I'm a bit surprised at the negative feed back on this tool. I guess you are all way more skilled then I thought.

Anyway I'm doubling down and ordering another one, just put the order in and it should be arriving on March 10.

I shot a couple of pictures in case people are having trouble figuring out how this tool works. It uses the same principal as a standard hammer with the curved claw. use1.jpg use2.jpg use3.jpg I have a tool similar to the one shown above and here is a shot of the two of them to reflect the differenc...

I have had that same thing happen to stash of belts I got on sale and in bulk. Frustrating! I found information re-gluing or taping them but had no luck with that. I did find that there is a 3M adhesive that commercial places use but you can not buy it. It also has to ship in a controlled environmen...

I how ever have a Ultimate Dust Deputy SD Cyclone Separator on top of mine. So most of the space above the CT is used up and adding a handle changes li...

I haven't e-filed yet, waiting to do a last check of all the numbers to make sure I entered them all correctly etc. It would appear that in the end things are about the same this time as the last couple of times. However this coming year has me worried. Investment income was down the last two years....

My brother had a couple of good suggestions to add, auto parts stores and lawn mower repair places..... Anyway I had to do some modifications to the springs, got two different versions to try out. The first one was the right length but larger diameter and thicker material. Well, it fit but it but wa...
