    Tools that you thought were stupid to buy and now can’t live without.

    I picked up one as well years ago. Mine might have been sold under a bug zapper/spray brand, it is about half the size of the tennis racket style HF sells. More like a table tennis one. Works great, and it gets used for the odd wasp that strays inside. Burnt bug is nasty though. I remember...

    ICONExtended-Reach Ratcheting Serpentine Belt Tool Kit

    I have the Husky branded kit, which I believe is a rebranded GW one, or a very close copy. It has worked well for me, and is super handy on transverse mounted engines in small bays. Between it and my old Craftsman one I have been able to handle all the vehicles that have graced my driveway.

    What would everyone choose for a pry bar set if you were to buy new?

    I have craftsman Wilde ones, and the longer hyper tough Wilde one and they have all held up well. I wouldn't hesitate to rebuy a Wilde rebrand from whatever local outlet. I do prefer the striking cap though as I have used it several times fighting with vehicles.

    Calling all English blokes

    Gearwrench makes an indexing prybar that looks like that. I have an extendable one with a very similar head, and some old Craftsman ones which were probably rebranded Gearwrench or something like that.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    PASS - #64918 Maddox cylinder leakdown tester kit. Worked fine for me, confirmed no leaks on my son’s Taurus, got it with a coupon. Bonus - some of my hoses from older gauge kits also worked with this one, so I gained a shorter hose for the back cylinders and tighter spaces, which was super...

    Am I getting old? No more air impacts?

    I guess I would be called a hybrid then. Strictly a home gamer. I started with air back in the 90s with a 20gal Coleman compressor. Loud as the dickens, and it got way worse after 20 years. During that time I pickedd up a decent impact and ratchet, and one of those multipack C-H tool packs. They...

    Tool box top chest what do you put inside?

    Junk. Both of mine are landing pads for odds and ends, various chemicals and stuff I don't feel like dealing with right then.

    Does a quality 2-3 drawer top handle toolbox exist?

    I still love my Craftsman rally boxes. I have both the 3 drawer and the 4 drawer with the little cantilever tray in the top section. Husky I think still sells a ball bearing 3 drawer that is decent for the price. Basically a ball bearing version of my old Craftsman ones. Husky

    Axle Nut Socket Set (automotive)

    I have the HF one. I am strictly a home gamer, but it has been used on at least 4 vehicles in the last 6 months, with no complaints. I picked it up with a coupon, and have been quite happy with it. Been using it on Mopar and Fords.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    Was taking the A/C compressor off my hemi and realized my small set of specialty sockets did not include any e-torx below 10. Short notice discovery so quick run to HF for their Pittsburgh set. Bought the impact one too, just in case. Spent about $22 for something I will probably use twice.

    Is 3/8" Pneumatic Impact Still Relevant?

    DIY home gamer here. I still use air, and a couple cordless tools. I have no Milwaukee stuff though - price point is above my budget. Most of my air tools I got on clearance over the years, a mix of Craftsman, Kobalt and HF. Just this weekend I was working on a camshaft and lifter repair on my...

    Craftsman 26in Side Cabinet.

    I have been looking for a Craftsman side box for years. They were not super common, and when you do find them they command a pretty penny. Craftsman hasn’t made them for years so ebay/CL/FB is about your only hope. I wanted one since the Craftsman ones are smaller, and I envisioned using those...

    2 Ton Aluminum Racing Jack: Pittsburgh vs. Daytona?

    Would this work? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pwb-620471?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-tools&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkqSlBhDaARIsAFJANkgC_wlsmEH4dLcDRyLEZiaA8V67KRMzjTM20z-Hu8BGwBDiuw7X0JwaAlqGEALw_wcB Depending on your cars it may or may not fit under the jack point without first jacking the car a...

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    I have had that happen before as well. Their system will give you the lowest price - %off list or the ITC, but you have to tell them about the %off coupon. I had to go a couple times over the holiday. Needed a new exhaust cutter, and theirs was cheapest locally for what appears to be decent...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Started over Juneteenth (was a long weekend for us). Dealing with a tick in my hemi powered Aspen. Fairly positive at least one of the lifters went bad. Thought it was an exhaust leak (which it did have) but stethoscope seems to confirm lifter noise. Spent the last year or so gathering parts for...
