    What is the benefit of expensive tool chests?

    I am sure there is someone that will send you a check or make payment via a PayPal and then send their agent to grab it. The BS meter is maxed. Lower your price or dump it at a pawn shop if you’re desperate.

    Who makes Wright's socket rails?

    The Home Depot units are not the same. The clips and rails are different enough that they are not interchangeable. The Home Depot rails aren’t bad but the Wright I feel are a little nicer

    Cordless chainsaws

    I got a cheap corded one and think it is a great option. Inexpensive and every time you pull the trigger it goes. Also much quieter which I like. I have never tried a cordless unit but my concern with them is run time.

    tooldiscounter.com...

    Items may ship directly from the manufacturer and be held up there. There should be contact and updates on status. They are local to me so I will use will call to grab stuff they have in stock. They have always answered the phone when I have called. Their pricing is usually the best and I have...

    We all knew this day was coming . . .

    They announced last week that my local Sears is also closing. I too have similar memories from my youth at this particular store. I honestly am going to miss it. I still have 2 near me but they are in areas I would rather not go to.

    Ryobi 18v cordless quality?

    With a 4ah battery and a reasonably sharp blade I have had no Issues with mine. I do have the 5 1/2 blade model in the Starter kit. Being a smaller saw it does have some limitations that my 7 1/4 corded can do better.

    How long ago was Snap-on a secret brand?

    This thread is way off in left field. A lot of nonsense on both sides and I see it disappearing soon. Back to the topic I knew of Snap On when I started buying tools.but prior to working in a shop there was no other way to obtain them except chasing down a truck or on the limited used market...

    Ryobi 18v cordless quality?

    Ryobi fanboy here also. I have Milwaukee stuff at work and I bought a Ryboi kit for at home. I have a large collection of Ryobi at home now including lawn tools and I don’t have a complaint about any of them.

    Thoughts on Harbor freights recent expansion into more expensive offerings?

    I like HF for a lot of things. I also see no need to take advantage of their premium offerings. I find Channellocks a great value for pliers and I wouldn’t spend less on a set. I have bought impact sockets there but I skip their other socket and wrench sets mainly because they are never...

    Masterforce Tool Boxes 24" Deep

    Online they offer replacement handles for their Masterforce garage cabinets. Maybe an option to change handle color on a 36”. I like the gunmetal and the green trim doesn’t bother me. It must be popular when I ordered gunmetal had the longest lead time. I still would have picked the blue though.

    gearwrench warranty worked for me..

    I have only needed to warranty 1 ratchet wrench and my Mac guy handled it. I could see them asking for the ratchet to be returned to identify issues so that they can be corrected. I have had good luck with my Gearwrench stuff.

    Masterforce Tool Boxes 24" Deep

    Had a blue 72 inch delivered a few weeks ago. I didn't want to go with the traditional red or black. I had a Harbor Freight 56" prior and I feel that this box is much better built. I have had pro boxes in the past and they were on the radar when I was looking but I couldn't get this much box in...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    I found with the locking extensions that they didn’t lock on some of my sockets. I have a variety of Snapon, MAC, Matco, And box store stuff. It depends on the socket but other than that they seem nice. I did return them and pick up a Mac set.
