Thank you for posting this! I had just ordered a 750 di through Home Depot for in store delivery and they price matched this amazon price. You saved me a few bucks :beer:

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my old $50 4" big box store vise with something larger and sturdier. I read through a bunch of older threads, and the advice from those in the know was always to buy an older used US made vise. I'm sure that's true, but I don't have the time nor inclination to...

10” knipex pliers here

As has been said many times, Pittsburgh Pro ratchets and sockets are great (I've been meaning to post a side by side pic of tekton/gearwrench/pittsburgh pro sockets, they really are great for the money). I've found the 3/8 locking socket extensions to be great also. I read here about the...

Thanks for the heads up Chip! Just used it.

Re: Craftsman "ultimate" socket set or gearwrench master 1/4" and 3/8" sets? Not sure where everyone's getting the coo or the price on the gearwrench sets from. I just ordered the 3/8 and 1/4 metric/sae combo with the 120 tooth ratchets for $103. Arrived quickly with free shipping and has...

Went to pick up my $17 Craftsman 50 ft hoses (additional 10% of the $19.99 sale price!) and found the Craftsman/Knipex pliers set on sale for $35. FYI, anyone looking for cheap but rebranded Knipex, they're back on sale.

Craftsman 69602 5/8" x 50' All-Rubber Garden Hose - $17.99 at Sears. Get free in-store pickup or free shipping on $49+ http://www.sears.com/craftsman-all-r...61116_11042411 Thanks Peter! I was going to buy these tomorrow and you just saved me 50%!

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd just tag on to the most recent GJ thread on the issue. I recently gave up on my big box brand ratcheting screwdriver. Based on recommendations here I grabbed a Williams unit - great recommendation, thanks gents! Next I went looking for a bit set...

Hi All. Earlier this year I decided it was time to upgrade my tool collection. What I had was a hodgepodge of incomplete sets and very poor quality, beat up items. So, I came upon this site and started reading. A lot. And, based largely on recommendations found here (and the ability to play...

Thank you all for the great advice! I appreciate you guys taking the time to offer some direction. I'd love to get one of the pro sets some of you mention but it's just not in my price range (at least, not if I want to fill out the rest of my tool plan). I ended up fondling the Gearwrench...

Just seeing this - I own an older model of the Troybilt you were considering and replaced it with the exact 3300 psi Simpson model you ended up buying. You made a great choice! I've been doing a ton of driveway and paver deck work with mine and it's been great. If you're doing driveways you...

Hi all, I'm looking for some help selecting a new socket set for the house. Use will be repairs around the house, general tinkering, light automotive, and general hobby use. I've read older posts here and find myself in the "in between" budget area - I'd like something better quality than big...
