Always a good idea to have one or two cheap models of each tool u have (screw drivers, pliers, wrenches, scissors, etc) to use as beaters, rough work, experimenting and loaning out

Never use this type of rag when rebuilding an engine or transmission. You might get a piece of that fiber stuck in a valve body and that will be coming back with a stuck valve , use a lint free rag or towel.

That is your opinion and I do these reviews on a variety of topics ranging from small dollar value to higher amounts. If it bothers you so much then simply don't watch them because other people find the information useful. It is not peoples issues in life but rather a awareness of things you may want to consider before purchase and running into the same issues. As far as your comment about the video being the bottom of the barrel and to review something else, well I would tell you that your comment is useless, baseless. nothing more than a petty attack, and obviously comes from a person in the shallow end of the gene pool.

I have an old school Black & Decker drill that my dad gave me years ago and after a few fails that I thought would be the right one, I ended up removing the chuck and taking into the store with me to see how the chuck key would work.
@brianfreeman36763 күн бұрын
Yeah, I know what you mean. A lot of those drill chucks can be removed and replaced with a new matching chuck/key. Some of them have a screw down inside the chuck that you remove, and some mount on a threaded shaft. I've replaced them before on hand drills and on drill presses. The ones on the drill presses mount on a tapered shaft.
@TheHomeHandyman3 күн бұрын
That is the best way if you can remove the chuck easily - I agree and with some older drills that are still good it is not so easy to find the right key.

What's up bro, mechanic here. These are shop rags, not rags meant for "cleaning". They're meant for use of like... wiping oil or grease off of your hands so they aren't as gross so you can keep turning wrenches, or the oil pan after spraying it with some brake clean etc. You want a towel that's meant for actually absorbing and picking up sills or messes? Yes... use the appropriate item (the blue ones are best). Hope that helps.
@TheHomeHandyman3 күн бұрын
I agree with you on your use of them. Myself not being a mechanic or automotive tech and using them in a shop setting they have their uses for me and i use others for the work I do also for the reasons i mentioned. You have a good point on using them for auto related projects so thanks.

Yeah, those shop towels aren’t for wiping anything other than grease of parts or hands, or holding greasy parts. They should be called grease towels because that’s what they are. You can wash them in the wash. Just wash them all at the same time, and by them selves. Whites are good in the kitchen.

I'm still on my first two bags I bought three years ago. If I'm cleaning something up in the shop I want it cheap. It's a shop. I've learned my lesson on the red ones. Yes the bleed but, the washing truck and even soaking them in vinegar first helps immensely. If I'm doing a clean up I use a rag. If it needs to be clean then the microfiber towels are great. But I was raised rags and towels are different. You don't risk the good stuff on clean up.

I have one of the HF purple spray guns that I got for $9.99. I couldn't get the paint to wet out nicely unless I cranked up the pressure to 40 psi. I was painting a motorcycle gas tank with urethane paint. A few days later, I saw one of my friends that works in a body shop. I asked him why I needed so much air pressure if it was a HVLP gun. He said that it was not really a HVLP gun. Harbor freight just calls it that. The gas tank came out beautiful, but it took some fiddling and some practice.

Well I’ve considered buying this tool to use on wood only. I used different methods including a grinder with flap discs. I think at lower speeds this will do great on wood in my situation as I give wood an aged look that’s new wood or construction grade wood. Flap discs are angled and can’t get a flat surface with it. It all depends on your needs. I imagine faster speeds cause a melting build up from what you are surfacing especially on metal. So speed is friction and makes the paint sort of melt. Wood could do that same effect as sap heats up. Either way I think I will invest in it when it on sale. Thanks for sharing this!!

Thank you for such a detailed explanation on your restore project. Your knowledge and savvy on what products to use to remove rust with chemicals and grinders really helped. You completed a project that most people would not try to do. I have an antique kitchen stove has a hole in the burn box that is slowly eroding and getting longer and deeper over the years. I have been using High Heat furnace cement which lasts two to three weeks. I am going to try the JB Weld Extreme and see if it lasts longer.
@TheHomeHandyman15 күн бұрын
I would say it is worth a try on your stove. I do not use the old stove I restored all the time so how it will hold up with constant heat every day use I am unsure of but it is still holding up for me at this time. I have used high heat furnace cement also in a fire place I have and it holds up but every few years (only using during winter months and heat is constant on it) I have to scrap and reapply some more.

I use the 3/8 goodyear hose as a water hose because I need something more compact abd don't mind the very slightly reduced water volume. Also use it for my on board air in my truck. A few probs is they get dirty and aren't always that easy to coil up (ya I know I'm a bit of a crybaby I want everything easy wahhh). You really didn't review the flexzilla at all though I was hoping for an actual opinion between flexzilla and good year air hose as I need to buy another. I don't really trust hybrid hose only trust a real rubber hose so probably will stick with what I know works.

I'd like to point out that Sellars TOOLBOX brand shop towels aren't exclusive to Harbor Freight. They're also available at Menards, Home Depot and Lowe's. I have only used Sellars TOOLBOX shop towels before as it's the only brand sold at Menards. I have the dispenser from HF also, and I've never had an issue with it. The only way I can see an issue with the dispenser is if someone mistakenly threads it using the towels from outside the roll instead of from the center. I have it hung upside down on my shed door and another in my garage. I thought the rags didn't hold up very well the last time I used them, so I will check out the Scott brand shop towels. I think I might be able to fit the box dispenser towels into the plastic Sellars dispenser, certainly worth a try. Home Depot sells both brands with the Scott priced just a little higher on average. As an aside, Home Depot has the Sellars TOOLBOX brand white rags plastic dispenser and refills available in stores by me. The refills are cheaper than Harbor Freight by two dollars and the dispenser is cheaper by one dollar.
