Pliers wrenches generally have smooth jaws, and act more like an adjustable wrench. Not really pliers persay. The two aren't really interchangeable. That being said, I've found the leverage applied by pliers wrenches to be surprisingly high. Also, you don't have to squeeze both handles and...

I have multiple Milwaukee brushlesss m18 tools that I've purchased. my father has multiple dewalt tools that he was given through work. He always comments how milwaukee's lineup and sales prices are always. Enter and wish he had been given red. I've abused the heck out of my Milwaukee impact...

First of all, I daily drove my 72 nova for 9 years, I just recently retired it to part time...because my '67 pickup is back on the road. might not be a 69 camaro, but it shares a LOT of the same parts, so some of us still need that worthless SAE junk. Heck, my car kit regularly finds itself...

For metric I'd want to go to at least 32mm. I bought the 10-38 tekton set for my home. Buying a larger set is usually more affordable than buying a smaller set plus 2 or 3 large sockets later when you need them--and if you buy all at once your OCD won't get to you. 🤣 As for impacts, I've added...

I've been in propane distribution and sales for 13 years. We have over 20,000 propane tanks on lease to residential and commercial customers. Don't go with propane, if natural gas is an option. Natural gas is 100% the way to go. Monthly expense will be lower. Resale will be higher. You'll...

Discountramps dot com has some very nice aluminum ramps. The 1500lb capacity (per ramp) for low profile cars is on sale for $359.

If you're just blowing off dust and inflating a tire or two, is just buy a cheap pancake compressor and call it good. Portable, compact, and plenty adequate. It's nice to pressurize it then walk across the yard to the shed to air up the mower, or down to the neighbors to help with a low tire. I...

Well, my FedEx package from MDS finally arrived. All 14 pliers/cutters accounted for. As mentioned, some of the packaging showed some age, but tool condition is flawless.

Another vote for Harbor Freight / US General. It's a lot of toolchest for the money. I've got two of their 44" rolling chests, and one extra side box (early models) that are 6yrs old or so, and FULL. Never a problem. They run $599 retail, but go on sale fairly often for much less. My local...

Got the email as well. 5-12% increase will mostly likely only cover the increase in shipping costs (since they offer free shipping). Kudos to them for giving us a heads up!

In the same boat. Just ordered Wera at the advice of several friends and this forum. Check out the project Farm screwdriver comparison video on YouTube as well...

Man, 20 years ago I was a die hard Napa man. However it seems like all their parts, pretty much across the board, have become lower quality. Most of what they sell can be purchased elsewhere under the mfg name for less $ (doorman, Monroe, moog, federal mogul, etc). Frankly, I'm tired of...

Saw this in store on Friday, hit up a few forums and Amazon reviews, and ultimately put it back. Too many complaints about not clicking, or giving no indication at all that the torque setting had been reached. Those thatdodnhave working units seemed happy COO Taiwan. Price drop is also...

I've been wearing mid height steel or composite Keen for many years. I'm on concrete and rock all day 55-70hrs a week. I wear them often after hours and weekends as well What most people don't know is they have a variety of foot beds. Most of their work boots ship with the "utility" footbed...

Go to your local junkyard. I just swung through ours this week. They've got pallet racking FULL of all types of OEM jacks. I bet there's at least 300. $5 if it's rusty and cruddy. $10 if it still looks new and has the handle/rod. Most of them look brand new, straight out of the car. Let's face...

FYI, you can set up free accounts with both UPS and FEDEX. Provide your name and shipping address and THEY will alert you when a package is picked up with your address, and when it will be delivered. They also allow you to alter the shipment by selecting a vacation hold, or pickup at a local...

That right there is all you need to say. FedEx is REALLY dropping the ball lately. I ordered from Tekton Dec 20, and on December 26 FedEx texted that my package was out for delivery. That evening I got a second text stating my package was delayed. It has sat at the distribution office in my...

Not always, but there's a strong correlation with many, many things. But look at water based paint on cars of the 90's and 2000's. It was a "green" change, and left every dodge and Chevy with peeling paint. Look at any water based or oil "immersion" decking stain, vs the old achooo high voc...

No, I'm aware of at least 5 different blends of brake cleaner from CRC and I most certainly was not referring to chlorinated vs non chlorinated. They have chlorinated and non chlorinated, they have Low VOC, NO VOC, SCAQMD compliant, 50 state compliant, certified non flammable, etc. It goes...

That's zero VOC Maybe that's all that's legal in your area, but in my experience the zero VOC version doesn't clean as well
