My Makita stuff has been around a long time. I've got a 7.2v drill/driver that put in thousands of screws and used as an occasional hammer, never broke. Still have it, but as you can imagine a 30 year old nicad battery isn't much more than a door stop now. I might repower it, was a great sized...

I got a set of channel lock flush cutters for work, used daily, forget how long, but I ended up with a handle snapping on them mid job. Overall I was satisfied with them, but don't cut electrical cords with them, I suspect that hastened their demise. #758. Being mid job I saw milwaulkee "flush...

Googling crosscut pliers, first time I've seen a linesman style plier with a crosscut. Not sure how I feel about those in a linesman variation given the heavier things I tend to cut with a conventional linesman.

Weld a couple wheel hubs to the side, a hinged tongue on the front to keep it out of the way, now you got a trailer when photographed or looked at.

Great link! Sure beats selecting individual store locations to see what the price is. Looking forward to it, I was thinking of picking up the middle sized one. I might have to do that anyway tommorow. =-)

This one will be very location specific, looks like only a handfull of stores still have stock and in typically Canadian Tire fashion, clearance prices are left up to the individual store. If you are in the London area and are looking for a basic old school style electricians tool pouch (no...

You'll need to uncheck the "video is private". At least you got it solved.

They have the extra long 3pc power torque branded double box end set, SAE only, on clearance $9.01 https://www.princessauto.com/en/3-pc-sae-extra-long-offset-box-end-wrench-set/product/PA0009241373 I picked up a set. The hand feel is like my 90's era extra long snapon slim, with the "sharp"...

Employees take whatever they touch first. Not like we might look for the unopened/sealed box, the undamaged box, the best looking etc.

The mismatch makes it easier to find the one you want without having to read the size.

Pocket pry bar I use a lot more than I expected to; And the heftier one I expected to use a lot more just rides on my keyring;

Or a behind the seat shovel for a pickup truck if you don't want to jam a fullsize d-handle there.
