I like the Doyle pliers I have, and even a pair of Quinn needle nose.
I watch Project Farm all the time on youtube and it seems like Bauer beats out Hercules in his comparison videos where both lines are featured in a certain video category, which is interesting.
For electric stuff I stick...
I would find someone local who does it on the side. I have a "door guy" who use to work in installations. Now he does his own thing. $200 to switch out an interior door (plus cost of door), $100 to adjust a door and the trim. We have a house with a constantly moving foundation. :)
I'm hoping they bring them back after seeing a dip in sales. Like anything in the business it's all about the money. That was the big reason to shop there for many items. I worked there for a year and a half ending last year, and didn't see this coming at all.
Planned on going to HF tomorrow since I just got a new 20% off coupon in an email today.
I own a number of their clamps. Super cheap and lifetime warranty. Why not?
Windows are something I would like to eventually change out at my new-to-me home. House was built in 68 and has the aluminum sided windows. They all work fine, but just look dated.
Grandfather, who was a cabinet maker, told me to pick one of the windows in the back and try to replace it...
