Thinking about buying one of those portable power gizmo's. You know, they can be used to jump 12V batteries & with a built-in inverter so you can power basic small appliances such as a coffee maker, radios and such. Sears has three units that are all rated rather poorly and a Campbell Hausfeld...

I just got back from Sears and thought I would share what appears to be one heck of a deal - at my local store anyway. They have five plain brown boxes marked with P/N 15383, which is their 95 piece easy-to-read 6 point impact socket set. The boxes are marked as discontinued and damaged. The...

Does anyone know anything about the manufacturer of Mintcraft tools? I can't seem to locate a website for them. Anything good or bad to say about them? Thanks, Scott

Where can I buy a 24" made in the USA bolt cutter? Tried Northern Tool, Ace Hardware & Sears (Companion brand only), but they only carried the China stuff. We have the big box stores in town, but I really don't feel like driving all around and checking them all out. So if anyone knows of a...

Anyone have one of these? It is part number 59499 in case the link doesn't work. I have been looking at a clearanced 6 drawer roll-away cabinet but am wondering if this mobile tool cabinet might better fit the bill. However neither of my local Sears stores have it in stock, so I am a little...

Check out the link if you are in the market for any Dremel tools or accessories. Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Travers or Dremel.

I have a rough idea, but need a more thorough explanation of what it exactly is and how & why it is done. Just curious. Thanks,

I have been eyeballing the Craftsman Pro Cabinets for some time now and the prices are going to be the lowest that I have seen when the June 3-9 Craftsman Club promo kicks in. If you have your flyer, these are the cabinets in the lower left of page 12. Here is a link to the wall cabinet if you...

Just received my latest Craftsman Club flyer and on the back page they have a little blurb about how they are giving away those Cap Wrenches to the first 1,000 club members that visit www.craftsman.com/freewrench beginning on Sunday May 6th at noon CDT. You know what those Cap Wrenches are...

Maybe I didn't spell riv nut correctly, but those of you who use them know what I mean. I use a few different sized pneumatic riv nut guns at work and have been thinking about buying one for myself. Then I see an ad in the current Eastwood catalog for a basic hand held kit for around $75...

Hey, Junkies. Ho, Ho, Ho. Anyway, to the point. I have decided to build/buy a peg board type of backwall for my 6' wide workbench. (Don't know why I didn't do it decades ago.) Ideal dimensions will be 6'x22". Figure that I can build it for around $30 using a couple of 1.25"x1.25"x3' 18ga...

Yeah Baby!!! :spit: :bounce:

I have a nice 230V compressor in my off-site rental shop, but am considering a small 115V compressor for use around the house. Target currently has a Black & Decker 4 gallon, 125 PSI unit for sale through Saturday for $99. I know other manufacturers also make these smaller household units, so...

I got a soda riding on this. :beer:

It's not a cotter key, is it? For the life of me, I can't remember the exact, specific name of this type of key/pin/keeper thing.:dunno: I had two of them back out of their pins on my crane today, after the crane was serviced last Friday. :rant: So I am writing up a little something for the...

I have been considering a four-post lift for a while now and the unit that I like is the Direct-Lift Pro Park 9 Plus. However, the specs state that the lift requires a minimum of 4” of concrete with 3000 psi. So how do I go about determining the strength of my concrete. Do I have to bore out...

Maybe I was a bit hasty today, but I bought a Columbian D6 bench vice at HD. It was a display model and they replaced their Columbian models with Wiltons. So they shot me what I thought was a reasonable price and I bought it for $40. Problem is that it does not have the jaw inserts or two of...

Greg Smith Equipment has a special this month with their 6" Atlas bench vice on sale for $80. Their description of the vice is pretty vague, so I thought I would ask you guys if you know anything about the Atlas brand and more specifically, their bench vices. Thanks,

I am considering purchasing this cut-off tool & right angle die grinder kit from Northern Tool. I know that these tools are not the highest quality, but before I drop the big bucks on some quality tools, I thought I would play around with these and see if I really have a need for the better...
