Well myself i really can't afford a cheap tool when i am out on a service call trying to get a guy back up and running and have a tool failure i need tools that will deliver . Now at home dabbling with my termite food production and not being of Norm ABREMS (sp) of wood working i do have some across the pond tools and some harbor freight are they good ah well ah not really , some my harbor freight chair clamps are JUNK as they will not really grip the pipe and slip , there drill bit work ok in pine but don't try and drill metal for drill bits that last i use Ohio Drill C clamps are ok as long as you don't stress them to much , there cross slide vice works ok for making the hats for the snowmen i make , the hole center punches are great for even hard wood but junk when usen them to mark steel as the tip will break off on the first hit of the hammer in mild steel. There dial indicator is ok for dialing in the table saw trunion to miter slot or setting the planer head for level , might be ok for setting back lash on a ring and pinion or checking crank end play and run out , there ten ton porta power worked ok when we had to straighten out my friend round baler when he plugged it up and bent the whole bale chamber and ever bar on the chain . There air die grinders hold up well as i needed one one time and left my good one at the shop seventy miles away and for like 20 bucks i got every thing i needed and figure iif it made it thru this one job it paid for it's self that was fifteen years ago and still going . There 9 and 15 dollar spray guns work for me but i am not apinter never have been and never will be but i was able to use them to spray all the urethane on all the wood trim in the remodel of this old house , . And that alone was well worth it when doing all that 8 inch base board 1/4 round cap molding and other trim . layed down a nice smooth finish .

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul ...
