I have a 20% code good till 5/1 only on hand tools, electrical supply, PPE, janitorial, storage and workspace, and facility & worksite safety.
PM me if you can use it. Must be a participating GJ member.
EDIT: Taken
I chuckle about how much hate they get here every time I use my RoboGrips. It's certainly not every day, but more than a few times a year.
Using them is the GJ version of driving a PT Cruiser--Serviceable, but it somehow pisses people off they even exist. :ROFLMAO:
Always wanted one of those. Around here, in the rare case one comes up for sale, it's rusty as hell, looks to have been hit by a train, and they still want $300+ for it.
I challenge anyone to show me a belt driven two stage snow thrower with a bent crankshaft.
This isn't a lawnmower hitting a curb with the blade directly coupled to the crankshaft spinning at the same high speed being suddenly and violently stopped. We're talking about a belt driven impeller...
Yes. I checked them all. They are very clearly different wrenches:
Don't know why the second pic turned sideways, but they were flat on a tabletop, side by side.
You never know what's under the snow. Have you ever had to replace a broken shear pin that was rusted solidly in place on a snow covered machine? Not fun.
Toro HDs use a heavy duty auger gearbox that is strong enough to not need shear pins. If the auger hits an immovable object, the engine...
Which ones? I just checked both of these sets (metric to metric and see to see anyway) and no two wrenches are the same:
The 12mm and 13mm seemed the closest, but the 13 was ~2-3mm longer, measured by eyechrometer.
I wouldn't take the red one for free. It looks nearly identical to the low end Craftsman homeowner stack my dad bought on clearance at Sears for $89 many years ago that I have.
It even has the same wonky drawer mine does. On mine, the slide mount is broken and not worth fixing.
Costco sold those too, and more.
My FIL was showing me the work light he bought there for $25 like he just bought the Hope Diamond at a garage sale for a nickel.
I didn't have the heart to tell him.
Tried them once, many years ago. Hated them. Either gave them away or threw them out--I cant remember. They marred fasteners and had too much play, causing issues in the scenarios where I could only get one or two teeth clicks on the ratchet. I don't own anything with spline fasteners.
I've never understood this line of thinking.
Just because one or two or even ten thousand companies in a given country are making quality products doesn't mean all companies in that country are making everything to that standard. Or any standard at all.
