Hey guys, thought I'd ask a question or two on a more rare topic. I have a few chainsaw chains needing just one or a few links replaced. I want to do this myself but have never done it before. I got a few replacement links that come with rivets for the job. It is very important this be done...

Hey guys, many here know I like the Ryobi 18v cordless lineup. I even made a custom adaptor to use the 18v Ryobi batteries to power older Black and Decker 18v tools and posted that on GJ about a year and a half back. I just got my first used 40v Ryobi tools in a deal. I got one battery, one...

Hey guys, I've been learning a bit about New Britain and some of their associated companies or products made for other companies. I don't have alot - some sockets, ratchets, a few wrenches, but the quality and design! It seems to be very high quality, especially the chrome. Thought it would...

Hey guys, we've been finding a number of one off Ebay auctions lately that are great deals for another GJ member or sometimes large stock clearance Ebay deals that many can take advantage of. Everyone is free to post a separate thread on anything they want to, but thought it would be nice to...

Hey guys, one more Christmas deal I found surfing during my toddler sitting time the last few days. Found a 4LN and 6LN long nose vice grips set, new old stock, US made by Petersen Nebraska Vice-Grips rebanded under the Wilde name. I happened to be looking for old stock long nose, as those...
