Question for the oldjacks: because you're a connoisseur of these, which one do you like best and why?

Same deal. I saw them a few days ago, ordered, and got an email saying they shipped today. They're OOS on the web page now ... but they do come back in stock periodically.

does the 10% off have a list of exclusions, like the 20% off coupons do? if not ... then why not use a 20% off coupon?

This is an interesting topic. There's usually incentive to not interoperate, and lock consumers into your brand. See the stupidity in the US cellphone industry, for example. I like the WWII explanation... but it'd be nice to know if it's actually true.

dwvcfii, if you aren't already doing this, you should have your webserver look at the Referrer header and serve or not serve the image accordingly. I'd suggest serving an error code instead of an image since you're so bandwidth conscious. All 899 views of this thread must cost you tens of...

If you're set on that wrench set, this double set for $105.99 has both std length and long (the set you want): http://www.tooltopia.com/kd-tools-81920promo.aspx You could flip the standard length wrench set, and save some nickels. I tried to piece together a large-ish KD full polish metric set...

I'll take 527 - SK - 10 piece superkrome metric stubby combination wrench set.

It's not quite the same. The normal 20% coupon is off of a single item, while this one is off of an order > $100. If you buy lots of little stuff, you'd save more using the "new" one.

the web site only knows about "5241 Stevens Creek" in santa clara

That one's like any of the round-head ratchets listed here once you have it open. To get it open, you can use needle nose pliers to remove the retaining clip, kinda like the v series craftsman's lever in the write up you quoted.

There are 2 kinds of sockets branded Metrinch. There's the combination of inch and metric "12 point" socket: and there's the 6 point wavy socket type that were on the informercial: the 62 piece set was the infomercial one AFAIK. There's some insane pricing at http://www.metrinch.tv/ I've...

The morning of a practice day, just before a race, I decided it was time to change the oil on the car in the paddock. I busted out the 17mm gearwrench x beam wrench and required other stuff. It started to rain, so I hustled under the front of the car, lying parallel to the plug to avoid the...

+1 on HF 1/2" for lug nuts and casual automotive use. I've seen racers I trust claim they have calibrated very close to dead on. The $9.99 deal is in a coupon in automotive mags. At that price, it's worth picking one up just for lug nuts because of the probability of it being roughed up a...

+1 on ammonia. Find a cleaner in a spray bottle that's ammonia based but scented. Spray down the glass, put a garbage bag over the panel so it doesn't dry up, and let it sit in the sun for 30 minutes. It should soften up and come off easily with a razor blade.

Just to make this clear for anyone else reading along: this is true of all jacks, HF or not. If you're under the car, it must have jackstands supporting it. I evangelize this rule in the paddock at races all the time. People getting hurt or dying because a car fell on them is just dumb.

I'll take a ratchet. PM'd for your paypal addr.

Doh, you're right. That *****.

HF 13 drawer tool chest is going to be on sale for $359.99 on Jan 14,15,16,17, so a 20% off coupon should stack on top and make it $287.20. YMMV. I'll probably try it out on the 14th. January Blowout Sale Online Flyer The 20% off coupon may be online, but I get one a week from Autoweek. It's...
