    Show your new tool arrivals

    Had to run an errand out by a not my normal HF. Last week my local HF didn't have the Icon folding light I wanted to buy with my 10% off coupon. Today this HF had them in stock - I checked on-line first as was suggested here! Going in knowing it's 25% off one item weekend I was able to snag this...

    Harbor Freight, Love Them Or Hate Them

    Stopped by the local HF yesterday with my 10% off coupon code in my phone. Been looking to get the Icon folding light. For the third time they were sold out. They looked it up and several other stores had them in stock. Unfortunately with gas at $4 gallon and the 10% savings it was going to cost...

    Anyone have success getting Lowes to honor Craftsman warranty?

    Exchanged a 1/4 dr broken older ratchet for a brand new one at Lowes no problem. Go to service desk, look for younger person or someone who looks bored, they don't seem to care.

    Good Tool Values, Do They Still Exist?

    Lowes has a new look for their Kobalt ratchets. The good news is they're clearancing out their old ratchets! Picked up a long hard-handle flex head 3/8dr ratchet for around $32. All the others were piled on the clearance rack with it.

    Snap on Remline Box

    Nobody asks for the price they'll take.... They ask for more than the price they want because they expect to lower it. Old toolboxes not in big demand and showing up at the guys doorstep with cash in hand puts you in a better bargaining position than the other 25 callers that were no-shows and...

    Snap on Remline Box

    Looks like the top Snap-on box was resprayed red and they painted over the handles. Otherwise they look pretty clean for their age. If all the drawer slides work perfectly smooth then I'd say if you really wanted it the $150 would be tops. With the respray and no keys hit him with $100, and HE...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Replaced the ignition switch assembly on the Escape. Key goes in on the right side and rotates a u-joint assembly to turn the ignition switch on the left side of the steering column. Over time the u-joint assembly wears and doesn't transfer the movement to the ignition switch. Common problem...

    Yes, Home Depot. Need a bigger HD, the smaller ones have little to no PexA supply. HD on line is good to. Opps, sorry, I just re-eead your post, haven't seen the longer ones, just the shorter ones!

    Garage doors- insulated or not?

    Replaced my garage door a while back. Went with the insulated garage door... huge difference in my garage in the wintertime. Warmer, no wind/air movement.
