    Flare end wrenches

    You can regularly find the Snap-on metric wrenches on eBay (like new) for around $100 a set. Hard to beat that. Case in point: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Snap-On-Wrench-Flare-Nut-Line-Wrench-Set-RXFMS-Metric-9-21-Excellent/184067473876?hash=item2adb46c1d4:g:WfsAAOSw-zxd5XtU I have no...

    I need a new jack... Yes or no?

    Au contraire. You would be surprised what people sell expensive items for thinking they are damaged, when it’s a simple fix. It pays to do your research.

    I need a new jack... Yes or no?

    Here's your old, unknown history rust bucket before and after. Sometimes all you need is a little vision. That being said if it's not a Walker/Lincoln I would not spend the time to fix it up.

    Underwhelmed by 2019 Black Friday Tool Sales?

    The whole concept of Black Friday is for sheep. There's far better deals to be had all year long if you know where to look and pay attention.

    HW 2-ton jack review (new production)

    It's usually in the rear casters. You can shim them on the bottom with a machine washer of about 1/16", and that solves the front wheels not being on the ground at the same time.

    HW 2-ton jack review (new production)

    About a year ago I decided I needed to replace the floor jack I sold when I moved across country. I was looking at a used Snap-on FJ300 for around $250 on Craigslist, and the new Daytona yellow jacks. Neither one really impressed me, and the more I read about either of them, the more I...

    decent quality impact sockets for a decent price

    I would recommend the Sunex as well for an inexpensive set. They seem fairly soft, and any hammering starts to round out the drive end pretty quick. On some of the larger sockets I have to hit the bottom with a file every use so it doesn't tear my drawer liners. They are very tight fitting...
