I really appreciate all the input from y'all. I was able to talk them down to $100 so I bought it and brought it home. Has basically no run out so drills nice and straight. The height adjustment handle is broken but I have the pieces so I can make a new one no problem. Only other issues are...

Hello, I found a delta 11990 (12") drill press at a Goodwill store and it seems in decent shape. I've been wanting a bench model drill press for a while as that is the only thing I'll be able to fit and this one seems more Stout than a smaller $200 import drill press. They're asking $200 for it...

I picked up a central machinery 4x6 horizontal/vertical bandsaw at good will for $70. Works great and is in basically brand new condition.

Hey y'all I just brought in a ridgid drill for repair to Home Depot and the repair guy told me that at the end of next week they are no longer going to be doing any tool repairs. So if you need your rigid tools fixed under the lifetime service agreement you're going to have to go through rigid...

Got some 16x48 metal pegboard for $10.03 https://brickseek.com/home-depot-inventory-checker/?sku=203950788 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Knape-Vogt-16-in-x-48-in-Diamond-Plate-Galvanized-Steel-Pegboard-0204-1648/203950788

Hopefully the popularity of these will make knipex make a long nose version of their twin grips :-p To be honest I didn't even know these new pliers existed until I saw this thread. The hassle of buying snapon stuff as a homegamer is enough to keep me from trying to get a set of these. I...

For me it has been the knipex twin grips. these are EASILY my favorite pair of pliers I own.

Found some five gallon bucket tool organizers for $3.47 at my local store. They were still boxed up in the overhead with a lable that said they were supposed to have been put out and sold over a year ago. I bought a whole box because I like to give tool related Christmas presents to everyone...

The new twingrips are easily my favorite knipex pliers personally. Many brands are very similar in function for most other models of knipex pliers, but twin grips are in a class all their own IMO. But if you are looking for arc joint equavelent pliers then the cobras are the general go to, and...

Home Depot rents the Echo CS590 Timberwolf. If they can trust it with rental customers then it should be perfectly fine for your average homeowner that needs it occasionally.

SUPER YMMV but I found some bakers scaffold sku 187-079 for $55.03 each. They were labeled as a black Friday special buy from last Christmas. was the last ones in town, though if you live in casa grande AZ they showed some on hand still last time I checked. Basically this exact set...

I am really digging the expanded content TTC is putting out. The flashlight stuff has been really nice IMO. As far as wrenches go I am just a poor schlub that wrenches as a hobby. The vast majority of my stuff is Husky, So while I enjoy seeing the differences between high end tools, I am all...

I picked up this cool Armstrong/Blackhawk "hexite" 3/4 & 7/8 wrench at an estate sale.

Whats crazy about that catalog is that a 24" wrench cost $9.50 in 1942. That's well over $150 in today's dollars.

" So does that mean that this is the date code and it was made in 1942?

I picked up this 24" Walworth stillson at goodwill for $7. I think it looks pretty good after the evaporust soak. Any mfg year knowledge would be much appreciated.

So It would seem I was just overly excited seeing the tie in with the fact that penens, which became fleet, was a subsidiary of plomb who became proto. The more I look into old tool brands the more convoluted they become. Also I really appreciate the knowledge of the 1952 date, as I was not...

After doing some research online it turns out fleet was the precursor to proto which makes this pretty cool. I figure it was well worth the $4 to learn about a new brand. It is in surprisingly excelleng condition considering it's age, looks to never even have been used as a hammer. most of...

There is actually an official play now that is rolling out company wide,. They moved all the end caps to a consolidated area in the back of the store, usually near receiving or right before you go to outside garden. This is to help provide consistency for both the employees and customers.

I know this is for garage sales. But I figure Goodwill counts as a giant garage sale. Managed to pick up a little USA made columbian 3-1/2" vise for $10.
