    Is their a HF Price Tracker

    I noticed that at least one of the prices is incorrect. the Bauer version of the Rockwell Jawhorse is not $122. It's only $99 on clearance and half the price of the Jawhorse. Too bad I don't need any...

    I also have that little silver box you have there. T-190SV. I used it for a first-aid kit for awhile but a HyFin mini chest seal is a little too big to lay flat in it, so now I use it to hold backup hard drives. It's basically EMP-proof...probably. I like that it's just two pieces of...

    I thought I'd give a brief review of my hip roof Trusco toolbox. It is model Y-410 and cost about $45 from Amazon. I'll compare it to model ST-350, which is a cantilever box that costs about $65 from Amazon. They Y-410 is a very basic box with internal dimensions of 16.5" x 6" x 3" With a...

    You are correct. I have two Trusco boxes from Amazon and got free shipping with Amazon Prime. The issue I have is that it was advertised as "75% off" on Prime Day and I bought it with that understanding. I looked to see if it was a third party seller but it seemed like it was actually Amazon...

    I thought I should update this with a warning. My tool box shipped but at a total cost of $40, not $10. Amazon charged $30 in shipping which really surprised me. So much for a good deal.

    With a name like Toyo, you better buy one of these Toyo Steel re-brands for ten bucks! I have a couple other models I like a lot. Here's another crazy deal on a cantilever model. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002A5VXWM/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Looks Like It's Going to Be Another "Made in America" Failure to Me

    Well said! I think the higher initial pricing reflects "early adopter" sales. You can do that with brand recognition, just like the next PlayStation or iPhone. If your child or spouse likes Milwaukee tools, you may buy them the pliers as a gift, without worrying about an extra $5 or $10...

    Who makes good wrench rolls?

    I use this Arsenal roll for my big wrenches that go up to 32mm. Seems good quality to me. One or two pockets are a little tight but that's fine. These are Craftsman Industrial/Napa Pro/ Allen/Armstrong wrenches. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013GAA1O/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    DeWalt leather tool pouches have a sale going. Not an amazing Hot Deal, but the leather thickness and quality seemed better than I expected from a company that doesn't specialize in it. https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-Electrician-s-Tool-Pouch/1003095668...

    Well said. Just because one (US) management team could pull their act together, does not mean that all (US) managers are hopeless and incompetent. US, Japanese and German managers are generally rated as the best. https://www.nber.org/papers/w17850...
