    Recommend a laser level for drop ceiling installation

    Mine came from Amazon it's called IKOVWUK - I don't know how they come up with those brands, but i'm sure you could buy the same one with several names on it. It's a green laser 3 line beam. I looked at the Bosch 3 beam before I bought mine. I just looked it up and the Bosch 3 line lasers...

    Recommend a laser level for drop ceiling installation

    I bought one of these three line green laser levels a few years ago - not this exact model - I think I paid $79, and it has been awesome. I've used it for a ton of projects, including checking the level on floors in my house, leveling pictures, leveling siding as it was installed and many...

    Just confirming other’s experiences, Wright no longer has a meaningful Warranty for their tools.

    OK, let's take this line by line. Clearly not true - here's what I read: Since 1927, the Wright Tool Company has manufactured top quality hand tools. The use of Wright alloy steel, precision heat treating and advanced manufacturing techniques results in products of long life, durability and...

    Just confirming other’s experiences, Wright no longer has a meaningful Warranty for their tools.

    I just can't understand the need to denigrate an entire company over a broken tool, and a stupid warranty. I have wright tools that are some of my favorites. I could care less if they don't have a warranty on them. My wrenches certainly haven't needed it under some pretty tough use. And i...

    Shop Safety Supplies - Professional PPE Megathread, Reference, FAQ 🧯🥽⛑️👩‍🔬🦺

    The one thing I would recommend every shop and every work truck have on hand is some CELOX clot powder. This is the stuff they use on battlefields to stop the bleeding of wounds. It's not hard to cut yourself bad in the garage or in the shop. I busted my head open by banging it into my lift...

    What would everyone choose for a pry bar set if you were to buy new?

    Seems that Wilde, Mayhew and Snap on are the choices of this group in that order from cheapest to most expensive. I've used all three and I would agree with that arrangement. They all work. I've got a 5 foot Mayhew Dominator that we used as a tow point to pull the ram out of a large...

    Another merger: Makita buys Panasonic’s Power Tools division.

    I have some panasonic cordless tools. They invented the brushless drill and the impactor I believe. At one time they were the best, but I think most everyone caught up by now. .

    A bit disappointed with Vessel

    The first sentence is correct - there is nothing wrong with asking, other than it wastes your time too to ask for service on a $2 item. But I believe it's wrong to think a company which correctly says "we're not set up to handle this type of request, but we offer something else" is one you...

    A bit disappointed with Vessel

    You can have a different opinion, and that's fine, but I do not feel bad for saying it. A $50 loss on that bit, would negate the profit on $300 worth of stuff. Good will is fine, but it will put you out of business in a minute if that's what your employees spend their time on. I feel for...

    Loyal customers understand how and want you to make money. Customers who don't understand it or don't follow it are customers you do not need.

    A bit disappointed with Vessel

    That's fine because it's sold at retail. They are not selling a single 20 pack they are selling them by the caseload. The entire set costs $45 on Amazon. It's not worth the time it takes to write or respond to an email.

    A bit disappointed with Vessel

    Do you guys realize that for a decent sized company to transact anything it probably costs upwards of $50 - maybe 2-3X that amount? They absolutely should not sell a single piece from that set. It literally puts them out of business to do so. That's why you need to go to a retailer and find...

    Tire Plug kits

    quoting my own from last summer. I said I had never had a tire plug fail - which was true, but apparently it happened sometime in the last six months. I was visiting my friend John last fall, and he had a nail in a tire on his pickup, which I plugged with one of my safety seal plugs, and...

    Mobil Delvac 1300 15w-40 Diesel Oil 5 Gallon Bucket Walmart $69.00

    Delvac 1300 is conventional oil, not synthetic. Delvac 1 is one of the best synthetic oils you can buy. But this is not it. I think this is described incorrectly.
