    this is why sears is failing

    It slightly saddens me to see this one great retail giant failing right before my eyes. I used to live to look through the Sears toy catalog or as they called it "Wishbook". Also their big catalog was fun to look through as well. The range of goods that they carried to me as a young boy was...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I always seem to find a Cornwell Truck when it is rush hour. Or he is going in the exact opposite direction and there is no way for me to catch him. I would like a few things from one of them. But to be honest I am not out and about much either. I will catch one of them one of these days. S

    How do you leave a crescent wrench?

    The real name of this thread should have been, "Which color pill do you take for your OCD?" That being said, I have touches of OCD, but I have never worried about this. To each his own. S

    What's the greatest tool innovation?

    I think they are newer to the market, but cordless tools with brushless motors in them are going to be a great addition to any tool box. I would also give a vote to square drive sockets/ratchets. Ratcheting wrenches. While not a tool, the phillips head screw or fastener is far superior...

    Dealer mark up on Snap On boxes

    I posted this before, but here is how my Snap-On guy told me it works. He is pretty open with me, I don't get the feeling he is making this up. He knows I want a huge Green box. He told me that IF i did not need it any time soon, he could make me a deal on it. He said there are TWO times a...

    How did you acquire your tools

    I have bought most of my tools. Mechanic tools from the Snap-On truck, but I really like/love Cornwell ratchets.... I got my first tool in the late 1980's, it was a Green Handle Ratcheting Screwdriver, it came with a tall mug, in a combo box. I still have the mug and the screwdriver. I have...

    Programmable light switch?

    I just installed the one that Home Depot carries in their store. I say it that way because Home Depot in the Houston area only carries one make in store. Lowes in the Houston area carries none. They are available on their websites, but not for in-store pick-up. The one I installed was...

    What's with the "new" Snap On boxes on Craigslist?

    i bought my box off of Craigslist. But it wasn't new. And wasn't in the color that i would have liked... BUT $1,000 for a Classic 76, in Blue is not bad. I went over to see the box and it was in good shape. It had a teeny bit of paint spilled down the front of it on one of the drawers, and...

    Tool Franchise help

    I have not asked, because i did not want to pry. But i do get the feeling that my SO guy has a warehouse where he(and maybe others) park their trucks and keep their "extra inventory". I have seen the crates that the SO tool boxes come in, they look to be bigger than something I could keep in...

    Tool Franchise help

    I know nothing about how the guys that own tool trucks work, but i do want to offer you something that i was told just a week ago. I bought a Snap On tool cart from my snap on guy. He delivered to my house(it is for my home garage) because it was easier to deliver out of his pickup truck...
