If you live in canada, Gray tools has a 53 piece set made by Lang which is available online at home depot for some reason. Beats the matco version which only has 51 pieces...

I was in the same boat as a DIYer, I just kept my eyes open and got a set of Gray 1/2 metric 12 point and than a old SK fractional socket set with a case big enough for both sets of sockets. I think together they cost me like $60 CDN. You will end up using your impact on pretty much everything...

Makita 1/2 D handle mixing drill is what you need.

I would say probably as we cannot go to HF to get one. That being said I had some family members smuggle one from the promised land for me and it is rad. If it is heated, grab it. $70 does not seem to be out of line if it is not trashed.

Re: Help ME Assemble my first "Adult Toolbox"... Lots of questions inside... I prefer sand's to empire for levels. The tube is really bright and easy to read. They are also so classic. If you're getting a cat's paw bar get a estwing. I would get knipex carpenters pincers though they are...

I have the second estwing listed. It's excellent, as is every estwing I have ever seen. The vibration reducing grip is actually effective in comparison to a wood handle. 3lbs provides a noticeable difference compared to a normal sized ball pein, claw or rip and the short handle makes it pretty...

We have a DWE402G at work. I've been using it lately but the cord is wonky so I think it's going back under warranty for that. The paddle switch, One-touch guard and having an allen key instead of the stupid spanner to change the blade is so awesome. It's the first 4.5 that I have seen that...

I have a DK13HLQ and it has the same problem. I have two rebuild kits but have not gotten around to it yet. Subbed.

When I was researching my model K, Hiball informed me that the K has drive style zerks that from what I understand cannot be replaced. Consider inspecting those before you buy a kit for it. I was curious, does the horizontal knob located on the handle of your Model K function? Apparently it is...

Ditch the model K. Wayyyyy too heavy for 3.5 ton? capacity. It's not as desirable or practical as an o boy or ws. That snappy will provide similar performance unless you need the extra length. I did the exact same thing and got a model k first. I then got a hw93642 and never looked back. I...

I have an old mastercraft wrench that is identical to a contempory gray. It's stamped in a cool gothic font.

I have multiple gray tools, all bought used so I don't know how old they are. I hate their ratchets, their 3/8 seems massive and crude in comparison to my SK palm control. It would seem that they have never really changed their molds ever, as that orange handled ratchet posted earlier is the...

Hello, I picked up this jack about a year ago. The gentleman I purchased it from was was easy to negotiate with, I should have been suspicious. I started using it and was quite impressed with it's abilities. However, it started to lower whenever it was under weight, which was quite unsettling...

10:1. I had it in a shed beside the house so it was at least 80f during the day most of the time. I should have been more descriptive, it definitely did something but at week 3 it seemed to really start to fill up with rust and develop a skin etc. It seemed to become more bio active. I just...

Hey guys I completed assembly on my Reed 2C today. I used molasses to remove the rust and the coated it in BLO. I left the handle and main screw alone because I honestly forgot about it, but I think it adds some character. I might repaint it and the swivel handles at some point. I think it came...
