Been there before. You're right - small but neat things. Haven't been there for a while, will head there soon. Other hit and miss places: - Former Circle M flea market on highway 5 in Flamborough - Aberfoyle Flea Market at highway 6 and the 401 - more dealers in higher end furniture but there...

Love the term Semi-fast...

Where in the GTA are you? I'm in Hamilton and always interested in new flea markets to check out.

I used to, but don't unless they are family. Last summer, I lent my chainsaw to my next door neighbour. He was doing some yard maintenance and wanted to prune some trees back. Showed him how to use it, and brought over a spare can of gas to use with it since he had a fair amount to do. I...

Our local police dept. and others in our areas have designated "trading areas" in the building or in the parking lot for this very thing.

When I've sold stuff on Kijiji (the Canadian CL equivalent), I have met the buyer in my driveway. Never had an issue. When buying on Kijiji, I have met in parking lots, driveways, garages, and again, never had an issue. Are there *really* that many people out there trying to sell items like...

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing.

What are the general thoughts of using Naval Jelly for these tasks?

Thanks for the input. SAE is fine, I drive an aging domestic so SAE is most of the car, and can use my junky metric set for some of the odd bolts and nuts.

I found this Indestro socket set in an online auction. Worth picking up? Was thinking of maybe a max bid of $20 and see where that gets me. https://bid2buy.hibid.com/lot/30059162/sockets-and-ratchets-etc/?cpage=5&ref=catalog My present setup is mostly Craftsman from the 1960s but I could use...

Thanks for doing these videos. I've subbed since there are not a lot of Canadian reviews and it's nice to hear names like Princess Auto and Canadian Tire. Good work!

My 16 year old Craftsman with a Tecumseh engine is a tank. Did a full rebuild in the summer, runs like a top. Used ones are very plentiful here in the Great White North, and if the engine ever dies, I can just swap it out with another. I'd suggest looking for a used but well maintained one...

I have a number of Gray wrenches the previous owner of our house left behind. I also have a bunch of Mastercraft-branded wrenches and sockets that are clearly made by Gray. I like them. Also picked up a 12" adjustable wrench for 4.99 at a thrift store and some other various items. Their...

Things I like to see in these videos: - Real-world use scenarios. How does it perform? What does it do well? What doesn't it do well? - Follow up videos after using a tool for a while. What is good/bad/interesting after using it past the break-in time? - Comparisons of similar tools. - An...

Fuller is still available in Canada. I have seen them as recently as a couple of weeks ago at Rona and Princess Auto. As the OP noted, they are made in China now. However, it was within the last 10 years they moved. I bought some Made in Canada Fullers from Princess Auto around 2006-8 that...
