    The Unofficial Vise Parts Swap Thread.

    I need at least one, but preferably two, jaw pads for a Columbian D45 M3. Thought it would be an easy find, but I'm not having a ton of luck.

    Columbian D45 M3 replacement vise jaw pads

    I just picked on of these up from an estate sale, and one of the jaw pads is broken and half gone. Screws are rough, but I was able to get them out. Any of you guys know where I can find replacement pads and screws that fit, and don't cost an arm and a leg? I didn't think it would be hard to...

    Man, I bought so many bit sets AFTER black friday last year getting all the leftover deals. I was trying to give two to my dad, and he was resisting. I showed him the stack I'd accumulated, and he said "ohh, ok,thanks!".

    SK Tools Free hat and catalog!

    Got mine today as well. I'm impressed. Bonus that the hat is actually nice and I'll wear it unlike most promo hats. The stubby was a good gesture as well.

    I bought both the SAE and the Metric sets yesterday. I'm glad I waited for a deal on reversible wrenches.

    How do you leave a crescent wrench?

    I just checked mine in my tool box, all are about a half inch open. That's probably how they came. I don't use them, and I don't know when or what I will use them for in the future. Maybe to bend small brackets in a pinch. I have a Chinese pair in the car with a big gaudy plastic handle that...

    Lowes vs. Home Depot?

    Home Depot probably has the same policy. Most corporate stores have that policy. They don't want to be sued if the employee is hurt, or if the employee hurts the alleged criminal. When I was leaving work for the day at a large retail store when I was 19, a kid ran out the door with 3...

    Advance Auto $50 off $100

    I got 50 off on my first order, then 40 off on my second. Works out nicely, because I was planning on ordering shocks anyway and it's hard to beat $90 off with no need for rebates or anything.

    Using Harbor Freight 20% Coupon @ Home Depot

    I used a 20% coupon a few days ago on a Milwaukee m18 high torque 1/2" impact. Cashier went and asked a manager, but no real fuss. It kind of shocked me, I fully expected to have to sweet talk my way into it.
