    Help, I need a new Shop Vac!

    I bought a Shop Vac at Home Depot about 8 years ago. 2 or 3 years ago, the switch on the motor stuck. I called them, and since it was a sealed unit, they sent me a new motor at no charge. I also got the "quiet version". That is a feature I really like. Unlike a lot of people here, Shop Vac...

    An old fool scammed, warning

    I used the above quote to show my kids that there is someone, somewhere, that will show their *** when someone is trying to do the right thing, no matter what your age. My kids are in grade school and have better manners. The gentleman said he was scammed, and told us about it. You slapped...

    An old fool scammed, warning

    Craig'slist, as far as I know, offers no buyer protection. You may want to check with your bank and Western Union. Take some comfort in the fact you are not the first and certainly not the last. Most times I post items for sale on Craig'slist, I get an email like this one in the next...

    Cleaning Products & Supplies Riccar vacuums

    http://www.riccar.com/ We have had one for a few years. Lots of metal, a motor that would probably **** up a tomcat, LED lights, and made in the USA. Oh, we did have a part break on it, we got a new upgraded part, and a 2+ year warrenty. We would buy another.

    Alcohol in the workplace, was it more acceptable years ago?

    I was on vacation visiting friends in Switzerland about 13 years ago. The fire dept. in Zurich had an open house, and with that there was food....and beer. I watched what was either the on duty crew or uniformed off duty personnel sitting and eating brauts and drinking a pints off beer. Now...

    shop stereo ideas

    I have a pawnshop receiver and tuner, and I bought a adaptor from the Apple Store. Added a couple of beat up used Bose 701 or 801s, and I am good to go for cheap. But, it you like talk radio, my DeWalt jobsite radio grabs AM much better:headscrat

    Shop pranks

    Best I can do is a fire station prank. We had a good crew. A few guys wore coveralls at night. One of the medics sewed white lace onto the pant-legs, fixing it so it folded up, and would fold down when he put them on. Late at night, he did not notice for a long time. Another crew got...

    Slightly off topic - LP gas prices...

    Bought a used 500 gallon tank in December so I can utilize the Capitalist system. Paid $1,100 for that, and 2.09 to fill. In Sept. the 288 gallon tank cost me $3.09 per gallon to fill. I called and raised Cain, (very nicely). They lowered the price A LOT, talked to a manager, who found me...

    Given an Evolv tool - what to do?

    I would keep it, as it would mean something to me. Heck, I bought relatives Snap-On ratchets and they still keep reaching for their Pittsburgh and unk name Harbor Freight ratchets more often than not! Saving a buck means more than a busted knuckle to them. It is kinda funny.

    Cornwell Tool Truck Wierdness

    It all depends on the person. Heck, work with people here at the fire stations that I find rude. It is the exception, not the rule by far. I bought some items as a walk on from the Cornwell guy over 10 years ago. I called the same guy back yesterday about flaking chrome on a screwdriver I...

    Missing Snap On dealer part 2

    This is a sadly amazing post to sit down and read. Reminds me of road rage. Ordinary people doing and saying things when they are behind the wheel that they probably not do face to face.
