Can you use a regular knife sharpener to sharpen a dull machete if you have no access to a grinder?

It depends on what you call a regular knife sharpener. If you do not have access to an electric grinder, the next best tool (maybe even better, just a little slower)would be a metal file. Lay the blade on a table or flat surface with the handle hanging off the edge with the sharpened side toward you. A C-Clamp or the equivilent will make the job much easier. Using the flat side of the file begin to push the file across the sharpened area of the blade at an angle of about 20 degrees. Continue until you have filed the blade edge smooth and sharp. Then turn the blade over and move to the other end of the table and sharpen the other side. With a good file you can put a nice edge on the machete. Good Luck, DrDave

What size wrench is needed to loosen caliper bolts on my 2005 Ford Escape?

I just changed my front ones last night...It takes an 18mm socket. I used a 1/2 in drive so as to get as much torque as possible on the breaker arm to remove rusty bolts. It took a little doing and the help of some penetrating fluid.

What is a torch wrench?

# If you mean "torque" wrench, that's a tool to assist a mechanic to accurately tighten a bolt to a pre-determined torque. Torque is the twisting force. If you over-torque bolts they will fail, if you UNDER-torque them, they will work loose. # If you really mean "torch wrench", that's a term some guys use in difficult situations. "Ah, nuts, I can't get that rusted bolt to come off so I'll just use the torch wrench" Sometimes it's called a "hot wrench" or whatever other euphemism the mechanic is accustomed to, but it's basically an acetylene torch with a cutting tip.

What does SAE stand for with hand tools?

I can't seem to find an official answer, but SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers. In the early 1900s automobiles were being invented around the world, and their were many automobile companies in the US. There was a want and a need for automobile engineers to share and develop their technology, so in 1916 the Society of Automobile Engineers was formed, later they changed their name to Society of Automotive Engineers that also picked up the other trades. The Society began to develop "standards". It is from there that I believe we came into SAE tools which come from the measurement of factions of an inch. As a boy working on my Schwinn bicycle I remember using "Standard" tools, and one of the kids in the neighborhood had an English Racer that used "Metric".

So I guess to summarize SAE mechanical tools are those that are measured in a fraction of an inch and metric are those mechanical tools measured in millimeters.

SAE stands for: Standard American Equivalent. I had to buy SAE sockets and open end wrenches to work on my 1952 MG TD All MG's before the MGA would use Whitworth tools which is a 3rd standard. Even through the 1980's British cars still used Whitworth on plumbing fittings like oil cooler lines.
