I've had a barrel grip Bosch for about 35 years. Never a failure, and it works like new. That would be my choice

I have a corded Bosch that has servedme well for well over 30 years.

Any time I see Petersen/DeWitt vise grips, I grab them. Wife tells me I have enough, but in her travels, she still picks them up for me, when I am at work

SBD knows how to make quality tools. The folks running the company are not stupid. After spending mountains of money to buy the "Craftsman" name, I remain hopeful that the new USA made tools will be far better quality than the kid's stuff made overseas with poor quality steel. I remain...

Looks good..... I may steal some of your ideas, as my boxes are getting to look a little cluttered. At the same time, my lovely wife tells me that I ave enough tools. She doesn't understand

I have a Greenworks GPW1803. It's a little 110 volt unit that does a fine job cleaning bbq grill, the deck after pet accidents, and the house. It was under $100 at Lowes. Sadly, it's a Chinese import.

I have some Wright "Tootsie Roll" ratchets which I bought new in the 70s, worked hard, never a failure, made in USA

As I continue to unpack tools that came from my dad's estate, I came across a n SK 45175 3/8" Drive Ratchet that wouldn't ratchet. I remember using this tool as a kid, nearly 50 years ago. Of course, I took it apart and cleaned it. After reassembling it, it still skipped. On the odd chance...

This is a terrible loss. I have many tools made by WF, most sold under the CM brand. They have all preformed well

+1 here, they work as advertised

In my opinion, there are several ways to sell thm, none of them are without drawbacks. 1.) Consign them to a local auction company. They will sort and segregate. as they work on commission, they have an incentive to get the highest price 2.) Ebay. You do all of the work, After listing fees...

I recently installed Rain-X Laditude wiper blades on the Jeep. Amazing the difference, I also popped for the Rain-X windshield juice. I'm impressed.

This is my "go to" lube for ratchets, regardless of tooth count
