Old thread I know but has anyone had any problems with the run out on the newer Makita Sub Compact line of drills? I really liked the features and lightness of my Milwaukee M12 Fuel 1/2" hammer drill when I first got it. I've had it about two years now and the runout has gotten way worse than...

Milwaukee has me hooked, at least on the 12v stuff (at this moment I would guess my total receipts from various places is in the several thousand dollar mark). I don't have any of the specialty stuff (other than the pex expansion tool) or new stuff as of mid year 2017 but I have a lot of...

Sorry Jon. I did do a search but my searching skills ****. In any future post on here I'll make a lot better effort. Apologies again. To reply to others, I've checked 3 other stores so far today (within an hours driving distance of where I live) and they report the same. The last one I went...

I don't know if I'm late to the game to notice but it looks like Harbor Freight has discontinued the top cabinet for the 56" US General box? I have two Snap On boxes that see heavy usage rolling around at work but honestly at home in the garage where they never move I have the US General stuff...

In some ways yes. The fit and finish is not quite like what it used to be. I attribute this to some cost cutting, value engineering, or the lean manufacturing models. I inherited almost all of my late grandfather's tools. A ton of these were Channellock. My modern day collection isn't the...

I'm pretty sure one of the local service garages around where I live took delivery of a complete master set when they rebuilt. Long story short they had a fire that burned everything to go the ground but everything was luckily insured. This is the only time I've heard of someone or company...

If I walked into a mechanic's garage let alone a personal garage, seeing one of these I would be pretty impressed with said individual. This is the "I'm not messing around" or "I've seen it all" or "I'm ocd and everything has it's exact place" tool box. Really these aren't tool boxes so much...

New to the forum guys. But I've got an addiction I can't curb, ie to the new Milwaukee tools. I think since last year I've easily sunk 2-3k into the m4 electric screwdriver, m12 tools, and m18 tools. Before hand I had Dewalt, Hitachi, and Porter Cable for most tools. For automotive I had...

Hello guys, This is my first time on the forum posting. I've been lurking for a long time and always forget to get myself registered. Lots of great articles on here and the community seems awesome. I figured I'd make a mention of a major pass for me. The harbor freight 3/4" drive breaker...
