ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, came into existence in 1898 as an organization that develops and publishes technical standards for many materials, including all types of steel, aluminum, and stainless.

No, the bizarre number of vehicles seemingly needing to go west at that hour is the problem. If they had another route, traffic from Crewe Rd and from South Sound could move into the roundabout freely, and, if people used the correct lanes, one lane of the roundabout each would be going east from each road, and traffic would be moving instead of bumper-bumper.

After the investment was made in the first P2, NSA Industries realized that it was the right equipment for the work, which was mostly in the 20- to 16-gauge range.

The seating position is horrible. The engine is under powered. The bodies and frames rust away. Little good an engine is if it has no home.

Even a newbie can go around the table saw section at the local home improvement store and feel that some saws have easier adjustments than others. Some are simply easier while others are downright innovative in various ways. Porter-Cable came out of the value group for the overall win with adjustments that are both smooth and intuitive. Dual adjustment wheels mean that you’ll be able to accurately adjust your blade height and your bevel angle—a feature no other saw in this group has.

Gladiator advantagesWhile both vehicles are very capable off-road, if you’re one of those who take that activity seriously, the Gladiator will merrily keep on going after the ZR2 has had to surrender to its limits. This Jeep is really built to overcome the most difficult obstacles thanks to elements like a disconnectable front stabilizer bar.

Q: What should I do to prevent water leaks that damaged the kitchen cathedral ceiling of my 1970s house after a thaw last winter? There are 30 potlights in the ceiling. The insurance team feels the cause could be a roof leak, condensation or both.

Cutline Marker Accuracy: On at 90°. Off at 45° – kerf overlaps edge lineBlade Visibility: Good – small view windowBevel Angle Setting: Excellent – 1° increments; printed-on markings; good contrast; adjustable pointerGuard Action: Very Good on shave cuts – riving knife helpsTracking against Straightedge: Very Good – can only guide along left side thoughGrip and Trigger: Fair – horizontal handle makes the saw more difficult to operate one-handed; sliding safety button in the center of the handle requires repositioning hand for best cutting grip

I’m thinking that Jeep execs carefully considered who their customer really is (and isn’t). I cannot imagine auto parts stores or pizza drivers using Gladiators to deliver the oil filters (and garlic knots). Ditto for masons and plumber’s assistants.

FCA realizes that the new Jeep truck will be a outdoors toy that is occasionally asked to do a little work around the ranch, or the mall. I’m impressed with what they’ve done and how it’s targeted.

That’s because the spacing and alignment on this new 12-speed cassette means that all trainers produced today are compatible with Shimano and SRAM 9/10/11 speed cassettes, with a handful also compatible with certain Campagnolo configurations. But out of the box 12-speed configuration? Nope-de-nope.

This has the benefits for shops as well, who are trying to prep bikes with multiple power meters and groupsets around, to keep track of what bike is what. So it’s more than just a consumer-focused thing.  And of course, it’ll allow you to do firmware updates from the app as well.
