I hope you got something with it for that. Those run $100-$120 bare tool. At least in the US.

Picked up a Adtech 0189 Pro 200 high temp hot glue gun today.
Seems pretty skookum.
I received mine today. Let's see how their customer service is. I hate to deal with something like this with Amazon. The "sturdy base stand" was not in the box. I double and triple checked. I buzzed an email to customer service at Adtech… Will let everyone know. Good customer service is key for us tool people.
EDIT: Ok... that was fast. I didn't post this post... and they already replied with "a base stand is on it's way"... from Mark at Adtech.

That Tekton stubby reversible wrench set looks good.

It's been out for a while. Supposed to be pretty good. I mainly wanted the battery, but approx $300 for the saw itself is pretty good. I thought of reselling for profit, but that would take too long.
Someone has a Super Sawzall with 1 batt for $240+shipping. That's tempting.
I'm most interested in the newer 2830 circular saw, when it's not $270 by itself.

I see bolts missing on the top left, but if everything else looks good I'd pay $100.
I just called a harbor freight and they have 3 carts orange, blue, or yellow tool carts for $100.
Seems like a good deal even better

New snappy pliers. These are 3 position slip joint pliers with the talon grips. Very hefty!
Ate these the ones with the ‘barrel’ shaped teeth to grip bolts?

They sell multiple carts; I doubt the carts they are referring to are the 5 drawer like pictured. If they are, buy more than one!

Yep, at $100 for a 5 drawer I'd go home with about 5.

If they are selling a yellow, blue, or orange cart it has to be the nicest one right? Because they don't sell the smaller cart in anything other than. Black and red right?

Thanks, again, to Lowes' "Hansen style tray OCD assistance" program. Found the 98 cent shallow!
Edit: I noticed in the photo that the 5.5 and 6 are on the wrong slots. Gotta go....

the 119 coupon works on the four drawer online.. http://www.hfqpdb.com/best_coupon/30",+4+DRAWER+TECH+CART ...the 99.00 was the old coupon from 2018 (http://www.hfqpdb.com/best_coupon/26_30",+4+DRAWER+TOOL+CART)
The 5 Drawer for 99.00 seems odd...Unless the manager is trying to get you to sign up for ITC or its a scratch&dent model

I got the orange 5 drawer for $107 after taxes. I got lucky not sure why. It just just a open box return item. They told me the price I was OK on the phone in on my way. I'll set it up tonight. There is a little scratch on a drawer but that's it.

Awesome deal on that. I originally bought an orange, but never opened it and returned it for a swap when I decided to order the tool boxes in green.
Also a few more ratchets, finally getting my toolbox organized and wish I had done this years ago.

A few more Tekton's to fill up a new Harbor Freight wrench organizer. I like the organizer plan to get some more when they get more in.
I bought one and still haven't opened it. Just not sure it's the right organizer for me. I'm struggling with the space it makes the wrenches take up for a drawer of wrenches I rarely use. I keep my users in the tool sorter style container, with black for metric and red for SAE, and stubby and standard length side by side at each size step. Consumes far less space and is more handy like that to me.
I understand, in my old box I had very little metric in the day and I had a small drawer for any wrench 9/16 and under. Then a drawer for anything larger. Didn't take long to find anything I needed. Having even 44" Harbor Freight box top and bottom I have so much more room to spread out and fill up. The other organizer is currently in my standard drawer. When I get more I will trim some down and try to fit some ratchet wrenches in there as well.

I've just upgraded from the original 44" wrinkle red setup that I outgrew to the new Series 2 72" bottom with 56" top and a 5 drawer mechanic's cart. In doing so I also organized my mess of drawers. Being that I used metric 99.9% of the time, the sort a tool with metric ratcheting wrenches stays in a drawer in the cart. All my overflow, oddball, SAE or plain old combination wrenches stay in a drawer in the 72" bottom. There's still a premium for space in a rather large drawer. I'm struggling with finding a overall pleasing solution for it all. I thought these were a good solution until seeing them layed out and the space they consume. They are visually pleasing for sure and definitely are an excellent solution for regular use stuff. Seeing them used by others though leads me to believe I am searching for something more tightly confined. If you have used something else that might fall in those lines, let me know please. By the way, I also love the Tekton stuff. I've been upgrading old C-Man stuff to Tekton because of how impressed I've been with it.

That's a beautiful tool box and drawer. I have the same box!

damn and I thought I did good getting mine for $800 + tax
In all fairness I got it for $799 and the wife had a $40 coupon so that's what brought it down to $760

Chinook word with a lot of meanings; in this context it means "best", "strong" or "quality."
