    Knipex sale

    Thanks OP, looks like some good deals. I get the pliers wrench difference, but not cobra vs. alligator. The jaws look the same, and the description talks about self adjusting for the alligator and pressing a button on the cobra. I can see the adjustment teeth (??) are very different, but I...

    Knipex, Gearwrench & other stuff at Woot.

    Don't have the 3/8 Tekton, but have the 1/4 one. Seems decent enough. It fell apart the first time I tried to adjust it, but that was me being stupid - I was used to my Craftsman 1/2"..... -Z

    Arker Meridian vise?

    Definitely worth a look, though I would think that the missing P and the good condition don't really go together.... I drove 3 hours and paid $50 for a broken Parker, so what do I know?

He had us take pics of the trench with a ruler in it, but the inspector never asked to see them. I remember worrying about covering it up and it turned...

    What a mess

    Don't do the second ground rod (assuming one at the house). You only want to ground at a single point.

    Understanding the Stanley 35W HID Spotlight

    Picked up three yesterday in Hartford, left three on the shelf. First one should be done charging soon - hopefully it works out. Mine have metal bars and a hi-lo switch (?) but maybe I'm confused. I'll have to double check the model when I get home.
