smokin george Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I've got a Husky set, some Mastercraft and a Stanley set of rachets/sockets. I have to spend a couple hours reorganizing my toolbox as I just throw everything back in when I'm done with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 My garage is a disaster lol. I have to wait for some good weather to empty it wall to wall. When we bought the house the guy taped and mudded but never sanded anything. I'm going to do it all then primer/paint it and purge whatever we don't need/use. Eventually it'll be me the sled and the sxs enjoying our space lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Went slumming it today after breakfast and picking up some light bulbs. Picked up 3 screwin tools at the local bargain store. 1 Wiha (Germany) and 2 Enderes (made in MN) for $7, all new. Stopped at the sketchy pawn shop and found a made in the US Craftsman in/lb torque wrench for $20, really nice. Will have it the QA department at work check it out for me. When I say sketchy, I mean the type of pawn shop that keeps basketball hats and shoes behind locked glass cabinets and Snap On power tools out in the open type of place.

racinfarmer Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Who thinks the sketchy $20 pawn shop torque wrench will be better then 10% accurate? Tomorrow is D-day utilizing a Torque-Tronics box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 It appears as though I have won this round of sketchy pawn shop roulette. I handed the $20 Craftsman 25-250in/lb torque wrench off to the QA lab at work for them to check. At 200 in/lb it was accurate to around +8%. At 100 in/lb it was accurate to around +5%. At 50 in/lb it was accurate to around +.5%. Not bad for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturallyAspirated Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 90' bar @ 12mph @ 30k per acre would plant a bag of seed every 82.5 seconds. Say bulk price of $250 a bag, that's just over $10,000 of seed per hour. Not too shabby. Neal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
