I just completed a compressor/condenser replacement on a truck and found that I am lacking in impact extensions and adapters. I got the job done but it would have taken less time if I had had some adapters and extensions. I've been shopping around for an affordable set and stumbled across an...

As the title says, I am looking for "best value" recommendations for a set of both 1/4 and 3/8 inch impacts. I have a fairly extensive set of 1/2 inch impact but nothing in the other sizes. I guess that I've never needed them before. I am strongly considering a set of metric sets from both...

My question relates to needing to buy new tools. If you need a new set of ratchets (just an example) where do you typically go if: a) You need them NOW? b) You can wait a bit? For me, if I need it now I run to a local store like HF. If I can wait, I will usually shop around online...

I am seeking recommendations on a pneumatic impact for a family member. He has started a new job at a local shop and he needs an impact. The shop recommended that he purchase his own impact for daily tasks such as tire rotations. I am looking for a "best value" recommendation for a 1/2" impact...

In the past, when removing/replacing hose clamps, I've always just used a standard pliers. Now that I am older and have less blood to shed I've decided to procure a set of pliers to make the job easier. I've got my eyes on a few sets at Amazon...

Would appreciate any advice on the "best value" in an A/C Manifold Test Gauge Set for homeowner auto use. The set will be used at my home to check high/low pressures on my vehicle A/C systems and to top them off as-needed. The set will be used infrequently (1-3 times/year). I can pick up a...

I currently have a Carrier system installed in my house (Florida). The system was installed in 2010 and, for the most part, has been running fine ... and i wish to keep it that way. I am trying to be proactive by purchasing a spare cap for it. The problem is that a few years ago the originally...
