    www.makitatools.com/products/details/CX200RB I've got this 18v subcompact Makita set, and love it so far. Both tools have plenty of power for my needs, and the battery life is amazing. Home Depot had a special a few months ago that included a free third battery. Sent from my...

    Tekton 1/4 set

    I have that 1/4 set as well as the similar 3/8 set, both purchased from Amazon. The only complaint I have is that the size markings on the sockets are kinda small and hard to read. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Lawn Mower Advice

    I think it may have been some of the trouble. Sometimes it would start easily, sometimes you could pull it until your arm falls off without any hint of even trying to start. Even if it started easily the first time, it would usually just quit within 30 minutes, and not restart. When he...

    Lawn Mower Advice

    Pegboard users!

    Let's see your toolbox.

    My setup is a little more modest than some of you. Bottom is the HF 44", top is a mid 90's vintage low end Craftsman. Mostly filled with HF, with some Craftsman and Husky. Recent addition is the 1/4 and 3/8 TEKTON sockets to replace the mismatched odds and ends that I've been using since I...
