    Quality of Husky Tools from Home Depot

    I have a set of rubber handle screwdrivers as a sort of "beater" set, but I don't seem to be able to trash them although I do my best. Also have a set of metric flex-head combo wrenches that has been just fine. Just fine forever? Can't say, but I'm satisfied for what I paid. Oh yeah...have...

    Amazon hand tool recommendations

    I wouldn't assemble a diving bell or a space shuttle with these, but Suercup and Suzme torque wrenches have served me pretty well for the stuff that I have used them on. Can't speak to durability, but accuracy holds up to my pricier ones...so far .

    Basic/economic not fancy rolling tool cabinet??

    I've had a Husky for...I'm gonna say...16 years now. It's been absolutely fine. The only thing I did was cut a plywood top for it...still works as new.

    Legit tool reviews

    Reviews can really only do so much. I like having an idea of specs, weak mechanisms, pitfalls and things that might get in the way, but mostly when I buy a tool, I want it to feel good and balanced in my hands and nobody can really evaluate that but me. Even durability short of a known issue...

    Titan 1/4-3/8" Stubby Rachet...Decent?

    Yeah...figured as much...thanks for that. I noticed that the pall isn't accessible cover (looks riveted), so it's basically disposable.

    Titan 1/4-3/8" Stubby Rachet...Decent?

    I'm looking at the black and yellow rubberize handle one. There's a flex-head and a regular and they are quite inexpensive. Question is...are they inexpensive a solid or just cheap and garbage. There are some really nice ones like Hazet, but obviously not for 20 bux. Thanks all!

    Drilling and mounting to Concrete ?

    Well...I learned a lot...thank you! First, the drill...user error. I had it on the wrong torque/ speed setting. Switched that and it went right in. Tapcons...love 'em or hate 'em...for this job they worked. I just used a shorter size. All mounted and holding the saw nicely. Thanks again everyone!

    Drilling and mounting to Concrete ?

    Yes...two separate holes about a foot apart...both dead ended for the drill.

    Drilling and mounting to Concrete ?

    Seemed a clean hole, and I just popped an impact socket on the drill. I didn't think I was drilling too fast but maybe I was.

    Drilling and mounting to Concrete ?

    I guess I was using the equivalent to the screws provided. It's a saw holder (cap. 45lbs) ...not blades.

    Drilling and mounting to Concrete ?

    Hey All, I went to mount a circular saw holder to a concrete wall in our garage/basement. I needed to sink some 3/16" screws. Today I got some Tapcons, my 18v hammer drill (it's a Rigid) and a 5/32" masonry bit. I needed to go 2 1/4" deep but couldn't get much deeper than about 1 3/4"...

    Is the Den of Tools a shill?

    I know I do! Unfortunately...I'm born into the wrong species on the wrong planet.

    Is the Den of Tools a shill?

    Rolling Mechanic/Garage Chair?

    Okay...got it...built it (no instructions BTW...thanks Vevor), and used it. It's fine. I like that it has five wheels and so it's very stable...no tip...period. I like that it gets low and the mechanism is smooth. The seat is padded and comfortable for longer periods of time. I like the...
