Yep. Grew up near one of the largest foundries in the midwest. Their employees work hard, are proud of their work and it supports the community. When some companies started sourcing some castings from china, it hurt the community and nearly shut down the foundry. Thankfully china produced...

I work for New Holland. When I order tools through the employee purchase program, the email goes to a guy in Kenosha with a snap-on email address. If I remember correctly, he deals with the warranty as well. I haven't noticed any USA markings on any of the tools so far, so I suspect Blue...

I have both the metric and SAE quadbox sets in my hand box. Their size is great for carrying in a road box and yet having the speed of a gearwrench. They almost make me wish I didn't drop the extra money on the typical reversible combination gearwrench sets that take up so much space in the...

Check out New Holland as well. Their Boomer lineup of compacts has a very good reputation.

These (at least the top two) would not function as a true go/no go tester. they do however give a good indication of the health of the battery. The biggest thing is making sure the battery is truly fully charged. A tester that is truly go/no go is priced out of the relm of the average home...

Something stupid with the saw would be making unneeded cuts into your foundation. The slab and the foundation shouldn't be connected, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. Broken concrete as clean fill? If it is small enough sized for the job, yes. When they rebuild highways, the old...

If the driveway is actually running down, your plan sounds the most logical. If you're willing to put in the elbow grease, it wouldn't be too expensive. 1. Find a good rental yard near you, and rent a concrete saw, cut around the bad area in the garage as well as a across the driveway a...

OK, that's quite a bit more reasonable. Takes my safety concerns away. It'll still take forever. I'd go with the bowsaw if my life depended on cutting it apart with one of those two saws. A chainsaw will run just fine in any position.

I wouldn't view either of those as suited for the job. You're right, you will be at it forever with either of those. That bow saw is meant for limbing or cutting Christmas tree sized trunks. If you're cutting down a 2 foot diameter tree and wanting to do it with a hand saw, the proper saw...

I've witnessed someone do exactly that. I relocated to the other side of the shop until he was through the panel he needed to resize. For a genius, I've watched that guy do A LOT of stupid ****. He should have died several times over by now.

Coach- Mmm, pie. Unless you're talking cow pie. I agree with the general consensus. You have a good base, but if you're working on farm equipment, you're thin in the BIG stuff like 3/4 drive, unless I missed that. The thing with 3/4 is unless you go HF, you're better off keeping your eyes...

Impressive

Whether to cut into the hill and use that material as fill or truck in depends on what looks like will work best for your lot and what kind of quality the ground material is. Consider handling water running from uphill. For a shallow fill like that, we'd more often raise the site, rather than...

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00983264000P?prdNo=16&blockNo=16&blockType=G16 If I'm reading it right, Sears wants $170 for a 9/16" long pattern satin finish Armstrong wrench... Twice as expensive as a 1 1/2" wrench. Had to laugh when I saw that.

+1 rock solid drill.

Yep, I've asked in the past and I'm always handed a handful of the picks they broke part of the random twisty hook off of. Works great for poking and scraping stuff.

I understand having everything easy to get to, but I don't think you'll have to give that up to gain some room in there. Ernst low profile racks won't even fit in there? http://www.ernstmfg.com/products_lowpro_wrenches.php I'd put a rack like what BMXR posted for pliers in your current...

Nice deal, can't believe I never saw them. Been watching ebay for a second set of metric combos

The current Case IH and New Holland tools are mostly Blue-point. I'm not sure if that's where the boxes are from though.

Odd. The local Fastenal used to carry Craftsman, but the sales guy said Cman recently came in and pulled their contract because they're going exclusive to Kmart and Sears now...
