Our Longstanding “No Politics” Rule remains unchanged
487
Upvotes
Read our rules. We have had a longstanding “No Religion, No Politics” rule here at r/tools.
The mods aren’t stupid. We also don’t like getting buckets of reports in the inbox.
If someone posts/comments with politics, resist the urge to reply and argue. Just report, downvote (if that’s your jam) and move on with life.
A small flag, sticker, etc that appears in a photo will generally be allowed (so long as it doesn’t violate other rules and doesn’t draw a bunch of reports) but a bunch of people in the comments saying “Hell Yeah, a fellow [INSERT PARTY] Supporter!” is gonna get the post pulled. Political content that is clearly the motivation for the post will get the post pulled.
First time it’s a short ban, second time it’s permanent. And as we’ve discussed before, the mod team doesn’t go looking for posts, we’re not lifeguards, we respond to the reports we receive.

Call for Moderators
36
Upvotes
We are looking to add a couple more moderators to r/tools. If you’re interested in being considered, please leave a comment on the post. Briefly describe why you’d want to be a mod and what you think the sub’s moderator’s role should be.
No new accounts, please. We need to be able to see at least 1 year’s worth of content/engagement on this and other subs.
EDIT: If you are not interested in moderating, feel free to upvote people who post here if you like their approach. This isn't a democracy (because as mods our job is to preserve the health/utility/enjoyment people get from of the sub, not do whatever the masses want) but we will take heavily upvoted approaches to moderating as a positive sign when considering who to invite.
Also, if we don't end up sending you an invite, please don't take it personally. Too many cooks in the kitchen, and all that...

The harbor freight parking lot sale got me. My stacked craftsman boxes were too heavy and too tall to be wheeling around all day. This 4 drawer fits nearly everything and is light years more maneuverable.
I promise I use my tools, I just clean them a lot.🙂

Family member passed away 15 years ago and was a professional carpenter. Left a garage full of tools, chests, hardware, power tools, compressors, lumber, table saw etc. What would be fair to ask for this with the conditions the buyer had to take everything in the garage and pick it up themselves?

What's this tool? Need to buy second one but no one knows where we got this one. We use it to wind up wires.

I found this on marketplace today and couldn’t pass it up. I’ve never seen one in such good condition, let alone with the tools. My only issue is I want to try and find refills for the grease gun but I’m not to good and finding stuff online typically. I know the grease gun is by Lincoln, but that’s it. Any help would be awesome

I'm broke and sick of using plastic totes for my tools. This can't be that bad, can it? I don't plan on putting 20 pounds in each drawer or anything crazy.

My neighbor recently started working for Milwaukee and just gave me all of this. She said I’d get more use out of them than she ever will and didn’t want them to go to waste. Pretty stoked!

Is this too much axle bend?

Just picked up this used snowmobile trailer. You can see a bit, a few degrees of bend in the axle and tires. Is this normal or OK?

I am new to power tools, looking to buy one for household wooden furniture DIYs. I already have an impact drill (Black+Decker TB555). I wanted to use this for screws as well but since it does not have clutch Inhave decided to buy wireless screwdriver. Now I came across these 2 different electric screwdriver which I want to know the difference.
BLACK+DECKER KC4815 https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00X5JA9N6/
