What is your fucking budget dumbass. Kind of important information to provide. There is a big difference between saying you can spend $50 and you can spend $400.

How much can you spend per wrench or how much is the total you can spend? You need about 50 wrenches, right? Do you need them right now or can you do some digging first? Awaiting your response.

Yeah I fucked up.
Probably around 200 for each set metric and SAE. I don't think I need every step in metric usually 32 34 36 40 are what I end up borrowing.
I'd also like to get a set of crows feet the same way.
Time wise, I have access to my coworker's boxes and unless their using it, its not an issue but I'm tired of asking.
As much as I would love to have a snap on set, I don't use them enough to justify having them in snap on wrench over 1-3/16 or 24-25mm. I'd still like American steel but I'm willing to flex a little for like Gear Wrench or some other quality imported tool.
Application is mostly for use on hydraulic lines and fittings. Occasionally on pullies I can't get a socket on. Seldom high torque applications.
And because I'm so rural Snappy is the only place I can reliably get warranty.
I have looked at blackhawk as that's what one of my coworkers has, but the black oxide finish on those tools is already rusting and he's only had them for less than a year and I'm in the high plains which is pretty arid.
pic semi-related one of the bigger pieces i work on.

>>1240654
>but better than HF quality.

stop with that bullshit. maybe their electrical tools suck, but their best quality sockets, both regular and impact are excellent and cost way less than elsewhere. also their open end, box end, and combination wrenches are fine if you buy their best.

I can't speak for their ratchets because I already had plenty.

buy a good Harbor Freight socket and try to break it. Post the pic here if you succeed without doing anything crazy like smashing it with a sledge hammer.

go to home depot and buy another one for 10 bucks you dumb retard.

you see that clip thats in the pic
that holds the bottom piece from falling off
if you lose that you're fucked
buy a new one and in the meantime turn the valves under the sink to the off position

>>1240583
can i just get that little c clip?

and also, if i turn off the valve, wouldnt that turn off the water for the faucet too

also, the two wires (black and red) seem to be almost "glued" together, do you think there could be a short circuit?

>>1240482
Possibly. It looks like he pulled them out and shoved them back in the connector, but he did it backwards.

The red wire should go to the post that's in the + side on the back. It looks like its backwards in your pic.

I would probably take the connector off and remove it from the board. Then just solder the wires directly to the board.
I think I would also tape the whole thing to the usb plug because there's not a useful amount of wire left and it's just going to break something dangling.

In b4 someone jokes about eating your brothers pet. Because hurr hurr rabbits

You can also use North half masks with the p100s

My question is more if I need the eye protection, ie. Will ABS plastic fumes cause eye damage or any kind of damage through exposure to eyes?

>>1240470
why not just do it outside with just a faceshield?

12v battery charger, 12v battery, 12 volt siren, 12v relay. Wire relay so that when the power is on from the charger, it is energized, and the siren is off. Soon as power cuts off, relay fails closed and completes circuit from battery to siren. Done.

>is it possible to restore it white or dye it?

I think foam just does that because it absorbs freon from the air.

If you do paint it, you should ask the guy to add a shot of black, so he'll know you are a pro.

>>1239916
I think painting them would compromise the sound absorption capability.

>>1239880
probably fine why wouldn't it be?
probably wash it down with plenty water or else it will fucking stink

Found the problem. Start capacitor melted. Leads came out the top and juice everywhere.

How close does the replacement start cap need to be to the original?
This is original.

Just throw more glass at it.

A 24" by 36" piece of 1/2" toughened glass would cost about 80 bucks here.

>>1239791
This window gets used regularly fall/spring/summer so I'd rather not seal the whole thing up with more glass. I was thinking a barricade or something to keep it away from the window.

>>1239770
how about she gets off her fat ass and shovels it? i know she's fat. don't fight me on this.

going to be real tough to restore the map. I'd suggest reglueing as much as possible them putting a thick layer of poly on top the prevent any further oxidation.

>>1239757
Don't mind having to peel the map off completely, just looking for a good alternative to the map

What are you planning on putting on a desk that a 1 inch thick piece of pine will need to be reinforced? are you planning on using a 3 foot wide, 1 inch thick slab of pine for the top?

>>1239645
Dimensions should be a little distance from the side of the table so we can actually see where the lines are, thank you.

Pillar at each corner, a member going across the length of it to prevent sagging, and cross bracing between the legs to prevent swaying.

I'm gonna be putting two computer screens, the part on the left will have my soldering station and diverse components/scope/etc
>>1239654
Is this picture any better? I've changed the design slightly but I'm a complete newb, I've never done any woodworking in my entire life

>>1239584
PROTIP: Tools meant to make other tools should probably just be purchased. Becuase those tools have to be very exact, and were made with tools more complicated than you will ever understand.

Also, just get a normal fucking whetstone from your local korean grocer. I have one and all my knives are shaper than disposable razors now.

>>1239587
>Just buy stuff
Shoo, DMT shill!
This is a DIY board m8, plus I already stated I have access to diamond grit, I also have someone who can surface grind a steel plate dead flat for me, so sticking the diamond to the plate while keeping it flat seems to be the main issue thus far.

>diamond
No you retard, just get a cheap ceramic norton wetstone. Diamond just embeds itself.

>>1239564
dont touch the big power filter capacitors

check out air raid siren (mechanical not electric) schematics. Basically the same thing

Be sure to weld it to your car exhaust.

Looking at something like this, aluminium housing with holes in it, turbo compressor and ball bearings- then run lots of wind through it

are you in prison?

Most materials for doing tattoos are cheap, especially ink.
Yet people STILL regularly post here asking how to make ink.

>never change, 4chan

>>1239275
I am not in prison, no. But supplies here are hella expensive, and i'm still in training. So i don't have a lot of funds to spend. I'm from a pretty poor country, and all the prices are EU standard. I have heard of pencil graphite ink and sut ink, but this seems as the safest way to make it.
