    He has one of those as well, but a bit pricier.

    I never thought about trying those, but this gives me an excuse to keep adding something new to the plier drawer 😂

    Tire Plug kits

    Perhaps a bit overkill, but I recently purchased this set from Amazon for $30. I used it just one time when my wife came home with a large screw in her right rear tire. The reamer tool is stout! Much better quality than the cheap $4 unit sold at most brick and mortar stores.

    New Alliance Vendor: Olsa Tools

    Awesome! That would free up almost an entire drawer. I would be a buyer. Do you have any sort of time frame when we might see this product?

    New Alliance Vendor: Olsa Tools

    One thought that comes to mind is some sort of clip, cover or band for spring loaded plier handles. I own quite a few pairs of oil filter pliers and specialty pliers that I have to lay flat because the handles spread wide open. I would like to place them standing up in my red Olsa Tools plier...

    MAC Truck Wednesday! My 3rd and 4th gen f-body cars are littered with those little spring hose clamps. I'm tired of struggling with my slip joints on them. Found this for a good price!

    What is this tool used for?

    One of our customers stopped by yesterday and had a few of these in the back of his truck. He said someone gave them to him, but he didn't know what they were used for. They look like some kind of ratcheting jack? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Not exactly welcoming more business either.

    Walmart Getting Serious About Tools in 2026?

    Just like our local Harbor Freight did with their ICON tools. They put locks on the pegs. The first time I had ever tried to buy ICON tools was also the last. I went for a set of 3/8" drive metric sockets, and the peg was locked. I looked up the aisle and there was a long line of people standing...

    Walmart Getting Serious About Tools in 2026?

    I went to Walmart yesterday to check out the new HyperTough tools, and they're locked up behind glass. As soon as I saw that, I said "Get fukked" out loud and walked out of the store. I'm not tracking down an employee to unlock a glass door. That's not just a theft deterrent, it's also an...

    Glad to see a brick and mortar store offering 1/2” drive chrome 6 point. That also looks like a really nice rail compared to the cheap peg style Duralast uses. Who makes Diehards sockets? I was curious if they’re Apex sourced and have the double detent feature on the drive end.

    MAC Truck Wednesday - Thought some long cutters might come in handy for an upcoming project.

    I like Northern Tool, but their house brand tools are trash. Klutch is in desperate need of a makeover or complete replacement. We have two new Northern Tool locations in the greater Cincinnati/NKY area, and I’ve only gone once or twice and haven’t been back. They have a real opportunity to...

    What's the difference between these two Craftsman wrenches that one is listed for nearly ten times as much as the other?

    I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but the $29.99 ratchet also has owners markings on the head.
