    Lowes deals/sales/clearance

    DOTD on some Dewalt 12v tools. $89. Impact wrenches, OMT and, some saws. But, I think the standout is the 5-in-1 “installation” tool. My personal favorite for around the house. This is a kit with a 2ah battery and charger for $89...

    Thoughts on a Ryobi Impact and Compressor for College bound Daughter

    good thought on those new Greenworks Pro tools. for the OP, I had an older ryobi impact that I replaced when Lowes was closing out flex. it always got off every lug bolt I tried it on. Though there were a few times when it did struggle. I think the one you are linking too would be fine.

    Harry J Epstein Day / Wright Tool Meet-Up

    I’m in. I’m pretty close and drive by on a regular basis. oddly enough, I’ve been to their offices when I did some freelance right out of school to help them with a presentation. after seeing pictures from Mark Fox of a tour he did, I’ve kicked myself for never pushing for a tour back then...

    CAT carrying Stahlwille ratchets now

    CAT Cleveland. But, non-flex. I couldn’t find the flex-head ratchets at the time. Flex-head prizes are the same as your screen.

    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    Well damn. thought it was funny that they quote one of the better local mechanics in the area (my dad swore by them). Then I see the company is ”right down the road” from me. They are pretty close to the old Firestone plants (Bridgestone NA). Learn something new everyday. looks like it bends...

    CAT carrying Stahlwille ratchets now

    Surprised that didn’t turn up in my search before I posted. I was surprised that no one HAD. Little did I know.

    CAT carrying Stahlwille ratchets now

    Ran across a video this morning of a guy showing a CAT-branded Stahlwille flex-head ratchet. Apparently CAT sent it to him as a pre-release. I looked on the CAT site. Was able to find the standard, quick release with comfort grip Stahlwille ratchets. 1/4” and 3/8” are a bit less the KC Tool’s...

    Show us your *NEW* 2021+ Craftsman V Series tools and tool boxes!

    That’s a great set. Good fitment on fasteners. I used them to replace the door latch on my wife’s Mini. came in super handy on the two torx bolts to release the window.
