    New to me truck, Cheap Paint!

    Harbor freight changing store hours.. To support family time.

    The deep impact sockets work fine for me. Lots of other items do as well. They may not be the "best" but I may well be pining for the fjords before they break.:willy_nil

    anyone lose a tool, buy a replacement, then find it?

    I do this with car parts and consumables. Except I never really mislay the originals, I just forget I bought them. And I never think to look at the shelf or drawer they are in.

    Drill Press Problem

    Another capacitor vote. The technology in them has always been and still remains a pain in the ***. Starting caps have a fluid in them (electrolyte) that evaporates over time.
