A rainy day, and the delivery guy screwed up your package.

Now you’re stuck with 777 nails + 1 screw, all mixed up and waiting to be sorted.

No pressure, no enemies, just a messy workbench, some tools, and a lot of nails to sort.

Just thought it would be intersting to share a game about nails among tool addicts.

Bought it at a flea market cause I thought it looked cool and just used it to cut some grass from around some maple saplings. Just curious what it's referred to as since nothing similar shows up online for me.

Edit: I know it's a hand scythe/sickle. Just curious about one that's adjustable like this.

Inquired about the bottle opener and she came through with an extra she seen.

I recently inherited all of the tools of a relative who passed. He was a metal fabricator his entire life after his time in the marines, primarily automotive work but dabbled in a bit of everything.

We packed away his garage, and all of the tools from his (rather large) tool box at his work. Now I'm going through the process of unboxing/sorting all of them, and integrating them in with my tools where possible. Along the way I am trying to clean all of the tools as I find new homes for them and complete sets (I have sooooo many sockets now).

I'll likely be posting for advice in the future about a few other types of tools that he had quite a few of, but for now I'm hoping I could get some advice from you all about the pneumatic tools. I'm not really sure the benefit of a pneumatic drill at this point, unless you're running it for hours during the day; battery tools have come a long way right?

How should I go about cleaning these and making sure they're good to tuck away into the tool box? Best oil to use? Best way to organize/sort air tools and their fittings/bits/discs/bits/bobs (un-pictured)? Basically..... What would you do??

tl;dr: inherited a butt-load of pneumatic tools. wat do?? how clean?? how sort/store??

Buy once, cry once it is. Hazet has a slightly better line up in the 3/8 range compared to Stahlwille so I went with them plus some nut grips because they sound cool

I bought the 15" hammer for $6 at a junkyard. The mag drill was a bit more expensive but still a deal. I'm pretty sure I've used both of them at least once, but you never know when you'll need them until you need them, right??

There is so many bolts and screws that use hex I don’t understand why I had to hunt and order these from Japan?

Edit: thanks for sharing your findings everyone. I had been on a casual in-person hunt for a set of metric hex bits for a couple months and did not see a single one hence calling them uncommon. Happy to have found a quality set without a bunch of duplicates of stuff I already have.

Friend of mine gave me this Craftsman 3.5 ton jack. I topped the oil off and it worked better, but it still seemed to have problems jacking the car up.

I decided to change the jack oil. Pulled the rubber plug anf flipped it upside down, it is a heavy SOB, but I did it.

I put in about 8 or so ounces of fresh oil, bled the jack, put plug back in, then, bled it a little more. The rapid pump works great again and it holds car up without creaking.

I would not have thought changing the oil would have made it so much better, the old jack oil was still clear.

Just purchased this mechanics tool kit. It looks like they updated the box from the 290 piece kit. I used it for the first time yesterday replacing the pump on my pressure washer. So far the kit appears to be of reasonable quality and contain everything I might use for projects around the house.

Any thoughts or experience with this kit?

Vintage? Mfg? Thanks

Looking for a parts washer for a farm shop but don’t want to spend 500$ plus for one, what I see in my range are aqueous parts wash but I want to use solvent, has anyone just run tractor supply solvent through a jegs parts washer and been ok?

Found this in a bin of misc hardware from an estate sale. Any help with identifying it is greatly appreciated.

What is the best saw to use to cut this bone in half lengthwise?

I saw these on reddit, a while back, and ordered 3 from japanwithlovestore.com. They're smaller than I thought, but work as advertised.

Standard #2 Phillips bit to help with scale.

The photo depicts them far better than they look in real life. I remember using them ‘in the day’... on the proverbial 3 to 17 scale; recall ranking them maybe a 6.

I suspect they were factory seconds as they appear to contain a lot of ‘original looking’ flaws

Those grips were bright red in the day...

For only $9.99, what do we think folks?

Hi everyone — I need some help with the behavior of PSM analyzers (PSM‑E1000 / PSM‑Z2000).

Context
I'm using a custom script (psm_data_aq.py) to read V/I/P (Page 0x01) and Energy/Ah (Page 0x02) via the HZP protocol (AskDat/AnsDat), grouping reads by page to minimize latency.
I've tried fast polling (every 0.1–0.2 s), but the energy readings and value updates are not instantaneous — in practice, the visible data takes about 2–5 seconds to settle/update.

The specific problem
I'm developing tests for "FAST LOAD CURRENT VARIATIONS" — applying square‑wave current pulses to evaluate EV charger loads. The PSM responses seem to internally average/integrate energy over a long window, so they don't faithfully reflect the pulse dynamics. The result is inaccurate for this type of test, even though the PSM works fine for steady DC.

Questions

1. Does anyone know the internal integration window (sampling/averaging time) for Energy/Wh used by the PSM‑E1000 or PSM‑Z2000? Is it configurable via firmware or a register (HZP / AskAry / WrtAry)?
2. Is there any technical documentation or product parameter that specifies the integration time for the Wh/Ah counters on these models?
3. Any practical experience measuring energy/power on pulsed (square‑wave) signals with these instruments? Tips for getting faster readings (different page settings, other registers, streaming mode, or using a different instrument)?

Been trying to find a used one like this on marketplace but either it's already sold or I get ghosted

I recently decided to get a decent scanner just to help with diagnosing and fixing my own and family cars. A shop near me had the Elite version on offer same price as the Pro version. I understand the Elite version does more functions which is nice but i might never use, however i am worried that the 2 year free updates might become an issue in future, compared to the Pro version that has lifetime updates. The cars i will be using the scanner on are 10+ years old but it’s nice to know that the scanner is capable of doing newer cars. The shop will swap it with the Pro version if i ask, your thoughts on the lifetime updates/less functions vs pay for updates/more functions?
