    2-Post Car Lift - Shipping Damage

    That is a laughable amount. The older I get the more I don't tolerate BS but at the same time I am aware on what hill I want to die on when fighting a battle. This would be said hill. Sounds like this is quite upsetting to you (understandably so, this isn't like you received a coffee mug...

    What Tools Have You Misplaced/Lost?

    While like everyone else here I own several tape measures but their must be some patron saint that smiles upon me from above in regards to them as I don't seem to lose them. Measured some stuff in the back of my truck which, well rides like a truck. Backed out of the driveway with a curb and...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    So I had one of these fail out of the set: https://www.harborfreight.com/4-pc-38-in-drive-quick-release-extension-bar-set-67976.html Here's two dumb questions: 1) The collar on one of them is just loose. Is this the screw that backs out the problem? 2) For laughs, do I walk into HF with...

    Craftsman bashing

    Sears basically had the world by the fuzz and let it fly by. Could have been Amazon. The Sears/Willis Tower exists because they felt they needed the square footage to support their expansion. At the end of the day, whether you liked or loathed Sears their demise will be a sad day. And...

    Hobbies

    Right now it is basically cars and cooking while the others take to the back burner. But am fascinated by what everyone else likes. Wish I could be a woodworker, build a ship in a bottle, etc. I've spent a lot of money on tools, hobbies and booze. The rest I wasted.

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    My Sears anchors our major mall in a town of 300K. Like I've said earlier, it feels like a funeral home now versus ten years ago when it was still thriving. Last Saturday I went to pick up an item I ordered online. While waiting in the dilapidated entrance where pickup is I looked through the...

    I went with the handi-cut utility cutter set. Two sets of cutters. Blades made in USA, everything else...take a guess. Probably overpaid (well they were technically free) but they actually feel fairly decent.

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    Whew. Had around $30 in points that I needed to spend before midnight. A simple task turned into using a coupon and adding a small item to get over the $30 hump for free shipping. With that, pretty much done with Sears until they turn the ship around. Which won't happen but maybe. Will need...

    Yeah, thanks that got me through. Now what to blow $30 bucks on.

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    On the most part I agree. But Lampert has really failed with capital investments to bring stores up to a level of "at least tolerable" in regards to decor. Cripes, it feels like walking into a funeral home at my Sears which anchors a mall in my town of 300K. Sad thing is I knew the guy that...

    They've clamped down versus last year. They were throwing points faster at you than a ***** giving you herpes. You were able to combine coupon codes, offers, etc. into a great deal.

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    Yeah, it is frustrating. I have/had a bunch of points and a good chunk were expiring today. Since I'm basically at the end of the road digging through for tools I went a different direction for some new cookware. They are tools after all. In short, spent around $140 or so, got a 15%...

    Quick Review of Craftsman 42 pc torx set (34845)

    When you say broke do you mean stripped or snapped off? I bought this set last year and I find most of the bitsare absolute garbage. Felt like they were made out of butter on something easy. Both hex and especially Torx. So walking in with a couple junk bits from this set they just can't...
