Thought I would pass along an email that I received from Ridgid Tools . It would be fun to go to this convention. Probably would get a lot of free yardsticks. :thumbup:

I received a $100 gift card to Northern Tool today and have decided to buy a 3/8" drive air ratchet. Thinking that I probably want an IR brand, but which one to buy? I don't mind putting some add'l $ with the gift card, but no use in really over buying, ya know. Here is the NT selection. I...

Just thought that I would let you guys know that Simple Green freezes. I bought a 5 gallon jug of concentrated Pro Series Auto Cleaner/Degreaser for my parts washer and thought I would contact the company before I diluted it to their recommended 4:1 ratio. I am concerned because my parts...

Yeah, art, that's what I'll call it. Clickity click

cordless platform? It was mentioned in an earlier thread & now I see it mentioned in the latest Craftsman Club flyer. But I have no idea what it is. Anyone care to expound?

Today I received the latest Craftsman Club flyer & on page 10 I noticed a new item - the Craftsman Powder Coating Painting System. Since this is a new item, I doubt if many of us have had a chance to try it out, but maybe someone has. It retails for $190, but the club member price is $140 thru...

I picked up a flyer recently at a parts store for the "perfect garage workspace solution" from Hot Rod Garage by Sauder. Pretty good looking stuff, but a little too pricey for my needs. Maybe my friend at O'Reilly Auto Parts can get me some sort of discount - like, say, 50% or more. :lol:

I know the question has probably been asked a thousand times before.:rolleyes: Sorry about that, Chief. :) Anyway, I have been considering a MIG welder for some time now & ran into a little extra cash, so maybe it is time to buy. My primary use will be for an automotive resto that needs...

Sorry about that, Chief. These questions mainly have to do with using galvanized pipe or brass fittings after the filter on my compressor's piping. Question #1: I plan on installing a "tee" between the regulator and the lubricator. Two legs of the tee will connect the regulator &...

With all the talk about the different tool manufacturers, domestic & Asian, Klein Tools doesn't seem to come up very often. So let's give Klein their due. Basically all I know about them is that they are still run by the Klein family & last I knew were traded on the NYSE. From their website I...

First of all, I did end up purchasing an exact replacement pump that I was looking for in an earlier post. So far I have $53 in this free 20 gallon parts washer. And I still haven't bought the solvent. :lol: Now this may be a simple question, but I need a short piece of rubber tubing that...

My shop is a long way from my house, although it is in a fairly secure area. In fact the cops gas up their squad cars right across the street. :thumbup: I am thinking about putting in some sort of motion detector type of alarm if for no other reason than to notify the neighbors that something...

I am looking for a C-AO Model CK-101 parts washer pump, or a direct interchange. C-AO is a Taiwanese company that I can't seem to locate a U.S. distributor for. I can find the pump by doing a google, but haven't found any place to purchase a pump. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott

I know, kind of a dumb question, but what the heck. I am getting, or already am, swamped with too many wheels taking up floor space in my shop. I have 24 of them stacked under my work bench and another 11 stacked next to it. Plus I have another 8 or so that I will soon be dismounting from the...

Hi all. I am looking for a set of dial indicators & calipers/micrometers primarily for engine rebuilding use. I will have a need for a set soon, but then I could possibly go years without using them again. So in other words I am looking for good quality, but inexpensive at the same time...
