    Craftsman Bolt Out 6PC and 5PC - $9.99 each

    Thanks, of course !! The one time I tried to use them it didn't work for me so I never made it to that step where I needed to knock out the offending bolt. It was a stripped 10mm at an awkward spot. I tried these bolt out but it didn't/couldn't grab tight enough to work. As I recall what...

    Lowe's Clearance Thread 2014

    This is not a clearance deal but it's Lowes related. Got an email from Lowes regarding appliance discount so I click to see what's up, we need a new dishwasher. Ended up getting a Whirlpool stainless steel DW for $280 out the door. List for $299, added a 10% off coupon and after tax it's $279...

    Pass through sockets are they worth it?

    Search for pass through socket set and I found this thread. Need to do the stabilizer links on my 2000 Accord. Was going to pick up a pass thru set from HF. But now I see that pic with the offset wrench, so should I get a 17mm offset wrench instead of the pass thru socket set at HF? I think...

    Lee Jeans

    Bought 4 pairs of Carhartt about 2 months ago, via slickdeals.net. 4 pairs came out to about 35 bucks, that's less than 10 bucks a pair. Never worn, or even heard of Carhartt before, always worn levi, lee, or whatever is the cheapest at the time. Carhartt jeans are really well put together...

    breaker bars

    I used that same breaker bar to break loose the Accord's crankshaft pulley bolt to do the timing belt. I did add a cheater pipe (about 6 feet) to add leverage. I give that bar a big thumbs up, use it to change wheels all the time.

    HF 3/8" locking extensions - check your set screws!

    Thanks for the heads up, I have the same set, I'll take a look. I haven't use them a lot, I got them mostly for changing sparkplugs and they worked perfectly for that. I have so many 3/8 extensions that I only use the locking ones when I need them to lock.

    Best Oil Filter Wrench...... EVER!

    My 2011 Sienna has this cartridge style oil filter. It's a pain because there are extra steps involved. Before removing the cartridge cap there's another small round cap that has to come off and insert this plastic device to drain the oil. After that you remove the cartridge cap. I didn't need...

    Gearwrench 3/8 10pc metric flex socket set $30, Advance Auto

    I caved and bought a metric set. I needed a headlight bulb and that was my 10 dollar filler to get it over 50. With tax it came out to 32. I notice the sockets can slide up and down the blue tray is there a way to lock it so it doesn't move up and down?
