    1/4" "Hex" drive torque wrench?

    Could possibly look into who makes both 1/4" sq. drive torque wrenches and 1/4" female bit ratchets and see if the head internals could be swapped.

    New "indexable ratchets" at HF

    Yea they are Blue Hawk. Didn't catch the Swipe typo. As for locking positions, mine lock about 12 positions per 90 degrees, so a round 48 total give or take.

    New "indexable ratchets" at HF

    I have a set I pieced together from clearance (1/4" & 3/8" Lowe's Black Hawk, 1/2" HF). I haven't used them often, but they can be quite handy. Last couple time's I've used them were on 3-Bolt exhaust flanges that were rather tight clearance in the exhaust tunnel. Let me reach around the exhaust...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    Any chance you could post up a full list of the bits included? I've been curious about that set, but can't find a full list (only the range covered in each style).

    Tractor Supply 2017 Clearance thread...

    Found this 5 pack of welding magnets last week for $1.99. Item# 1183189. The camo pattern is kinda silly, but can't complain for $2

    Air hose reels: HF 50' or Flexzilla 50'?

    I have the HF reel with a Good Year hose on it. Got the hose on clearance at Tractor Supply, at the time it was the best price combination. The HF reel is great, but the original hose *****, and left marks on things (like dragging it across a door sill outside). The outside feels like it's made...

    Qaulity 3 Drawer Portable Tool Box

    A bit of a lateral thought and may or may not work for your needs, but Husky also has a bunch of nice tool bags as well. Strong material, lots of pockets, and would stand up to being bounced around a bunch while still keeping tools in place. I have one of their 18" bags, along with an 18"...

    I Need Tips For Extending The Life Of Permatex, etc

    I've had luck using some Teflon tape on the threads when you screw the nozzle on, and then either leaving some exposed or using electrical tape on the tip. The Teflon seems to help it from hardening up right where it comes out of the tube. I don't think the threaded connection is very air tight...

    Leaving garden hose connected in winter

    Quick connects for sure. I have them on both sides of all the garden hoses and nozzles. Makes switching sprayers, connecting hoses together for extra length and unhooking both ends for freezing temps very easy. I picked mine up at Tractor Supply. They have M & F sets, as well as two packs of...

    The blue Scott shop towels make a good filler as well. ~ Carson

    1/4 drive 5/8 chrome sockets

    Haha, know the feeling. I picked up the Blue Point shallow & deep a while back to finish out my Gearwrench set on Harbor Freight trays. So nice when they are filled end to end.

    Plastic boxes tools come in, what to do with them?

    Torque wrench cases I'd keep. For me, I keep the wrenches in a tool box drawer, and the cases tucked under the work bench. Easy to grab one and throw the wrench in it if I need to take it somewhere. As for other blow mold cases, I only really keep ones that I think I may want for mobility in...

    Sportsman's Guide tool clearance items.

    Just placed an order for the two pliers sets. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't really have much in the way of longer reach pliers, should work well for the occasional use. The shipping code didn't want to work, but found another one that did. SH1265

    "Project trays" - Does such a thing exist?

    For lager projects I have a couple of Tear Down carts that I use. Built from extra Kobalt 2-Drawer cart shells. Have magnetic trays in the top compartment and shelves for larger parts. They have been working out great for larger projects (Car repairs, tearing down motors, golf carts, etc.) Easy...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    I personally don't, but this thread has some ideas for making holders out of PVC. Could bolt it the side or back depending on what you prefer. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=175913

    Craftsman 36" Pry Bar with Strike Cap, USA $11.99 on Sears.com

    You're not the only one. I was a bit underwhelmed as well. Compared to the 3pc Mayhew Dominator set I have (12, 17, 25 I believe), the Craftsman feels rather small and a bit slippery. Would have passed at the suggested $32 list and just spent the $50 for the 36" Dominator, but at $12 I'm more...

    need help building a socket set

    For home DIY work I'd recommend the Gearwrench 3/8" Chrome set with free 1/4" set, along with the Sunex 2569 Master Metric 1/2" Impact set. Great sockets and for under $250 a very complete setup. Can add the Sunex 2568 SAE master set as well if you have the need...

    Craftsman 36" Pry Bar with Strike Cap, USA $11.99 on Sears.com

    Thanks OP. Just picked one up this morning. I've been looking for a good deal on a larger bar after having to borrow one a couple times. It will go nicely with the 3pc. Dominator set. EDIT: Noticed the website shows none available around me anymore. It also wouldn't let me order more than one...
