    Husky

    Those are nice looking screwdrivers. I think their regular line of screwdrivers is identical to the Craftsman Stinky Handles.

    Oil changers/extractor for your car

    I agree, 3k oil changes are overkill with modern oil. You'll be fine following the OLM and using any name brand dino oil. I have the smaller version of this, which holds a gallon...

    HOT DEAL Index!!

    Even if you're looking for "tools" [sic] storage, good luck finding anything that's actually 30% off. Apparently almost everything falls under one of their exclusions. I'm rapidly tiring of their shady "sales".

    Husky

    Wow, really? I thought they switched over completely to the Chinese tools years ago. I need to check it out next time I'm there. Does anyone know who is the American Husky OEM?

    Harbor Freight vs Craftsman 1/2 Ratchet Shootout

    I've been a defender of the raised-panel Craftsman ratchets for a while, but that thing is an embarassment. It's almost as rough on the inside as it is on the outside. :(

    Computer printer ?

    This is my recommendation as well. Several years back I bought an HP 4M with a network card for less than $100 shipped from eBay. That thing is built like a tank. They're built to be serviced on-site, so if anything goes wrong there's a ton of information on the web to fix them. They're kind...

    PB Swiss madness on Amazon

    Amazon doesn't know if they're hardback or paperback. :)

    Armstrong Catalog Update

    They do look an awful lot like the Sears socket: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00945867000P?prdNo=10&blockNo=10&blockType= The radius on the edge may be a little different. It looks like they used the same etching process, but it was performed by a drunken ape on the Armstrong...

    'Crescent' wrenches?

    Wow, that Klein wrench is pretty. I bought a set of three Craftsman adjustables a couple of weeks ago and I hate to say that they're rough as a cob.

    American made tools or bust?

    I only buy 6-point sockets.

    Car shopping, opinions??

    Really? The details are all over the place: huge inverted door handles, a mishmash of lines and creases. What happened to clean and purposeful? The designs of almost all of the new Hondas and Acuras are tacky and amateurish in my eyes. The crazy grille on those Acuras - woof. Now that new...

    When you sell your toolbox, make sure you remove your Doobage!!

    Last time I got an estimate, you were getting ripped off if you paid more than $25 for a quarter. Of course, that was 15 years ago and before weed was hybridized and genetically engineered to make the user (more) retarded as quickly as possible. It was probably in the box for about that long...

    Do You PlastiDip Your Handles?

    That's cool! How did you get the twine tucked at both ends?

    $50 Craftsman 4 drawer rollaway deal

    This is one of my gripes with the Sears site. You can't browse by products that are available at a local store. You can't tell what's in stock locally until you add a product to your cart. For all I know there's only one of these available at a store in Anchorage. But there's always the...

    What is your single favorite tool?

    Your dad was the man - not just for making the thing, but also for being a tough enough SOB to break that Bonney ratchet.

    What is your single favorite tool?

    My 1/2" Craftsman raised panel with the oiler in the head. My grandfather gave it to me in the early '90's. I may have actually borrowed it. I carry that, a 10" Powr-Kraft extension that was also his, and a (nondescript) 13/16" Husky deep socket with my tools in the truck. Cool old ratchet...
