    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Here's a vise I picked up last weekend. It's a Columbian D43 1/2-M4. It's weird that it doesn't say Cleveland, OH on it, just MADE IN USA. Here's what *****. It looks to me like it was cracked or something and it wasn't put together right afterward. Any opinions? It seems to work fine...

    Looking for a high quality 1/2" ratchet (USA) in like-new condition

    If you're on a budget, there's some older RHFT 1/2 ratchet still sold new. Here's a link: http://www.cripedistributing.com/-c-201_208.html My favorite ratchet at the moment is the Williams S-52, so smooth.

    Left HF empty handed today ...

    I picked one up yesterday for $10.99 w/ coupon. Hopefully, it doesn't break breaking some axle nuts loose. One of the mechanics I go to broke his Snap On breaker bar on one of my front axle nuts.

    My latest amazon wright score

    I got mine yesterday and here are my thoughts. Overall, it's very nice for what I paid. The shipping could be better. The box was wrapped in what looks like a paper bird's nest. One of the sockets was dinged or something, probably by the ratchet or breaker bar banging around. It might also have...

    SK vs CM / CM Pro, and price?

    Make sure they are USA made and not China. They recently switched over, probably because SK went bankrupt.

    Bahco, Whats the real story??

    My only Bahco tool is a 22mm 1/2 drive socket. Never seen Bahco before and since it was made in Sweden, why not.

    My latest amazon wright score

    I ordered a set as well on Friday, the 22nd. Won't be here till next week though since I'm in CA. A little upset seeing as how it went down to $50 from the $75 I paid. Not too upset though since I was considering buying a 3/8 set of shallow metric sockets for about the same price of the entire...

    wtb: williams s-52 superratchet

    You might try your local swap meets. I saw 3 S-52 ratchets and a M-52 ratchet today at the swap meet. They were asking too much and I already have the 1/2 and 3/8 versions. The S-52 is currently my favorite ratchet.

    Flea Market Finds Today. Wood Handle Screwdrivers etc

    This weekend, I picked up the S-52 and B-52 and they have got to be some of the smoothest ratchets around. I cleaned and lubed them and they are quieter than the Snap On FL80 I picked up. They're awesome and I hope to find the S-53 one day.

    Buying my first set of tools

    I picked up the 204 piece set a couple black fridays ago for $99.99. Sears will probably have something like that again. If you're not in a hurry, I'd wait. Check the box for COO.

    Harbor Freight 13 drawer tool boxes $271.99

    I picked one up yesterday. Price matched the online price and used the 20% off plus CA tax total ~$320. Pretty happy with the box. The height of the box (w/o packing material) was very close to the width of my hatchback(08 Mazdaspeed3), so I had to take the wheels off to be on the safe side...
