Looking into selling some stuff because I have been eyeing an everlast powertig 255ext. Just curious if anyone has some experience with said machine or have suggestions of another welder in the same price range that's a high frequency ac/dc tig rated a minimum of 200 amps and stick welding...

I use my flf80a more than I use my f80 Their ratchets are great... out performed the armstrong, matco, harbor freight, craftsman, sk, husky, kobalt, and proto ones I've used through the years

Sears advertises a 50% off student discount for a mechanic set... if you can afford to cough up $1800 for a set, might as well as get a much as you can. As it has been said before don't buy a new box, buy used off craigslist or even the harbor 5 drawer service cart with/or the 44" box. Apart...

At sears today and saw craftsman adjustable pliers that are made in Germany that resemble the knipex cobra's. Anyone care to share input?

Stuff I've seen on social media

I've broken several armstrong ratchets, cracked sockets, broken their breaker bar, and their wrenches either flex causing the bolt heads to round or my more humorous experience I cracked the edge off one of the wrenches. Sadly craftsman and gearwrench offer better quality than armstrong. Ever...

Really tempted to grab a tablet for tuning (megasquirt, hp tuners, etc), scan tool, and looking at technician manuals/wiring schematics... Figure it's safer/more portable with an Otter-box than me abusing a laptop all the time (current MacBook pro is all dinged up and the cd/DVD drive stopped...

I tried to warranty a tool box from them that I had for a year amd kept inside that had surface rust... was informed they don't cover rust.

Real question is when will milwaukee offer different color options? I want orange... even if it means having to buy just a cases separate from the cordless stuff

Becoming a big fan of snap-on orange stuff... keep eyeing the orange air hammer that's on the truck for the past two months, maybe one day I will finally grab it.

Grabbed a blue point filter socket set #OFC14KT, Metric hex socket set #211EFAMY, and a 3/8" drive air ratchet #PTR72O today... I've become partial towards orange

In the market now for a new air ratchet, die grinder, and air hammer and would appreciate any suggestions. Ive read some of the archives on previous threads/topics but most of the posts I found are dealing with discontinued models. I was tempted to walk off the SO truck with their far2500skts...

The 1/2 compact impact gun and the 3/8 air ratchet are tempting... I am in the market for an air ratchet and die grinder currently as well. As far as the high rating they have on the new 1/2 impact gun, might as well as use a 3/4 one. Honestly I question their ratings though, probably just...

Got a new work light... kept breaking the cheap craftsman ones and grabbed this off the truck today
