    The fun starts in a month or so.

    Property in my south-western Ontario neighborhood are going for 50% over asking. Across the road from me a 113 acre farm is going for $5.1 million. Crazy times.

    Milwaukee M18 Impact Choice

    I have the 1/2" stubby m12. It is my favorite. Super small and light, but strong enough to remove the lugnuts on my dually pickup(150ftlb ish). Will take off anything on a car that I've run across. The 6-amp battery helps too.

    plumber pricing?

    My mom had a 7 year old water heater die. No problem, had 10 year warranty. Just have to pay the install( more switch out, since same unit). Two guys came and went in 45 min. Billed her $700 for the switch out. What a scam!

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I have the 1/2" stubby and it removed the lug nuts on my one-ton dually no problem. I had them torqued to 150 pounds.

    New shop press "bangs" downward

    Get a set of 3/4" drive sockets. When I upgraded to a Snap-On set, I retired my Craftsman set to press duty.

    \"THE\" Watch Shop

    Re: \"THE\" Watch Shop I just bought for my 19 year old daughter a Shinola brand watch last week while shopping in Detroit. It is hand crafted right in Detroit. Hopefully she"ll have it for the rest of her life.

    Under hoist transmission jack - Bendpak/Ranger or Other?

    I'd look for a used one. I just picked up a Can-Built 2-stage that was nearly new for $150. I think their about $1000 new.

    Cars falling off lifts - why?

    I have a Challenger and the truck adapter. You need those for vehicles with a frame. My pick-up will slide right off those rubber pads due to the wax GM puts on the frame for rust pertection.

    When did Sears Canada Step Selling U.S. Made Tools?

    I tried to exchange a broken 1-1/2" 3/4 drive socket at the Kitchener Sears store recently. They said they no longer sell that size, so too bad, no warranty. Their tool selection is getting less and less. I believe none of it is made in US. Sears Canada will be out off business soon.

    Pretty large Starrett Athol 926 for sale

    That's why I was glad to pay $500. I had to drop my daughter off at college in Toronto, so on the way back I grabbed it. About 10 minutes out of my way instead of 5 hours.

    Pretty large Starrett Athol 926 for sale

    I was glad to pay $500 for it. It's NOS, never been mounted. Little bit of surface rust from storage. It weighs 205 pounds according to KBCTools. Its huge. The 6 inch jaw looks tiny on it. Using 7/8" mounting bolts. Thats an 1-3/8" socket in 3/4" drive laying beside it. Makes everything look...
