    Renting a Wood Chipper

    Well I’ve had the opposite experience from most of the other comments. I’ve rented a 7 and a 9 last year with a few neighbors splitting the cost for the day. The 9 was much more powerful and ate up branches with very little work. The 7 inch need to be a perfectly round 6 inch or less branch to...

    Ryobi - Commercial Trades

    They definitely get laughed at on the job sites I’ve been on but I’ve seen guys do excellent work using them. I’ve also seen guys do less than perfect work using Festool. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Returning Tools?

    There's a guy in Delaware that I see posting on facebook all the time who buys boxes to resell. Not sure what he would offer you but it might be worth checking them out. I just looked them up, they're called 1st state tools.

    Help Me Choose - Tekton vs Icon

    This is the exact set I was looking at. Thanks for all the responses, I'm going Tekton since they're prime and would save me a trip to HF. I have no issues with gearwrench as I have some of their products but they only go to 19mm in their $50 set. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Help Me Choose - Tekton vs Icon

    I'm looking to purchase a 1/2" deep metric socket set. This is one area my sockets are lacking. I would like a set that covers the range of +/- 10mm to 24mm. I am focusing on Tekton and Icon at the moment. They are both around $50. I'm not looking for any tool truck brands and I don't have...

    I need a router.

    I know I'm late to the party, but I want to say I bought this in a 3 base kit in 2004 and it is my favorite router by far (I have about 7). The D handle is great. Once you realize you need a trim router, the dewalt trim with the plunge base is great too. We have the festool at work. The...
