I just bought a couple of these stick lights, like most milwaukee lights they're heavy duty. It's too bad they don't use the 12 volt platform , but so far that's my only complaint. They're on sale for 79$ at hd but had to order as none were in the store. Has a super strong magnet and a hook...

Apparently blue, black and red are harbor freight best sellers and yellow and orange are the worst. This of course is based solely on the sale prices shown.

Saw this in HD figured I'd get one and see if there is a use for it. At first look I like it, not sure why, it will fit easily in the atvs or s x s. The question is what will it do that a sling and steel shackle won't. The problem is I want to get a few more looks good in the tow kit bag? Well...

Needed a set of dollies to move stuff around the shop so I bought a set from Merrick. First off they're made in the USA so that's a nice bonus, second you can tell they're heavy duty just by the weight of the box. Probably twice as heavy as hf dollies with better casters. I used three to move a...

I just tossed the HF Chicago electric one, every time I go to use it I have to disassemble and clean. I guess for 20 bucks it was ok, now looking at the Ingersoll rand 125A or maybe try the better one from HF? It's one of those tools that's nice to have when you need it. My air is clean...

Just saw this hydraulic table by Felder, looks nice but 2k$ to lift 660lbs. Really makes the HF one seem like a bargain...

So we all love our cordless tools, can't beat the convienance of no cord. However the down side is all these charges need to be plugged in. In a busy site we can have 20 or more charges, so now I'm installing these temp panels to accommodate all the charges. The good thing is less cords but now...

New drill press needed a new table for woodworking. Had some 5/8" Baltic birch with laminated top, great material for shop jigs. Simple table with aluminum t track for fence and accessories, added some thumb bolts to lock the table in and make it easy to install and remove.

I bought a Grizzly G7948 back in 03, seemed like a nice press for the money. After Grizzly replaced a lot of parts I got it drilling reasonably well, just not perfect. Always planned to replace it and I did, sold it and picked up a lightly used powermatic 1150. Really want a pm1200 but...

So basically this is about finding tools from the past that are still new and unused. Luckily there are still lots of new old stock tools around and i buy plenty. Today i was totally surprised when an ebay buy arrived, once i saw the original shipping box i had a good feeling. Opened up to find...

I’m sure more than a few of us have gotten to the point where you fill up your shop and have no room to work. My home shop is about 650sq ft with a small loft storage area, but it’s full, no room to work. What’s worse is it’s all good stuff, no garbage or junk, nothing i want to get rid of. It’s...

As of today I'm looking to replace my 30 yr old craftsman 33 gal 6hp compressor. For light duty it's served well, but I've rebuilt the heads a few times, runs very hot for continuous duty work. Now the hard part what to replace it with, I would like to do some light blasting so probably 15cfm...

After 30 years years of service I think it's time for a new compressor. Without trying to measure the steel thickness or scope it i think it's time to scrap it. Not sure what the normal life span is but I don't want to spend any money on an old dog. Not sure if the tank is still good, should I...

I know Wright tools has been around a long time just never had any, till now. In searching for a good set of 8 pt sockets I came across a set from Wright, give them a shot. After a little research I see everything but adjustable wrenches are US made, which is great. They seem to cater more to...

Well even though they are a Chinese owned company it's still good to see them not only manufacture here but source the materials domestically also. I'm not a big fan of there current hand tools but I will give these a try once they are available, sounds like early 23.

While searching for the next tool to buy it occurred to me i don’t have a belt grinder. At the present i don’t plan on making knives but that may change so I’d like to get a good one. I know on forged in fire they use a TW90, Pheer also makes a nice one for 1/2 the price. As a starter Grizzly...

Love em or hate em they do have some cool stuff. I have a couple Pittsburgh 3/8 x 1/4" ratchets that I use allot, keep one in multiple boxes, just easy. I'm sure other brands make them but this was like 6$. It's fine tooth, reversible, and quick release plus it works great. What other hf tools...

I was just at home depot and noticed all the estwing hammers marked down. I hope there not moving production out of usa, I'd really hate to see an estwing made in China. Or maybe hd is just phasing them out, I bought a bunch just in case, plus the price is great. Hopefully it's just a hd thing.

I’m in Home Depot and see the dewalt rep, i asked her when the 5ah powerstack batteries are being released, she said January 23. Having bought a bunch of the small ones which work really well with their atomic line, it would be nice to have a more powerful version. She said their real world...

In these crazy times there are still some good values to be had, even with tools. I buy a lot of tools as a contractor and they see rough use and abuse, but this ryobi bit set is still only 15bucks. The bits fit the fasteners well, really haven't broken any bits and if the guys lose the whole...
