    HOT DEAL Index!!

    Same experience today with the $10 off tool purchase coupon from Sears (expired when they scanned it), this cute cashier rang everything up separately for me and got me 3 manager's overrides. :) The first Sears I went to the cashier told me that it was expired (I pointed out the valid dates)...

    Corded impact recommendations?

    Lug nuts, brakes, maybe axle nuts. If it's on the car, I'd like to be able to loosen it.

    Corded impact recommendations?

    I am looking to buy a corded impact for working on my car, but I am sure I will find other uses for it around the house. :) I would like to try and spend as little as possible but wouldn't mind paying more for a quality product. Ideally it would be under $200, but if there's a much better...

    Lisle tools

    Funny you guys mention that, I snapped the Lisle Torx bit doing the second caliper torx bolt for brakes on my dad's Audi. The HF torx bit took all 8 off with no problem.

    Company won't let him get his toolbox..

    In most office setting this is typical, don't think that your daughter did anything wrong. :beer: I work in IT and after I gave my two-weeks to my former company, they simply told me to box my stuff up and leave that same day. The fear (and it's not at all unfounded if you listen to what some...

    Installing bolts with an impact wrench?

    THIS. The first time my brother used my electric impact he somehow managed to cross thread one of his lug bolts :D Funny for me I guess, not for him

    Where have you run across external torx?

    As a shadetree mechanic, would it make sense to have a set of external torx sockets? Where have you guys run across them?

    Impact sockets for the DIYer

    Is that a new policy? The past few weeks I've warrantied 3 or 4 things (granted I buy a TON of tools from HF) without a receipt and nobody hassled me.

    Impact sockets for the DIYer

    For the weekend DIY'er my Harbor Freight impact sockets are just dandy. Granted I have an electric impact which only puts out ~325 lbs, but I cannot imagine that the sockets won't be able to handle it.

    Is this uncouth? Tool truck dilemma

    Like Frank said I would not have waited. He is selling you products, you are doing him a favor by purchasing his merchandise. If he can't even be inconvenienced to drop by and take your money I would look somewhere else.

    Recommend Ratcheting Wrench?

    I have used Pittsburgh/Harbor Freight, Gearwrench, Duralast, and Armstrong. The armstrong is my favorite, but they all work fine.

    Can somebody recommend a good corded drill?

    It will be used for stuff around the house for drilling wood, maybe once or twice a month. I've found the following, I have a Black and Decker drill my parents bought in 1994 and it still works perfectly (it was U.S. made!), and now I'm looking for one with variable speed. After some quick...
