Thanks! This is now the girlfriends Valentine's day gift.

A long time ago I picked up an old Fiat air cleaner, I don't even remember why I had it. After having in for years I finally deiced to put it you use as the air filter for my hodge-podge air compressor.

Another Update, I called APEX again last Friday. They had still not processed the shipment of the GearWrench ratchet they offered. I got an email yesterday that they had finally processed it and my ratchet has been shipped. Only took 3 months since I shipped them my Armstrong. In other news. I...

Just an update. The day I posted the original post, I ordered a Wera Zyklop. It came in the mail today, from the UK. That got me wondering where my GearWrench replacement ratchet is at. I was going to post pics of it on this thread and give y'all my opinion on it. But its yet to arrive. I called...

In the last 2 years I've lost 150 LBs. I totally lucked out. I had a nice 3XL Carhartt when I was big, I wore it last year when I went to cut a Christmas trees with my friend. It was like a tent on me. My friend is 3XL, when we got home that evening he went into his closet and pulled out a XL...

Its not a warranty for your lifetime, its the lifetime of the company. It use to be companies out lived people. Not these days.

I'm totally accepting it. That's the other reason I posted. To see what yall thought of the GW alternative.

:thumbup: Thats why I posted. Spread the word to anyone who's looking at these tools. Our purchases are $ votes, cast them wisely.

This is EXACTLY what was going on with the ratchet. I used it once about 4 months after buying it and it locket up. Put it aside and about a week later I tried it with different grease, oil, etc to see if that would help but on closer look it looked like a design flaw. I thought, being a more...

Yeah, I paid 55-60 for it originally. DAMN IT! Good to know for the other Armstrong ratchets I have. I'm not mailing that company anything again.

Bought these last year. Great quality. Sadly the only thing I see worth buying and I bought them last year. Guess I can sleep in on Black Friday. https://www.blackfriday.fm/ad/sears/craftsman-3pc-pry-bar-set-w-strike-cap/479213

Figures! Like most of us I was brought up on Craftsmen, then they started warrantying my Made in USA with Made in "Not the USA" That's when I bought the Armstrong ratchets. Feels like I jumped from one sinking ship to the next.

Its already gone. I mailed APEX the ratchet. They mailed me back the 1/4 drive handle. I didn't think to go back to Amazon because I've had it for a few years. I bought all 3: 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 and the 1/4 just didn't get used til later. When I buy Harbor Freight tools I be sure to use them...

I bought all 3 of the Armstrong Maxx ratchet line about 2 years ago. I love them! But the 1/4 never worked right. It would ratchet 3 or 4 times then the selector would get jammed and the ratcheting would stop. I took it apart and cleaned it and it would do the same thing. The only way to get the...

I had a similar situation after I made my work bench. I put my chest freezer under it on wheels like a drawer, but then had about 4" of space above it. I wanted a single drawer in that space. After some head scratching I noticed a spare shelf from my cabinet was about the size of the drawer I...
