I hear ya' Fedwrench. I'm new to this forum and sometimes it baffles me. It seems that people here label a post as fanboy without actually reading what was posted. In my estimation, a review is exactly that. While I see your point about pictures adding to the experience, some of us just don't...

I don't understand what is disappointing about my review. I called it exactly like I see it. I am not a fan boy of any brand of tool. My toolbox is full of all different brand. If any brand predominates, it would be GW or Craftsman. It sounds like you wouldn't be happy unless SK was my...

Your comment struck me odd. The intent of my review is to provide my opinion of 4 different manufacturers, not build a case against one or the other. Nor is my intent to bash SK.

These came from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller.

I didn't think about taking a picture before I boxed them up.

I bought the SK set from Amazon. Given how quickly they turn inventory, I would imagine that these are Ideal SK. How do I tell?

I have been saving to replace my Gearwrench chrome sockets with quality, USA made sockets. Not ever having USA made sockets, I intentionally ordered a sets of different brands so that I could see what I like. Here is my review: 1. Snap On 1/4 and 3/8 metric 6pt shallow sets - I found both...

Really nice!!

I've got a Makita 5007 that I've had forever and used a ton. What a great saw!

I really like the knurled Proto extensions.

Those are great motors. I've used the Honda clone motors on lots of things with really good results (go karts, pressure washer, generator, etc.) The only problem I've ever had is with the cheap spark plugs that come with them (usually Torch brand). I would recommend immediately replacing them...

My general rule of thumb: Coarse tooth and roundhead ratchets - Superlube Fine tooth - either Marvel Mystery Oil or Permatex Assembly Lube

If you have a Harris, don't throw it out, that's a quality unit. Get it rebuilt. You'll spend about the same as you would on a HF regulator, but have a good quality regulator. Here is the company I use for rebuilding regulators and torches: http://www.regulatortorchrepair.com/repairservices.php

After going through the new, high tooth-count ratchets from Snap-on, Armstrong and Gearwrench, I realized that I don't like the feel of them. High backdrag ruins it for me everytime. I sold off all those ratchets and am now back to using my old SK and Cornwell ratchets exclusively. Both...

For Christmas, I put down 1,100 sqft of hardwood floors for my wife. I used the following OMT's for a jamb saw: Ridgid 12V cordless OMT- not enough power to cut wood effectively. Ridgid blades were terrible. Fein Multimaster - Great saw, plenty of power. Built like a tank. Great blades...

I really like the Hakko pliers.

What are these?

I have the same compressor that is made by Bostitch. It is a good little compressor. I changed the coupler right off the bat, as the factory push-to-connect coupler would not hold. As for a nailer for trim, I would look at a 16ga finish nailer. Porter Cable and Bostitch make some nice...

No shame in that.

Did you get it running?
