    do you like the new Sears.com?

    It appears to be nearly unanimous! None of us like the new site. The first time I accessed that new page, I thought I had entered the wrong URL, and ended up at some fake sears site. Hands down for me. By the way when are they going to have the nice tool sale for father's day? Brad

    Home Depot or Lowes?

    What's a neignborhood hardware store? The only thing close to one, might be the local Ace Hardware. I have both a HD and a Lowes within 2 miles of my home. As others have mentioned the Lowes is much cleaner and looks better. The main reason I go to Lowes is because if I need lumber, I can...

    Synthetic or Regular Oil ???

    Namebrands are not real meaningful any longer. Just make certain whatever oil you use, it has the proper specifications required by your vehicle. Pennzoil Platinum is great as well as others. I use Mobile 1, but it has been in short supply lately. Amsoil is a high sheer oil which may not...

    No more new tools for me...

    World's shortest fairy tale: This very handsome prince asked the very lovely princess, if whe would marry him. She replied, "no." The prince lived happily ever after. Just kidding, good luck. I am certain it won't take you long to get your priorities back in order. Brad

    Sears DOD- 85% off titanium blue set

    Please pardon my ignorance, but what kind of lube are you using on the wrench? Is there a certain way to apply it? I know these kind of questions could conjure up some weird answers but I need to know. I have never lubed a wrench and my dad as far as I can remember never did either. Thanks...

    Sears DOD- 85% off titanium blue set

    At this price, I picked up a set for each of my two boys. My youngest son always loved those "blue" tools which were too expensive for Dad to buy. Thanks for the notification. This board is better than weight watchers--lightens my wallet much faster than my waistline. Brad:bounce:

    Costco Excel Tool Box Reviews

    I finally settled on the 41" matte black CSPS combo unit from Costco. The 56" Torin was sold when I went back to look today--but it was too large for my space anyway. The CSPS is not the best nor the worst, just seems mid-line. It will suit me fine for a cost of $499. Another Costco in town...

    Tool Box...Torin/HF or Craftsman??

    Tom is exactly correct. It is not advertised on the Costo website but is the same model as advertised by Northern Tools. Here is the update on the toolbox purchase. I did not end up getting the box even though it was a great price. I made the purchase and then came home last night to see if...

    Costco Excel Tool Box Reviews

    I just saw the Torin matte black 56" combo unit at my local Costco and that is one sweet tool box. The price was just as previously mentioned $699. The width might be a little large for my space. Seems to be good quality and would certainly suit my needs. The weight seems to be around 400...

    Tool Box...Torin/HF or Craftsman??

    I just bought a new Torin 56" combo unit-retail price $2000 for $699. Do you think that was a good sale? I considered the Craftsman 40 inch combo but for the same money I could not pass up the Torin. Brad
