Saw a snap-on set similar to that today. The guy had it listed as a jack I believe. $100

For several years I was buying Irish Setter moose horn GT mid boots from bass pro. No break in, lighter than full on work boots and all day comfort. I have worn justin boots that fit like a glove but lacked support. Until the moose horn gt was replaced by a similar model I was buying a pair a...

I bought the Bosch radio when it first came out. At that time it had a CD player and was advertised to not skip a beat after being kicked down a flight of stairs...... That's the first thing I did with it, no problems. The newer Bosch model has a protective area for mp3/ipod/cell phone...

I have a similar setup for an off road bag. I am using an apple computer neoprene laptop case from the 80s when a laptop weighed 80lbs. Mine is set up with: folding military shovel, ****** strap/rope, chain, clevis, gloves, old timer folding pocket knife, a folding hunting saw with multiple...

A bit ironic given your misuse of "sense", lear(n), and misspelling of victoms (victims). It took me a lot of work to override spell check whilst typing this. Hijack over

I just moved out of fl, but in Orlando we had a place called skycraft that sold anything under the sun mechanical / electronic / robotic / surplus . They have a website that might be worth checking out. They always have old power supply / radar / military / medical items. Other than that, would...

The Lowes customer service rep on the phone tried to tell me that with them being a year old or so, that that makes the item used/normal wear. I guess we are getting to the point in this country where people selling Chinese junk tools tend to forget that there is anything more in this world than...

Lowes manager told me that beyond 30 days, item will need to be sent to knipex. Most receipts I have are now bleached white. Anyone had any luck?

I was at my local flea market today and noticed one of the sellers had bins and bins of tools. It seems to be everything that home depot clearances down to a penny, sears discontinued, and return to vendor items, etc. There were power tools, bags, and some hand tools among other things. I was...

Most of them are, one craftsman USA, and one s-k USA. I have a really nice set of smaller bonney saltus wrenches that I really like. I know these aren't close in quality, but for $10, I thought it was worth it until I find an upgrade.

Wanted the saltus wrenches even though they aren't USA as the options are limited these days. 2 plvmb wrenches in bad shape, some matco, williams, bluepoint, and snap on. Craftsman as well.

I framed houses but we didn't use stick nailers. Hitachi nv83a2 I believe. The benefit was that the coil rolls hold more nails. The versatility to be able to shoot .131 framers at 3 inches all the way down to 1.25 by 0.99 case hardened nails for nailing furring to concrete made a big deal to us...

I have a 400 and a 600, and for most things the 400 is just as good. I don't really like the new blades they have changed to, the tip gets dull quicker due to the shape, or, lack there of.

Not sure anymore about coo but I have been very happy with my Gerber 600 multi tool. Many leather man guys are not into gerbers and it may be a personal preference. I bought a wave and after a few weeks of carry the tools got tough to deploy. The thing I love about the gerbers I have had is...

Can you post a pic of the ratchets you are talking about? The craftsman.
