Any suggestions on an air compressor for an average tool guy? Anything that's a fantastic value? Hadn't really needed one until now. Kiddo got a flat on his bike and Dad was outta luck. I'd use to for more industrial purposes as well, not just that. I don't really need anything to run air...

Thinking of picking up Sunex 5153DD (1/2 Metric/SAE Deep set). I want to get a standard set also, does Sunex made a kit like 5153DD, but standard instead of deep?

Hmmmm, just got my Bahco ratcheting stubby and a few other ratcheting screwdrivers....and on the packaging it says the COO is Taiwan? I thought the majority of Bahco was Spanish?

I'm sure there's tons of these out there, but anything that's a good deal/value? All of my tools are a combination of Gearwrench, Bahco, and USA Craftsman. I'm ok with Taiwan for COO (Gearwrench) but if there's a good set/value for USA or Spanish/German I'm all about it. Any ideas? I...

When using locking pliers, what do you find yourself using more? Curved or straight? Needlenose? Why? What uses specifically? I'm thinking straight jaw would be more useful. Thoughts?

Where's the best place to purchase Grip-On locking pliers? I know there's Amazon, however, Chad's toolbox seems to have the best prices. Any others?

Looking to pick up a dremel. I'm used to the dremel of years ago, hard plastic...indestructible. I see they have a dremel 3000, 4000, etc. Is it just me or does the 4000 seem....big? I'm going to get the flex shaft with whatever model I go with...but if someone had experience with the...

Thinking about picking up these: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100630708/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=klein+stripper&storeId=10051 I notice there are also some "auto" strippers from several companies...Klein included. Thoughts on those? Are they a hassle...

I've been goofing around with the idea of buying a circular saw after we installed some shelves this weekend and I had to use a buddy's. He had a Dewalt 7 and a 1/4. Seemed to work good enough. What else is out there? I know Skil makes one I've seen A LOT of people suggest here. Spending a...

There's a ton of companies that make all kinds of assorted pegboard hooks....who's the best in your opinion? Hooks that fit brown standard pegboard and stay in place?

Looking for this. Used to carry it at Costco, but now they no longer stock the item. I can't find it at any of my Sam's stores locally. Ideas? Thing looks awesome!

..Wrong place!

Building my tool collection here. Wrenches, ratcheting wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets, and ratchets are all good to go. What else is there? Allen Wrenches? Who makes a great value affordable set of those? Can I go Taiwan (Gearwrench or Kobalt?) or does someone else make a great set? Can...

I've got a Gearwrench 3/8 & 1/4 right now. I can't find that Gearwrench makes one in 1/2. HF carries some. Made in Taiwan. Anyone else have a suggestion? How are the HF ones?

After looking over this blog here.... http://toolguyd.com/akro-mils-small-parts-organizers/ I need to purchase a few of these for the growing collection of fasteners and such. Akro-Mils a GJ approved brand? Anywhere else I should be looking? How sturdy are these mounted to pegboard?

Picked up my 44 (really 42) HF rolling cart the other day, and I'm looking to get the 7 drawer side box shown here: http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/tool-cabinets-and-carts/7-drawer-red-end-cabinet-for-roller-tool-chest-68785.html Anyone have this side box? Same quality as the cart...

Didn't clean out the truck bed all that great before picking up the HF 44 top box. I had to take it out of the cardboard to make it fit with some other items and it got a lot of dust/dirt in the slides of a few of the drawers. They're pretty rough/scratchy upon open and close. How can I...

I need to pick up a few socket extensions in various sizes. Gearwrench is decently priced at Advance Auto. What about Harbor Freight extensions? They have them in impact versions also. Are the Harbor Freight extensions China or Taiwan?

I know Bahco makes one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006MHEIA8/?tag=atomicindus08-20 ...anyone have experience with that one, or any other brand? Who else makes one?

Anyone use universal joints with their sockets? I use extensions pretty often, but Cripe is blowing out the Sunex set for around $30 or so. Never tried the magnetic flavor. They seem to have a tip on them that goes through the socket a bit to make the whole thing magnetic. Anyone ever tried them?
