A picture in another post of an SFS screwdriver handle caused me to remember this. I went into an adult "novelty" shop with a friend who was looking for one of those gag inflatable sheep for a bachelor party. While he was tracking down the fake mutton I browsed through the selection of toys...

Has anyone used an ebay store called Hardware Sales Inc? They have a decent price with free shipping on some Wright tools I'm after and wanted to hear any experiences with ordering from them. Thanks. Joe

I hope this hasn't been beat to death already. Most of the posts I see are about battery drills. I'm thinking about a good 3/8 corded drill. I'm not a pro and for most things my cheap old B&D works okay but I'd like something better. There is such a small selection at Home Despot and Lowes...

What am I missing here? Are these things that collectible or is this guy smoking crack? http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/tls/2149686737.html Joe

Okay, who knows the nickname for this tool? I gave these a lot of use while in the Air Force. Joe

I had to head to my parent's house this weekend for a funeral and took a stroll around my Dad's little shop. I'd been in there 1000 times since he set it up but hadn't been on this web site. My eyes have been opened! He's got a little wood working shop with mostly inexpensive but workable...

Looking at Wright vs Proto metric combination wrenches, the 7-19 set from Proto is around $100 more that the Wright. Both are fully polished. I'm looking at MSC for Proto and Royal Supply for Wright. The socket sets are very close in price. I did notice that the Wright's do not have the...

I've pretty much narrowed down my new wrench and socket purchase to Proto or Wright. Is there a consensus as to which is best or are there a broad range of opinions. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you. Joe

I'm looking to replace/upgrade my sockets and wrenches. I'm sick of Craftsman and really can't justify Snap-On although I do have about 10 of their screwdrivers. I had decided a couple of years ago to go with SK but then got distracted by other things and had not been paying attention to the...

First of all, I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse. I was just in Sears this weekend and took a real close look at the Craftsman sockets. I was very disappointed. I'm going to need to purchase some new sockets and wrenches soon and have about narrowed it down to SK or Proto. I have an...

It looks like my HF is having a parking lot sale on June 1, 2 and 3. They may be having it at all stores but I only know about the one in Columbia, MO. The ad says that the 40" roll around tool cabinet that several of this forum's members own will be on sale for $349.00. Based on all of the...

First of all, thanks for the great forum. I found this a while back and have really been enjoying reading all of the great info. I've got what is probably a very stupid question. After I wipe off my tools, what should oil them with? 3 in 1 oil? WD-40? Could someone explain some of the...
