    Tool "stores" to visit in Austin (for Canadians)

    We also have a Rockler store in addition to the previously mentioned Woodcraft. Other that that and the HF and Northern tool...pretty much nothing.

    How do you like your compressor?

    Love my Saylor Beall...when it starts running it gives me a big grin it sounds so good.

    Couple Vessel ball grip screwdrivers. Really love the feel of the ball grip in my hand - especially the larger one.

    Grizzly jointer help!

    I've had both a 6" and a 8" long bed jointer. As far as upgrading from a standard 6" I find length more important than width. The 8" I had (a Grizzly) was so long though it was impractical for my 2-car garage shop so it had to eventually go. You should really ask yourself what you need it for...

    Koken or Williams USA

    The size markings on the Williams are really small IMO...otherwise the sets I got are great quality at a great price.

    Garage floor Covering ideas

    Is that RaceDeck stuff fireproof? How does it hold up against weld spatter?

    Hyped Up Tools That Disappointed You

    Interesting...I recently received 2 full sets. 1 in chrome - everything was perfect, impeccable finish, quality, etc. The other set was in satin and 2 of the box ends are off center...1 so much so that I want to get it replaced. I had never read of any complaints on these until I saw your post.

    The chrome is great, and in fact appears to have a better fit/finish than the matte. One of my satin has a closed end off center (significantly so IMO) - I plan on calling and getting them to replace it later this week.
