Update- Re: Giving back to the community: Amazing CL Deal You guys won't believe this: damn thing sold for under $3k

Broke down and bought a new one when on the truck last week....

Many thanks, exactly what I needed to know. Saving my pennies now....

looks like I just posted a similar question ... what did you choose?

Time for a decent air saw, don't mind spending the $$ if worth it. It's clear that the HF one is **** ... so the cheapo option is out.. Looks like there are three strong contenders: IR 529 SnapOn PTS1000 Chicago Pneumatic CP7901 The SnapOn one is 2x the cost of the others, so I'd really like...

Bump!

OK, one of my wrenches went walking, so before I go find a tool truck and spend $400 ($30 for the wrench and $370 for other stuff I HAVE TO HAVE) I was hoping one of you guys have one. Ebay is too frustrating. PM me pls with price shipped.

OK, this is killing me: (NOT MINE) http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/tls/4483241277.html I bought the same kit without the stainless tool box last month. SOMEBODY BUY THIS!! Can't tell you how much I want to go grab this up, but it would be pointless. Better one of you guys get the chance...

I have the old, hard-handled snap on set for well over 20 years and they are going strong, and have a new set of the soft handled ones. They're nice, but not my go to because my Uncle (a former Matco driver) gave me a set of their screwdrivers that have the fuzzy stuff on them (you know, the...

Whoa! I've had two great finds this month but not a whole box! Those impact sockets alone are worth $1k!!

FIRST BUMP, and discounted everything. Also, $825 and split shipping for it all!! (who do you know who does TWO cool things at once?!)

Kinda like this. It has been a good month in tools for me. I have never been luckier in my life when it comes to 1. what I need 2. right price 3. I had money! (it's that third one that always gets me!!)

Ya know, when I did make my living with my tools one of the nicest part of the day was cleaning / organizing my box. Even though the stuff we'd work on wasn't glamorous it was a point of pride to be able to go to my toolbox and take out, first try, the exact tool for the job. Now that my son...

Sorry guys, missed all the turmoil paying for my tools (damn work!) Let me take these one by one: 1. I paid for alliance because I love this freakin' site. $50? NP. Go buy some internets on me, k? 2. 100 post limit - after i paid my $ I discovered the 100 post limit is waived. Makes sense...

Update: actually had to use the two of the metric impacts today and I have to say the difference in fit and feel from cheaper impacts makes a difference. Engagement was more solid, zero walking off during driving, and all in all superior tool. Is this worth it for everyone? Meh. If you can...
