    CAT Hand tools 20% Off ENDED

    Try setting your local dealer to a different location. I used zip code 68138, because the Cat dealers nearest to me in California were not part of the promotion.

    CAT Hand tools 20% Off ENDED

    Any chance you can post some photos showing the finish variance in the sets you bought? Are you referring to your hex socket sets, or 6pt/12pt socket sets as well? I'm looking at making a big purchase very similar to the list you gave in post #17 (by the way, thanks for posting all those part...

    Ace Hardware Craftsman Clearance

    Edit: searching on the part numbers suggests the sets below are 7-piece sets, not the 11-piece sets Napa is advertising. Proceed with caution: Previous posts (above) from boxy30 and jlrut steered me to the Napa Auto Parts website... Craftsman 11 Piece 12-point Combination Wrench Set Metric...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT The Salvage Garage

    Strouty, one of your photos above leads me to a question: how close is Snap-on's Extreme Green to Harbor Freight's green in real life? They look really close in photos.

    Where to get decent bathroom fixtures?

    You really don't want to flush while you're sitting on it, if at all possible... toilet aerosolization:

    Labeling Sockets in Organizer? OCD is killing me

    I've thought about doing the same thing, lining up different sets of sockets so that for example all the 10mm sockets are aligned front to back. Do you have any pictures of your setup?

    How can I move this tv ?

    Stuntmen jumping off buildings land safely on stacked empty cardboard boxes. A stuntman weighs about the same as this TV. So just stack up empty cardboard boxes to the level of the TV, and push/pull it off the shelf.

    2019 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    I seem to have the opposite problem. Lowe's cancels my order than "forgets" to refund my method of payment. I've had to follow up on my last three cancelled orders to get refunded. Lowe's mails me a Lowe's Merchandise Credit (looks like a typical plastic gift card). Which I then use on my next...

    US General Toolbox Combinations

    If someone from HF is reading this, we need a cheaper alternative to Schaller bins so that we can use HF cabinets to store fasteners and small parts.

    Gas furnace problem

    My furnace isn't one of the models with laminated heat exchangers. Here's a photo of the flames: Hard to get a good angle, and I don't really know what I'm looking for. The flames are about 10" long, absolutely horizontal, blue with just a bit of yellow right at far ends. I think they are the...

    Gas furnace problem

    The squirrel cage wheel is undamaged and free of corrosion. I live in the mountains of California... it is very dry here. Obviously water is one of the combustion products when burning natural gas or propane, but in this climate the whole unit dries out quickly once the furnace is off. No sign...
