$2 each with this Husky set of 30: I really like the stubbies. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-SAE-MM-Ratcheting-Wrench-Set-with-Stubby-30-Piece-H30PCRWPOUCH/305011099 I also got a Gearwrench set of extra long ones from Canadian Tire on sale a while back. Highly recommended.

Amazing score on the axes/hatchets NJ Marty!

Thank you! I just snagged a pair of 5" Knipex cobra pliers and pliers wrench. Everyone has been raving about these so it was a good opportunity to try them out.

I’d vote for #2. It would allow a longer, fatter wedge and hold the head on much better.

Thanks for posting this. It's a great deal. Getting a set for my brother (a non tool guy) so he can work on his bicycle more and have a core set that should fulfill most average user needs. He "lost" the last tool box and socket set that I gave him so let's hope this takes! Free shipping makes...

Post Apocalypric Investor discusses these generic German boxes he finds for 1-2 Euros each at his local German scrapyard, here at 2:55 and 3:30 and 10:10

Bay Area parking can be brutal. Not as bad as downtown Philly in the early 2000s, nor NYC in the 80s, but still. The car break ins in the late 80s early 90s were so annoying I built a plywood wood lock box in the back of my VW Rabbit, re-forced with sheet metal, while I lived in downtown...

I just got this set of 30 ratcheting wrenches at Home Depot for $60, includes some stubbies. I got it just for the stubbies and plan to give the rest of the set away as a present. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-SAE-MM-Ratcheting-Wrench-Set-with-Stubby-30-Piece-H30PCRWPOUCH/305011099 Husky...

Samuel Hearne explored overland passages for 32 months in the late 1700s from Hudson Bay to the Arctic Ocean with First Nations people in the area (Cree, Chipewyan, Dog Rib). Hearne found that the 4 most important tools of these people to survive in this austere and demanding environment, and...

I thought his was an interesting discussion of some German tools: EDIT: This link has a good discussion on the origin of traditional German tool manufacturer names (Dowidat, Hazet, Geodore, Rahsol, Stahlwille) starting after 20-21 minutes. The names are contractions of combinations of the...

Are the Chinese versions really that bad? Sounds like a good deal for decent 7amp grinders. Educate me. Also, if there is an equivalent deal by Metabo, let me know. It’s an additional 25% for taxes and shipping to my address. ~$62.50/ea. These Metabos are $39 and free shipping via Amazon...

Good tip. I’ve seen those around but didn’t know their intended use. Now I do. Is that English model better than the Knipex version for nail removal?

Yes, my friend is a smart, cautious guy. But since he is doing 75% of all the labor on his house, I suspect he had become a little casual with “one quick cut” on the table saw as he’d probably done thousands of cuts before without incident. Having protective glasses mounted ON TOP of the on/off...

Last week, a friend who is building his own house was ripping a board on his table saw and hit a nail. A nail fragment flew into his eye, directly through the pupil. He could see blood dripping down the INSIDE of his eyeball from his affected eye. CT scan showed a chunk of metal by his retina...

Yes, the Queen Lane campus of Medical College of Pennsylvania- Haneman University, now Drexel. Formerly Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the insight Lugz into the triangular side stiffener stamp. If I go back to get it it will be my first Kennedy. alinc100, thanks for explanation of the model numbers. Very straightforward. ALLFAST, the box I saw in the store was very smooth so I bet your grandfather’s version can...

No drop down front access panel on the Sherman-Klove toolbox.I posted a few more pics on the vintage toolbox thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8738416 Interesting comments about Germantown Tool Works, Lugs! Small world but I lived in Germantown/East Falls for 4...

A few recent finds include an SK toolbox, a full tang Bridgeport Boy Scout hatchet, 3.3lbs of 30d nails for $1 and a Wiha T20 T handle for $0.50 (my first Wiha item!), and a Germantown Tool Works shingling hatchet, among other useful items.
