Tool Time

Rideit would you be offended if I cross posted that to the Shit that Amuses You thread? That's hilarious.

I get those missing 10mm socket jokes on my FB pretty much daily

[rideit]

Please do. It's fucking absurd.

Story of my life. I own a shop with a shitton of tools and a few employees. Many different sets of sockets of every variation. 10mm is the first to go missing every damn time. Mother fuckers cannot keep up with them. I want to just buy 50 10mm sockets and spread them throughout every tool box and make little friendship bracelets for every employee out of them.

or we discussing specialty sockets like a low profile socket, or a swivel socket, or a slotted socket, or.....

You could always buy one of these:

Looking for nitrile glove recommendations. I would like dexterity and durability (tear resistance). Been using Kimberly Clark powder free nitriles for about 13 years. I think they are 5.9mil. Overall happy, but improvements I’d like are better fit and tear resistance. The large get loose after a while and the medium are too tight resulting in sore fingers. I’m messing around in the garage on mtb and moto about 4 to 5 times/week so going commando isn’t good for my health and tossing after each use is pricey.

Been using these….on a rec from our athletic trainers…and I’ve have been very happy with durability. I use them at ski shop/ and in my shop at home. Found them on Amazon.

I've been using these for a few years. It is possible to tear them, but they hold up way better for MTB work than thin surgical gloves.

Can confirm, the M18 Hatchet mini chainsaw is a sweet trail clearing tool. Current saw quiver:



I honestly don't see myself carrying the gas saw into the woods really ever unless there's trees that I KNOW are going to need it. The battery saw is way lighter and easier to carry/use and gets 90% of the stuff that tends to be down around here no problem so that's the one I'll take when the primary goal is clearing trail. The Silky Big Boy is perfect for days when the primary goal is a bike ride, but clearing trees is probably necessary (gets Voile strapped to the top tube). The Silky F180 goes on most bike rides except on the most popular of trails because seems like I almost always need to clear a tree or two around here. The Corona doesn't really get used much anymore; it's not a bad saw, but the Silkys just cut smoother.

Nice, I've been scoping out the electric options--we have a network of user-maintained XC/BC ski trails out my way that need a whole lot of clearing every year. I typically take that same red corona or a 24" bow saw when I go out, but that Milwaukee looks pretty handy. Something with a little longer bar--like 8-12" or so--seems like it would be perfect. Those silkys look nice too.

Yeah, the Milwaukee is an 8" bar and it would be nice if there was a 10" or 12" option - although it might not have quite enough power for that. Biggest I cut yesterday was around 10-11" diameter and it was a little slow but did it fine. It's awesome for stuff around 6" in diameter.

One thing I will say is it doesn't cut very smoothly with the top of the bar which can be an issue for some cuts.
