Hire I done, there is a lot more to it than getting a O2 reading, what’s the fuel?, is the air flow right?, has it the right stack configuration?, what’s your inlet gas pressure?, what do you do if you have excessive CO? Do you know what readings are acceptable?. There is a lot more to it than...

As a Canadian produced product, isn’t there a requirement for both English/French language labeling ??

Growing up my brother owned 3 Western Auto store, I spend many a day, assembling bicycles, wagons, mowers and what not. I had an extensive Wizard tool inventory, 3 divorces, kids and grandkids, I’m down to only a handful of pieces.

It was some kind of manager’s special, $79 dollars ea, then $25 off each set. I was greedy and asked for 2 more and she said no, there were limits on how far she could go.

I had blown insulation, put in my house wall about 20 yrs ago, during a insulated vinyl siding install, one of the best things I ever did, cut my heating/cooling bills, by about 60%.

Picked up 2 sets for $54/ea. Thursday.

My local HF manager, told me they have had the boxes on the floor for almost 3 months, and have had absolutely zero request for availability or any delivery schedule. They have none in stock to sell, they just have the display model.

It was listed at $99, I asked the asst manager, about the $80 price in the ad, she started to bang on the keyboard, turned to the sales girl, said you’re all set, the girl hit total it was $58.34. I check the receipt at home it was listed at $79 less a 25% discount, which must have based on the...

Picked up mine this evening for $58.32

I have a complete set of speciality tools for a Mack Thermadyne, never opened the box. I bought a defunct Buick’s garage’s complete Kent-Moore specialty tool set, never used any of them. Somewhere I have a British Whitworth tap and die set.

I went out to eat with the wife, on the way home I stopped at HD, to pick up the box of 200 socket, that was on sale for $80, it had come in and they said it was now $99. I talked to the asst manager, she asked when I ordered it, I told her Monday, she said okay, banged on the keyboard for about...

My online buying for me is an age problem, I’m 65, I’m use to touching, examining everything before I buy it, it not a money issue, it’s more, if I pay for it, I walk out the door with it, not 4-5 days for it to arrive, I try to buy everything I can locally. I buy from MSC and few others for...

Like I said, I do not shop via the internet, no local Tekton rep, I have 2 of their ratchets, I got in a trade, I’m not that impressed, I’ve seen worse, but nothing I’d purposely search for, very similar to HF offerings, unless I got their cheap ones. Apparently his interest is driven by...

Mac, Yeah, HF could be a viable choice, I’ve never been impressed with Carlyle tools, maybe because they are sold by the f#*knuts at NAPA. If I never step inside another NAPA, my life will be a lot better.

I'm not sure what sparked his interest, I just hope it continues. I have a complete machine shop, tons (truly tons) of hand tools, welders, plasma cutters etc, etc,, except for maybe the resale value, no one in the whole family has any interest, except him. He has been in the shop watching...

I do industrial boiler for a living, all of the newer digital/solid state controls have voltage sensing circuits, guarding against low or high voltages, usually 125 vac -10/+15%. They are extremely quick, go above or below the limits for mil-second, they trip. I have about 7-8 jobs, where we...

Out of a clear blue sky, my 13 yr old grandson, wants tools for Christmas. He had told his mother (my daughter), his other grandparents (ex-wife and her current and his fathers parents) and the wife and I, that’s all he wants. So everyone got together over Thanksgiving, and decided, I should buy...

I don’t own a Miller 350xmt, but I own a Lincoln Invertec V-350 Pro, a very similar machine, a CC/CV power source that’s built like a tank, weighs about 85#, hardly a portable machine. I have as part of my 15+ welder inventory, a Lincoln Invertec V-275S, a machine similar to the Miller CST 280...

Turn on the welder, crawl under the boiler or tank and realize you forgot to turn the output on, I’ve done that once or is that 20+ times. The Maxstar 210 STR, has the ability to turn that function on or off, I set mine to turn the output on, when the welder powers up. I also set the open...

The CST 280 is 208-230 vac single phase or 208-230/460 vac 3 phase
