    Advance Auto Parts - $50 off $125 coupon code

    I have good luck with ink kept in a dark light free firesafe. :beer: But the tricky part was he still asked for the phone number. I had to crash my brain a minute to remember what my first number was for only three months before getting this one. Had this one all my married life but did have a...

    Advance Auto Parts - $50 off $125 coupon code

    Want Autozone fun? Do what my wife and I did. Pull a set of air shocks off a car you bought installed them on 26 years ago and hand them the sales ticket with lifetime warranty. "Well sir, we don't carry those anymore.'' Well we bought these in good faith, and they are leaking down overnight...

    Snap-on sockets

    I've got chrome sets of USA brands, but still have a 1/2'' set of 12 point shallow metric that are P&M ( Popular Mechanics ) Taiwan. I've not broken one of the PM's yet, and use the 12mm as a Ford drive line socket with my impacts. The non-USA doesn't bother me as bad these days on 'some things'...

    Made in USA st.louis pneumatic now sold at homedepot.com

    I'm quite satisfied with their response. I apologize for my snarky comment, it was uncalled for. I was just on the rag anyways and thought back to when I assembled a certain brand name TV's during the 90's and had to put Made In USA stickers on the back of TV's that had no USA parts other than...

    Alternatives to Craftsman 299 Ultimate socket set

    If the guy is returning his sockets because they turned out to be offshore ( not Made In USA ) then why point him at Lowes to buy Kobalt? :lol_hitti

    Why the hate for used "engraved" tools?

    I see what you are saying, but what should be done with a mans tools after he dies? Should the wife or next of kin scrap them for junk weight so nobody has to see his name ever again?

    New Cornwell 1/2" impact and socket set

    It's great to see them dual marked. My shallow 1/2'' drives were only lazer etched and in a years time I could no longer read them. All my other impact sockets are size stamped. I'm going to replace my shallow 1/2'' drives with stamped as well, or at least dual marked. Never again will I buy...

    Dewalt tool box - Home Depot

    So is my 04 Suzuki Quadrunner. The day I bought it new everyone ragged me about not being able to hide it in the woods. My reply was that being I don't grow that 'ol dope, I had no need to hide it anywhere. ;)

    Why Buy Snap-on?

    And paid for without running a tab. At times it was very tempting though.. but wanted my first home paid off in ten years worse than I needed the fanciest tools.

    Why Buy Snap-on?

    I have an iPhone, but didn't buy it. Actually I have four iPhones and paid nothing for them. I've been with Verizon well over a decade and haven't even changed my number. When the contract runs out every two years, if you wait a little while they'll offer you free upgrades to get you reeled in...
