    More GearWrench Flare Nut Wrenches---BOGO

    To my understanding, the flare nut wrenches were out of stock months ago. They have them listed on the site, but will not honor the deal because they are no longer available in the promotional BOGO packaging.

    Hiball's Seller Feedback.

    Really outstanding sale. Quick communication, fast shipping. Item quality as described, great packing for shipment. So good I'd buy from Hiball before an online vender if he had it. :D

    Looking for new welding helmet

    I have a speedglass 100V, I like it. However, if I were using it a couple hours a day, I'd buy a higher end speedglass helmet. The headgear on the 100V *****. Im pretty happy with the autodark system on it though, its works well for what I need it to.

    Looking for a 1/4" impact socket set w/case

    I have that Gearwrench master set, love it. Really great set for the money. Amazon will be the cheapest you will find it. I'd go for that sunex set if you weren't going for swivels, or the gearwrench set if you wanted swivels. I cant tell you if you'll need swivels or not. Both are taiwain, I...

    Dealing with unsatisfactory ebay purchases

    Apparently Im just a tool collector. :dunno: Thats some of the rust/grime Im talking about. For the most part, I dont really care about the minor chipping/imperfections on the outside of the chrome, except for the gouges where I could have taken a hammer and chisel and done less damage. This...

    Dealing with unsatisfactory ebay purchases

    So recently I bought a couple sets of blackhawk 1/2dr sockets from ebay, and Im not happy at all with the products I received. Im not really sure how to handle it. I could of course return it, but I dont feel that I should be responsible for paying $10-15 in return shipping for items that I feel...

    Impact Socket Set Less Than $50?

    So your going from $50 to tool truck prices? thats a pretty big jump. HF stuff is gonna be cheapest, I dont have any to evaluate. HF seems to be hit or miss on quality from what Ive heard. Sunex or Grey Pneumatic are great reasonably priced sets. And quality will be much, much more consistent...

    Why Craftsman is dying...or is dead

    I hope al qaeda breaks into his house, finds his stash of craftsman tools, and then uses them to provide him with a slow and painful death and dismemberment and then posts the video on the internet.

    Wilde Wednesday: Supporting a USA Company With Good Values

    I was kinda opposed to this, because I know Im going to end up emptying my wallet on this regardless of whether or not I can afford to right now. :dunno: Have we figured out a way to work out mass custom orders with Epsteins? Im assuming quite a few of us are going to be interested in Wilde...

    Gearwrench ratchet and wrench sets

    For ratcheting wrenches, your going to have to buy individual sets to get the most complete sets they offer. For the ratchets 81206 is the part number. This is for 60 tooth ratchets. 81206F is for an 84 tooth set. 81206P is for the 120xp set. This trend of number(60tooth), number+F(84tooth)...

    need 1 breaker bar

    1/2 drive 18" 3/8 is too small, you can always adapt down. 18" is just right, 24" can be to long sometimes. You can always put a cheater bar on an 18" to make it longer, but you wouldnt want to cut the knurled handle off a 24" to make it shorter. Also, I've recently picked up a 18" 3/4 drive...
