    Craftsman or Vise-grip

    Thats what I'm most worried about. I know with C-man stuff all I have to do is hand it to the high school kid behind the counter and he gets me a brand new one. Tomorrow I'll be at Sears again. I think I'll pick up a ten inch set of Vice-grip brand straight jaws for around $8 with the...

    Sears $5 coupon

    Used eight more coupons at the Sears near my work with no problem. The girl recongized me and said that I'm the only one bringing these in. I have a week left till it expires and I plan on going almost everyday for all the little stuff I think of everyday. Will probably pick up the five pack...

    Craftsman or Vise-grip

    Thanks for the link Jimmy. You are right, they are much more affordable then I thought they would be. I think I'm going to keep an eye on the C-man ones and watch for them to go on sale. I like the warrenty, and if I am not happy with them I'll only be out $20-$30 for the set. If I'm not...

    Craftsman or Vise-grip

    Thanks jimmy. I just spent some time checking out their website, those are real tool ****. Wish I could afford tools like that, heck I wish I knew where I could go and take a closer look at them. I'm just a young shadetree mechanic building up a tool set. If I had a huge budget I would...

    Craftsman or Vise-grip

    Thanks for the heads up on the frequent sale price Lyaec. I don't need these right away, just saw them at Sears today and had a $5 coupon and Sears gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I just thought I'd ask some advice here.

    Craftsman or Vise-grip

    After stripping the teeth off two Harbor Freight special locking pliers, I'm ready for a good set. I saw these two sets at Sears today. Vise-grip: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00945633000P?vName=Tools&keyword=3+vise+grip Craftsman...

    Sears $5 coupon

    I got the all eight pliers and used 2-cycle oil to get it over $5, each transaction totaled 63 cents. 8 pliers and 8 bottles of synthetic 2-cycle for a little over $5 seems like a pretty good deal. I'm starting to feel a little bad about this whole coupon thing. I've used over 50 since the...

    Found a Maglite, need some help

    Because I'm a poor student, I found it, and this one is blue. I don't really need one so that $15 dollars is going to stay in the beer and books fund. If I can get this one going on the cheap, great. If I can not, no big deal. I'll try the baking soda and water sometime this week. If that...

    Found a Maglite, need some help

    I found a 3 D-cell battery Maglite. It looks like the previous owner left the batteries in it too long and they exploded. Now The endcap, spring and about half of the actual tube that holds the batteries is covered in a white powdery substance. I'm guessing that this corrosion is preventing...

    Sears $5 coupon

    Woodfield, Golf Mill and Six Corners. I have hit all three since Xmas Eve without anyone questioning the coupon. Several of the associates have asked me where I found it so they can print their own. Goodluck.

    Old Craftsman rachett

    I found an older 3/8 Craftsman rachett at a rental property my parents just bought. It has an oil hole in the top and a silver lever. It was turning a little rought, so I decided to take it apart. I cleaned it with brake cleaner, and plan on lubing it with a little bearing grease. Only...

    GearWrench add-ons

    Thanks Red, guys like you are the reason I learn something new on this site every day. Someone needs to start posting some of my Calculus books on here, might help with this college degree I’m supposed to be working towards instead of surfing the net.
