New Handyman Thread By El Trollo

I do like spline though for SDS hammer drill...

Usually it's a tough one to get anymore though.
Ahh well... On to the Milwaukee, Bosch and Hilti.

Yeah I'd be scared about using a spline socket. When I have to pull them out usually the nuts and bolts are rusted together... A six point is my usual "go to". Of an appropriate size. And yes, craftsman is usually my last choice as they tend to stretch or crack or even break a lot more than even the husky sockets.

Even their half in drive ones.

They look pretty though(craftsman)...

They work.before home Depot sold them.the automotive and air craft industry was using them.I wasn't too confident either until I used it.no play at all.
 
Most of the nuts I play with are 7/16 or 9/16. Sometimes 3/8 or 5/16 when it's a panel or tapcons.

Nutdrivers and a drill usually fixes me right up....once in a great rare while that 11/32 comes in handy for lights...but I make do with some babylocks. (Small channel locks)

AMD even rareer I'll use half inch for strut straps on big conduits.

Oh so you use extension and wobbles and security bits more than I ever do.

I hate automotive work. My radio don't work currently but I don't want to take apart the dash to fix it. That tell you anything?

Wobble bits not often,I use more the universal joint and or socket combo with them.
 
When I needed them My 4 foot and 6 foot drills bits were just the ticket.

Nothing like a good sledge hammer.....
Click to expand...

There are times when a good sledge hammer really does a great job of it!

One day, years ago, I was in the backyard, breaking up an old, nasty 9" wide sidewalk, using the good ol' sledge hammer to make life easier. I heard the doorbell. There was a door-to-door salesman on the other side of the locked screen door. He saw me, saw the sledge hammer in my hand, apologized for disturbing me, and left. Quickly.

That sledge hammer did a great job of it!
 
Back in the day, if you broke a Craftsman took, you took it to Sears, and they gave you a new one. I once broke a 3/8 breaker bar. bent the pin on it. When I brought it in, the salesman said "I'll give you a new one, but how did you do that?

I was trying to replace the blade on a track tamper, and the nut was stuck. Put a pipe on the end of the breaker, and stood on it. And grabbed the frame, and pulled up on it.
 
I took back a skill saw once and they had quick replacing them but they did repair it for 35 bucks and it worked great.

When we were rushed Duct Tape even repaired Bullet Holes and when we needed to knock the treads off a Russiasn T10 Tank, we duct taped LAWs to our gun mounts so we could put our foot on the firing switch to launch the rockets. But you do need to waste a few to get a greaqse penciled square on your windshield in the right place and then you need one sweet nurse to fork up the Finger Nail Polish to make the Targeting Square permanent.
