    What's a good tool set for a girl who...

    Really a craftsman set is fine for a hobbyist. Dont need anything special. Even the ratchets are fine for a hobbyist. I would think the 182 pc Craftsman set would work. Has sockets, allens, wrenches, screwdriver bits and a box. All you would need I think would be a hammer, maybe a real...

    Begining Tool Collection

    Well If your strictly asking for opinions. For all hand tools I love Craftsman. They may or may not be made in America anymore, but have a lifetime warranty. What I like about Craftsman is they are stronger in my opinion than Harbor frieght, and the grips are comfortable. I do feel the kobalt...

    When did craftsman tool boxes start to ****?

    From the best I can tell the "home owner" boxes, the ones with the lock bar in front of the drawers, have always been cheap. My dad has a 70's era box that is pretty sturdy. He also has a early 80's that is still pretty stout, but clearly it lacks some quality in comparison to his other box. I...

    which tools have you only ever bought one of and why?

    Speeder wrenches. Use them once a year maybe. With power/ air tools I dont ever use them. I think thats the only thing I have 1 of. I guess a circular too. Use it often. But not much need to have 2 or more of them really.

    What did you buy today?

    Sears has cyber Monday sale going on, so I picked up a Craftsman 40" top tool chest. It's normally $399.99 (but I am sure no one ever pays that). I picked it up for $200, should be in store for pick up in 3-5 days.

    Lets see your pry bars!

    I too am looking at this set. I have the non professional handled prybars now. I believe I have the 12", 17", 25", and the 36". But I do love the look and feel of the Professional handles. If you spend $100 you get free shipping!

    Mobile Shops-Truck Tool Boxes

    I second this. I know everyone keeps tools in their trucks, cars, and vans. I personaly keep a mini tool set with me, but its around a 100pc set. Nothing real fancy since I dont have the diamond plate truck box. But lets see some pics!

    Boiler piping schematic?

    So I have hot water baseboard heat in my house and love it. However the zone valves are getting old, the motors are leaking oil, and the lines are getting hard to purge properly. I am looking to replace the zone valves, drain valves, and the air vent to hopefully help the whole system out this...
