    2018 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    No intent to call you out and sorry if I offended. I was simply curious, that's all. But to others...calling me a "dope"...a "malcontent"...."BAN'.....for asking a question I was curious about? Seriously? Get your ******* out of a wad, guys.

    2018 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    Is there a reason you never describe what the item is in your post rather than just giving the item number?

    Anyone Have A Toolbox Liner That’s Not Black?

    This is a good solution. Do you have a restaurant/bar supply store nearby. Many of them will carry similar liners for the glass shelves many restaurants and bars use. For that matter, check with a local establishment that uses those and see if they will sell you some.

    Paint color for Craftsman tool boxes

    Anyone got a clue about the older silver looking Craftsman boxes? By the way, that red in the picture looks pretty good to me.

    Some people shouldn't be allowed to play with tools

    Do you always like to call out foreigners or is this a special occasion?

    Slip-Joint or Linesman Pliers?

    I think some of you are confusing slip-joint pliers with groove-joint pliers. But, back to the question. For general automotive, probably the slip-joint with cutter that Sevenhills1952 mentioned.

    Lowes stocking Craftsman individual tools yet?

    You can order individual Craftsman tools online through Lowes.com. If an individual can do this, I'm sure the store could too. Ask them to order you a replacement, then have them send it to you. Maybe they will do it that way? Register with them for free shipping. I think the 1/8" Craftsman I...

    You could tell him where to look it up. Apparently you were able to find it, right?

    Worx defeats Milwaukee product team

    Ok. Ok. So you got the Milwaukee packaging open. But.... We are still waiting for proof that it works (or should that be Worxs) on the Cheetos bag. That is the real test of its worthiness. So come on, where are the pictures?

    Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

    Wow! Sears has REALLY worn out their welcome with suppliers, and deservedly so. I feel badly for the employees who have already, and will continue to lose their jobs due to all the mismanagement of this company.

    Socket Markings

    I'll also add my thanks to WWheeler for his willingness to share that info. It isn't the first time he has done this good deed for the forum. My sockets are all the old USA Sears Craftsman line. My only problem with them is readability. As I've aged it has become harder to read the fine-line...

    "P-U! Why does it smell like puke in here?"

    Way to spread false info. They aren't Chnese. You may be thinking of the newer version (post WF) from Sears. The ones from SBD are made in Taiwan. That probably won't please you either though. And it isn't just the smell. As I said, they fit better in the hand and grip the screws better as well.

    "P-U! Why does it smell like puke in here?"

    Here is something I found interesting. Like many others, I dealt with the bad smell from old Sears Craftsman screwdrivers. Finally got rid of all of those a while back and replaced them with the SBD versions. Now granted, I've not had them for a long time yet, maybe a couple of months, but they...

    Metric combination wrenches - Carlyle or Sunex?

    I really think that anymore you might have to work to find actual "bad" wrenches. So, my advice is buy whatever fits your hand and your wallet the best. Both are important.

    Those are nice for sockets if the various rails don't hold the number you want or don't fit your box well.
