I use inxpensive ($5-$10) tool boxes for power tools that did not come with cases. This lets me keep bits, saw blades, chucks and other accesories with the tool and it also makes them portable for work away from the shop.

A little off topic... Last year the $30 sale priced gearwrench sets were 10 piece. My g/f got me a metric set for xmas.

I just got back for HF where I passed my 20% off one item coupon to an older gentleman buying a battery charger. They took the coupon no problem even though it had my name not his on it. The guy in front of me had the 25% off entire purchase coupon and i heard the cashier tell him that...

Over slept by one hour. Ended up waking up at 545 and heading to Lowes, then I hit Sears, and Menards. Went to Ace around 430 right before work. This was my first black friday early morning shopping In less then two hours I got everything I wanted. Lowe's: $29 Shop Vac and $10 cutting board...

I had a leatherman my brother in law gave me for standing up at his and my sister's wedding eight years ago. Used it a lot until a few weeks ago. My truck got broken into and it along with about $500 worth of tools got stolen. I definately plan on getting another one, hopefully Santa checks...

PM sent for Craftsman breaker bar.

What do you guys think of these screwdrivers? Are they a major step up from standard Craftsman hard handle screwdrivers? I'm trying to replace a stolen tool box/set that I use away from the house. These seem like a good deal, but If they are not much better then a standard Cman driver then...

Sorry can't help you there. This is the style I have and the style I would like in 3/8" either with a regular handle or one of the red grips.

I have a two brand new Proto 1/4" drive pear heads that I could trade you. One is #4749P (chrome) and the other is 4749PBL (black). They are both brand new never used. I would be interested in trading for a 3/8" Proto ratchet, either #5249P or #5249PG. I wouldn't mind paying you a few bucks...

I have been told they will sell to some one without a company account one time. So far I have walked in three times and bought on all three occasions. Each time they tell me I am allowed a one time purchase. Two of the times I have picked up items in stock and one time it needed to be ordered...

If you don't need them for work tomorrow I would wait. Sears has the 50% off sale on Gearwrench stuff every other month it seems like. If you are patient enought you will get brand new stuff 50% off by summer's end.

I don't really have an issue with lazer etched sockets yet. Maybe my opinion will change as my young eyes age. The set I picked up on clearence a few months ago has them. I'm just worried about the the markings are not going to hold up. Ten years down the road I would hate to have a bunch of...

I hope it is on this set and not the one that replaced it in the 2008 catalog. I would prefer the non lazer etched sockets.

Deal was for June 23rd only. Looks like we both missed out Beard.

I used a galvanized elbow and short piece of pipe with a brass ball valve. I did not tighten it as much as I could have, just used plenty of teflon tape. No leeks since I have done it about a month ago. I can probably get it around one or two more times but I just left it sticking out the way...
