Just placed a couple orders myself, points have already shown up in my account. The Evolv impact sockets are also showing an additional 5,000 points (15,000 total), making them ~$5 with a small filler to get over $20. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00916887000P...

Gearwrench master socket sets with "free" ratcheting wrench set from tooldiscounter Went looking for a 80300 set to replace my old Craftsman's and noticed Tool Discounter is running a special where you get a "free" 9412 12 piece ratcheting wrench set. Not sure I need anymore of these wrenches...

I saw three variations when I picked mine up. 1. One with the snap back arbors shown on the left with the extra bit and allen on the right. The second picture in post #51. 2. One with the snap back arbors shown on the right with only the allen key shown on the left. This sounds like the set...

My local store in Burnsville, MN has all open stock Northern Industrial branded impact and chrome sockets at 50% off. Impacts and 6pt chrome sockets were Taiwan, the 12pt sockets were China. I think they also had some pliers and few wrenches still left around at 50% off, but wasn't interested...

The anchors are Powers 6312SD in 3/4", asked a similar question about the engineering a page back, still haven't seen a response. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3519633&postcount=55

Not a big fan of store brand cordless, but looks the same as the Sears Nextec versions. http://www.menards.com/main/tools-hardware/power-tools/combo-kits/masterforce-2-tool-12-volt-lithium-ion-cordless-combo-kit/p-1635421-c-9066.htm Was thinking about trying to pickup the Milwaukee M12 flavor...

Can you provide your engineering analysis similar to this http://www.maxjaxusa.com/specifications.html regarding the load placed on your anchors? Looking at the tech specs for the Powers 6312SD vs. the Wej-it PD58 used by the MaxJax with a much short lift height and lower weight rating, the...

Here's mine after trying to rebuild a BMW 2002 brake caliper. The HF version finished the job. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/96266474@N03/10957521725/" title="Lisle Torx Bit by cdtersteeg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5518/10957521725_1e63271926_b.jpg" width="1024"...

Ya, the Menards ones are not reversible. They are the cheaper flip model. http://www.menards.com/main/tools-hardware/hand-tools/wrenches/8-piece-metric-combination-ratcheting-wrench-set/p-2013412-c-9157.htm

Ya, I tried lots of wiggling and cylinder was a short as it was going to get. The issue was the hole in one of my cylinders was drilled/tapped at an angle (the other dropped in just fine). Talked to Gabe this morning and he recommended simply leaving the fitting about 45 degrees shy of the...

Got mine today, but a few QC issues prevented complete assembly. Sent GES customer service an email, hopefully I can get things worked out. Suppose I could always break out the grinder, but since this didn't come from Harbor Freight, I'm hoping I don't have to. <a...

About half a dozen red ones left at the Richfield, MN location. Hanging over by the pneumatic nailers. Anyone know of any green ones left around the Twin Cities area?

Couple of notes on setup... For anit-vibration pads I ordered these http://www.pexsupply.com/DiversiTech-MP-4E-EVA-Anti-Vibration-Pad-4-x-4-x-7-8 Great price, but shipping was a bit high (still cheaper than the same things on Amazon, eBay, and around town), so I ordered a bunch of extra pads...

Ya, price on the web didn't match the price in the store.
