    Top 10 HF tools

    The professional impacts sockets and the Earthquake line of impacts are top notch. My 1/2 earthquake outperformed a IR and a Matco impact, which is just an Ingersoll Rand with Matco painted on it anyway. Ripped the lugs off a F650 faster than the others. I paid 69.99 with a coupon, not bad I'd...

    Napa tools 70% off

    Napa is having a sale on their tools 70% off, at least where I go. Most of their stuff is Taiwan or American made; on par with Blue-point, Gearwrench. I really like the swivel sockets I got for under $20. Compare these to Matco's, the only truck that stops by my job, for $325 or so. Off subject...

    Tool I want...but don't know the name?

    Walmart $5. Used to save settings on the radio and such when you disconnect the battery. Does not work on some models.

    Did I get my money's worth?

    Nope, you have to cut it so that it will cut wood, then cut that so it will cut plastic, then cut that so it will drill, then use it to make your dining room table level, then maybe you would have gotten your money worth.

    Help figuring out what something is.

    I can guarantee it is a whatchamacallit. Whatchamacallits have been around since the days before camera phones. Whatchamacallits are generally used to work with "things" with youknowwho, and whatshisface.

    Favorite ratchet grease/oil?

    A banned member who posted over 14,000 times. I guess he was too vocal about his love for American tools; too bad I could have argued with him for days on end. He probably is still a member under another name. I have been trying to expose him for awhile.

    snap on flank drive sockets

    Sometimes drinking coolaid can give you diabetes. If the price is "killing you," you should not be buying them. They are one of the most recognized brands, but all the sockets I have seen made nowadays, including Pittsburgh(HF), have the "Flank-drive" design. Unless you are a full time wrencher...

    Check out how much the snap-on execs make

    You have better self control than most, but others are trying to get "the American dream" and being taken advantage of. If I supply drugs to drug addicts, I suppose it is there fault for "ordering" the drugs.

    Check out how much the snap-on execs make

    You are highly over exaggerating, it is only about 4 1/2 mill.

    Check out how much the snap-on execs make

    At the hard working mans expense. You have obviously never seen there boxes being repo'd after the guy got laid off. You have obviously never seen somebody ruin there credit(which affects potential jobs) because they couldn't afford to pay the Snap On truck off. Good for the bankers, good for...

    crafty chinese pro wrenches

    I bought the Line Wrenches from Craftsman several years ago thinking, (well not giving a ****), assuming, they were made in U.S. I look at quality of things to make sure they will last a lifetime. I know that they are different type of wrenches, but the Chines made Line wrenches feel, and look...

    Anyone have feedback from snapon since..

    Honestly, Im bitching not to change what Snap On is doing, but more so to enlighten the people that don't know about the situation. There is nothing I want more than to see companies, like Snap On, lose thousand of potential customers because of my "bitching." All the dealers here already don't...

    Do you segregate your China tools from your real ones?

    Next thing you know, we will be burning Chinese made tools in large rallies, praising the people blaming the Chinese, while the rest of the world looks in disgust. America is in a place it put itself in. How many idiots do you know who purchased a house, boat, multiple cars, then lost it all...
