    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    Does anybody know if the 40% off deal applies to individual ratchets? Would like to pick up a few Icon ratchets.

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    It’s a pretty good jack. Mine went under 3‘ of salt water during hurricane Helene and again under 5’ of saltwater 10 days later during hurricane Milton. It took a few weeks for me to process the jack and to my surprise, it worked fine. I cleaned and oiled it up good and a year later, it still...

    Milwaukee Socket Set Question

    Thanks for the info. I’m going to take a pass and keep shopping for something similar. I forgot that I do already own Tekton and it’s been great as well. All of my impact sockets these days are Tekton. Now looking at Nepros, Ko-ken, Hazet and a few others. Want something a little different...

    Milwaukee Socket Set Question

    I’ve been looking at new socket sets lately and am finding lots of people seemingly in love with the Milwaukee sets. Decided that I would give them a try but paused that effort when I saw that the sockets are made in China. Ratchets are from Taiwan but the rest seem to be Chinese. I don’t...

    Help with Narrowing Down Chainsaw Choice

    Switched from Husky to Echo. Both great saws. Have a large Echo dealer close and they are easy to work with. No issues with either saw. I’m on my 3rd Echo and they’ve been great. Never owned a Stihl but will likely buy one next just to try them out.

    Par X Wrench Question

    I was recently given a full set of Par X wrenches. The guy that gave them to me mumbled something about the Snap On man pushing them in the 70’s or 80’s. I couldn’t really hear what he was saying but was very thankful for the gesture. Made in USA and they look pretty nice given their age...

    Orange Loctite

    Been using the orange on my 650 dual sport thumper for a while. No issues with fasteners backing out or coming loose and the few I’ve had to remove came out without any drama. Stronger hold but still easy to remove. Sounds good to me.

    I just got tracking info for the Witte drivers as well. Says 8/22 to SW FL. A little over $2 each for German made drivers is a must buy for me regardless of how many I already have. Thanks for the link.

    How bad are Metabo HPT tools?

    I forgot that I have a Met HPT finish nailer as well. No issues and works as it should when I need it.

    How bad are Metabo HPT tools?

    Got the Metabo HPT grinder, chop saw, circular saw and a 1/2” drill. All have been excellent with no issues. This would be non-professional, but heavy amateur use. I do dock and deck work. Man needs a grinder for 10 minutes and the internet pushes him towards a $295 machine. LOL. Nothing...

    Metabo Subfence Purpose?

    Thanks. My other corded tools were all green Hitachis and I lost them in hurricane Helene. Always had good luck with them and am hoping this Metabo is a good one as well. The subfence flips to the outside and extends the backstop while allowing the saw to make bevel cuts. Looks to be just a...

    Metabo Subfence Purpose?

    I just purchased a new Metabo chop saw and it comes with a subfence that gets added to the left side of the main backstop fence. Anybody know what the purpose of this subfence is? Never had one on a miter saw before. Thanks in advance.

    I see they are showing a pic of a ratchet on the 40% off coupon but no ratchets show up when you tap the coupon. Also wondering about socket sets that come with ratchets.

    Craftsman V Series...

    I know this is probably useless info but my sister was laid off by SBD in Baltimore a few weeks before Christmas. Said they are having some internal issues and will likely be streamlining their brands. This may have just been an excuse though to get rid of her. LOL.
