Any opinions on these? Are the HF ones fine, or should I go with a name brand? Going to be used in my home shop to whack out dents. Thanks...

Just wondering. Never used one before. I've used ball peen, nail hammers, framing hammers, and rubber mallets, but never dead blows. Thanks

Can someone tell me why I need hex sockets (sockets with six sides for the bolt heads or nuts) when the multipoint ones seem to fit everything? My Craftsman mechanics tool kit came with multipoint, hex, and some other stranger ones (look like a star), and I've only used the multipoints. I'm...

I have two of those industrial grade, HF, 11 drawer tool chests. Like them a lot. I need more storage, so I'm debating buying a third chest, or adding a couple of top boxes to the ones that I own. http://www.harborfreight.com/red-roller-cabinet-top-chest-68787.html This unit shows up as an...

Just came across this post on another site. http://www.hobartwelders.com/weldtalk/showthread.php?45479-New-Handler-140 The Hobart 500500 model that is the original Handler 140, is on sale at Tractor Supply for $469.99, marked down from $499. I was just about to run into the store to buy one...

Aside from Snapon and Mac, who makes a decent quality set of 3/8 hex sockets? Need metric and standard. Don't want Harbor Freight junk, but would rather not pay Snap On prices. Advice? Thanks

Just received the coupon book from HF, with a 25% coupon usable on Sunday. Think it's time to buy the 2 ton shop crane.

I received my first Harbor Freight flier in the mail today, and started nosing through the pages looking for some deals. After seeing a number of items with decent discounts, I came across the ramps that I bought when I needed to unload my toolbox. The "sale" price in the flier was the normal...

I thought I saw a post here about a Craftsman Impact driver (one of those tools that you whack with a hammer to loosen fasteners). Does anyone have the part number on what I'm supposed to order or the post that raves about the item? Also, where is the best place to monitor Craftsman coupons or...

I'd be interested in hearing what tools are so indispensable that you couldn't live a day without them? I ask there might be things out there that would be useful to people, but they either don't know that they exist, or don't know how they could be useful. Here's my list: Estwing Framing...

How to get a Harbor Freight 56 inch box off the truck. I just bought a Harbor Freight 56 inch, 11 drawer, Industrial tool cabinet. It's not Snap On, but it's much nicer than most of the other tool cabinets on the market. Here's how to get it off of your pickup truck and into the house without...

I bought a Craftsman tool kit that I've been pretty happy with. I bought the socket racks with handles where the sockets snap into metal clips. I'm not thrilled with the concept. What do people use to organize sockets? In fact, can people post things that they like to use to keep their...

I happened to be nosing around Harbor Freight, and came across a wheeled tool chest. 11 drawers, industrial design. $799. The other chests felt really cheesy, and seemed junky, but this one seemed very solid. Heavy gauge steel, drawers that seemed heavy duty, heavy duty castors and a nice...
