    Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lift

    Sorry for the late reply. What can I say, I'm a cheap ******* and it's down the street from work. I went four separate times to save 20-25% off of all my ratchets haha.

    Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lift

    Seems the consensus is that the Chinese bike lift is up the task of lifting the half Chinese Harley. Hoping to have the room next time they hit $280.

    New deeper Husky 46" at Home Depot

    This is an unfortunate truth, I had buyers remorse when HF updated their box but I later realized I wouldn't be able to open the drawers with a vehicle there.

    Tools you thought would be **** but turned out ok

    A Stanley ratchet and socket set I got when I was young. My dad is famous for getting super cheap thoughtless Xmas gifts last minute so they must have had these at the discount store down the street. They've been in the trunk of three cars now and while I don't use them super often they're my go...

    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    Re: Side of the road tool finds My best find was a Makita sawzall in its metal box when I was riding my bike as a kid, it looked like it had flown off a truck and into the bushes on the trail near my house. My father still owns it and uses it to this day.

    The worst ratchet ever...

    They have a torx screw, some guys use a business card as a shim to tighten them back up. I just know for my needs it shouldn't get loose for years.

    Menards 36" Masterforce vs HF 44"

    If I had a Menards closer I would have gone with the Masterforce just for the deeper drawers and latches despite the price difference but I settled for a HF 44 before the series 2 came out. The sad thing is that the company that makes HF's boxes makes a really nice ball bearing latch system and...

    The worst ratchet ever...

    I'm curious if the HF and other cheaper brand flex head ratchets are getting floppy from being the first ratchet people reach for no matter the task or if it happens even if you use it as a specialty item when a regular ratchet won't fit? I just picked up a flex head 3/8 knowing it will sit in...

    The worst ratchet ever...

    I have raised panel Cman ratchets that I have dealt with for over a decade because I didn't want to pay money to replace them. In the last few weeks I got a Cman 72 tooth 50% off and a HF pro flex head 72 tooth both 3/8 and they're night and day better than my originals. I plan on replacing my...

    US PRO Toolboxes Likely To Be Replace With New Designs

    Well I guess I can kick myself now. Bought a 44 like a six weeks ago and drilled holes to mount a vise two weeks ago. Would have loved deeper drawers.

    Why do "Dealers" allways ruin "for sale sites"

    CL is the worst now, especially for cars. Dealers put in 3000 keywords so you get 100 results for the car you want and 5 are actually what you're looking for.

    US PRO Toolboxes Likely To Be Replace With New Designs

    If they go deeper with the drawers I will be selling my 44, that's the only improvement I would have made.
