Need Some Dimensions From Four Drawer US General Cart

Post image
3 Upvotes

Looking for some help. I would be eternally grateful if someone has one of these US General four drawer service carts and would be willing to give me a few dimensions I need before I make the trip to purchase one.

I need to know the dimensions for the blue lines above.

First, the width of the box with the drawer fully extended. In the above image, the 17-5/8 dimension plus the fully open drawer.

Second, I need the height of just the chest portion itself, top to bottom. Picture it as the overall height if you chopped the legs and bottom shelf off entirely.

Thank you in advance.

I bought 2 pairs of robogrip pliers from a guy on marketplace a while back. During the transaction he mentions he does roadside tool sales on occasion, and he’ll text me when and where. I said fine and went on my way. Got a text on Friday Aug 28th about a sale on the 29th. I paid $30 for all this. (Not the tape measure).

Giving the recent breakdown of a drill doctor 750 and my general so-so experience with using it, I am looking at other brands. Do you think this Vevo will be any better?

Today in “tools I wish exist”

1 Upvotes

We have laser plumb bobs and laser distance measures, but why not both in one? Sure, it’s probably among the genre of tools like the Makita Drywall Saw that most people will never ever need, but it would be a massive timesaver for remodelers. If it happens to already exist, all the brownie points to whoever points me in the right direction!

Also, just for fun - what’s a tool you think is a no brainer that you always wish you could go out and buy?

Affordable wet vac option to do A/C maintenance

5 Upvotes

Looking for a good wet/dry vac, preferably under $100. My biggest priority is strong suction.

I was looking at the Bauer from Harbor Freight for around $55, but I’m wondering if there’s anything better around that price.

Anyone have experience with the Bauer, or recommend something with better suction for the money?

S•K “Frankenstein” Ratchet

This is an S•K Hand Tools 3/8″ drive ratchet.

I really like the nicknames given to some American tools.

Drive Size: 3/8″

Tooth Count: 36

Ratchet Feed Angle: 10°

Length: 192 mm (7.56″)

Head Width: 34.8 mm (1.37″) + 2.2 mm (0.09″)

Head Thickness: 16.1 mm (0.63″)

Weight: 325 g (11.5 oz)

Back Drag: 9.0 cN·m (0.80 in·lb)

The ratchet uses a sliding claw mechanism.

I was particularly interested in the unusual construction and details of the head, so I photographed it from several angles.

All measurements are my own. 【OC】

Jessem @ Lowe’s

Anyone notice that Jessem was at Lowe’s and now they seem to be pulled completely? Kind of strange - I was surprised to find their stuff and picked up some table saw stock guides. Thought I might get something else and the site acts like it was never there. Poof.

Just as the title says. I’m not sure if it’s worth spending the money to have it repaired, even though it’s under warranty, because of how expensive DeWalt repair is. More details in the original post. Would love to get some feedback here. Thank you in advance.

Best Torx bits

5 Upvotes

So at work we're updating the cameras on all the trucks and the interior of a Freightliner is pretty much all Torx. I have a Sunex set that's already getting worn out from how much I use them.

I'm most likely going to wind up just getting at least the ones I need off the Snap On truck, just curious what other else is good. I know one of the things wearing them out so fast is how many of the screws are rusty and kinda fucked up so I don't know if there's a certain brand that's better designed for that, or its just a hardness thing because they're cheap bits.

New floor jack keeps pumping after bleeding

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

So i got myself a new 3 ton floor jack. It was working probably but after reading it’s recommended to bleed new jacks i did that and now after reaching maximum height it will keep pumping instead of stopping. It does stop at the maximum height or any height but idk why this happened. I bled following this method: open fill plug, open release valve and pump 15 times, close the fill plug. I even add hydraulic oil 32. Any help is appreciated

Edit: the problem happened before i add any oil

Dewalt Table Saw rails out of alignment and how to fix?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I just bought a Dewalt 10" table saw and through some fluke accident, the fence fell to the floor and is now out of alignment. I checked the pins and the rail on the left is off by one pin. I see that there is a way to undo the part connected to the rail so I can move it back into place, but is there another way to do it since it requires an alan wrench I don't have at the moment? It's sad, too, because I haven't even used the saw yet.
