    ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★

    Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ Discussion about the deal seems like a good idea to have. It's nice to see comments like "this deal isn't special, they do it all the time/have a better deal coming up", "X location wouldn't honor this deal", "this amazon seller is most...

    Any Bicycle People out there? Classic, Mountain biking and builder here!

    I was on a 2001 specialized rockhopper for about 2 years, but recently just upgraded to a 2016 giant atx for $120. I buy mine from surplus auctions. The giant had obviously been chained to a bike rack during a week or so of constantly rain. I cleaned the freewheel (wtf why couldn't they have...

    Pressure washer trips gfci with no load.

    Once you tell the customer service rep you're going to do something that would end up costing northern more money, they're a lot more accommodating to you. I've found that out at most companies. Chargebacks cause them to give you a full refund as well as pay a fee for the bank's effort, so...

    Paid for USA, got China

    Might be a case of it used to be made in USA until the manufacturer decided to send the business to china. Either way, contact Amazon and they'll refund you. Even if they did mean shipping origin, that's their fault for not stating that and they should be held responsible for that.

    Are airtools dead or dying?

    You'd have to use a hammer to drive your nails like a caveman! :willy_nil

    What kind of glue could this be?

    Put a bunch of it on your enemy's cotton shirt for some fun... Personally, I use mine more as a bandaid than I do to repair things. It forms a nice instant "scab" that keeps slices from moving around and promotes it to heal faster.

    PVC ,hose cutter

    My dad has one similar, but his seems like an old harbor freight version. The jaw seems like it would be so much better if it had one more tooth on each side. Seems like it doesn't engage easily when open wide and seems like it doesn't cut all the way through on some hoses. I've been meaning...

    Dayton 10" bench grinder - a few questions

    Ah, looking at the spec plates on some Doerr grinders I was able to notice the similarities in the Lr-15562 number stamped on mine. This number seems to crossreference to milwaukee and doerr 10" grinders so I'd say you're right. Here's one I found that's the milwaukee version...

    New Toro (Briggs & Stratton) mower: "NEVER CHANGE THE OIL"??

    I don't think I ever changed the oil in any of my mowers, just added oil when it dropped low. Only one has died, and I'm not sure that was completely oil related either. I got 10 years out of it mowing a double lot weekly so I'd think it's not a very hard claim to make. I just use the super...

    Ebay or Auction Deals Permathread!

    I picked those up awhile ago after I finally retired my HF set. These are great quality for the price. Haven't had any type of issues with handles slipping or metal wear or bends yet.

    i'm impressed with walmart's tool selection!

    Having loose tools like that seems like it might have a lot of shoplifting and things out of place. Having it behind a locked case might be best for the cost, but I'm sure walmart knows what they're doing by now.

    It amazes me what people give away in the 'free' section of CL!

    I've never looked on ohio's free section myself but I'm willing to bet money there's plenty of organs for free there lol Seems like everyone in new england has an old organ to give away.
