Anyone have experience with Pelican Parts? I own an AC Hydraulic floor jack, and Pelican parts is a dealer of AC Hydraulic floor jacks and accessories. Recently I wanted to purchase the TOL-FDK1 100mm floor extension. https://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/TOOL/POR_TOOL_ACHyd1_pg9.htm...

I realize this isn't exactly a garage issue, but hopefully someone can lend some advice. My g/f's kitchen sink has a single faucet that mixes cold and hot together. For an unknown amount of time now the sink has essentially no hot water. There is a very slight difference between the hot and...

Tried using the search feature, can't find any definitive information. I'm interested to know what the country of origin/manufacture on Beta tools is. Does anyone know? None of their tools are stamped with it, which suggests Taiwan or PRC to me. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

So I've got probably 6 different cordless metabo power tools. They're fantastic quality. Was looking for a corded drill just as a backup and picked up this 9.6 AMP BE 1100 1/2 drill from them. Well when it came, it had an obvious defect in the metal gear casing housing that butts up to the...

Just saw this online, pretty disgusting: https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/4cdahv/lpt_never_throw_tools_away_especially_craftsman/

Just picked up my first die grinder to upgrade from the Dremel I've been using the past 10-15 years. Got a Fein GSZ 8-280 P and its great. I wanted to pick up some cutting wheels and a mandrel. Anyone recommend who makes a nice quality mandrel? I wasn't seeing many brands I recognized when it...

So I've seen tear downs of various power tools on youtube like Fein, Festool, which are generally made in Germany and seen that compared to cheap chinese made tools like harbor freight. Huge difference in cost, and quality. What I'm curious about, has anyone seen the insides of a premium brand...

Hey guys, seeing if anyone's googling is better than my own. I purchased that nice fein drill kit we had offered in hot deals some 4-5 months ago. It's done great. I saw Fein produces a impact driver (ASCD 18 W4C) that uses the same battery system (even though its just a milwaukee chinese made...

Hey guys, So I bought a brand new set of sunex shallow impact sockets to do a timing belt job on a 04 Toyota Tundra for a family member. Job went well, except one thing. I put my impact gun w/ the new 24mm socket onto the crank bolt and impact it off, and the socket was stuck to the bolt...

Just wanted to post my experience of buying from http://www.jensputzier.com I've done about three orders with Jens (Stahwille Open 14 combo wrenches, Stahwille Corona Wrenches, and a bunch of Knipex Stuff) over the past 2-3 months and ordering from Jens has been by far the best purchasing...

Hey guys, I recently purchased a Greenlee EK50ML120 (rebrand of the Klauke micro tool) for one of my workers as his hand was swelling up after spending all day crimping. http://www.greenlee.com/products/MICROTOOL-KIT--WITH-12MM-JAW%2540c--110V.html Unfortunately I didn't realize the tool...

Searched the forums and shockingly found nothing on these. Has anyone ever heard of HIOS screwdrivers? They appear to be japanese, corded screw drivers. http://hios.com/EN/product/retrieveProduct.php?category_id=183 I was browsing some Proxxon and heard these mentioned, started looking into...

Need to pick up a new reciprocating saw. Recently purchased 2 new angle grinders, a fein and metabo, been very happy with their german made quality after replacing my broken down chinese made dewalt. Is anyone making a USA, or maybe german, or japanese, or anything not china in reciprocating...

I'm debating between a Makita 9564CV http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005Q7BE/?tag=atomicindus08-20 and a Metabo W9-115 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TQEUVUA/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I've researched both these models individually as much as possible. Heard great things about Metabo, and...

I've started noticing a lot of Draper tools being sold on Amazon. Most with a little "Sponsored" text bit next to it. Which makes think I should probably avoid them, if someone has to pay extra just to bump the item in attempt to sell it. Anyways I searched the forums, and wanted to know what...

I know they've offered us GJers some nice coupon codes in the past. Wanted to pick up another set of hammers !

I got this in what I thought was a steal of a price. 14 inch, Stahwille Stillson Wrench for 27 bucks off Amazon, when I know they're usually in the 65 dollar range. Right after I bought it, the price jumped to 67 bucks too. Anyways it came in the mail today, and I cant find any COO markings...

I'm looking to buy some offset metric Facom box wrenches. Having a hard time sourcing a place to buy them in the USA. Just looking to buy about 4-5 singles of sizes 10mm through to 17 or 19mm. Only place I could find them for sale in the US was ultimate garage but they're unfortunately sold...

I ordered this Wright metric ratcheting box wrench within Amazon Warehouse deals. I know many people have been screwed over from some of these purchases when the original purchaser substitutes the expensive tool for like a harbor freight copy. Original Purchase link...
