    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I just bought the 3/8" Fuel a few days ago and I've only used it once so far to tear down all the **** in the way of pulling a valve cover, along with the valve cover, and all I can say is that ratchet is simply amazing.

    cost to refill fire extinguisher?

    If they aren't the plastic valve style, it's MUCH cheaper to have them recharged. I do all the ones at my companies location annually and it normally runs around $15/ea for the recharge and $10 extra if they are in need of a hydrotest.

    Cordless drill dilemma 1/4" vs 3/8" chuck

    Does Sears Honor The HF 20% Coupon?

    I've used Harbor Freight coupons at Home Depot a few times but it's a much easier sell when you have the full page original ad. The printout one took a lot of haggling :D

    So...I was compelled to restore this old thing. LONG/Pics

    Which of these strippers are better. Klein vs Ideal

    I've got both models at work and I greatly prefer the Klein one. Feels easier on the hand to me.

    Scaffold Set

    I bought the Tractor Supply setup two months ago to help a buddy install some windows and then some projects at my place. I was able to pick it up with at the $150 price plus a 10% off coupon, worth every penny I paid. It's MUCH nicer than the one at Harbor Freight that I looked at. It's the...
