Another older customer was eyeing everything, but he kept...

    Benchmark Abrasives - USA Drill Bits?

    It might be my old eyes playing tricks on me, but I swear the drill bits coming from that benchmark blurb above say they are good for drilling in wood, furniture or plastic and other soft materials and lite metals, sounds like they are made out of tin foil and Swiss cheese if I am reading them...

    Ridgid 15 Ga Nailer...Am I Crazy?

    Funny story because I'm always on the lookout for nail guns that work, problem is no air supply to test them most times before I buy any, this is the fun part as I am finding small boxes of brand-new nails for not much money, and those suckers are expensive new.

    Gedore India tools. Opinions?

    Ok, Every country in this world can "ALL" make fantastic quality tools, the best of the best as good as the likes of even snap-on, but do people want to lay out top dollars for that quality, when say, they can buy brand b,c,d or e, for a much cheaper price and hands down quality goes out the...

    Gedore India tools. Opinions?

    Op great question, hope I can answer it for you today. Back two thousand years ago, well maybe early 1970's we had tool tent sales with their famous guarantee of why yes, it's called the good car warranty, sounds good to me right. What they left off was the moment you drove away in your car NO...
