I know you're asking about the HF set, but I have this GearWrench set http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062FSAVI/?tag=atomicindus08-20 AND this Kobalt set...

I recently scored a compressor like this http://www.gastmfg.com/product_detail.aspx?ProductID=357&ProductTypeID=33 for $30 and 2 hours of driving. I plan to use it for airing up car tires and odd jobs around our apartment. It's in great shape and just needs a replacement regulator/filter as the...

Briefly skimming through the thread I didn't see Hitachi mentioned and feel as if they definitely deserve consideration. I have no experience with most of their offerings, but I bought the DV18DL 1/2" drill/driver/hammer drill back in 2007 and it has never let me down on any task. I carefully...

They don't replace any single tool, but definitely come in handy when you're in a bind and need something that works for a particular application. Like the old saying goes, the best (tool, light, etc) available is the one in your hand getting the job done. I've had a Gerber Suspension and...

Was in the market for a compact compressor recently and decided to go with the Hitachi EC89. Lowes has them NIB for $159. Nice build quality and good/solid performance. 0-135psi in 2 mins, recovery time is 30 seconds, pulls 11.5-12 amps and doesn't move at all when running. Hitachi rates it @...

I'm calling B.S. on this as it really depends on the build quality/components used. I've been using a PW with an Annovi Reverberi SJV horizontal axial cam/wobble plate pump for 5 years now, up to 4-5 hrs daily/multiple days weekly. NO issues... This particular pump is rated for 800 hours of...

Bought this awhile back for the higher pressure rating of the blowgun and build quality... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-11-pc-air-compressor-accessory-kit-with/p-00916391000P?prdNo=22&blockNo=22&blockType=G22&PDP_REDIRECT=false&s_tnt=39869:4:0 No hose included, but the fit and finish of all...

For those looking for a light/compact compressor check this one out... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-1.5-gallon-portable-air-compressor-with-hose/p-00915309000P?prdNo=6&blockNo=6&blockType=G6 I did have one and was impressed with the quality/performance for the price range. 0-150psi takes a...

Short answer NO!!! My mother-in-law/husband bought one and I used it a few days ago to add air to his truck tires, which has been sitting for some time and two of those tires have slow leaks. To start with it took a good 5-6 mins just to fill the tank, then at least 3-10 minutes per tire to top...

Absolute best headlamp I've ever used, especially for the price is this... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KYFZJG/?tag=atomicindus08-20 May be discontinued, but surely one can be found somewhere. Also, really like the LED Lenser H7, which is readily available and offers some really nice...

I really wanted the Ridgid Tri-Stack ... until I found out from a tech guy at Ridgid that it's rated @ 102.5 decibels. I've noticed (based on alot of reading) that most Ridgid oil-less units are a bit on the loud side.

Just bought a Hitachi EC89 air compressor for basic use around the house. Came with synthetic 5W50 oil, which seems to be a bit expensive for what it is. Was considering sourcing a decent compressor oil for break-in procedure, then drain and refill with the included Hitachi oil. Couldn't find...

What is a Bible, lmao? Don't play the religion card as that will open another can of worms.

The Evolv line IS quite nice and very affordable. I recently was looking for a decent ratcheting T-handle and picked up the Evolv 29 pc. as seen here... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-evolv-29pc-ratcheting-t-handle-set/p-00914017000P?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4 Nice build quality and very...

My local TSC does have some decent stuff, but IMHO the prices are a bit much based on demographics. Case in point... recently bought a small/portable air compressor (from Sears) and wanted to add a 1/4" ball valve for a bit more convenience. Went to TSC and they had a Campbell Hausfeld 1/4"...
