    10 in points back on 20 dollar purchase from sears and 5 off 20 using sywr app coupon

    I'm still not seeing that in the app. I make a comment, and a coupon never shows up. Not to mention the fact that "Cart" will never actually load within the app...

    The details also clearly state 'Once per customer, per order.' Someone please take a screenshot of the coupon details next time they place an order (click the "?") next to the coupon on the cart. Evidence... Edit: got it.

    What is the next tool you want to buy?

    Saw this today, 10% off Festool Domino joiners and accessories: http://www.festoolproducts.com/festool-domino-sale-s/358.htm As for what tool I want to buy next, I'm not sure. I'm fairly certain, however, that the tool I will buy next will be from a garage sale. Consistently finding good...

    Ramblur, I know that was from a long time ago, and that it wasn't your box (you noted that it belonged to a friend), but any updates? Did your friend ever restore this thing?

    Built-it-myself tools/machines - show us what you've done

    Would still need bearings (or rollers) though, and a way to keep the can in place (even if the 90° adapter stays still, the spinning can will want to roll in circles, and very quickly.

    Mystery Tool Of The Day

    Thanks for the ID on that last one, here's another. This time, I know what it is (reversible ratcheting screwdriver), but I am curious as to who made it. It's missing a selector switch (though it has twisted wires that work fine for changing direction), but the mechanism is very sturdy for what...

    Tips & Tricks

    Re: Tips & Tricks If you don't have a bit ratchet, but need one temporarily, try this. 1/4" ratcheting wrench + neodymium button magnet + screwdriver bit = ratcheting right-angle screwdriver. Want to use a 5/16 impact driver bit? No problem! Flip over the wrench, and (as a bonus) use a 1/4...

    Help me identify a strange socket

    I don't think it was shop made, as it still had a smooth chamfer and uniform finish. The chamfer was small, but rounded and perfectly uniform. The finish was also uniform- rough and dull chrome, but it wasn't chipping.

    Help me identify a strange socket

    Thanks, I think it was a two prong antenna socket. It didn't have a hex bottom like the ones I'm seeing online, but otherwise looks to be it. Thanks!

    Help me identify a strange socket

    Last week at the flea market, I came across a strange socket. I don't remember the size or brand, but I do remember that it was somewhere between 1/2 and 1" 6-point with a 3/8" drive. It was cracked, so I didn't bother buying it, but I still am stumped as to it's exact function. Pardon the...

    Caleb T's review thread

    Good guy. Though Caleb accidentally left out a few items he first time around, upon realizing that he had done so, he immediately sent them my way, along with a bonus item. Would deal with again!

    Built-it-myself tools/machines - show us what you've done

    Here you go! I used a washer on both sides of the hole, and a nylock nut to keep it from rotating in the hole. I then chucked the end of the screw into the drill chuck (as you would a bit).
