Some of the Olights are a good deal at 30% off (Amazon and Olight.com prices) on the Olight Ebay store if you don't feel like waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to roll around again. Just picked up a Perun 2 mini to keep my Baton 4 company...

Since joining GJ 5+ years ago not only have I upped my game in tools, but have also started slowly investing in higher quality shop consumables. Please help me up my game in this area :) What's the good stuff?!?

Lots of threads on warranty experiences lately. Both good and bad. Sometimes warranty is non existent. Curious where GJ members see warranty as actually important? Am I in the minority who doesn't give a $hit about hand tool warranty all that much? Looking back at the last 10 years of my...

The older I get apparently the lazier I get and the less inclined I am for manual labor. Dragging logs with a come along got me thinking about a Warn drill winch which led me to contemplating about making my own portable winch setup. The price tag on the Warn drill winch and low capacity <750...

Thought I learned my lesson with multiple maglites dying from leaking alkalines, but realized my clamp meter has now fallen victim :(. The cheap ******* in me fell out of its seat realizing Energizer AA Lithiums are $2 + a cell now. Doesn't look like there are any alternatives from Kirkland...

They might have brought back (some of) the clearance deals?!? https://vimtools.com/product-category/close-out-deals/ The 3/8 roto ratchet seems like a good deal for $20, although I swore it was cheaper when I bought mine in early 2021...

Found the drill press of my dreams a month or so ago.... Clausing 1766 variable speed. Am slowly in the process of getting it into semi good working order with tolerable runout and a motor that doesn't smoke itself. Motor has already been replaced with a 1140 RPM unit after realizing a loose...

GJ strikes again and convinced me I need scaffolding to avoid an ER or undertaker visit. Buying makes perfect sense as always. To be honest am a bit overwhelmed after reading the various threads and product reviews. Am planning to use the scaffolding for these primary purposes: Storage in my...

Hi GJ, am looking into adding a 1/4 digital torque wrench to the tool collection in the near future because why not? I think I have given up on getting lucky on a CDI via Amazon warehouse. Have been pretty happy with my 1/2 HF Quinn Eclatorq rebrand. Unfortunately they do not have a 1/4 one...

Wondering if anyone has any experience with these type of tools. Was looking at these a long time ago, back when Tite-reach was the only game in town. Now looks like there are some good alternatives. Planning to run mainly with my M12 and Astro stubby 3/8 impacts for "typical" DIY usage...

Another quarter with pretty disappointing deals. https://www.napaonline.com/en/promotions/real-deals This might be the one real deal that I might order - metric precision allen drivers ~$17 https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CHTSDSPRH5M?ref=MA== Monthly deal - Fujiya Pliers Wrench still $23...

Hi GJ, have a bit of a love/hate relationship with my 8 hp billy goat yard vac. While it makes yard and street clean up a breeze, it is loud, heavy, but worst of all blows dust through the bag onto the user. A combination of sweat from manhandling the 100+ pound beast and the dust requires a...

Just wondering if you guys see anything good? The glory days from 2 years ago still seem to be long gone... https://realdeals.napaecatalog.com/Real-Deals-2Q-2021/22/ Pliers wrench is still $23 Also find it funny that Napa is now pushing Milwaukee OPE = outdoor power equipment like the string...

Realizing one of my favorite tools to use are spinner handles, aka extensions with a built in screwdriver handle. Having trouble finding the perfect spinner handle in 3/8. Understand from some searches that VIM used to make some, but they appear to be discontinued. Can GJ help me spend some...

Just a heads up looks like some items are hitting their lowest prices per the Camel or close to it. Sunex 1848, 1/4 Inch Drive Master Impact Socket Set Sunex 2611 1/2-Inch Drive Extra Thin Wall Deep Impact Socket Set...

Dropped from $939 to $693 in less than two days after I ordered :mad: Both love and hate Amazon pricing algorithms. Anyways this would be good for all of the Norcal folks who are having their power shut off this weekend and are going to learn the hard way. At least the generator will arrive...

Just found some reasons to give more money to Napa as I took a quick spin through the Q1 2019 Real Tool Deals Heard good things on GJ about Carlyle 72 tooth ratchets so ordered the spark plug ratchet for $30, think I saw this for it least double this last quarter. Although Vessel screwdrivers...

Trying to be hero dad by upgrading my kid's power wheels escalade with a hall effect pedal so bought a speed controller and a pedal off of amazon. The only issue is that I can't figure out how to wire the 3 wire pedal into the 5 wire speed controller :headscrat My layman's understanding is...

First time post, long time lurker. I am going to start off by blaming all of this on my 3 year old as he needed his 12v Power Wheels overvolted to go a little faster... Long story short, his dad was not smart enough to incorporate a circuit breaker/fuse so something bad happened when smoke...
