for? Don't have, need or want one but I was just reminded of their existence and never really knew what the gently caress they were for. Also remember that show that Stacey David was on, either Trucks! or........ the other one after that, they would give away a Dake arbor press to whoever had their ride, or question or whatever the gently caress featured/answered on the show

Quicker than a hydraulic press though. They've fallen out of favor with hydraulic presses being more versatile. Useful if you're press fitting bearings all day or something.

meatpimp posted:You buy the ratchet, then the long neck ratchet. Honestly, I disagree, I haven’t touched my short ratchets since I bought long necks. The extra length is almost never an issue, but the extra clearance from the body being further away lets me get it into more places. If I was replacing my tools, I’d go longneck first IMO.

This, but also because they're hand powered there's significantly less safety equipment required to have them on the manufacturing lines I'm familiar with. The (important) safety overhead for a hydraulic tool makes an arbor press a much quicker thing to get moving.

I took the blade off and blew everything out today. No change. Sounds like / seems like there's a physical gear problem inside. Sometimes it grinds on startup, sometimes it's perfectly fine, sometimes it chugs. I'm thinking the chugging is when it hits the bad gear spot on startup... who knows.

I've been thinking about off season wheel and tire storage. I have two vehicles with second sets of wheels and tires. The GMC has 275/55 r20s, which are a bit heavy to lift high. The Escape has like 230s on 16s, which aren't so bad. I also keep them in the backyard since my garage is full. I'm working on a shed and I'd like to have a well planned solution for storage inside. My initial thought was a pair of plywood platforms like pallets I can take a full stack of tires with my dolly back and forth. That helps extend the bottom plate of the dolly so I can actually use it. Very simple, but it might be too heavy to move all four across rough terrain. The pathway is lumpy grass turf. I currently use my wheelbarrow and do two at a time since they're too big for the wheelbarrow. I think the two columns of tires is acceptable, and they'll snug into the low side of my shed. It's tough to find much already made that I can't do cheaper and specific to my application. Its like four trips a year so I'm not too particular.

Has anyone tried any of these diy sandblaster kits? I have several 500gal oil tanks available to turn into a blasting cabinet or anything else I could use them for. As far as I can tell I'd only be out the cost of the kit and my time plus it would be huge compared to one of those HF cabinets.

SpeedFreek posted:Has anyone tried any of these diy sandblaster kits? Best way to get a sandblasting cabinet, is to take on a job that will pay for it. They do take up a bunch of shop space and all the small details can chew up a lot of time. gloves, media trap, light fixture, door/hinge seals. The vacuum filtration is totally worth it and a big component to maintain. And a compressor, and on and on. Making your own, high pressure washing cabinet, that would be cool. Pressure washer hose sprayer jets are cheap. Rotating table, tankless/or old water heater and a pump, set a timer and automate. edit: Something like this ancient thread https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/heating-my-home-made-dish-i-mean-parts-washer.1030309/page-3 Making something bigger than used dishwashers.

Are normal screwdriver bits some sort of standard imperial socket size? I want to use the hex bit in my ratchet because allen wrenches are a gently caress, but the metric sockets don't fit - one's too small, the next size is too large.
