I just noticed that the made in China SK adjustables are $42 list price with the old USA models (factory seconds?) still prices at $8. I guess the new owners think they can get a lot of brand recognition out of the SK label. For now, my money's with the Japanese Lobster brand. Noticeably...

Mine is the same. It's not a terrible wrench, it's totally usable. But the older USA Crescent and modern Japanese Lobster/Lob-Tec examples are nicer. Sad to see the decline in USA quality, but not a bad purchase for $8. Somewhere along the line, American companies put less emphasis on...

My first Garage Journal-inspired purchase in a couple of years. Thanks!

Never mind this guy. Nice tool!

I bought the 6ft table about 3 years ago on sale for $350. Now it's $370. I would recommend picking it up if you need a desk or workbench. I use mine everyday as a computer desk. Mine came with a warning not to let water sit on it, because the matte finish was apparently not great. No...

I think that's "they are as large as the the little finger of the hand." Como has multiple meanings.

These are their entry-level offerings (except for maybe the cobras). They will not be as good as the insulated, professional electrician's pliers. Although the cobras might not have the same tiers of quality.

Knipex are on sale as you say. Shipping is $15 for me, but if I had to go to the store to grab something, some Knipex would come home with me. When I put it in the cart, it said the price was good until Feb 9, which seems too good to be true.

People on GJ were loving these Carlyle screwdrivers when they went on sale for about $25 years ago. Now they're on sale for $45 today. The regular price on Google is $76. I guess the brand is too well-established for smoking deals like the old days. But oh well. 5 Bucks a pop isn't bad...

There's no substitute for quality time!

Congratulations!

Someone recommended a small bag like this that can fit on the bottom shelf of a stroller. As a man, who needs a bottle to feed a baby, I think I still want something that can hold a bottle. But maybe I can let my son have a bottle next to him in the stroller and travel light.
