    Broken and stuck socket adapter inside impact driver

    Hit the leftover piece with an automatic center punch to “free” if, then hold the retainer and tap it out. I’ve done this like 3-4 times before I bought the right impact.

    Milwaukee rotary tool fail.

    Just wanted to share my experience with others... This thing is JUNK. Used it on one project, very light use, maybe 5-10 minutes. Now it won’t turn on. It does the thing where it flashes all 4 battery indicator lights, and refuses to turn on. You can cheat it by leaving it on, and...

    Tekton USA crowfoot wrenches

    Too expensive for a “budget oriented” tool brand. Won’t hold resale value.

    extra sockets

    Those sockets have been by your side, when times are good or bad, but you absolutely have to ditch them right now during a pandemic? I’d say get together with other like minded people and pile together to make cheap sets that can be put in zipper bags and put in a vehicle, or a secondary/...

    Battery Powered Jack - dumb idea?

    Battery powered jacks are only realistic in racing, where a clean job of prepping the car includes making sure the battery is topped off, and then carrying an extra just in case. You can talk all you want about modern LION batteries being able to hold a charge for years, blah blah blah. It’s...

    Hitachi Drill gripe

    Hitachi is better suited to making “back massagers”, what makes you think they were a good power tool mfg? That garbage with the charger? Yeah that’s confirmation you bought the wrong grade stuff. Only wifey grade power tools do that ****. Are you a wifey? Buy it once, buy it right. Budget...

    Milwaukee M18 compressor 2 gallon

    They’re marking it towards someone who wants a cordless air compressor, it just so happens that small nail guns are the weakest thing you can advertise it as, other than saying “yeah this will **** for 90% of your use, but you may be able to use it as... I wouldn’t mind having one for in the...

    Husky 144 tooth ratchets?

    Who uses a 90t ratchet, and thinks, wow, “I need it to be TWICE AS FINE. That’ll help”? A *****, that’s who this is marketed at. Someone with enough of a clue to know more teeth on a ratchet is better. While being stupid enough to not realize why more teeth is better, and can’t understand...

    Made in USA Tool Box?

    I was curious so I checked out the new Tekton stuff... yeah no thanks. I could get 2 week old nicer used truck box’s for that... I appreciate the effort... but the numbers don’t line up.

    Just a brass bar?

    I have one of these in In my box made of steel, aluminum, and brass. I use them for dislodging pinion gears in differentials, amongst other things. The size makes it easier to hold onto while striking it with a 5lbs sledge.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    It’s funny how in harbor freight threads, much like political debate... both sides are using the same old as dirt arguments... you pro-HF guys owe royalties to whomever originally posted that “life hack”.
