    DeWalt Stealthsonic wet/dry vac is legit - but how do you store accessories?

    Is it powerful enough? Like would it **** stones and gravel and dirt up a 4' sono tube?

    The yard / gardening hand tools - thread.

    When portable vehicle tool kits help others...

    When I had my Land Rover Disco II, I had all the off-road kit - winch, tow hitch, straps, etc. And my way home from work was several miles of pokey narrow road next to a canal. It was humped in the middle, and when it snowed there would always be some stuck car that slid off into the side. Not...

    I got this today from Amazon - $15. The problem I had was I'd grab my DeWalt Atomic drill and sometimes I need to use a bit that isn't quick release, so I'd have to go back and get my other drill which has a chuck. The adapter here I think will be quite useful.

    U.S.A. made vs German made

    If you buy USA, German or Japan, you know its good and it will only hurt you once, when you pay. China and Taiwan - you often don't know.

    Socket construction

    It looks like some sockets have a pressed in ring / collar and some are just cut from a single piece. Am I seeing this right? There are often little cracks on the pressed-in part, especially in cheaper sockets. Anyone know about this feature? The pic is a Husky at top and a more expensive...
