One point is that even though the posting date is 2016, someone might want to post regarding activity that took place in 2015. Such as that when I went to use the computer a couple days after Christmas an HD employee told me that they had no computers for customers. Another employee overheard...

HF has the bulb style squeeze siphon, even cheaper than their pump style and works much better. I used it to empty my el camino tank before I dropped it last month. Easy.

The reviews say this fixture won't flush mount. Has anyone converted them or is there a similar selection that will flush mount?

I've been spending on an el camino project so that is cutting into the tool budget, despite needing more tools than ever! Got something good this weekend, $60 on the Kennedy and $10 for the other stuff. One of the plug sockets is a Thorson, the other a New Britain. The box is in great shape...

Mine came in Friday. No more hunting around for cheap 1/2" sockets to break! And the shirt is great.

Who gets three good vises at great prices in one trip? That seriously *****. I haven't seen a good vise at any price in 6 months, going out nearly every weekend.

Thanks HJE for SK Day. Your order # is: 100001616. Some impact sockets to go with a new wrench.

Hazet, Kennedy, long C Craftsman--great scores, guys. All the personal stuff with the Kennedy is a treasure. Makes you want to keep it together somehow.

I hope 94 got out to, or will get out to, this one i Perl River: http://neworleans.craigslist.org/gms/4858498176.html I wish I could be there.

Thanks to Wrenchette--the guy was offshore since the ad went up, and I happened to hit him just as he got back to town. He might have seen the post, because the first thing he said when I got there was that Kennedy was not HF but he found out it was equivalent to Craftsman. Couple drawers on...

Jim, what did you use to glue your felt down (if you did). I'm working on one identical to yours and the PO, or someone, used a glue that allowed moisture to collect and consequently the drawer bottoms rusted wherever the glue was. You could even see the glue brush applicator marks in some of...

Getting garage/estate sale withdrawal so went out to a couple antique stores that sometimes have tools. Down side is I had forgotten what retail prices look like. Passed on several carry tool boxes--SK, Huot, no names, an interesting older c-man top box and a flat green plomb tools box, might...

So my supersawzall 6538-21 has decided to be crappy while cutting a light piece of wooden fence. Its sparking at the brushes. I broke it down and checked the brushes, they look ok, but the armature looks bad at one spot. Probably hard to see in the photo. There was a small piece of sand or...

...when you read in the tool addict thread about knowing all the tool names including saltus wrench, and you suddenly wonder if the saltus wrench gets its name somehow from the German tool manufacturer Saltus, so you google saltus to find the manufacturer site, but ebay comes up instead, and the...

I'm in for a Knipex New Year!

I'm just shaking my head. You break even on any one drawer, the rest is free tools, and the boxes aren't bad either. Either congratulations or you ****, but they might mean the same thing.

Got C-clamps?

Slow this week, but did get two things today, $35 for a 6" Wilton vise out of China and $15 for a 36" Rigid pipe wrench. Everything has all its parts and works. What I didn't get in numbers I apparently made up for in weight.

I got one recently almost identical to that, in bad shape. The felt was mostly shot, I pulled it all out and found that the drawer bottoms were rusted where the glue had been. I've been making slow progress with sanding and painting, just trying to learn what works and what doesn't. Tried a...

nice kennedys, good price.
