    I'm done shopping at Harbor Freight

    No surprise here. HF are not the only store clamping down on returns. Home Depot will actually just flat out deny your return if you are an "excessive" returner. Some of the larger items at Home Depot are not even returnable with a big sticker on the box. Go look at their electric drain snakes...

    What chainsaw would you recommend?

    I purchased an Echo CS-352 a couple of years ago. Its a great little saw with plenty of power and surprisingly light. Stihl is OK but if you are only going to use it for a project here and there why spend the money. For what its worth I have used Stihl saws working as a landscaper years ago. I...

    Harbor Freight coupons.

    I am going to Harbor Freight this weekend to pick up their 44 inch toolbox. Does anyone know if they accept the 20% off coupon for toolboxes?

    Need a new furnace, Goodman? Diy?

    My Goodman AC/Heat combo forced hot air unit is about 15 years old and has never given me a problem. Its probably not as efficient as the new models but I wouldn't hesitate to replace my unit with another Goodman if I had to.

    110 Outlets not working

    +1 on this. As long as the NM cable is going directly into the receptacle box that bolts onto the house your fine. That box is approved for outdoor use.

    Sears 3 pc. Pry Bar Set $19.99

    I use them anytime I have to pull a caliper off a rusty rotor when I do brakes on my cars and trucks.

    Should I have voltage on my earth ground?

    I'm not an electrician but I do not think you should have voltage on your earth ground. Something can't be right. How many volts are you measuring? Maybe some type of stray voltage.

    5 Gal galvanized gas can on woot!

    I like the No Spill gas cans they sell on amazon. A bit pricey but I have no problems filling my lawn mower or snow blower. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W72GBC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Generator Backfeed

    I have the exact same panel but you are going to need to free it up. Here's a pic of mine with the interlock kit. You will need 1 30 amp double pole breaker on the right side all the way to the top.

    Craftsman Made in USA Tools

    I ordered the 540 piece tool set and every piece in it was made in China except the 2 pliers and the screw driver sets. Maybe even the allen keys. Not sure about that though. I will have to check. To be honest with you the sockets look about the same quality as the USA ones that I bought years...

    Wilton 63201 Tradesman 6-1/2" Round Channel Vise with Swivel Base

    Some larger companies get very good rates on shipping. I work for a medium sized company where we ship thousands of packages a day through UPS. I have seen the published rate at $87.00 for an overnight package and we get billed only $21.00.

    Craftsman 348 piece & 540 piece mechanic tool sets will soon be made in Asia

    Thanks for the info. It says they actually have a set in stock at my local sears. I suppose I could ask to see the box and the contents just to see if its made in the USA. Not sure if it will deter me from buying the set. I had a very full box of snap on tools that my father gave to my brothers...
