I think the best things about option 1 is that it appears to use heavier gauge steel than option 2, and I like the embedded power strip but it's not critical.

Hey GJ, I'm looking to get (2) 6' butcher block workbenches that would first function as a kitchen island and a computer work station, and later become sturdy work benches in my garage. I'm not a tradesman but I don't like buying wobbly junk. I'm looking at the $400 price area and I have these...

This is the 120 tooth design. I don't own any but a lot guys here seem to like them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009PJPL6A/?tag=atomicindus08-20

So there's a Woot sale on large Klein wrenches. I think these are either USA or Taiwan. Does anyone know? It's about 1/2 off or the same price as Tekton. https://tools.woot.com/offers/klein-tools-1-1-4-combination-wrench-1?ref=w_cnt_wp_0_28...

That's 80% off the regular price and way cheaper than the Sunex options. I probably won't ever need it but if they're decent quality, that is a smokin' good deal.

I have Proto metric and Blackhawk USA in SAE. My ratchet/socket set numbers are: Proto:J52222XL BH: 3820-S The interior of the twelve points are identical and the exterior polish is the same but PROTO does have the larger stampings. I notice that the Blackhawk sockets are necked down for some...

Needle nose, linemans, diagonal cutters and wire strippers. That will take care of 90% of what a typical homeowner will do. Picking up a receptacle tester and non-contact voltage tester for less than $20 is also a smart move.

I too love my Duluth leather belts. I've had one hold up great for about ten years now and recently picked up another two. I figure I'm set on belts for at least ten years. It is often cheaper to by quality in the long run.

Without meaning to offend, you are not the customer Snap-On or Harbor Freight wants. The company received no revenue from you and is stuck providing replacements at no charge to avoid their reputation being ruined. One could argue that a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty would increase the...

I always thought the biggest aid to splitting logs was giving them at least a few weeks to dry out. It's a night and day difference. How long do you let them dry before splitting?

You are correct, but once a company decides it will pay higher wages and deal with more environmental regulation, the 10 cents of increased material costs is negligible. It's not worth it to the consumer to pay for US labor and get wrenches with soft steal. Building the factory is another...

Just a few thoughts on why things are different; When tools are abused or "lost" (stolen) this is a cost to whoever own the tools. Large companies face higher monitoring costs. In the US, it may be harder to charge an employee with theft or fire them Your salary would be higher if the company...

I had to chime in and say that I bought some of those Matco branded shears and they are very nice. I'm tempted to buy more this time around but if you are looking to round out an order, they're only $9.

The thing with these videos is that quality control and consistency are what you are paying for with the more expensive ratchets. I know the reviewer is not a professional with a huge budget but having a sample of five ratchets would give a much more confidence in results. Without owning...
