As noted, the backward compatibility of their batteries is great. Ive been given old blue ryobi stuff and it works with my new batteries. Wish more companies did this. For my homeowner needs they've proven to be a worthwhile investment.

Shipped today, expected arrival next week.:thumbup:

It is always good to add a new perspective to the group, welcome. This place is a wealth of knowledge, contribute what you can, your knowledge and experiences I have no doubt will be of use to someone out there!

this is something similar to a search I was about to start for torque screwdriver recommendations for similar tasks. perhaps those that see this may have some suggestions. thanks for posting the questions OP, I too am curious about them.

first and foremost, glad to hear that although it's been a journey, you're on the mend after some time. Life is a marathon, not a sprint, keep the faith and plugging away day by day. Your shop looks great, love the layout and your boxes. I wish you happiness and health in 2026, keep us update...

Was using one of these over the weekend to heat the garage space at my rental. Had the double bay garage door open roughly 3 feet high and still found myself suffering from the effects of CO. Immediately **** everything down, door fully opened and I went inside to allow it air out. Gave me a...

new valve cover installed on the passenger side to stop a spark plug tube leak. couldn't figure out where the oil was going with no signs of leak or spots underneath. a royal PITA, but it's done thankfully. Surprisingly the whole job required only a flat head, a p2, a 10mm socket, 4, 6, & 8...

It is a terrific time of year to be looking. Father's Day too, but I'd recommend taking a ride to your local stores and go checking out the deals. You will likely find a kit with all the "fixins" you're looking for. +1 on the Ryobi stuff, for the mentioned swap ability of the batteries...

Welcome to GJ. great find, that will be a workhorse for you. cheers.

@Dave455, thanks for your detailed response.:thumbup:

Rather than posting a new thread, I'll bump this one with the same question, what's the go to answer 14 years later? I've got a ratcheting screwdriver, who do we recommend for bits? thanks for answers in advance, looking to chip away at some christmas shopping.

ironically, yes!

A cousin has an 18 wheeler full of jacks. Hundreds of them spanning likely 100+ years of technological advancements. I need to get photographs and some video the next time I visit. It was astonishing seeing so many different types in one place. Jacks for cars to buildings and much more in...

ended up breaking a flat head tip right on its corner ever so slightly. Not sure where to warranty it, as craftsman doesn't make these professional screwdrivers anymore. can't believe its been 11 years, wow.

Back for another exciting go around!

I've seen this on craigslist as well. Years ago I snagged a dale jr box combo from a reasonable guy, $300 bucks. he told me he saved it out of a dumpster from a house he was doing the tile work on that had a bunch of other contractors doing a gut job after the homeowner died and the son sold...

bumping an old thread, what is your go to today 7 years later? looking to replenish my stash, thanks.

Very cool reading that story. As a local to that area myself, this was really neat and fun reading. Was hanging in Hampden today! I'll have to start keeping my eyes peeled for one of these at tag sales in the area. There is a lot of history in Springfield, MA making tools. Moore Drop...

this thread is great, very glad I saw it on the main page and came along for the ride. I'll keep checking back for updates, keep up the great work. stay safe, be well.

looks to be China made, but for $20 bucks I figured it was still a decent buy. Any ideas on history, age, maker etc.
