Anyone use their pegboard on their tool box in a shop enviroment? I haven't found a use for mine but maybe someone can show me the errors of my way haha.

A bit ago I asked the forum about choosing a KRL722 vs a much cheaper US General and pocketing the difference, went with the KRL but it didn't hold much more than the KRA-555 I already had so I sold it. (for the record I paid $1550 for it). I was really considering ordering a custom Lista from...

Hello forum. I am looking for your experiences with a 1/2 Dayton reversible air drill. I have used their random orbital sanders before and they seemed good quality and durable as long as you didn't drop them too often. How is the quality of their drills? Thanks

Can someone post a picture of a Duo socket next to a regular impact socket so I can get an idea as to the wall thickness difference? Thanks :thumbup:

I've been looking to replace my Gearwrench long pattern wrenches with something with a smaller head (avoiding the lobster claw) and lighter weight over all. Besides Snap On is there any other brands to look at? So far my search leads me to Armstrong wrenches, thinner beam and a compact head, or...

I am looking for input from professional technicians on how their US General (HF) toolboxes have held up. I've read through the threads I could find and it seems that most people keep them for 3-5 years and then trade up to a tool truck brand. Is this because you needed to? Wanted to? Were there...

Tried asking this before but I am looking for extensions that don't or minimally twist over longer lengths, last thread turned into a debate about what was actually happening. I keep reading good reviews for Toptul, Genius, Nepro tools. How do these brands compare to say Carlyle? I'm using...

I just recieved a set of Cornwell pliers I ordered last week. And honestly they look like they could have come from Harbor Freight, made in China too. Any tools you got off the tool truck and thought "no way would I put my name on something like this and charge these prices with a straight...

Hey Garage Journal Forum, Have another question for ya. I am in need of some 3/8 long extensions, about 18" and longer. I'd prefer locking, but I am looking for some that won't twist when breaking a bolt free like the cheaper ones I have. The cheap ones don't stay twisted but they do turn about...

Looking to buy a set of reversible double box end ratcheting wrenches. MAC sells a set from their expert line for $200 (https://www.mactools.com/en-us/Expert/Wrenches/E111109/6-PC-Metric-Double-Box-End-Ratcheting-Wrench-Set-12-PT-) But I found out that they had the same wrenches available...

Hello garage Journal, I've used this forum a lot when considering tool purchases but despite all my searching I haven't found a thread pertaining to my question. I am a heavy diesel tech and for the last year I have been the Harbor Freight 300 piece mechanics set for sockets, allied wrench...
