    Which Workbench stool is best?

    I just got a Gladiator 6" adjustable maple-top workbench. I want to get a comfortable stool so I can sit and relax while I do my thing. Does anyone have a recommendation? I really would like something with a seat back, and hydraulic height adjustment. I weigh 200+ lbs., so some weak candy...

    Gladiator workbench size - 4' or 6'?

    I am going to get either a 4' or 6' Gladiator Maple top adjustable workbench for Father's Day. I am trying to decide which length. I live in a beach community where homes are side by side, and I have a 2 car garage that I can barely fit two cars. To allow for tool chest(s!), washer and drier...

    Zoro 25% Coupon - Zoro is not worth the hassle!

    I am getting really fed up with Zoro's horrific website and their ridiculous search engine. It is near impossible to find anything. Their search engine *****! I could not find Wera stubby screwdrivers, so called Zoro, and they did a search, and I was told they did not carry them. When I...

    Opinions about Hitachi 9 piece 18v set

    Does anyone have the 9-piece 18 volt Hitachi combo set? I have the Makita 18V drilldriver/impact white/black set, and am 100% satisfied with the performance, but this is available, new, for $450.00, which is a killer price. Still, I don't want junk, and $450 is $450. I know the drill/driver...

    Milbar vs. SK Safety Wire Pliers

    I want to buy a set of Safety Wire pliers for the silly task of spinning (or rather unspinning) those twist ties that hold kid toys to the cardboard. I have a six year old son, and find myself doing this chore by hand several times a week. Using slip joint or Cobra pliers to do this spinning...

    What the heck is a flagdriver?

    Flagdriver: The limo driver for politicians with the flags in the corners of the vehicle? I came across these Torx flagdrivers while looking for Wera stubbies. They look cool, and obviously are used to screw Torx screws somehow, but what exactly are they and how do they work? I looked up...

    Knipex Cobra Pliers; if you have a set, do you need alligators too?

    I have a set of Knipex Cobras; 7" ergo , 10" high voltage, and 12" ergo handles. I have seen some great deals on Alligators lately. Is there any reason, other than to have more tools, to also have a set of Alligators, or would they be redundant? I use them for household and automotive...

    Woot gets a lot of attention here and frequent postings in the Hot Deals section. In fact I found out about Woot from GJ and have made about 30 purchases from them.
