    2014 Garage sale thread!

    Went to an estate sale and then to the flea market today, found some things I was looking for. Old Monarch Vise from the estate sale for $40. I think this will clean up nicely! That was it at the estate sale but the flea market turned out to be well worth it. $5 bought these three MAC tools...

    2014 Garage sale thread!

    I stumbled onto another item today in the endless quest to "dial in"the garage. I have needed somewhere (besides a 5 gallon bucket) to store miscellaneous hardware for quite some time. Was looking on Craigslist 5 minutes after this was posted. It's a Bowman 4 drawer hardware cabinet and I got...

    Thank you, I wasn't really sure what they are called. I use those on the clamps when I'm laying black poly sprinkler lines and these are definitely an upgrade from the ones I'm using now.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I went today and got my $3 back, maybe yours it better but the piece that cracked looked like it was held together with Elmer's glue. I've had luck with many other products there but I would not recommend this one.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Mechanic's Stethoscope Item#41966 This a a product that HF built their reputation on. Complete FAIL out of the package. The threaded rod wouldn't thread into the main piece. (Thread size didn't match) Then the whole thing snapped in half at the black plastic housing.

    My local HD has the new USA-made Husky torque wrenches -PICS-

    Thank you everyone for this thread. I was in the market for a 1/2 drive torque wrench and didn't realize that the husky was once again made in the USA. I had a 25% off coupon and got out the door at a great price for a USA made torque wrench!

    2014 Garage sale thread!

    Thanks! Yes it is all real, got lucky on a lot that's for sure, hopefully my luck keeps up because I still got more in the tool budget. I've been looking for that exact snap on box for years (at a price I could afford). I was the first one at the garage sale that morning and when she said $80...
