I had asked my Matco guy about these back in Nov. Guee what he just got in today. Gotta love that speedy service LOL. COO on mine says "Made in China to Matco specifications" for whatever that's worth. They seem 1/2 decent and for the price I'm certainly not complaining. Also picked up a set...

I have heard that using those vacuum fillers on some cars can potentially blow the head gasket. If you get one I'd say be very careful how much vacuum you apply especially to an older car. Personally I don't do enough coolant changes to invest in one. Yellow funnel for me all the way.

I would say that 90% of the time I can just shine a bright flashlight down the wall and locate a row of screws/nails in the drywall. I've only got to find one row close to where I need to be and can always measure out 16" at time from there. Admittedly an old wall with lots of layers of paint...

I'd be interested to hear about that. I happened to notice when I was in a HD store recently that Rigid supposedly warranties even their batteries for life. I wish as a family we had coordinated on our battery operated tools. Dad uses Ryobi, brother in law uses Dewalt and I went with...

I'm thinking to buy a precision straight edge primarily for checking cylinder heads. Not something I hope to ever have to use very often. I just like having the right tool on hand no matter what job I'm faced with. For those that do that sort of thing. How long of a straight edge should I...

Although I have complete sets of 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" shallow and deep sockets all USA made craftsman, when I just need to do something quick I find that I grab for this set alot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00062Z3MM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I picked it up at an Autozone I think it was, several...

I'm getting this: https://www.kregtool.com/store/c47/saw-accessories/p265/crown-protrade/ for one of my wood working family members. I had gotten him one of the Kreg Pocket hole sets a few years back and he absolutely loves it. Also depending on which brand of cordless tools you use there...

Wait aren't Craftsman and Matco made by the same parent company? Maybe we'll see Craftsman stuff on the Matco truck at 3x it's current price. It is sad to see Sears go out. Craftsman was what I knew to be "good tools" growing up. Most of the tools that I have the used to belong to my...

I keep hearing good things about the GearWrench Double-X, but haven't had a chance to try them yet.

He starts thumbing through the guide at about 1:33 into the video.

The thing I don't like about the HF sets is that they skip sizes. I'm lucky in that my 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" shallow and deep sets are all USA made Craftsman. Though I've heard that the Husky brand are very good. Haven't used a Craftsman ratchet in years though I do have them in the back of the...

I've been eye balling that Innova myself. Amazon has a really good price on them right now https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KIMHRQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Does anyone have experience with Innova meters? Are they 1/2 decent or am I looking at something of Harbor Frieght Quality?

Milwaukee has all kinds of good deals going on right now. http://www.cpomilwaukee.com/milwaukee-deal-zone/milwaukee-deal-zone,default,sc.html I've been eyeballing the battery powered ratchet for almost a year now. Cheapest price no mater where I bought it was $150 for ratchet, charger 1...

I used mine weekend before last when I cleaned the throttle body. There's alot of plastic and aluminum under the hood of my Focus so as has been mentioned I've used it in the past for the valve cover, and a bunch of other things that are fairly low torque. I'd say I've used it enough to justify...

There have been many tools along the way that were game changers at the time. In my late teens early 20's when I got my first Sawzall.. man that thing was the cat's ***.. You could cut a car in 1/2 with one of them, cut down a whole house if you wanted to. There wasn't too much damage I couldn't...

I have the Gearwrench reversible and like them just fine, but the ones I find myself using most often are the XBeam Gearwrench. They are not reversible, but they sure are comfortable to use and offer great leverage for not being a traditional long wrench. I also have a set of stubbies and a...

That particular ratchet doesn't need the SPP744. It's not a loose ball bearing it's actually attached to the spring. However I did order 3 of the SPP744 just to have on hand for other rathcets I have (Which includes the one I'll inevetably loose and the one that one of my buddies is sure to...

Thanks guys!! I went to order the repair kit and a few other things online. The website told me that all 4 items I wanted to order were not in stock. So I called to find out how long it would take to get everything and was told they had it all in stock. My order will ship today!

I was at a police auction over the weekend and purchased a "bag of burglar tools". It was a black backpack full of tools. Inside was a Snap-on FHF936, a couple of Mac screw drivers, 2 large pair of ViceGrip branded pliers. There were also a couple of beat up crappy Craftsman clear handle screw...

PM inbound on the instincts if they are still available.
