    Kobalt 19-Piece 3/8 drive metric tool set 50% off

    Just out of interest I was looking into the Kobalt "sockets for life" scheme, where you can get "free" replacement sockets if you lose/damage any that you have registered.... It's free. For $4.95 shipping on each socket!!!! Most of the sockets can be bought from Lowes for less than $5...

    Facom Ratchets

    I have a palm control, probably from the mid to late 90's... it's been used, abused (used outside roadside in UK weather) and it's still my favorite 1/2" unit.

    Removing 3M Automotive tape?

    Looking at the pic - is the stripe paint, or a decal? If it's a decal then the tape removal wheel will probably strip that as well, unless you're extremely careful/lucky with it.

    picking out a new tool box

    I've got an H2Pro 41" in black, and love it. It's ridiculously heavy, very thick steel. Drawers are really smooth, and not tight or loose... The only thing I don't like about it, is that you can't open the drawers with the top shut. The key locks the top, and when the top is closed, that locks...

    Anyone ever polish or shine floor jack wheels?

    I keep meaning to wrap the wheels on mine in rubber - something like a slice from a bike inner tube - mainly to keep the noise down when I'm dragging them around....
