    Grey Pneumatic First Impressions

    Decided to try a post. I consider myself a pro-sumer. I am a little bit of a tool snob and prefer USA made. I grew up in a family owned Hardware Store and that is what we sold when I was a kid. I own a small landscape company and work on small fabrication projects, trucks, and a K-5 Blazer...

    Husky34" tool box alternatives or reviews

    I inherited some Durham style drawers from my Grabdfather's family owned hardware store. After setting them up I ended up with an odd ball 34" opening under my bench. The only 34" box I can find is the Husky 7 drawer unit...

    Kobalt Service cart

    Lowe's has the Kobalt 32" 2 drawer service cart on close out for $71.60. This cart was $199.99 at my local Lowe's originally. It is hard to pass up at that price. Sturdier than craftsman, and easy to put together. It will never be mistaken for a professional box. However, outside of the...

    What is a KR1000a and KR650A worth today?

    I have searched and looked into other post, many are dated. I posted a thread about buying a new 1022 and thanks to this forum I backed out of the financing and still have a down payment burning a hole in my pocket. I found a KR1000a/KR650A combo locally for $2,200. There is a little surfface...

    Snap-On Credit Debate (school me on why not)

    I am supposed to take delivery of a black 1022 tomorrow. I have a little savings, and pay all my bills on time monthly. My job is steady. I screwed up my credit five or six years ago and I am working on fixing it. The last four and half years (since I got my current job) I have been perfect...

    Looking for an air flanger/punch

    I am for a decent flanger/punch to replace some floor panels. I know HF has one for $30, but I am trying to find something a little better. I have seen the Northern, Bulldog, Astro, Wildwood, and Sunex. I was thinking I would go Sunex for the simple reason they are the only brand I have ever...

    Which compressor for home shop, 230v not an option?

    I need a compressor for my home shop. I want a 230v but there is no way to get the power. I figured either of two below will allow me to use most impacts and general air tools, but some cut offs will max me out. I like the 100% duty cycle of the Ingersoll, but I like the high SCFM of the...

    Are these KRL boxes the right price?

    I have had about 3 boxes in the last month sold out from under me. I am getting sick of it, all three times I called the sellers from work, agreed on a price and pick up time, then when I got off it was sold. There are a few KRL boxes close to me up for sale. I like the 14 drawer Cranberry...

    Closing in my carport, sill plate water proofing tips????

    I am going to wall in my 3 sided car port. It is attached to the house and existentially a garage, but historical regulations prevented a garage door. I fenced in the yard over the driveway and I am using it as a shop, therefore I can wall it in and put in an entry door. I am using a pressure...

    Snap-On KRA4107 Box what would you pay?

    Local Craigslist has a used but decent 40" KRA4107DPC for $575 obo. The box looks nice enough, has 7, "40 inch wide drawers. I know it is a KRA and the drawers are only 18" deep, but I am thinking if I can get it for the right price, it would make a good drill press, bench grinder station.

    Harbor Freight First Impressions

    I had my first visit to a Harbor Freight store. I had my expectations set pretty low to avoid disappointment. There were some items that were as cheaply made as expected and a small few I thought were worth the price. I have a coupon for the black U.S. General 4 drawer tool cart for $100...

    New old stock Vise Grips

    Scored Vise Grips 7WR for $14, the older Made in USA versions. Had 5 in stock behind the new China junk at the local ACE in the St. Louis Area. Definitely old stock, and they had just about every style in the older, faded Made in USA packaged versions. Hope to buy one a week until I get them...

    Made in the USA?

    How does Snap-On get around putting a country of origin on the Williams stuff? I picked up a couple things on the cheap and they feel and look nice, but there is no made in... stamping on the tools. Maybe we can get a made in the U.S.A. versus assembled in the U.S.A. sticky going?
