    No oil in new ratchets.

    Today I purchased one of those extendable "SO-knockoff" 1/2" drive Harbor Freight ratchets and... no oil! So I saw in an earlier post that a SO dealer used some tube of "superlube" to oil up fresh rebuilds, but since I don't have access to that, what do you guys suggest as the best lube? I...

    I can't belive my own eyes...

    All this talk about morality, reminds me of a quote my MLK.. I used to run a concrete coating franchise and as a small business owner we all know that if you can cover your overhead then a job is worth doing. Yes, this "deal" or "glitch" on Lowe's hand tool pricing seemed too good to be true...

    What's the P/N on those allen keys? I was going to pick up the Craftsman set, but the only ones on the shelves I've seen are all made overseas.

    Stanley (PROTO) Compression testor: Came with a blow-molded red case and 3 adaptors. The gauge itself has a glass face and is easy to read. The problem I have with most compression testers is the marking lines where the needle falls are hard to see. The Proto unit has a white face and is easy...

    my mac guy is cutting ties with mac

    Well I scanned this thread, and realize that after the first page almost every post strays further and further off topic.. but let me weigh in anyways. Opening a tool truck is a bad idea. If the product your selling is quality then it should be built to last 10+ years without needing...

    Someone is getting a killer deal

    Have you guys seen "Shipping Wars" before? I couldn't even begin to imagine what the freight charges are going to be for moving that thing to wherever it's going.

    Epoxy-coat realistic cure time?

    I used to own an epoxy flooring franchise and there are lots of variable to name here, but generally speaking 24hr is the minimum amount of time to wait before walking on a freshly coated floor. In cooler temps, waiting as long as a week before driving on a surface is recommended.

    my 2 car , for 2 racecars, and wifes car too....

    Nice track cars! Sounds like the red one is in need of a dogbox. I used to own an integra and remember the troubles of short gearing. I'm going to take a wild guess and say the CRX has a N/A D series and the other EF is a turbo B series? If you have a build thread (H-T?) on the track beast that...
