    New slab is already cracking- am I too picky?

    the slab has cracked exactly where it's suppose to with that system (i believe called zip-strip..) I've had my slab for close to 3 years now and haven't seen any new cracks form or have the cracks getting any bigger over the zip strips. Come coating time, like others have said, a little epoxy...

    Need to spend $500 at Sears. What do I buy?

    I was just in our (Canadian) Sears the other week and it was a little depressing with what they had to offer in the tool department. I normally only shop there for appliances basically as they are one of the only places that has all the models on display to look at prior to ordering. we've...

    am I asking a fair price

    This is a perfect example of why it's so hard to get a realistic price on used items - everybody thinks "their" stuff is worth 100% of brand new.. 10 years old? Heavily used to the point where it needed many belts and TWO motor re-builds? That's not even a 50% piece of equipment...that's...

    Door Reps Sliding door wall mini blinds question?

    Try sliding the handle all along the track - on ours, the magnet goes to the top and it just re-connects when the handle is overtop of the magnet... Somewhere along the track you should be able to re-pick up the magnet.

    question for my fellow Canadians

    but not the raised panel wrenches, they don't feel right in my hand. haven't used much for craftsman other than that Check out the mastercraft maximum wrenches when they're on sale - nice smooth rounded handles with the full chrome treatment. Tough to beat for the price tag.

    question for my fellow Canadians

    Generally due to the pricing I use mainly Mastercraft (Maximum) when available. I do like the Craftsman screwdrivers though as the handles can really take a beating. No problems with warranty at either place - they've replaced the item with a new one off the shelf each time.

    For The Canadians Out There

    I personally haven't had a problem with any of the Maximum stuff.. The Stanely tools look o.k.. but... I wonder if you can exchange them right in the store for another, or do you need to send them away?

    Mastercraft Tool Chest going on sale

    No time like the present to make my first post... I have the Mastercraft Maximum 26" bottom cabinet in Stainless Steel and the thing is beautiful - drawer slides are rock solid with a easy feeling to them, and overall construction hasn't been an issue whatsoever. I like your thinking, got it...
