Hi all, Anyone see any better deals for the M12 grease gun than the $169.00 option at HD with the one battery pack? I know it was cheaper over Veterans Day weekend but missed out on that deal. Any deals on the new gen battery packs? Not that I really need them but would give them a try if a...

Thanks all for the replies thus far, for clarification I was referring to some equivalents to the actual bit sets they sell. One has part/model number 628 which contains a 1/32, 3/64, 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64 and 1/8 bit. The other is set 631 which is a small brad point bit set and contains a...

Wondering if there are any alternatives to the Dremel branded drill bits available, have a small project where the Dremel will be key. Bonus if there are any other options that are also US made. Thanks in advance!

Thanks all for the replies, looks like I need to pick one up. Hoping to see if I get some reduced pricing with black friday coming up.

Looking for feedback on this tool, good or bad.... Got some upcoming work in the basement that will require drilling into concrete block walls and I am invested in the M12 line already. To me this tool seems like it would help me out getting things done. Thanks in advance!

With what I pick I want quality and durability. Added bonus would be US made and am not opposed to used if it gets me all of that. I guess I want to make sure I am not missing anything that would be more specialized versus some hammers, sockets, wrenches etc

So with my recent marriage, I have become caretaker/mechanic to 4 old cars on my in-laws hobby farm. They are in varying stages of condition at the moment but my wife and my in-laws desire is to get them back on the road and enjoy them given their history in the family. I am more than happy to...

Eyeing a portable Onan McGraw Edison generator at a future estate sale. Not sure if it runs at the moment but it is very clean looking so it may not have had much use. Appears the model is a K3500. Wondering about the following: - Overall quality of these generators? - Basic parts availability...

Thanks for the replies thus far, I had a brain fart about the model. It is a 9310.

Anybody ever try or have an idea if evapo-rust would be effective to remove a couple small rust spots on a large tool box, or is it only effective if the item is completely immersed in it?

I recently purchased a like new 90's era Skil angle grinder. Upon closer exam, it appears it is in like new condition as there is a crack in the guard. The usual online parts sources are a no-go so I am wondering if the group knows of some out of the way or hole in the wall places that may have...

Due to work, I was only able to hit 3 HD stores here in the St. Paul/Mpls area by yesterday and struck out at all 3. Was hoping to score some Redlithium 2.0 batteries oh well.

Been trying to figure out a way to get a better price on the 12V Fuel combo kit, 2597-22. It has been marked down to $179 already due to BF but I can't seem to get one of these discounts, any advice or am I just needing to bite the bullet and use the $5 off HDHOLIDAY code. Thanks in advance for...

My order finally arrived to my surprise (via USPS) last Sunday. I don't have photos with me but there are some issues with some of the open stock sockets I ordered. To me, some of these issues are the same as pre-Ideal SK so I am disappointed about that a little bit and not sure what to make...

Still waiting for my order, latest update from Steve was earlier this week, doesn't look like SK is giving HJE any time estimates anymore.
