    TopTul - USA/Canadian distributors?

    I ordered the long metric combo wrench set from Dennis, and as he stated the packaging is flimsy. They did break out of the plastic container, but so what, it did not hurt the wrenches at all. So I don't see the point of making a big deal out of it. And the satin finish on the tools is really...

    Rico, reading some of your posts is the reason I decided to try the Facom ratchet. I only used it for a short time, but I think I'm going to be very pleased with it. The adjustment is very quick and easy. One handed in fact. But it locks very solidly in the detents. It is heavier than I...

    Toptul Reviews

    I have ordered from Schmidt too. And I will agree with the others that he charges fair prices and ships very quickly. And I love all the Toptul stuff I have received I don't think you can buy better tools for the money. And I really like the satin finish, so much nicer than chrome in my opinion.

    Yetti Coolers?

    O.K. thanks for this, so keep the Arb cooler out of the sun, and the solar panel in the sun. I can do that, if the solar panels have a long cord. My Arb does have an automatic cutoff if the battery becomes too discharged. I may go to a dual battery setup in my jeep anyway, with the winch and all.

    Yetti Coolers?

    That was great advice Outlawmws, I will have to try out your tips. I do have an Arb for my jeep, and a Grizzly for the raft, that we use for extended trips. I think the Grizzly coolers are every bit as good as Yeti's. And they are made in the U.S. I have heard that a small solar panel is enough...

    Old Gal Needs Help

    I would consider a swamp cooler or evaporative cooler instead of a/c it will save a lot of money and they work well. Oh yeah, insulate.

    Evaporative Cooler tricks

    Does anyone know of a way to prop a door open a couple inches to allow the air to get out? Yet still be able to open and close the door easily. Maybe some kind of a magnet. If you have any good solutions please share them. Now we use two doorstops, but it is a pain in the ***, to move them...

    Suburban Shearing Shed

    Hey Carves, Nice to see you here on GJ. I just read your thread, I like the shed. Doesn't it get hot inside without any insulation? I thought that summer in Oz was scorching. But it probably doesn't get much hotter than here in the summer.

    Anybody wearing Redback boots??

    So where can you buy the Redback boots? I live in a small town without much selection locally. But I would like to find a dealer in Salt Lake City or nearby that I can try them on instead of ordering off ebay.

    It sounds like I may need to get a bent handle ratchet too. Thanks for the answers to my question. Now if I can find a good used one somewhere.

    I know that a lot of people have bent handle ratchets, I have never owned one. But do they get used very often?
